What a tease. You can’t just throw them out there without a hint of a price. There are a couple I would be interested in. Thanks

Hi everyone, The time has come for me to sell my beloved Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun. I bought this back in the summer of 2015 from the gentleman who runs the SPAS-12 Project (https://www.spas-12.com/) out of Indiana and have thoroughly enjoyed shooting it occasionally over the years, but I have some other projects I'd like to put money towards at this time. The previous owner had cleaned the firearm and installed the replacement buffers and shock absorbers before shipping to me. The weapon fires in both auto and pump without issue; I almost exclusively used the gun in auto mode though. Also worth noting that this example features the push-button safety instead of the lever-style safety, which is known to malfunction and can cause the weapon to discharge without warning. Included along with the gun are both variants of stocks, the fixed stock and the very rare, original folding stock with hook that came on the gun when I purchased it; since someone already asked, changing stocks is easy...all you need is a socket with a 10mm extension...there is a single bolt that holds the stock in place so it's no big deal to change them out. I will also include the sling and expanding pliers recommended by Chris with the SPAS-12 Project which are necessary for helping take certain components apart for cleaning. I will even throw in the hard case and some leftover ammo if the buyer wants those too. The gun is in really good condition overall, but certainly not perfect. It does have some blemishes on it in various places though it still presents very well and gets compliments whenever I take it places. The SPAS-12 certainly needs no introductions...made famous by Jurassic Park, Terminator and a whole host of other movies and video games, it's one of the coolest firearms ever made. Asking $4,000 FIRM and the buyer would need to bring either cash or a certified check from your bank of choice...I am NOT interested in trades at this time. While I'm located in Franklin, I would be willing to meet somewhere within reasonable driving distance in Tennessee. If you'd like to see more photos, videos, or ask questions, feel free to message me here or you can email me at preds98@proton.me and I'll do my best to respond quickly. Thanks! Jay

Per TGO rules please add prices. Thank you.

Hold up there Bubba! Your first 1911 MUST be in .45acp. Further, it should be a basic G.I. style pistol. Otherwise you'll be cheating yourself out of the 1911 experience. Know where it all started and you'll be amazed as to where it can go from there. I think a good starting point is the Rock Island G.I. model. A really good, reliable pistol at a good price. It will be your first, but it won't be your last. You can move up from there with a much better idea of what you want the final result to be. I own a bunch of 1911s. Most are .45acp. A few are in the other original caliber, .38 Super. I only own one in 9mm and all I can say for that is meh! Ain't what I thought it should be. I shot it a couple of times and its sat in the safe ever since. Wish I had never bought it. IMHO 9mm 1911s are for wimps who can't handle a real gun. If you want a 1911-ish gun in 9mm, go with a Hi-Power. Now that's the perfect 9mm SA pistol.

You may be underestimating the dislike of police regardless of color. I just want this mess over before it gets warm outside.

I ended up getting the Defender plan with civil protection option. Considering the cost, it is really miniscule compared to bail and attorney fees. I've been watching the self defense case of Luis Casado on Andrew Branca's YT channel. He had some damn good attorneys and was eventually aquitted. I'm sure he paid a pretty penny for them but they definitely earned their paycheck. The fees for expert witnesses on defense aren't cheap either. Good thing my plan covers all that.

My liability and carry program follows me throughout the United States. It depends on what company you have.

Buy a Dan Wesson first, doubt you will have to buy another one. 45 traditional, 9mm more fun and will shoot it more.

As much as I love my CZ75 and my Hi Power, the OP asked about 1911's-lol. Which is why I didnt suggest a Sig 226 or 229, Canik SFX, Beretta 92, or any of my other favorite 9mm's.

Here's a clean Smith&Wesson Blued 586 6"Bbl. Factory Target Stocks no box. This one is a clean used Smith&Wesson. Asking $1000 CASH. In the pictures shown I wiped it down before pics, so the streaks you see in the finish is from that. I live in the Whitehouse area and can meet in Goodlettsville,Hendersonville, Gallatin, and Nashville area. Could drive a little to meet half way if your an hour or more from me. Thanks. I have this listed on another forum if this sells first on there I'll withdraw it from here. Mods. if listing this here also violates any rules please PM me. SOLD. THANKS

Before 9mm increased in use, 45acp was more reliable in a 1911. Improvements in ammo and the 1911 have made 9mm a very reliable round. I haven't had a problem in the several 9mm 1911 pistols I have.

