    Congrats on the new revolver. The video was interesting.

    What are you carrying today?

    I’m a big fan of the Walther PPK S-1 and the Ruger LCP. I just got back from picking up some fishing tackle at Wal Mart and a few groceries at Publix. I usually pack a Primary Carry and BUG. During the fall and winter months I go up in caliber. You can't go wrong with a good knife.

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I like it too but.... so far finding magazines for it has been a no go.

    New targets up finally

    Not bad. Creates a momentary thought or two about why I moved out of the country into suburbia.

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I disassembled and cleaned the Colt Walther this evening. The instructions could have been a bit clearer and the classic instructions “To assemble, reverse the steps.” always leaves out some of the “fun” stuff and a few of the little extra things to know that make it easier. Back in the old...

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    It was rather hard to find a holster locally and due to the weight a conventional rig wasn't going to hack it. I got in touch with J.R. Roscoe in Ft. Worth and the cooked this one up for me based on measurements. The cant is perfect, under the shoulder. The rough looking bottom part was a...

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    Nice looking shoulder holster. This one is has a 2.5 in barrel. I've always been a fan of Redhawks and Blackhawks but held off until I ran into one suited for concealed carry.

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I'm a big fan of shoulder holsters. Especially during the fall and winter months. I'll stick a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 Mag, revolver under the left arm, sitting in a Roscoe Holster I had made in Ft. Worth. That's some real heavy metal.

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I'd been keeping my eye out for one. Palmetto State Armory had one earlier in the year that I missed. The Sportsman's Warehouse lays in the Colt Government, Colt Rail Gun and the Colt Gold Cup. I loved the classic look of the Government Model, so that was it. She's definitely not going to be a...

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I have that "Deja Vu" feeling back in November before the last Presidential Election. After the last ammo drought I stocked up, just in case. Since then I've snagged a few boxes to replace anything shot up during range trips. Making the rounds today I've noticed the shelves are again bare. Such...

    Colt Government Model 1911 A1 cal. .22 LR (Walther)

    I was out making the rounds today. Sportsman’s Warehouse had a Colt Government Model 1911 A1 Cal 22LR. on hand. I own a stack of 22 revolvers and pistols but this one I’d been hearing and reading about so it was on my “List”. I’ve read reports that it capable of doing groups under 1.5” at 25...

    Great video. He gave it a work out. He also knows his stuff, he loaded 5 rounds and used a hold under. I've been keeping my eye out for one of those old gals for sometime. Who knows?

    Ruger got it right with the Vaquero by adding those classic bird hand grips. I have one of Colt M1877s, in .44 Caliber. They're know as a Thunderer. Those old 45's are something to see, with a look of their own, but with loads of modern innovations that would have had those old Gunslingers...

    "More guns equal more gun deaths"

    Interesting response.

    Cleaned a couple of black rifles tonight.

    I've looked at them. But wasn't impressed despite that great look. I've got plenty of more conventional stuff for a whole lot less bucks (Except the AR and all additional costs in upgrades) that couple probably shoot rings around the thing. Thanks for the range report.
