Not trying to sound insensitive, but why the hell can't the Iraqi people do something about it? I'm of the opinion that the Muslims that don't actively take part in terrorism still support either directly or indirectly. I've heard very few ever speak out against it.

If you ever find yourself up this way, you are welcome to try them both. Maybe it's just me, but I've never been able to get a good group from the Gold Cup.

I can't speak to the Glock, but my LCP functions flawlessly with Magtech ammo. I can tell you that my youngest son is small, and he tends to be limp wristed when firing it. Sometimes it fails to feed or eject with him. So do 1911s. The LCP works flawlessly with me. I would make sure you have a high and solid grip on it when firing. If it persists, it might be time for a new recoil spring.   You are correct, that is unacceptable for a handgun.

Not really. They are a 1911, built like a 1911 should be, in nearly any configuration you can think of, and are fairly priced.

Where are you all finding 22 magnum ammo? I'd like to buy a couple of boxes of hollow point Winchester, but evidently, it isn't available at this time.

http://www.grashornsgunworks.com/ I bought them from this fellow. He is first rate! 70 series. About the only negatives you'll find about them are from people who've never held or fired one, and think them junk because of their price.

I can shoot it more accurately than my 70 series Colt Gold Cup, and it has yet to have a failure of any kind. I have no complaints, and would buy another one. I think they are one of the best handgun values available today.

...and the only "good" rifle has lever or bolt on it. :rofl:

Every time I've seen this come up on gun forums, and it happens with regularity, I've asked for anyone to link to a case in which handloaded ammunition has been a determining factor in a self defense case. Perhaps there's one out there, but so far I've not seen it.   I deer hunt with handloads. They do nothing magical that a factory load will not do.   I wonder if there were trial lawyers back in the cap and ball days.......EVERYONE handloaded!

Man, I'll bet a 25acp is an aggravating little bugger to load! 9mm is borderline too small for me.

I wouldn't consider that safe for most normal applications....and it IS still a 2 stage trigger.

Looks good to me! :up:

Depends on what I'm carrying. 380s are small and tedious to load, so I carry factory ammo. If I'm carrying a 38 or 45, they'll likely have handloads in them.

If you want a really good trigger, you have to buy another type rifle than an AR 15.

You guys give me hope for the future of our country.   Everything I have I owe to Jesus, and my wife. A good wife will pat you on the back when it's deserved, and put a foot to your hind end when it's appropriate as well.   Oh yeah.....28 is a LOOOOOOOOONG way back in my rear view mirror!

I would say a Geissele trigger isn't a necessity on an AR, but they do make them easier to shoot well, and more enjoyable to shoot. If that's worth $150-200 to you, go for it. If you are quite budget conscience, you can get by with a less expensive trigger. As other have stated, if you buy one and don't like it, it wouldn't be difficult to resell.

If you would have stayed on the line, I'm guessing she WAS with the NRA, and would have hit you up for money shortly.

:rofl: Good point! I believe my creator would refer to this as hypocrisy, and takes a very dim view of it.

I haven't carried a bolt rifle into the woods in several years now. I'm starting to get away form scopes as well. As I'm on the downhill side of 40, however, the iron sights era will likely be short lived.

I find I'm not quite finished......     What gives you the "right" to healthcare, food, or any other valuable commodity?   I may agree you have the "right" to purchase it at market prices, but it costs money, time, energy, and effort to develop and produce. Without the promise of financial gain for doing so, few people would produce food, healthcare, etc. This where your thinking is flawed. Government produces nothing; it only sucks from productivity like a leech. It cannot mandate the development nor production of any good or service.

This is the first thing competitive in nature I've ever entered that required firing a gun. I definitely suck at it, but it has piqued my interest. I hope you get another one together at some point. :up:

What you are describing is precisely communism. I can't believe someone is on a gun forum, of all places, spouting this garbage.   Communism would be a beautiful thing if people weren't inherently sorry. That being said, the only way to motivate the average human is to reward productivity. "The resources" do NOT belong to everybody. Some people SHOULD have better healthcare, better food, and better doctors simply because they got off their @ss and produced enough to be able to afford these luxuries if they so desire.   If you work 6 days a week, and I lay my fat behind on the sofa watching Jerry Springer all day, what gives me the right to a portion of the fruit of YOUR labor?       Perhaps you'd be more into something written by Marx?

Well..........if police said it...... :shrug:     :shake: What the hell do they teach in journalism school these days?

Looks like it's gonna shoot! :up:   Nothing wrong with a lever rifle, I don't care what anybody says.
