1911

[SSmith]

thanks. sometimes i think i'd be better off just throwing the gun and save the ammo.

Maybe just grab a shotgun and some buckshot. At 10 ft you can't miss

Nice shootin there Tex…….

Agreed

 

[Keystone19250]

…talk about a thread going off on a tangent…

My thought exactly.

 

[Keystone19250]

Yea, for once I had nothing to do with starting it to do that

No matter what you are always considered an instigator.

Cico - Polishing rails and possibly some deburring (?) on the Garrison is high on my to-do list !!
Could you PM me how you did yours? Products & sources, technique - anything u think useful - would be appreciated !

I use it in my Dremel tool and wipe down. I also used a narrow file in the slide to make sure there were no burrs.

it'll make you an expert shooter faster.

Reloading is a little slower...but target acquisition....doesnt matter.

 

[cico7]

if it gets to that point i'll be better off swinging a sock full of nickles.

You listened to G Gordon Liddy too!

Listen here bird man……that’s a good was to get plucked!!…..

California because a doubled up sock is considered an assault sock.

I heard CA has a $10 limit on quarters.

Just throw it fast enough and you can make a pretty big hole in the paper.

Hopefully it doesn't keyhole...

It u put hollow points in the gun before you throw it , it won’t overpenetrate, and plus you’ll get better expansion.
That’s my technical advice ( stolen from H.Gruber).

True story:

Not me, but a buddy at a training class was doing a fire/reload drill; seems he forgot to grab a spare mag.

So, he fired, went to slide lock, dropped the empty mag, went to reload…no mag.

So he looked at the gun for a second, then yeeted it right into the face of the silhouette.

The instructor laughed his butt off, saying “THAT’S the spirit! Never give up!”.

similar thing happened in a class i was in but rather than throwing the gun the person walked up to the paper target and punched it. we all cracked up.

I don't see any difference other than cosmetics, and marketing terms.

If one is looking for an authetic USGI WW2 configured 1911 the SDS US Army is the closest vs, the 2-3 SA "Mil-Spec" models.
