Time is the big thing. Everyone is enamored with higher and higher capacity handguns, but honestly in most gunfights a fella runs out of time before he runs out of bullets. Like of often repeated "Better a 5 shot J Frame in the pocket than a $2000 custom 1911 in the safe". Always have a gun...

Hey, wait a minute! No top, windows or heater either! I got ripped off!

And no radio in my Cobra!

I suspect nobody has it in 3D format because it is so easy to get the part from Springfield for us. Simply no market for a 3D printed part when the factory part is so cheap and available. Interesting question though. I was out of the game long before 3D printers were a thing. I wonder if there...

OK, truth be told, I am old now. The Les Baer is a five inch 1911 and heavy. When I carry optic free, it is either a SIG Nightmare Fastback in .357 Sig because I like the caliber or a Scandium S&W Commander size 1911 with an Ed Brown barrel/bushing and otherwise slicked up by Bill Lauthridge of...

In defense of Mas, what is your safety worth? The safety of your family? If the Wilson Combat 1911 gives you an edge, no matter how small, wouldn't you pay it? You are guilty of dereliction of duty if you did anything less than 100% to keep your family safe. Screw it. I am carrying the Les Baer...

Exactly. Get a good trustworthy 1911 Springfield Mil Spec and spend the difference in cash between that and a true custom pistol in ammunition and classes. Future You will thank you.

I think if you buy a firearm worth owning on Gunbroker it comes wrapped in Hi Points to prevent damage to the actual firearm. Has this policy changed?

Missing the mark. Us old guys that still like revolvers also like walnut!

Ha Ha. That is the Generational Gap. I finally went to a Glock 19 as a daily carry gun because of my Cop buddies. I resisted because I didn't shoot it quite as well as my good ol' 1911, but it was close enough. And it had over twice as many bullets. And it would not rust. And it could be run...

He is correct. I own a Les Baer 1911, the realization of a lifelong dream to have the Ultimate, to me anyway, 1911. But the prospect of it sitting in an evidence locker rusting away while the legal side is sorted out after the, Heaven Forbid, justifiable defensive shooting occurs leaves me cold...

I am sure the Dems are factoring this...how much lower could they go in the polls if this happened? Regular, go to work Americans would not look favorably on gangs of people in the cities looting grocery stores...and shoe stores, and jewelry stores because once a riot is triggered, everything...

While remarkably effective at reducing felt recoil, you sure pay a price with increased noise.

Ha ha! Shelby himself said no beans in chili, but don't tell...I put in black beans and red kidney beans! Texas Residents are now fetching a rope.....

Remember the ads from Smith and Wesson back in the day when they were comparing cast Ruger vs forged S&W? Thick is good for burgers and shakes, but revolver frames not so much or words to that effect. Pictured with a thick revolver shaped hamburger with GP 100 grips.

Quality of metal is the question indeed. I don't know of anybody at the range that has a high round count out of the Turkish guns. Time will tell, as the old saying goes. Surely the code is good on the CNC machine since so many of the products are reverse engineered (or so it seems) but now that...

In keeping with my longstanding policy not to insert myself into any risky situation I can avoid, I cooked up a pot of chili today so I won't need to go to the grocery store for a couple of three days....

And I sure agree with ECS686, max loads are not near as fun as I thought they were in my youth!

I am not an engineer, but I know when Browning went to make a .40 cal Hi-Power they had to go to a cast frame as it was tougher than the forged frame. I know, exact opposite of what I thought as well. But Browning knows more than I do!

Well, here is where we can use the Lefts court cases against them. Since back in the day the Supreme Court ruled that excessive road blocks to access your rights are unconstitutional, we have precedent...from when those clowns sued over access to abortion clinics to murder babies. It boggles my...
