hipower

Thanks for the recommendation. I recently sold a EAA Witness 45 and was thinking about the Elite.

Hi, my name is Hipower and I am an addict. There. I said it. But it still hurts. Let's go shoot something!

XD or XDM. Love'em. Accurate and smooth.

Personal opinion--1 Taurus 709 Slim 2 PPS 3 PF9 First off, I like Taurus and have owned five or six and still have several. Solid , good shooters and fair prices. The PPS is a fine weapon, I just don't care for it; just not a good fit for me. I have a kel-tec 32 and really like it. Bought a PF9 and really hated it. Terrible trigger, not as accurate as I'd hoped it would be, and really uncomfortable to shoot. If you put 50 rounds thru it in one session, you'll really dislike it. I know the 709 Slim is very new and there seem to be some complaints about them, but I find it very easy to hold shoot and carry. An at $400, it's quite reasonable. Nice rounded corners and smooth sides make it a good carry. But if you are uncomfortable with a new design, might I suggest looking at a used 3rd gen PT111/140/145. Only slighty larger, more rounds and usually can be had in the $250-300 price range. Or better yet, the Springfield XD9sc. High capacity mags, same size as the PT series and unbelievably accurate and comfortable to shoot. I bought one for my wife and she does quite well with it. But this is all subjective. Go with whatever you decide fits your hands and needs best. And good luck with whatever you select for your HC class.

Absolutely Georgeous! I got into 1911 45's in the last few years and have 4 now. Perhaps it's time for another.

BEST--G&L/Outpost/Eastside -- for all the usual reasons; inventory, service, pricing WORST--Uselton's/Franklin Gun/Gun City-- again, for the reasons we all know about

Kel-tec pf9. Looooong trigger. Inaccurate and harsh shooting. But this was the second worst gun I ever owned. Number one was from the early 80's--an HK4. A little West German police trade-in piece of crap. A 25/32 caliber convertible pistol with a rotating firing pin for each caliber. As someone alredy said, you couldn't hit a barn from the inside with it. Two of us bought one, they weren't accurate enough to hit a coke can from 10 feet.

David, I'd like 2 of xl and 1 3xl.

A pristine 4inch Colt Python. With orginal box and papers. What more can I say.

A great first effort for the "Second or None" event! Many kudos to David and Ronnie for their efforts in getting this put together. I look forward to this being an annual meeting for Second Amendment supporters. Weather aside, the turnout was good, speakers were interesting, and the company was even better. Also thanks to Chris and the Outpost staff for their efforts. My only negative comment for the event would be to second the request for tent sides. That would have been wonderful for those of us who had problems with the cold and rain. But that's the risk of an outside meeting. Anyway, I brought my father-in-law and brother-in-law and both were impressed with the day. Did anyone see the Fox 17 "report" on the event? What I saw on the late news was a joke. Their segment focused on the gun show sales story from the last few weeks and not the event's purpose. I will be expressing my dissatisfaction to the station.

It seems to me that an effort is being made to change the opinion that some of "all of us" have had of Uselton's; but comments like the above from haydenmp27 do nothing to make me want to return. I've been several times to the new shop in Franklin and to the old Rivergate location. I wasn't treated like a long-time friend but wasn't offended either. However, I understand that emotions have been stressed on both sides and it will take time to smooth them out. But the comment was still not necessary and undeserved by the majority of folks on this forum.

Don't go there.

From a KY fan, I can't disagree about the P11. I've had a p32 for years and found it to be quite good--functions well, pretty accurate for such a short barrel, and an acceptable trigger. So I bought a p11 when they came out. Awful trigger pull and terribly inaccurate. And as you said, very harsh shooting. Sold the gun as fast as I could. Might someday go to the 380, but I doubt it. Not enough difference between them to really make it worthwhile.

I agree, the 9mm revolvers are novel and a lot a fun to shoot. I have a S&W Model 547 that I found in Specialty Arms about 7/8 years ago. I bought it for the novelty factor but found it fun to shoot and pretty accurate as well. However, unlike the comments on late model Ruger and Taurus versions, the 547 does have a pretty strong recoil. Actually feels like a 357. And it definitely doesn't like dirty ammo. Twenty or so rounds and it gums up heavily.

Just told my cardiologist about this. He's reserving on OR for tomorrow.

Retorical question of the day. Not just questioning the Nobel award, but just what has he EVER done?????

How about a vote for Richard Widmark. He played some of the meanest sob's ever on screen.

Don't stop the Star Wars trivia now-- I was just about ready to go get out all the old comics and figures to try and find the awnser.

A good choice for your first 1911. I think you'll find, as jHatmaker says, it won't be your last. My first was a Colt Officer's model, an early 70's Auto Ordnance, a very old Remington Rand ex-service pistol, and then a high-priced toy--a 945 S&W Performance Center Micro 45. But my current favorite is a Springfield LW Champion Operator. Very Accurate! It's a short-barrel commander size and feeds everthing I've put thru it. With the aluminum frame it's a handful, but 185 grain fmj or jhp seem to be the best load for it. You'll enjoy getting to know the Springfield.

Great choice with the xd! I've had an xd9 for about a year. Very accurate, easy to shoot and maintain. Mtac iwb carry holster. You won't regret it. Thinking of upgrading to an xd45sc.

I bought the Jerico 941Pistol Pak-9mm/41AE years ago when it was introduced. Still own it. A good shooter with both calibers, but the earlier versions of the 41AE weren't the most accurate. The 9mm was and still is excellent. But as previously said, it's a little heavy for carry. I was told at the time of purchase that the sherrif in Lavergne had one as his carry/duty gun. This info came from Specialty Arms. Personally, I prefer the Jerico over the Beretta 92, but that's just my opinion.

Another reason Ford may become the last American car manufacturer.

The devil made me do it!

I would agree about the Sigma pistols. I bought a SW40ve used at a steal. Didn't think I'd like it because of all the negative comments made about them. So I took it to G&L and was pleasantly surprised. The gun holds well, is pretty accurate and has very little recoil. All in all, it's a prety good low cost handgun. It's not an xd40, but not bad.

xd9sc. My wife has shot mine and it fits her very well. You mentioned the xdm pistol, that's larger than the subcompact version.
