  1. I've been shooting 1911s for a lot of years. Even shot IDPA with one for about 12 years. Lots of companies make decent range mags. Metalform makes Colt's factory mags and they're cheaper straight from their website.  I traded into a batch of Ed Brown mags a while back and they seem to be good. Mec-Gar is known to make good stuff.

    But the only mags I'll use for carry or competition is Wilson Combat. The toughest and most  reliable 1911 magazines you can get. They ain't cheap, but they're worth it. 👍

  2. As near as I can tell, its currently in theaters. No date for streaming as of yet or which service it'll be on. 🙄

    I just don't think I wanna spend money and sit in a theater to see this right now. I'm gonna wait until I see some real reviews from regular folks. I'll still probably wait for it to be on streaming where I can watch it at home. 

    If you go see it, be sure to tell us what you think. 😉

  3. I've heard rumors and seen a couple of clips. Unsure if it'll be any good, but I'll probably see it. 

    If you're interested in that sort of thing, I highly recommend Kurt Schlichter's Kelly Turnbull/People's Republic series of novels. Great stories that could actually happen. 😉

  4. I'm concerned about this. I just turned 70 and am thinking it may be time to thin the herd. I have a large collection. My sons will keep some for themselves, but no way they'll want them all. I have been  seriously thinking about selling many of them off. First to save them the time and trouble after I'm gone. Secondly, they could use the money much more than the guns. I've even considered getting a table or two at a gun show to expedite the process.  According to this, I'm screwed. 💩

    And that brings up another question, what about heirs who are needing to sell off an inherited collection? What will they do? 

  5. I'll be there. 👍

    Lots of us have been talking about this for several years. Here's your chance! 😃

    I'm not sure if I'll do any shooting. I'm much more interested in getting to know other TGO members and talking. But I might bring a few guns just for show and tell. If I have something you'd like to see or even shoot, just let me know. 😉

  6. I have one of the standard PI models and have been very happy with it. My only complaint is that the trigger pull is heavy.  But I can live with it. 

    When the LW came out, I seriously considered getting one. But I don't like the extended beavertail as it would dig into my chubby sides when carrying. I'll just stick with what I got. 😉

  7. I also suggest that you buy ammo in bulk to save money. But be aware that right now most of the good Mil-surp stuff has dried up. If you do find some, make sure the headstamp bears the NATO cross on it. There's been some real garbage imported in the last few years including some fake Chinese junk bearing false headstamps. Do your research.  🙄

  8. I think a lot is going to depend on what happens in November. If Joe gets another term, gun sales are going to skyrocket as will prices. If you want one, now may be the best time to do so. 

    But if you buy also consider going ahead and buying extra mags, ammo and accessories as they will also be going up if Joe wins.

  9. Many years ago I traded a gutted out Bass Boat hull with a non-running motor for a .357 Ruger Blackhawk and a 3rd Issue Colt Detective Special. I had bought the boat wrecked and was working on it, but the project was getting to be more than I expected. The offer was made, the guns were worth more than I had in the boat, so a deal was done. 😉

    The Ruger was gone fairly quickly in a deal for something else. I still have the Colt and will never part with it. 👍

  10. I've been carrying for about 30 years now. While I do generally stick to just a few guns, I have been known to get these odd moods where I may carry just about anything for up to a week or two just to be different. This could be anything from a .25acp up to a .45 Colt. 🙄 But, I always came back to my 1959 Colt Commander in .45acp. This is my first love. 😍

    However, I must admit that in the last few years I do find myself more and more just grabbing my S&W 642 when heading out the door. Quick, easy and it conceals so well. I guess I'm just gettin' old, fat and lazy. 🙄

  11. I have no idea as to what point the OP is trying to make, but I will take a Colt revolver over a Glock anytime.

  12. BTDT. For me it was way back in 2000. Ended up with a triple by-pass. But here I am still kickin' 24 years later. 😉

    Hang in there, do your rehab and kick its butt.  You got this. 👍

  13. Thanks for posting the link Jamie. Lots of good stuff there. 👍

    I remember a time when the souvenir baseball bats were quite popular. My wife kept one of those in her car for many years. In fact, I have several of them around here. I wonder if the old Chicks or the now Redbirds felt they were protecting people when they gave those out? Of course, I doubt they've given those away in years. Probably considered weapons ya know. 🙄

    Ok, so there are very few restrictions on blades anymore. So, are sword canes legal?
