Pictures Of Your Daily Carry

[Kevinf2349]

I saw that model in the gun shop the other day. Sweet gun, but they were very proud of it.

I was impressed with the feel of the gun and it is about the best gun I have come across in the .380 caliber...but I just just couldn't see myself paying out that much for a .380. I actually contemplated trading the good lady's Elsie in for it, but she wasn't having any of it.

Got me a new one today! Sig Sauer P238 .380. This is such a sweet little gun. cant wait to shoot it!

Hey, do me a favor when you shoot that P238, and report back. One of the things that have kept me away from it is the fact that the hammer WILL fall from the 1/4 cocked position if the trigger is pressed with the safety ON. I know that in true 1911 style you will probably carry "cocked and locked," but unlike a true 1911 the Sig and it's predecessor, the Colt Mustang, will allow the safety to be On in that position. I do not know if the hammer will fall with enough force to fire the weapon, but it concerned me enough to avoid it until I knew for sure. I'd sure like to know. Thanks

Having been bit by the 1911 bug, I made my first 1911 purchase. I did a lot of research and found a solid 1911 in my price range...the Rock Island 1911. I already purchased a kholster and was wearing it when I went to the gun show in ft worth today (yes, I was that prepared ).

The first mod will be to change the beavertail on it and possibly upgrade the sites....but I do want to get some grim reaper grips for it.

Congrats! I have one just like it and have loved mine so far. Its ate everything I put through it...haven't managed to let the hammer bite me, even with the old style grip safety. Sights do need to be upgraded though.

any advice on locating 1911 parts cheaply? I figure there are places with good supplies. I was checking out a crimson trace and the laser sights are almost as much as the gun!?!?!?!?! I do want to change the sights out (if I dont get the laser) and hope that wont be too hard...as well as the beavertail.

I brought 2 friends with me and now they want 1. That bug just keeps biting people :-)

Join the 1911 Forum. Every question you might have will be answered in spades. Great place to learn and share about JMB's great gun.

Don't take this the wrong way, as everyone has the right to have a gun they like, but those "grim reaper grips" won't win you any "Good Guy" awards from a Grand Jury in the event you actually have to use it, IMHO.

I posted this pic in my "Kirkpatrick Gun Leather" thread, but this S&W M&P 45 recently entered my carry rotation...



I have to say, this pistol carries very well for a full sized .45 ACP pistol. It is not as slim as a 1911, but it is nearly as slim, and the interchangeable palm swells that come with the gun mean that I can make it fit my hand very well — unlike some other double stack .45s. The other thing I like about the M&P is that it is fully ambidextrous (I carry and shoot from the "sinister" side). It has an ambidextrous frame mounted safety, a reversible magazine release button, and an ambidextrous slide release lever. The only thing not ambidextrous on it is the take-down lever on the left side of the frame, but that doesn't really matter to me from the standpoint of carrying and shooting it. I also have a 5" Springfield Loaded which I also carry and like very much (picture below), but it weighs significantly more than the M&P, and the M&P holds 10+1 rounds to the Springfield's 8+1. So as much as I am a 1911 guy to the bone, I have to say that I am happy with the purchase of this M&P and have had no trouble integrating it into my carry routine.

We seem to have a few excellent photographers as members of the forum. In another thread someone was posting some truly awesome pictures of their hunting hound.

I hear that, what do you shoot with? I'm just going to leave that as ambiguous as it sounds. I just got a Canon Rebel T1i but haven't given my guns a proper shooting themselves.
