Capacity sells. But frankly history proves it is about time not capacity. In a gunfight, time is the key. A fatal shot delivered promptly is the key, not how many rounds in the mag. I spent decades worshipping at the alter of capacity, but as the timeclock proved I was better and faster with a...

Well, frankly no. Why. Because guys on this forum need to understand how different life is in other places, and how they need to make sure their homes don't become those places. Because they will if we don't vote. Just saying

No forward cocking serrations. Dang it, that is my weakness!!!

And yes, I know my answer drifted into the campfire staple "If you could only have one handgun" question! But the Les Baer 1911 .45 acp is target ready or suitable for everyday carry or nightstand duty to protect hearth and home. Add a Marvel Conversion kit to .22 rimfire and you open up more...

Alright Hans, I will bite. What is wrong with the Les Baer? Why would you get rid of it? What model is it? I have a real fondness for them...I have one and it would be the last gun I would sell if times got hard.

Well, no offense intended. I was offering my perception of the man, based on my decades of professional experience and personal albeit casual conversations with the man. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. But I remain steadfast that he is the most significant writer of our era. Looking forward...

Fair enough. But I think you are leaving a lot of Knowledge on the table. I grew up in what sounds like the same era as you did. As a small kid that was listening to the Columbia Conference...I learned to listen.

Well, he is a well connected writer and has been accepted as an acknowledged expert in court as a witness. He grew up around guns and has served for a LONG time as a Peace Officer. What other author pray tell meets your qualifications as a man worth reading?!?

Gents, we grew up in the early days of bullet development. There is no question in my mind that the 9mm with a modern bullet design is WAY beyond the days when Col Cooper condemned it. Having said that, I still believe in the .45 ACP because it does not count on bullet design...even in...

Ayoob is, dare I say it, a National Treasure. He asks a lot of the hard questions from a perspective that can not be ignored. And he has police contacts that enable him to explore actual case histories. He speaks the truth. I have followed him since he was championing the 41 Magnum in the early...

I am out of my blackpowder phase, but these are the two of the most graceful pistols ever made. I should have one of these in my home office desk drawer just to look at...and not be afraid of having a pistol out of the safe that is not on my hip.

Bill Laughridge does great work. Years ago he slicked up a Colt 1911 for me, so later I had him slick up a S&W 1911 and install an Ed Brown barrel and bushing. He replaced all the MIM parts with Ed Brown Hardcore Parts. And of course an arched mainspring housing. He was in town for the Bianchi...

Global Warming. Look, since kindergarten these kids have been brainwashed by the public school system that their grandparents screwed them with their cars and air conditioning and industrialization, so the planet is going to end in X years. Why waste time getting an education or a good job when...

A hybrid makes sense to me. All electric does not. And I do have some ownership experience. When we first started dating, my wife had a Prius. Her definition of a "good car" was based on gas mileage. Terrible waste of potential fun. It was a great car...she had purchased it new, and outside of...

Remember the Grendel .380? Loaded from the top, blind magazine using AR stripper clips! George Kellgreen is not afraid to try different ideas, that is for sure.

Precisely. World War Two was won by kids the same age I see working at the grocery store today that can't set their phones down long enough to stock the shelves. It was the backbone of the Fighting Men that sacrificed so we can live the easy life we live. I owe it to their memory to have one to...

I have always felt my lack of a Garand was the chink in my cultural armor. A true Gentleman would have a Garand to go with his 1911.

No Beltfed, I taught them to shoot without a rest!

I think this would affect too many voters. I hope so anyway. The only thing that keeps a politician away from your money is when they are afraid the voters would throw them out of office for it. They are too protective of their gravy train with biscuit wheel jobs to anger that many voters...I...

Annihilator, sounds like you should be a highly paid "consultant" to the news agencies. They could have had a scoop if they had someone on the team that knew anything!
