I was saying this very thing to my wife- I noticed an awful lot of people there that are at least as old as I am if not older- There isn't enough money in the universe to get me at a action such as this- Those my age and older should stop and think of the real reason they are there in the first place- There are way too many that are believing the lies put out by leftist media- I would think that by the time you are old enough to start using Metamucil you wouldn't be foolish enough to believe everything you hear- And shame on your old ass for getting involved in stupid crap like all this in the first place-6 points

I talked to my son-in-law yesterday and he told me the morning was fine and crew was getting job closer until 3 white vans showed up and 8 ICE agents got out. 30 minutes later he had to shut the job down because he was now 17 men less working. ICE arrested 17 illegals on his jobsite and took them away. They were all men from a Temp Service. He found out later that day that ICE went to the new Football Stateum Lost 48 Temp Company employees to ICE and they had to get more vans to pick them up. My son in law went to the office of the Temp Service to find out what was going on and why their Temp workers were put on jobs when they didn't have Green Cards and the guy said that they were not required to check for green cards. Son-in-law informed him that they would not be paying them for the half day and would not be back for workers anymore. Now with that said. If anyone on TGO is looking for a good paying job Liberty Construction is hiring legal citizens and Americans. If you are interested send me a PM and I will hook you up.5 points

I have an excellent condition: Benjamin 392 .22 caliber pellet rifle, oak stock, and Williams rear sight. It was one of the last oak stocks listed for this version when I bought it. I'm not a collector, just don't shoot it (safe queen), had some backyard pests that needed to be stopped. It is in excellent condition and have only shot maybe 100 .22 cal pellets through it (very accurate didn't need too many pellets). It'll put the hurt on backyard rodents and so much fun to shoot. Pump to the power level you want or need. Comes with a can of 500 .22 cal 14.3 pellets (very accurate in this rifle), a 392 o-ring repair kit, and tube of high quality pellet rifle oil. It has such low use, always keep a couple pumps in it for o-rings, that kit was never needed. Side note - No more pests $225 meet in Smyrna4 points

I have a good friend that has gifted me a number of fine firearms. He stopped up a few Saturdays ago and had a pair of 25s that he thought I would enjoy. A gorgeous 25-5 in .45 Long Colt An equally beautiful 25-2 in .45 ACP with original barrel. The hard chrome finish is spectacular and very durable. They were plated 25+ years ago and the 25-2 in .45 ACP has but the fainest turn line. I shot a 4" 625-3 in IDPA for some years and a 5" 625-4 in USPSA and sold both of them when I stopped shooting them so I'm looking forward to getting some .45 ACP moon clip shooting in (I still have my 646). I can't recall ever having shot a .45 LC so that will be a new experience. Cheers James4 points

As a genealogy buff, I found this idea very intriguing but could not bring myself to do it because I did not want my DNA in a database such as this. Really glad I made that decision.4 points

Those Otis cleaning kits are a racket. Like when you see all the crazy 16-piece knife sets when just a few key ones are all you need. Just buy things you'll use to clean, and find something to put them in. I still have an old ammo can for mine. Oil, (I use Break Free and Rem Oil) Q-tips Pipe cleaners Old dental tools Boresnake Toothbrush Shop towels I can't remember when I've used anything else. It's not complicated. Just get as much of the carbon off as you can with the oil and tools, it doesn't have to be pristine, look for any rusting, and a good coat of oil wherever metal touches metal. For the AR, I had an old Sergeant tell me, "pretend the bolt carrier is your dick, the rest is wherever you're putting it, and lube both up".3 points

Gun has been flawless, I’ve just been in to other hobbies lately. It has 400 rounds through it. Zero failures! Comes with 4 factory 15rd mags, box, soft case etc. also comes with a Holosun 407C X2 Red Dot and a Muddy River Tactical appendix holster. I’ll throw in some ammo for whoever buys it. $1300 cash FTF in Spring Hill/Franklin Will sell without Holosun for $11003 points

