It has been just about one year since I tried my first 50 BMG. It was a McMillan Bench rifle with a Night Force scope. We where shooting at 525 yards. The gun has very little recoil and I was instantly hooked. I now have a State Arms shorty and I would like to find some other local 50 BMG shooters to talk about the 50 BMG.

I have owned both guns at some point. The PT1911 is a fine gun with features that would cost extra on other guns. For example slim line grips, and front strap checkering. You do not see 20 LPI checkering on Kimber's, Springfield's or other under the $1000 mark. The Taurus has a nice trigger and is reliable. I do not like the sights but I have heard that for combat use the big front dot is the thing to have. I like to target shoot with the 1911's but I carry a Glock. I believe that if John Browing would have liveda few decades longer he would have invented the Glock pistol first. The XD's are just as good as the Glock IMHO. I refer the Glock's simplistic design

I am a little new. Where is his shop located? How close is the P6 in size to a Kahr CW9?

I love my 1911's. I also prefer the commander as a carry gun. You will also need a Full size for target shooting. Just to be safe you will want to get an officiers model for 'Sunday'dress clothes, then a 10mm for deer hunting, a 9mm for the wife, and a 22 converstion kit.

I picked up my Auto Ordnace 1911 in 10mm from the gun smith on Friday. I fired a couple rounds for function on Friday evening but not for accuracy. Steve johnson at S&R Guns in Cookeville is an amazing 1911 pistol smith. He took a sow's ear and turned it into a silk purse. He installed a Briley Bushing, new hammer, new trigger, Trijicon Nights sights, beaver tail safety, new grips, trigger job (zero creep!), extended safety, bead blasted the frame, teflon coated the slide and added 24ib recoil spring. I just fired the gun for accuracy and it is amazing. The ballistics on a 10mm out of a 5" barrel is very close to that of a .357 mag out of a 4" barrel. I would like to take my 10mm on a deer hunt. My only regret is that I did not use a more expensive host gun. The Auto ordnace was about $450. With the first 50 rds the gun has been 100% reliable. I really like 10mm autos. Does any one else have a fancy for the big 10?

If an AR-15 is what you are looking for then try a Colt CAR with a JP enterprise stock. They are fully adjustable and will give you the proper check weld. If you decide to sell it in the future keep the stock and put the original back on for the sale. The JP stock will fetch a nice price by itself.

Here is a picture of my humble Kimber. It was a pleasure to meet you the other day. We should get together and do some shooting. The more guns that you can shoot before making your major purchase will save you money in the long run. With that said I do not believe that you will ever find the perfect combination of carry, and Target quality handgun. Count on needing at least two and wanting about 15. Later.

I just found the site and I have found it very interesting. I am what people call a 'gun nut'. I love to look at them, shhot them, clean them, and trade them. My favorite rifle is the AR15 platform. I also prefer the 1911 pistol platform. I do have a couple of legally registered Class III items. My e-mail address is jredbryant@yahoo.com
