Yep...I cried all the way up there, the 9mm was a good pistol. I've been "consolidating" calibers...all 3 of us (wife, son, me) now have 45's for pistols and 308's for rifles. At least those are the ones that we shoot most often...makes buying reloading components a lot easier (cheaper). Will do on the range report...its supposed to rain tomorrow so it may take a few days

He traded with me...now I gotta go get my (my sons) brand new Bersa Thunder 45.

If it were me...I'd want at least $250-$350 to boot...depending on which 835 he offered. Check the prices of the 835's online...then decide how much the 1911 is worth to you. (used SS Loaded is worth about $600 if its in good shape)

Welcome from another new guy... Those 1911's are hard to beat...

BTW...You're welcome.

My friend is wanting to trade with me...he has a brand new never fired Bersa Thunder 45 with 2 spare mags. He needs a little $$$ to fix his truck, I think I'll offer him the 9mm and $100. I'm just not really a 9mm guy...that's why I stopped carrying the Bersa. Technically I have given the 9mm to my son...but he's been saying he wants a 45 anyway.

45 acp loaded with 230 grain Hornady Flat Point FMJ bullets...pushed at or near +P velocities (900-950 fps). That load will hit hard and penetrate deep...no matter how many legs the threat has.

That's Henry my 8 year old Tennessee racking mule...he's a pretty good mule (most of the time ...he's a lot like a "one mans dog" though)

Boomhower, Can I steal your sig line? I like it...and its true. I figure I'll bump into more than a few people that know me on here...so I thought I'd make it easy to figure out who I am.

I've changed the recoil springs twice.

Those Bersa's are some darn good pistols...I have had a Thunder 9 Ultra Compact for e few years now. Many thousands of rounds of +P and +P+ ammo have been fired through it and its still running great.

Hello from Surgoinsville.

Hi all, I just found this forum last night...sorry I'm late. I am an active shooter of both pistols and rifles, I'm also active on a few forums (moderator on 1911auto.org, member on 1911forum, member on THR, and a couple of others) I carry my pistol religiously both at home and everywhere else. I'm also a "hobbyist" long range shooter...been at it a long time, just never competed. My guns.... My daily carry...a Baer stainless Stinger (in its natural state...used hard, but never abused)...its 2 years old with over 12,000 wonderful rounds through it, and 7 deer in the freezer with it. My carry rig (the buck knife cases are mag carriers)...a Versa Max II, the belt is a Milt Sparks also. My wife's XD 45 Compact One of my 308's (I have 3)...my SPS Tactical, I love this little rifle. And my reloading room... Me and my wife... Nice to meet you guys.
