Thats because we dont have "weed whackers" down here you have to go north of the mason dixon line to find one of those.

This thread has gotten a little confusing as some people are using LE to refer to a certain unnamed person and LE is a common abbrevation for law enforcement. Just an observation.

Now that is one nonstandard ar lower that i WOULD buy. Please tell me he completed it

Availablity of hi cap maga would be my guess. And the A Team didnt use a 742.

Do it. Its worth around $500 if not more

Its all about public perception

Nobody is going to carry around a contender pistol anyways outside of hunting.

No those are federal firearm classifications. The state just wont let you carry a handgun with over a 12" barrel. It would only be an SBR if you put a stock on it and an AOW if the barrel was less than 18" and a smoothbore. People own and use Contenders with 14" barrels on pistol frames all the time to hunt with.

Colt is the classic and first and resale is typically better as they are perceived to be of higher quality. And its made in America

Id go with colt if i were planning to hand it down just my opinion

Another thing is the Sig 1911s have a slightly different slide profile but its different enough that they dont fit standard 1911 holsters very well. They usually require sig1911 specific holsters

I would have guessed he was referring to Carbonite not using their "tools" well but i guess it could be interpreted either way.

The only 100% steel .22 pistols i have been able to find are the ruger mark iii ( non 22/45 model as it uses a polymer frame) and the CZ Kadet conversion on a CZ75

And its not really a Colt, like he was wanting

I would say your only choices are a ruger mark iii, ruger mark iii 22/45, browning buckmark, or maybe a walther p22 but its not really upgradeable

What price range are you looking at because i personally would choose a rock island over either or those two. Both have external extractors and a real 1911 has an internal extractor that works just fine. Dan Wesson, colt, springfield, etc. deserve a look at

The new ones use 1911 grip panels

From my research its a clone of the cz 452. If so it should be a great and very accurate rifle

Its not a pleasant scenario for anyone but it is quite plausible IMO. I could see it beginning within the next 6 months.

This starting to remind me of the movie equilibrium

Ok so who wants to be the first to fire some buffalo bore .45colts through it

The difference boils down to whether you like the 1911 grip angle or the luger grip angle more

They made those in .22 and .45colt/.410shotshell. I wouldnt mind having one in 45

Google says they were made in TN. Company now out of business. Crudely finished. Honestly, id give it a try for $100. But ive always loved the old pepperbox pistols

Does VA not have any additional reciprocy states that TN does not?
