Sure will Doug, GT made me one similar to the one at the link below with a few mods, fits my had perfectly, balance is superb! Here's an article about it. http://www.chuckhawks.com/grohmann_1_knife.htm

Great choice Doug. You'll love it. Mike

Just got the Canadian Belt Knife (bottom picture) in the mail. The feel and balance is incredible. It's got a slight palm swell and fits the hand perfectly. I can't wait til deer season. Awesome job GT!!

GT is that the first picture you're describing?

The last fine piece of excellent craftsmanship is headed my way gentlemen! GT out did himself on that custom order.

Totally agree! I have one GT knife that is superb and another in order.

all good info, thanks guys.  what are your thoughts on barrel length for sporting clays, 26", 30"?

I'm shopping for a good sporting Clays gun. My Superposed is choked F&M, too tight for my skill level on the course. I'm a Browning guy and would like either a Citori or Cynergy. Advise please.

I looked at SA TRP over the weekend, very well built and great feel, but a little more than I want to spend on my first 1911 at $1600. I'm slowly gravitating to either a Sig TacOps or a S&W Tactical. The Ruger would be an option also, do the Rugers come with a checkered front strap, I feel the need for that? I don't remember seeing one with it.

There is some good guidance in the previous posts, many thanks to all. Is there anything i need to lookout for when purchasing a used 1911?

I read a comment in another forum that Kimber has lost some of it's quality over the past few years as their production level has increased. Is there any truth to that or just sour grapes? I do like the look of the TRP and prefer the front strap checkering.

I have no intentions on doing any modifications, maybe changing the sights, but that would be it. I like the looks of the Ruger and the Sig tacops, but have read that the Sig isn't a true 1911. The only version i've shot was a Colt Commander, which felt good, but it seemed a little plain.

I have Glocks, Berettas, and Browning (FN HP SFS) hanguns, but nothing on the 1911 platform. Please recommend a quality 1911 to start with that doesn't break the bank. I want something that I wouldn't be ashamed to tell someone I own, maybe around $1000 or less. Thanks for the help,

Franklin Gun Shop, I just traded it in this past Saturday.

Owl Hollow does not allow the 50 BMG.

Thanks guys for all the info.

Usleton's in Franklin, very nice indoor range.

Will a Beretta 92 made in 1993 handle +P ammo?
