  1. A Remington Rand 1911, with a 16" barrel and a rifle stock on the MSH... US PROPERTY still on it, and everything... I will try to take my camera next time. It's at Sumner Guns and Supply in Gallatin... $1100... insane looking...

  2. That's just... stupid. No way would I wanna light that up. Nothing to hold on to.
  3. I agree; I'm glad it's finally on its' way back.
  4. Ok... I called yesterday... told them I was a patient man, but this is ridiculous. The gal on the phone said she needed to talk with a tech that was in the firing range at the moment, and she would call me back. 2 hours later, she calls, apologizes, and says she's personally carrying it to shipping as soon as we hang up. This morning, I have an e-mail with a tracking number. Methinks a tech might be getting quizzed about "forgetfulness and customers."
  5. Sure there is. The Darwin Awards are LOADED with solutions.
  6. "Idiot" is correct usage for this. Wow.
  7. RIP; there is no greater gift... your friend is a hero, indeed.
  8. Yeah, they didn't post my reply. I said (best as I can remember), "My. Wearing our arrogance on our sleeve, are we? I have one, and it's definitely not 'just another plastic pistol,' anymore than all the 'just another metal pistol' we've had for a century +. Perhaps they haven't paid their 'suck up to me fee' as yet?"
  9. Well, went to the range again today. This is the shootin'est lil' sumbitch I've ever had.
  10. Why in the world would that be "against policy??" Good for him! Time for a policy change!!

  13. Why? That's where his Holiness, JMB, was heading with his designs before he died... I've been told...
  14. If looks had anything to do with anything... would I have 7 kids?
  15. Now I just have to find a holster, because my fave (Comp-Tac paddle) isn't an option...
  16. No, I was at Sumner Guns and Supply in Gallatin. What is "quick sight?"
  17. Well, it's awesome. Plain and simple. It is one excellent shooter. And it feels like it's just never gonna run empty; like a Hollywood gun. 18 +1. Ok, let me be specific. The sights; I never had a "straight 8" rig before, but when I first saw it, the concept made sense to me. I figured it would be easier to line up two objects top to bottom instead of three objects in a horizontal line. And that was exactly the case. I think every gun should sight this way. The trigger; I've never shot a Steyer, but it looks exactly like that. Don't know what a Steyer feels like, but this one is butter smooth. Most comfortable. I like my Glock triggers, but this is better. The grip is very slim, especially when you take into consideration there's a double stack 18 rd mag in there! How? I don't know. The contour just fell into my hand; very at home, like a CZ or BHP... but slimmer, and more comfortable. One of the things that seems to be "do or die" for me is bore axis. It needs to be low, and this is probably as low as one can get. I've never understood the XD or SIG concept, like an over-under barrel configuration with the under barrel missing. There's just no reason (to me) for having a barrel that far elevated. FOR ME, it makes muzzle flip bad, and I don't like that. This Caracal is right down to the bottom. Excellent control. Ran one 100 rd WWB through it, and had zero issues. First shot, just in the familiarization phase, dead center of the target. Granted, only five yds, but still I thought that was a good sign. Moved it out to 15 yds after 5 shots, and everything was staying in the center ring. With my eyes, and the corresponding blur of being 56, I was pleased! FOR ME, this might be the best 9mm I've ever had. We'll see...
  18. :lol::lol:
  19. Cash is always a great trade... just sayin'...
  20. Mine doesn't have the two-tone insert, though. Just black.
  21. Average Joe's Handgun Reviews: Caracal 9mm Compact Mine is the "F," though. I suppose that means full size? Looks the same...
  22. Why, yes; how did you know?
  23. Because you're not their only lover.
  24. Well, this is neat. I guess they're a little hard to come by. Caracal F 9mm. The grip has a very much "at home" feel. It has the "straight 8" style of sights. Trigger is extremely smooth. Internals are as clean as can be; looks very well made. Gonna try to get it out over the next couple days and see how it shoots. I'll let y'all know.
