Firearm BS thread

We still have those at my Dept. With the led upgrade put in. They work fine and have held up forever which is why they haven’t been replaced, functional easy to use and durable. The only complaint is they are bulky.

 

Looking at getting a Colt 1911. What’s the best one to get for the money? Thinking Delta Elite but open to other models.

 

Not comparing directly but Sportsman’s WH has Springfield Mil Specs on sale 9/13 for $689.
That is about ½ a Delta Elite and a sweet shooter (trigger a bit heavy and likely want to go ambi safety)

 

That is a good deal, but it has to be a Colt. Going to be having a boy in December and going to name him Colt. Getting a present for myself now and for his 1st birthday we will get him a 1911 as well. Don’t worry not going to let him shoot it at the age of 1.

 

Why not?

Seems ageist to me!

 

Scratch my stupid idea of the 1911’s. Any good matching set revolvers out there for around $2k? My buddy just showed me these and got me thinking.

 

Hmmmm


Get the 1911's

 

A little off topic but....

 

Consider this! He won't be able to shoot (likely) anything over a .22 until about 10-12 years old. This is just an idea in keeping with your Colt. These are .22 Mag, not mine, this pair was listed at $1500.00.

 

One of these is not like the other.



Factory sealed box.
Never encountered this before.

 

Do you own a .380?

 

Yes.
More curious as too how many more
(if any) will be found in my supply.

 

I have never seen a mix up like that. I have bought winchester white box 100 ct and come up short a round every now and then. But NOT different calibers. It being in the middle of the box makes you wonder what happened.

 

Who knows.

 

M45 Clone is what you want then. It will be a more modernized 1911 for you. If it’s worth the cost anyways. Colt is not the one making the best 1911s anymore and i would consider 1911s today to be a advanced gun fighters pistol. Reason being, there’s more rules to running it, like riding the safety, and a locked and cocked carry. But that’s none of my business.

 

Ive actually had the same thing happen and i don't own a 380 or any ammo for one so i know it came from the factory like that. Im not sure how dangerous it is if you actually fired it accidentally though.

 

Depends on the gun and it’s pressure ratings. I supposed if it was a .380 that could handle +p then you might get away with it.
Logic would have it if you fire a 9mm in a .380 enough times you potential for catastrophic failure would increase. The 9mm can have 10,000 more PSI then a 380 varying in ammo brand and type
