Yep. That is what we have always used on my uncles property and never had a problem. It might be a little less than ideal but it worked great for us.

If this is primarily a snake gun, I don't see why a .22 wouldnt work. Grab a Ruger Mark series for around 200 and it would work great. If you want something with a little more umphh behind it than a .22, then you probably need to up your budget a little.

Im surprised that the idiots running the state havent figured a way to spin this so that they can pass more anti-gun legislation.

Cedar Rapids is the closest large sort facility to Moline. Moline is basically in Iowa anyways as its right on the border.

Which backstrap works for you? I held a couple with the medium backstrap and it just didnt fit me. I need to check one out with the small backstrap but I havent found a shop willing to let me try yet.

The M9 and 1911 are worlds apart in feel but my M9 is one of the nicest guns I have ever shot. I am addicted to that gun. That being said, my new 1911 is my choice for carry.

SA is my choice by far. SA has nearly unbeatable customer services, great prices and great products.

I might do that down the road but I just want to get a couple of things done and I will be happy. Trigger job, install new trigger, carry bevel and maybe a refinish. Those come out a lot cheaper and will work for me until I can afford to drop that kinda dough on mods.

Congrats! And for the record, I am also an ordained minister but the guy that I did it for got married in arkansas so I am only on the books in Arkansas. Not hard to get on the books in TN if anyone ever needs my services.

At only 10 bucks, I might order several different colors!

You are going to be pleased. I just picked up a 1911 Loaded that I plan to send off soon.

Im really bummed out. I just checked the site and none of the new stuff is available yet. They have several new products that will be heading to my house soon.

Ordering my iphone case ASAP!

Jeff, if you find an attorney to help you with that, please let us know. I am considering a trust with someone else and we were probably going to start working on things later this year.

SCAR-Heavy kicks the ACR's butt. The ACR has an incredible rate of fire and is very accurate and controllable but is weak. It take 5 shots or more to kill someone. SCAR-Heavy takes one shot up close and two shots from across the map and you are dead. I love my SCAR. As for the real ACR, I am very very very interested in the pricing!

I like that little compact. Where might one find one and how much do they run?

Range USA will have better prices than anyone else in town but you will have to wait for it to get here. Arms Fair has the cheapest transfer rates in town.

I would look for a used Ruger Standard/MKI/II/III for her. 200 bucks will buy one in great shape and other than being a pain to field strip the first time, they are fantastic little weapons. I have a Standard model and it shoots great and is what I use to teach people how to shoot. You can also pick up the Beretta NEOS for around 250 used and I have heard good things about those as well.

Thanks for the heads up on the cylinder. I plan to get one. Here is a pic.

You people are lucky. All she would tell me was that I completed everything and to wait 90 days.

I fully intend to buy at least one more. I might get another 92 and then get a 96 to accompany it. Ive heard people say bad things about the 92 but I think it is an absolute joy to shoot. Cant wait to get one for EDC and range time.

Great choice. I am on my third XD (early in my gun life, I sold things quickly) and I regret getting rid of my first two. Some fantastic pistols and you can't go wrong with them. And since Oh Shoot mentioned it, I have never understood people arguing against the grip safety. If you hold the gun properly, you don't even notice that the safety is there.

I wish I had some NV goggles so that I could see what my Aimpoint M2 looked like with it. Cool post. Thanks for sharing.

So after checking around, it isnt that expensive to have SA refinish a gun to OD green. I may just buy a milspec and send it back to them to have it refinished after I get bored with the standard parkerized finish.

This excites me. I completed my fingerprinting on December 17th. I just emailed Ms. Knight and am hoping to hear back from her sometime today. Maybe mine is already approved as well. EDIT: Heard back from her and all I got was you have submitted everything and please allow 90 days.
