    The State of Washington says no to gun control bill

    WA State is divided E/W by the Cascade Mountains into majority Conservative, pro-gun and majority Liberal, anti-gun populations, respectively. This was pretty much a party line issue. What is it about proximity to salt water that causes liberal brain rot?

    Ok, finally a pocket gun trainer!!!!!!!!!!

    Are there after-market triggers and red dot sights and lasers and can you Cerakote them and how about extended magazines and and and? Sorry, I'm headed back to the twelve step program. There went the 20 minute coin. ;D

    Either electronic or canine will do.

    Pistol rack - another option

    Ray- You are, unfortunately, correct. A saw, a drill and me in the same room would be classed by some as a weapon of mass destruction (my wife for instance)... ::)

    Pistol rack - another option

    Lacking RICHGCOOP's skills in the workshop, I've been looking for a rack that would work in the safe to hold my handguns. Ran across this $13 bamboo plate rack on Amazon that works quite well...

    LCP carry - Don't even notice it's there...

    Confession time- Can't carry at work since I work in several hospitals, so when I get home I change clothes and Elsie comes out of the safe and goes in my back pocket (Bear Creek holster). Friday, after a brutal week, went through my usual routine and the wife and I went out for dinner. We...

    9mm Laser for 9MM

    I was fortunate to win the Forum Raffle 2nd prize of the Crimson Trace Railmaster CMR201 and put it on my XD 9 Subcompact. It works extremely well - easily adjusted, holds zero, very bright. It may require a different holster to fit but made no difference for my Mika holster. Adjusting to using...

    Super Bowl

    Sorry - just being a smart alec. Actually I went to the range while everyone was watching the game. Nobody there - had the place to myself and shot my 1911 and 22/45. Good times!!

    I removed my Magguts system from my LCP yesterday

    I've had the Magguts system in my LCP for a few months, carry it every day, and have not had any movement of the rounds at all - back pocket, Bear Creek Holster. Last shot it 3 weeks ago; same magazine in LCP continuously since. Just checked it and the rounds are all firmly in place against the...

    Ruger SR1911 Commander

    Ya know - I see what you mean. It looks great and I think I need one too. I'm sure the wife won't mind. Hey, my other 1911 is almost a week old. Time for a new one.

    Great - now we can both blame my son-in-law.

    Pistol rack

    Very nice - good idea. What is the spacing between dowels? Looks like maybe 3" or so.

    It followed me home

    OK, I couldn't wait until the weekend so I took a couple hours off work this afternoon. This is a very sweet shooting 1911. Sent 100 rounds of 230 grain FMJ downrange at 10 yards, off hand (yeah, I know, 10 yards - I'm a wimp). No problems at all. The very first round was dead center in the...

    Ruger SR1911 Commander

    I'm sure it's based on alien technology.

    It followed me home

    Looking forward to it! This weekend for sure. Took it apart and cleaned out the shipping goo, lightly lubed, and it is ready to go. I shot my dad's WWII Colt 1911 quite a bit when I was 12-13, but then he traded it for a rifle and I didn't shoot a 1911 untill last week when my son-in-law and I...

    New gun for 2013

    I think my 1911 that came home today counts for 2013... (see 45 ACP thread). At least my wife thinks so!

    It followed me home

    Not sure how it happened. I was just standing at the counter looking at 1911s when suddenly I found I was filling out paperwork and then this Springfield Range Officer was riding home with me... Last week I was shooting my son-in-law's Rock Island 1911 and liked it. Now this. Help. :o
