    Making a change…

    I ended up buying a EAA Witness Elite Limited in 9mm to replace my XDM 45 that used to be my bedside gun. I can’t copy the pics off the site I bought it from so I snagged a pic of the same model from another site for reference. Got that nice durable hard chrome finish. Factory magwell and...

    The S&W 686 Plus .357 Magnum: Still Relevant?

    They are out there. I ended up getting mine on GunBroker. Cost a fortune but I have it. Think I paid a little over $1k for it but that's my fault. Bucket list gun...

    The S&W 686 Plus .357 Magnum: Still Relevant?

    Hope it’s still relevant. I just bought one, 7” stainless 3-5-7 series, in February. 😉

    Kimber Rapide Black Ice in 9mm

    I just checked. The 9mm aren't in stock but if they were, we are only talking $35 off the entire order from the Scheels pricing. $93/500 CPRN 45s and $114/1000 CPRN 9mm and $32/250 9mm. Cabelas was still way cheaper. $696 at Midway (after tax and free shipping) vs $531 at Cabelas.

    Kimber Rapide Black Ice in 9mm

    I just bought a Kimber Rapide Black Ice in 9mm a few minutes ago. This one was lightly used. The pics from the seller are below. $1350 after taxes and shipping. I could have bought a new Scorpius for $1400 but part of the equation was that the Rapide "Black Ice" is no longer in production. Don't...

    Arthritis Tips: How to Load & Unload Semi-Autos

    I have mild arthritis in my hands which will get a lot worse as I get older. Flare ups make it difficult to hold onto anything. Just carrying a Walmart grocery bag feels like the fingers are tearing out of sockets. I like those 9mm 1911s for those days. Light slide draw combined with my UpLula...

    1911 Range day

    I think I around have 19x 1911s today but 6 went to the auction. Today I’m looking at replacing all the polymer guns I just hauled in there. Those 1911s account for 80% of the semi autos I have left after that. I’m looking at an EAA Witness Elite Limited at the moment to replace my XDM bedside gun.

    Making a change…

    When I put the vault in a couple months ago, I had one 9mm. Now it’s gone and I have three 1911s in 9mm. I am a big bore guy but I can’t deny they are just pleasant to shoot.

    Making a change…

    In my opinion, for accuracy during high speed shooting, 9mm in a 1911 is hard to beat. I’ve not yet tried a CZ but I expect the same. I have a Tanfoglio Stock II in my sights. Not a CZ but dang close.

    Making a change…

    Yeah, several of those I sent to auction are discontinued models. Once they are gone, they are gone. At the end of the day, there are only two reasons I have polymer to begin with. High capacity and they are cheap. I’m thinking about branching out to the CZ/CZ clones (like Tanfoglio). That...

    1911 Range day

    That’s some crazy high caliber 9mm shenanigans right there 😂

    1911 Range day

    Trying the narrow end next week 😂 Surprising how disconnected you get when you don’t pick one up in a while. It’ll make the best of us feel like a noob those first few mags.

    1911 Range day

    Btw, we ran about 100rds of mild Speer JHPs through both the 9mm Rapide and the Garrison 9mm. They both ran without issue.

    1911 Range day

    Little brother and I just had an afternoon of 1911 shooting. He is rebuilding his gun collection too. This range day started with him wanting to look at my S&W 1911. Told him I thought about getting rid of it and i told him to come out any shoot it before he decided he wanted it. In the course...

    Making a change…

    I barely put a dent in my rifles/shotguns. Mostly handguns went. I only sent 3 AR12s, 2 Ruger precision rifles and a 45 carbine to auction. All my AR-15s, my Henrys and all of my walnut stocked rifles and shotguns remain in my collection. This move was mainly a switch in collecting handguns.

    Making a change…

    Well, I never thought I’d do it but my Springfield collection is gone. I took 26 guns to auction, my polymer Springfields didn’t make the cut. I kept my 3 Springfield 1911s and my stainless 911. Springfield still remains my favorite manufacturer of polymer pistols, I am just switching to all...

    FedEx requirement

    Happens to me all the time. I have a steel job box out front for deliveries. no one ever comes to the door. They just drop it in the box. The woman who delivered that last Springfield sat out in the drive and called me (I was in a conference call). When I didn't answer, she drove off. I called...

    FedEx requirement

    They now scan your ID for firearm deliveries too. I had several go back to Kimber and Springfield lately. The very last delivery was a Springfield (they use Fedex) and the driver informed me they had a new protocol. Funny that was the case because I only had the paper version of mine as I was...
