Re: Question about CHL Badge

I'd never seen one before (in person) and it looked to be a real labor just to pull it out from his wallet. Plus add to that, if there comes a time that I have to use my weapon, I don't think reaching for a badge is going to be one of my first priorities. However, he is a friend and while I think he...

Failor to Feed Problem - Advice please

I own two XD .45's . One is a XD .45 service 4" and the other is an XD .45 Tactical 5". I was shooting federal ball ammo out of my service pistol and it began giving me Failor To Feed problems. The new round would be almost at a twelve oclock position within the chamber after the extractio...

Re: .45 Auto vs ACP

just to clear it up ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol 45 Auto is the same and yes 45 Colt is different Maybe someone can detail the History on this. I thought the 45 ACP round was developed before the 1911 pistol. Did Colt develop the 45 ACP ammunition? Or was that someone else? I guess I had th...

Re: 51st State - hmmmm

I don't know how long this bill has been on the table - however I think it's funny that it happens during a time when we have Republicans on the bad side of the Hispanic vote (imo) and a real chance to change the look of Congress this fall. Would a 51st State change the picture this fall?

Re: Daughter shot me - ricochet

I'm heading out to the "Astro" range heading toward Austin tomorrow with the wife. If they let me I'll try and take some pics of it and let you guys know what I think of it. It's a fairly new range, so I'm hoping that it's a nice area to shoot. Just me and the wife tomorrow, so wish me luc...
