I sent this to our Senators; I am very disappointed in the US Senate allowing an appointed liberal to divert progress against the infringements on our God given right to keep and bear arms. The NFA of 1934 was written to combat a problem created by the US congress with prohibition. Specifically, making certain legal firearms illegal in an attempt to protect authorities from organized crime that grew powerful by making money smuggling alcohol. If we look at historic court rulings and Constitutional amendment, we can see that it is Unconstitutional to attach a fee, tax, or test to any Constitutionally guaranteed right. The NFA goes against the Constitution and needs to be overturned. It seems our court system while being protective of the right to vote, have a blind spot to "shall not be infringed" so it is up to congress to strike the NFA in it's entirety. Joe Biden was a liar, Cannons were perfectly legal for citizens to own. Our founders wanted the populace to be able to defend themselves and their country. Make it right.

I've tried different plugs over the years along with a few muffs. The foamies with muffs are the way to go if you are highly sensitive or shooting big bore indoors. WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THE PHONE?!! BTW, Harleys with straight pipes are bad too.

Looks like Matilda and Snoopy are going to have pups.

No joke, sorry. But it's so hot my dogs come in the first time I call them. And I HATE the hot humid pollen filled "spring"

I agree and can only add trigger reach for my smaller hands. I don't like striker fired and I am not fond of polymer frames though I am working with a double stack DA/SA poly framed trying to get familiar enough with it to be comfortable carrying it. Until I do, 1911 will suit me fine.

same here

Trigger pull is the deciding factor. If you had two identical pistols which one would you choose to carry, the 10# gritty pull or the 6# smooth as glass? Floating firing pins have been in use since the 1880s. S&W used them, discontinued them, then brought them back. Remember, revolvers don't have a firing pin block as available in series 80 1911s. Modern revolvers have a transfer bar that does nothing to capture the "floating" firing pin. There is in my mind no drop safe pistol. The possibility of even a pistol with a firing pin block being discharged by any number of forces when dropped is always there. There is no such thing as an accidental discharge, it's negligent discharge or even unintended discharge. Those who are truly staunch in handling firearms do not break the rules which allow unintended consequences. Machines are dangerous, all of them, including the lever and fulcrum. Familiarity can make one comfortable and thereby lax. Short version; guns are not drop safe, none of them.

Stop it! Old Colts are so sweet, and expensive. That pair is beautiful!

I don't remember the book but it's a true statement.

This strengthens the shot placement argument somewhat. However, the.45s were almost positively not hollow point and buckshot runs out of steam fairly quickly. That said, one 45 to the central nervous system would have dropped him like a wet rag.

Yep, I'm a Col. Jeff Cooper fan. I carry condition 1, Cocked & locked, chamber loaded, hammer cocked, safety on. While this is the preferred method, what you are describing is condition 2 which was totally acceptable and may have been the way southpaws were taught when I was in way back then. I will say that I do not like ambi safety levers as having a lever away from the body leaves it open to be disengaged by simply sliding into the car seat. I also believe the 1911 feeds more reliably with 45 ACP than the 9MM. Has to do with ramp angle and OAL of the cartridge. Most mid to high end pistols have figured out how to overcome this issue.

I've bought from GunBroker. I've bought from local auction house but not firearms.
