Re: first time 1911 owner
thanks for all the advice. i think i will try new grips for it. the reason for me practicing at 25 yards is i have always been under the impression that you over shoot at practice what you are willing to shoot in practical application. as for Beretta i am not a fan and Glock didn't seem to be a big ...

Re: 100+ Club

Re: Robbers Fatally Shoot Denny's Employee - New Mexico
Great posts. And agree with the majority here that if you are a lone CHL in a crowded restaurant invaded by multiple bad guys, your best bet is to flee or become as "invisible" as possible until the nightmare ends. One point I haven't seen brought up yet is whether in New Mexico at a Denn...

The 2 Texas addresses are Galves...
