Pretty sexy, Duce. You just can't beat the looks of a dolled up 1911.

It all comes down to a simple blanket statement. It depends. You may open carry all day, every day, and never have an issue. Or, you may push a gaggle of bedwetters into a huge hissy fit. Displaying your gun may be a major deterrent to a threat, or it may not.   No doubt that open carry is a lot more comfortable (to you) and convenient. The potential outcomes are just part of the choice. If you want odds, there are plenty of threads out there. The hissy fits are real and fairly frequent. Examples of tactical disadvantage... not so much. The most common threat is an anti-gun douchebag.

This ammo paranoia just doesn't make sense. It reminds me of the Libtard paranoia when they found that the Aurora shooter had thousands of rounds of .223 stockpiled. Our retarded friends didn't bother to ask themseves how many rounds he actually discharged, or how many more he could have discharged before the cops turned him into a human rattle. All he needed was one trip to Walmart.   I'm certainly not worried about them loading up on pistol ammo. If I was going to do an all out attack on civilians, it would be with full auto rifles.

Their EAS setup sucks. Viewers have even notified the governor's office about it. Mine went to CSPAN, but it was OK after a few minutes

  You beat me to it. I was gonna say kitchen match :)

  They seem to be playing the press pretty well. Definately have the right attitude.

  It will just scatter them like roaches. Look to the fat Korean kid for the real answer :)

Unless there is a federal mandate, like 94, the manufacturers aren't going to stamp new mags. Stupid law, written by stupid people.

  My money says they'll start signing contracts the day the douchebag governer signs the bill.

  My .458 upper took forever, and it look's like Rightwinger's gonna be in a nursing home before he get's his .308 :)

  and wait... and wait... and wait...............and wait :).

Magazines manufactured in Colorado? I guess the Demwit legislators didn't read Magpul's press releases.

Yep. DPMS rifles always seem to work. I put all my AR's together. Since it's the IBM PC of rifles, you can build one with a wide range of quality. I had great luck with an RRA upper, except for their stupid lead time. All of my rifles run really well. Some have some cheap parts, and some have great parts. I trust the MPI tested BCG's more than the cheap ones, even though they all work. If I ever have to rely on one, it will be the one that has the high end perts.

I have always liked the beavertail on the Magpul grips. Looks like Hogue came out with one of those recently...   http://www.hoguestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=8069

The TGO site has been screaming fast for awhile now. All of a sudden, I'm seeing some significant lag time when I submit a post. Is tapatalk dinkin' up the works again?   I know they were supposed to have fixed it, but feel like there's something clogging the pipe.

  Yep, I'm a fan. I have a couple of the MOE grips too, and like them just fine. But, the Hogue is downright cushy.

  The SAME as New York. The recent display of high stupid shit by the politicians was funded by Bloomberg.

The light frame Springfields are great. I've had a stainless Springfield loaded on my list for a long time. May not ever get to it. I'm mostly a rifle guy, and don't get around to shooting the pistols I already own. I like 1911's, but also don't see myself dropping 3-5 grand on one.

Looks like you "done good". I notice you're using the Hogue grip. I'm a fan of the MOE grip, but I love the Hogue. I have 3 of them.

  Reckon so, Mr. Criminal :)

  If it's not federal, you won't see any stamps on the product. I'm seriously about done with these grabbers. Remeber when kissing lady parts was illegal? Stupid laws get a stupid response.   BTW... they got plenty of weed into that state when it was illegal. It had enough fan base to win an election. Lots of shooters in Colorado.

  Even thought prices are high, and/or the wait is long, the best is still the best. No short term situation is gonna make DPMS a top line rifle.

  Nothing wrong with crack if you don't have to show up for work :)

  I gotta figure that one out. Do you HAVE to take the Prius, though?
