I'm now in the market to add a 1911 to the arsenal. I don't want a 5" bbl., I would rather have a 4 - 4.25" bbl firearm. I'm not picky as far as finish color, SS, 2-tone or Black are fine as long as the gun looks good in that finish (subjective I know).

So far my choices seem to be:
S&W SW1911PD (108283) 4.25"
S&W SW1911 (108310) 4.25"
Springfield PX9115LP 4"
Springfield PX9142LP 4"
Kimber Pro Carry II 4"
Kimber Pro CDP
Sig 19GS0014 4.25"

Who in the Nashville area would have most of these guns? Franklin Gun Shop (only been there once)? Any tips or advice?

I want a .22 so we can shoot it allot for the cheap at the range.

I would like to find something SMALL, around the size of a Walther p22, but not sure I want a Walther p22.

I am wondering if S&W makes anything around that size, semi or revolver.

I will check back after work. Thanks.

Price is very important on this. I don't want to break the bank.

S&W probably first choice, but feel free to list other major brands.

Key it has to be for small hands. She can now correctly hold a full size pistol. Very short fingers. ]]> Handguns vontar http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45855-need-suggestion-practice-22-pistol.html Keltec P11 vs Keltec PF9? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45831-keltec-p11-vs-keltec-pf9.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:29:17 GMT Is there really that much difference between those two 9mms besides the appearances?

I'm seeing the P11 is in $250-300 range which is great for me. Not really sure of price range for PF9?

My situation - I'm getting back to jogging and I know the time change is gonna be here before you know it and I'd like to have something light, also in 9mm (since most of my guns are in 9mm so I'd like to keep it in same family), small, maybe a shoulder holster under my jacket or long sleeve shirt? Or would that show up well?

Or is there something I can wear it concealed? I usually sport a tshirt and gym shorts...winter will be jacket and long gym pants.

Share your experiences....

I still have to order the Wilson Combat sear spring, Wilson Combat snag-free 3 dot sights, STI extended thumb safety, Les Baer custom match sear, and I am wanting to drop the trigger dow to like a 4.5#.

What is the difference in the "N" or an "S"?

I just got back my dads 29-2 nickel plated that the serial # starts with "N". It has a scope mount that the bolts have been stripped. Going to get those removed. Really in good shape, my dad killed several deer with it. My brother had it for years, long story, and just got it back to me.

Reasons I picked the SR9 were:
#1 cost - it's downright reasonable.
#2 features - for the cost it is packed with features many others priced higher don't have.
#3 - ergos - feels really good in the hand and is extremely slim.
#4 - looks - I know it's opinion, but I think they look really good. Especially the 2 tone.
#5 trigger - stock trigger and reset were actually pretty good.

I know Ghost is making a trigger mod for the SR9, but is there anything else I just have to have on my new SR9?

BTW - I foresee having to get the SR9c down the road!:D ]]> Handguns Smith http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45716-sr9-owners-input.html Hi-Powers are Sexy! http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45705-hi-powers-sexy.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:51:29 GMT Glock's are rugged, 1911's are classic, Beretta's are racy but Hi-Powers are just plain sexy.

I dont really dislike the grip but i feel it has some room for improvement. I bought a houge slip on today and like some aspects of it. I read some reviews (after the purchase) and found out about some slipping issuess. So far, it feels good but i haven't had a chance to go to the range. Is this really a issue? I went ahead and cut out a little extra space around the magazine release just to ease my mind until i get to the range. Please give me your opinions on aftermarket grips......

Also, is there any reason not to buy a $6.00 plug to fill the void near the magazine well? I feel like i read somewhere that it was there by design but i cant remember for sure......
