Will Carry

You will need to drop a grand to get this pistol. When I get to shoot it I will post the results.

They are made right here in the good old USA. Kennesaw Georgia. They are hand fit by one gunsmith. It is tight! No rattles. 3.5 lb trigger. I haven't shot it yet.

This isn't funny but it is ironic

I went nuts on lasers when they first started coming out. Now I only keep a laser on my bedside pistol. The reason I stopped using them is that in daylight they are hard to see and I don't want to be looking for the red dot as the bad guy fires on me. A green laser is easier to see in daylight. If I had a choice, it would be green. I still have three Crimson Trace lasers, at night they are a formidable asset.

I don't own any guns, but I am thinking about buying one.

That's a hungry beast! Amazing! Thaks for posting.

Below is the first reply I made. I miss read the OP. Sorry. My advice on a first handgun would be a 9mm. Smith and Wesson M&P, comes to mind. "My recommendation would be to immerse yourself in gun safety by reading, watching quality videos and getting some one-on-one training. You can get some really good safety instruction from the fine people on this forum. You will need to continue to learn and relearn safety, at least that is the way I have to do it. "

I like to keep my sidearm at 3 o'clock, whether IWB or OWB. That way I always know where it is.

The Green River Narrows in Western North Carolina was once the Mecca for extreme whitewater paddling. The Narrows of the green is the location of the annual Green Race. The most extreme kayaking race in the world. This video is the first descent after the destructive power of the flood that changed the river forever. This came out yesterday. The first video is the winning run of the 2022 Green Race to show what the river looked like before the flood. The second video of film a few days ago after the flood. Even though I have been whitewater kayaking since 1977, I have never run the Narrows of the Green River. I had a wife and kids to think about. BEFORE:

"Like a brick through a plate glass window!" I love those pistols.

My father was a country doctor in rural Georgia back in the 50s-60s. He made house calls and often the people had no money. He would bring home chickens, Moonshine, old furniture and such. One farmer gave dad a Perkins percussion cap, double barreled muzzle loading shotgun. Made in England. Oh wait! you said Parker...........never mind.

How can I call myself an American, if I am afraid to utilize the rights that my forefathers fought and died for. If we cower from bullies, we will soon be ruled by bullies. A Piggly Wiggly on Thursday afternoon is not an ATM, late at night, in a bad neighborhood. Chuck, I will fight for your right to support whatever you want. I thank you for your response and for talking to me straight, an admirable quality.

I have this t-shirt that has an Israeli flag on it and says, "Proud to support Israel." My church has had a long relationship with a synagogue in town. I was wearing this shirt yesterday when my wife and I went to the grocery store. I had 4 people in the store walk up to me and thank me for wearing the shirt. One lady and I talked for a while about what this country has become. Then this man walks by pushing a cart and says, "You know you are supporting baby killers, don't you?" The snarky look on his face, the fact that this was happening in a Piggly Wiggly, one of the last bastions of rural American culture, I snapped back, "Hammas are the baby killers, hiding behind women and children like cowards." I guess he wasn't expecting this, not being from the South and all. He went on a mad tirade about the history of the middle east and how much he hated the Jews. Then he walked up into my face, with is chest all bowed out. He didn't seem to notice when I dropped my right foot back a little. He probably didn't know I was thinking about the best way to take him down if he touched me. Then he finished by saying "You shouldn't be wearing that shirt!" My response was calm and subdued, "I will wear whatever shirt I want to and you can kiss my LARGEMOUTH BASS!" He decided to walk away suddenly, and I turned around and saw the security guard walking down the aisle. I said, "There is something wrong with that guy, I think he's on drugs, you might want to go talk to him." Which he did. Thus ended the confrontation. Some may say that I was asking for trouble, wearing a shirt like that. Maybe I should have turned the other cheek. I didn't want to hurt the guy, but I will make my stand to live and die a free man, as long as my wife approves.

The blueing on the Taurus 1911 was terribly flawed. I think that salesman put those two 1911s together on purpose.

I went to the gun show many years ago to buy a Taurus 1911, when they first came out. I found the Taurus 1911 next to this Colt series 80. The Taurus was a POS so I got the Colt. I saw no reason to buy another since this one works 100%. Now I want a Rock Island! I paid $600 and some change for it.