I have been a member of CCW Safe for a few years now. I have what they now call their Ultimate Plan. I agree with TripleGGG, you should seriously look at a plan that includes civil liability coverage. They used to run a 10% discount on your first year through partners such as Law of Self Defense and Calguns but I don't believe they are doing it as often. You can do a little searching and see if you find a code out there.

From the one and only range session. 100 yards, bipod on the front and bag for the rear.

Nah. The only thing we don't appreciate is when people come here and carpet bomb us with promotions for fledgling sites, trying to seed the ground. Pistol-Forum is well established, just like AR15.com, Arfcom, etc. but with perhaps a higher degree of quality content for the practical shooter.

I have CCW and definitely would add the civil liability coverage. In a shooting you are definitely going to be defending civil cases whether you are charged with a crime or not.

Sold

New Ruger 1022 take down, black satin finish, wooden stock with bag/backpack, one 10 round magazine. Also have the Ruger box. SOLD

Back up, this one appears to have never been fired, from what I can tell when looking at the Forceing Cone and no sign of Flame Cutting on the under side of the Top Strap near the Forceing Cone. This one is clean.

That's what I expected since you said they were inexpensive. In that case, a normal knife sharpener should work fine. The only problem is the coating on the blade will load up a stone or diamond really quickly so you need to be careful not to get into the coating. Else you spend more time cleaning the stones than sharpening the blade.

Bought at auction. Always thought I’d want to reload but know I’ll never get around to it. Was told everything to reload was present but I have not used and it very knowledgeable regarding. dies for .38 and .223 everything in pic is included. $350 OBO

Sabre Red or POM. Cheers, Whisper

Its gonna be as high as snoop dog!

I went in to buy a new belt couple days ago, they wanted my name and address for cash purchase. To which I replied, Mike Hassler, (615) 599-5562... excited to see if theres a follow up..

The ceramic knives can't be sharpened as far as I know, least wise not in any knife sharpeners I'm aware of. When you do purchase knives, avoid those that say 'stainless steel'. Go for knives that say 'High-Carbon Steel." Stainless knives aren't easily sharpened and are cheaper to make than carbon steel knives. Victorinox knives are great, inexpensive, and will last a lifetime. Are also easily sharpened. Look for the ones with the Fibrox handles. Victorinox with Fibrox handles They easily outperform knives costing three times the price. Remember, no one ever said, "The dinner was terrific but it would have been so much better if you'd used a $300 fancy imported Damascus steel knife instead of your $30 Victorinox." Let me know what you think of the Accusharp. There are good videos on youtube that will show you how easy it is to use it.

That tool says it will not sharpen ceramic blades.

If it were me and I'm thinking of purchasing my first 1911. My suggestion is if this is your first experience with a 1911 you should read up on how everything works on them. It does take some dedication to operate and carry it safely. I've been carrying a 1911 style handgun for over 30+ years. Either caliber is a good choise, look at Springfield Army, Dan Wesson. What's your budget for one thing. Feel free to PM me any questions you might have.

Regardless of what same I really like a 9mm 1911. I use mine as a house gun and it is shot a lot at the range. You can shoot a lot longer with 9mm then most calibers for less cost. I do have a 38 super that is a blast to shoot but ammo is hard to come by. check out the Rock Island. Very nice pistol for the price. I have the GI model and the Rock ultra which is my favorite

I have a pair of consecutive serial number 92 Extreme's from the initial run. I was so happy to see my first service pistol turned into something more modern, with a frame mounted selector. It handles and shoots very well... more of a range toy though, as it is just about as heavy as a carbine.

I dry fired my friend's trigger yesterday. The break felt exactly like my Timney does, but the reset was a lot more pronounced. He played around with several connectors and settled on one of the Lone Wolf connectors. I would buy one of these before anything else if I wanted to change the trigger from stock.

Seems to go with the Get Off My Lawn 3000

Are you sure they're ceramic? You can't sharpen ceramic knives with any normal sharpening system.

This should have been a concern for you from the time you started handling firearms. You shouldn’t need this case to teach that lesson.

Wow, that video is INCREDIBLE! That is one talented lawyer right there.

And the pop stars.

They support the second amendment but not the fourth. Sounds like the owner or employees need a civic lesson. Stand them up. Then tell them to pound sand on the purchase.

My standard answer to such questions is "You don't need it." And they don't.

Whenever I am asked for such information when paying cash the answer is a simple and authoritative NO or “you don’t need that”. It’s that simple.
