We had to chant that in the mess hall.

I had one that was stolen in a breakin back in 07. It was one of my most favorite pistols. It was a MkIII. TIsas is making a blue version and a stainless steel version. Both are great looking pistols. I’ve thought of trying to find one.

I’m tempted to go back and get the Sauer... but I need to get the Backpacker layaway out first. I’m very tempted!

I’ve seen photos, but never one in real life, until now. This one was a beaut!

Me too! This was the first time I got to handle one! It was very comfortable in the hand! And I didn’t realize they were a hammer fired striker. You could cock this one and the striker was attached to the hammer. Just really interesting! But that Sauer 1913! It’s a great looking pistol! Every bit as nice as this one! https://images.app.goo.gl/A114jrHULUtp67yX7

I think several here have them. I looked at a couple today at my local LGS. One is the new Shopkeeper and the other was a little 4" ,22LR with a birdshead grip. That one I'd like to have. They're neat looking little pistols. I'm not a fan of the safety that comes on them, but I doubt I'd ever have it on, anyway. I would also pick this over the Wrangler, for the same reason, being able to get a .22mag cylinder for it.Just makes sense.

Went to my LGS this afternoon to pay on my Ruger 1022 BackPacker. While there, I perused the pistols and saw a couple of great old pistols. First up was a Savage 1907 .32ACP. with an extra mag. It showed some blueing wear, but was in great mechanical condition. The second pistol, was a GEM of little pistol! It was a J.P. Sauer and Sohn Sulh 1913 .32ACP. Both were purchased from an estate sale. The Sauer blueing was in great condition. Honestly, I believe it was shot very, very little. It looked like an almost new pistol. to be so old! If anyone in the Knoxville area is interested in checking out these fine old pistols out, they are at Crossroads Firearms on Broadway, in Fountain City. I'd post representative photos of these two pistols, but I find posting pictures here an exercise is frustration, so you all can DDG them and check them out.

I’m so sorry Chip!

Yes. Look under barrel length. It comes in a 4.02” length and a 2”. https://www.armscor.com/firearms/ria-imports/revolver-series/al3.1-revolver1/

RIA makes one with a 4” barrel. PSA just doesn’t have them.

Just 2” at PSA.

I wish the barrel were a half inch shorter.

If Con Carry is passed, I have every intension of keeping my HCP, if the system is still in place. One of the big draws for me to get my HCP was the ability to carry outside of Tennessee, in states that I travel too. I must confess, that part of me would love to see National Recip passed, just to give the finger to New York, Cali and the other states of that ilk. However, I see this as much more dangerous to our rights in this State, so I do not support it.

If you google Tisas, this thread comes up on the first page of hits. I honestly think it needs to removed, because of that. BTW, I just Googled Tisas again and it still comes up on the first page of hits.

Yes, he got the Ban Hammer.

Congrats!

Yes, normal sized grips should fit, that are made for a Government model or most any model of a 1911a1. How do you like the pistol so far? I've been eyeing them for sometime, because it's so much like the pistol I carried during Desert Storm. Thinking I might trade my Springer XDs .45 for one. I never carry it anymore, since I bought my Ruger LC9S Pro.

Ironically, universal background checks would not have prevented the Parkland shooting, yet the Post-Dispatch editorial board lists such checks as a “rational” response. In fact, universal background checks would not have prevented the overwhelming majority of mass public attacks that occurred over the last decade, because the attackers acquired their guns at retail via background checks. I think we all know what "Rational Response" thaey really want. This is simply a stepping stone.

There for a while, 10mm was available. Not, not so much.

I'm hearing very favorible things about the Hi-Point 10mm carbines too! I have 7 -10 round Hi-Point mags and one of those Pro Mag 15 rounders (which I will not use). I'd be willing to trade someone that wants to fool with the Pro Mag, for another Hi-Point 10 round mag, if anyone is interested in the Knoxville area.

I'm not familiar with the Glock 30SF, but anything Glock is going to be reliable. The Hi-Point 995TS is a fun little budget carbine. I've had two and loved them both. However, neither reliably fed HP ammunition. So I keep FMJ in mine. Both were utterly flawless with FMJ and when using Hi-Point magazines. DO NOT BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY ON 15 ROUND PROMAGS if you go with the Hi-Point. I know that Hi-Point is selling the Redball 20 round mags on their webiste, so you might check those out, if you must have hi-cap mags. With my current Hi-Point, I have taken off the iron sights and added a cheap reddot. It works great and is holding the zero. The little carbine is quite accurate out to 100 yards too. The trigger is nothing to write home about, but once you get use to it, it's not a deteriment to accuracy. I let my first one go on a trade, but immediately regretted trading it it. My current one is going no where and currently resides in my home office, as my house long gun, when I'm working.

I pretty much have already done this. All my carry pistols are 5 to 9 rounders. This. They already know the flaws in the AWB from the Clinton years and know how to fix them. I expect that when we see it coming down the pike, it's going to look a lot like what's happened in the left controlled states of the Northeast or West Coast. We can expect all firearms transfers will have to go through a FFL, prior to it happening. I just hope, that if it happens, it's not as draconian as New Jersey, where it takes months to get approved to purchase a firearms. At the very least. I don't expect there is going to be any sort of immediate purchase option either, like now, with instant background checks. I expect a 15 day waiting period at the very least and TICS will no longer exist. All BGC will have to go through NICS. Don't expect that this time around. That's your Sherriff now. But watch for the Feds to start making examples of those that stand up and say no. Then tunes will change or those folks will be seeing the inside of a prison cell for sedition. Yes, I said sedition. That cat's already out of the bag, after January 6th. It's the new buzz word. If folks think the Republican Party, conservatives and Libertarians are Facists, they ain't seen nothing yet. The Democrats are about to bring it to a whole new level. Left-Wing Fascism is alive and well and coming at us like a mile long train.

I think this is a good thing for Colt! I hope that CZ works to bring back the luster that the Colt name once had and makes Colt products that are both great quality and also affordable to the common man. I've always loved Colt revolvers, but they are just priced way passed my purchasing point, when so many other firearms are of equal or better quality for a cheaper price.

I'd love to see Constitutional Carry here, with a permit system in place. I'd keep my permit though, so I could carry out of state, where allowed.