SPM Great condition M17 Commerical version. I had it mounted in a Flux Defense Chassis but I moved a different variant into it. This comes with one 17 round magazine and one 21 round magazine. Not sure what happened to the original grip, so I put it in a full-rail x-carry grip. I have a standard rail x-carry grip in black I can throw in if you want it (free). Asking $4503 points

Grip safeties and thumb safeties prevent trigger movement. We are talking about inertia driving a spring-dampened firing pin into a primer when a gun is dropped, not a trigger actuated ignition. A heavier firing pin spring and/or a lighter firing pin can mitigate this, but ignition reliability can be compromised. A non-drop safe 1911 is much ado about nothing IMO, as opposed to other designs.3 points

Don't run it through dry either. Put some Hoppes or similar on the snake before pulling through. When clean, put some gun oil on it for the last pull through. This will help preserve the barrel. The reason for going from the chamber end as Redd33 stated is to protect the crown of the barrel. This is true of any firearm. Good luck.3 points

The first time I used a boar snake It kind of scared me. Go ahead and pull it. It'll go through no worries. You are running it from the chamber end up to the muzzle, correct?3 points

Well, not exactly. Have you ever heard of a 1911 being dropped and shooting somebody? I haven’t, but it’s happened with other designs.3 points

As long as there are employers who are willing to hire illegals, they'll keep coming. Neither political party will do anything to impose penalties on those employers, and we all know why. And thus the illegal immigration problem continues.3 points

My deciding factor is finding a relatively slim gun that hits the sweet spot between a grip that is long and prints like a broomstick under my t-shirt vs a grip too short to get three fingers on and pinches a blood blister on my palm loading a magazine. The itty bitty whiz-bang double stacks don’t blow up my skirt. My typical carry gun ends up being something along the lines of a Glock 48 (barely), a Springfield EMP4, or a Sig 365X Macro.2 points

Well, lots of noise about drops and NDs. Not in the habit, y e t, of dropping handguns. 320s have had their issues, 1911s, SA revolvers, and then don’t forget shotguns are not drop safe and I can’t tell you how many I’ve witnessed in the duck blind, but luckily none fired….multiply that nationwide every season. I don’t think I would make that issue the top of my list on which gun to carry unless dropping things routinely is your MO.2 points

Just my two cents worth: Never heard of a "free firing pin" Have heard of inertial firing pins on 1911's, and most modern guns. To my understanding these are to prevent contact with the rear of the firing pin by a foreign object setting off the round. Something that could possibly happen on a weapon with an exposed hammer. There is a thing called a grip safety on the actual 1911 design which should keep it from firing unless it is gripped in the hand. A few modern interpretations of the platform unfortunately eliminate that feature. And finally, a 1911 can be made unsafe to carry because untrained persons try to improve the trigger with a file and no brains. Back to the OP's topic. Just find one you like and practice with it. It is a proven platform.2 points

I did 2 ss myself. a Uberti cattleman stainless and a SS Kimber Raptor 1911 pro. Took me 36 hrs. to do the 1911... I polished it to shiny finish then gave the flats a brushed finish. it was fun. need patience and no machines. Just various grades of emery paper as fine as 2000 grit. Chrome company I used.

Can't buy this one. My SR1911 has a titanium firing pin. Drop, no kaboom. The 1911 has a rebounding firing pin. It takes a heavy strike ( like the hammer falling ) to set em off. Eighty series..... Firing pin block. A solution for a miniscule problem. I think the " drop safe " thing is a a once in a blue moon thing. It panders to the novice gun handlers. The first rule of using firearms other than not pointing em at anything ya don't want ta shoot is to keep em in your firm possession at all times at all costs. Remember; the 1911 was designed as a calvary pistol. Troopers used the 1911 effectively astride galloping horses--- one handed no less... No " modern " pistol has surpassed the trigger on the 1911. Your mileage may vary. leroy.2 points

If it's just light freckling, you'd be surprised what rubbing it gently with 0000 steel wool and oil will do to remove it.2 points
