Not a fan; they just scream concealed gun to me. There was a time when if you saw someone with a fanny pack you just assumed they were carrying.

I like the A-7's; From 1978 to the early 1990's the local Ohio Air National Guard base had Corsairs and I saw a lot of them flying .

The devil is in the details; Watch the annual deductible amounts, out of pocket max and Rx Deductibles. A lot of the zero cost to you plans are high in the deductibles and out of pocket amounts.

Yes; when I carry an autoloader. An extra magazine, specially the single stackers, carry flat and unobtrusive; either in a coat pocket or belt pouch.

From what I can find; RUAG - the former owner of the Norma name also owned GECO and other ammo companies. Their NORMA ammo was made in Hungary, (GECO facility) Germany and Switzerland with most here in the states being made by GECO and this was the commonly found 1181 FPS 9mm 124 gr FMJ load...

The author needs to do more homework. The Model 12 shotgun was not a Browning design. Winchester's Thomas Johnson I believe was responsible although he incorporated some of the Model 97 (a Browning design) components. Browning broke away from Winchester over his Auto shotgun; he wanted...

I just bought some Norma 9mm 124 Grain hardball (Range and Training ammo). I expected to find it was made in Hungary (GECO) and I expected 1181 FPS and FMJ listed on the box. Instead; is lists 1200 FPS and Totally metal jacketed and the box says assembled in USA with US and foreign...

Personal preference; Some like the arched but it seems most like the flat ones. Manufacturers put flat one on because that is what most people want any more. 1911's were originally made with flat housings but they were chanced to arched, I think when the 1911A1 chances were incorporated. The...

Glad to hear it. I lucked out with my Ronin; fit at the rear is great.

I would not want anyone so dumb who would do that by accident to be my representative. Also; I would not want someone who would do that intentionally than lie about it to be my representative.

I like 124 grain as a good all round 9mm weight; I don't have much need for the 147's and don't buy 115's as I see no reason to practice with one weight and carry another. For hardball I have Blaser brass and I have some Norma on the way ( The Norma sounds interesting and was priced right) for...

Slide to frame fit is great on mine.

OK; Disassembled today ( first time in 35 years I took a 1911 apart, I still remembered how), looked everything over, wiped it down, changed the recoil spring to a 12# Wolff and changed the firing pin spring to the XP wolff that came with the recoil spring after cleaning F.P. hole out and...

That's my plan. are you using stock SA or aftermarket parts for spares? If aftermarket, steel or Titanium firing pin and whose? I see the Ed Brown FP for a Springfield is less that half the SA Stock price but is tool steel not titanium. If I get a F.P. stop; drop in or one that need...

I don't have the issue with MIM parts that some have; perhaps that's my manufacturing and engineering background. I also don't have an issue with investment castings; look at what Ruger has done with them. The old timer in me prefers machined forgings and nice wood but I can appreciate a...

Ed Brown suggested considering replacing any plastic or MIM parts. I think I will replace only if a problem comes up. I think most MIM parts are actually pretty good any more. Otherwise Colt, S&W and others wouldn't be using them with good effect. I know there was a hue and cry when S&W...

Thanks; Another question added; Are there any MIM parts in the Ronin? The firing pin stop maybe?

Those of you with more experience with the SA 1911's. Are you having good results with the Titanium firing pins and stock springs? Mine a new to me Ronin 5" 9mm ( early one marked Ronin Operator); I believe it has a 9# recoil, 23# hammer and xxpower FP springs If not stock how are your's set...

There was an early episode of NCIS where one of the agents wonders what Ducky looked like when he was young. Gibbs answers Illya Kuriyakin

A Ruger Speed Six; .38 spl.
