Re: 1911 Shooters Thumb on/off Safety

I'm with you. Way back when I started shooting 1911s with the "modern" extended thumb safety tab, I managed to engage the thumb safety a few times while firing. (Don't recall having that problem with the abbreviated safety, but that would have been too many years ago to remember.) Since pu...

Re: Tracey Mann, KS introduces the RIFLE act to counter Biden's 13,344.33% increase in FFL revocations

My neighbor, who has been my FFL for 20+ years, got screwed by the ATF. Three minor paperwork errors over the space of 17 years (none of which resulted in a prohibited person acquiring a firearm) suddenly became "a pattern" and the ATF demanded that he surrender his license. He did not &qu...

Re: President Trump signs EO to protect gun ownership

Good, maybe I can get back my FRT.
Judge already said so, but until it happens, I'm not believing it.

Start a new thread.
This is the holster sub-forum, and the thread is about which holsters for a 1911.

Re: Grapevine - Gun Range

Let me retract Bass Pro. Their range was down for almost six months awaiting complete replacement of the air circulation system. Finally got that done, should be good to go for a while, right? Wrong. They were open for a month or so, the recirc fan went out. It has now been down for about two months...

Re: 1911 Gunsmith in the DFW

I met Andrew McFarlane (ADM Firearms, Southlake) when he worked at Bass Pro a number of years back (back when they had a gunsmithing shop downstairs from the range). He opened his own place around 2015. I have not seen him in years, but when he was at Bass Pro he was knowledgeable, polite and a plea...

Re: Poland makes firearms training mandatory for schoolchildren

Kids seem to have a pretty realistic perspective. Perhaps we should trust their judgement more than their "eductators", at least those in the US. In these last ten years, when I have (from time to time) had real doubts about the future of our country, Poland, Czech Republic and a few other...

Re: The Dr. Fauci Coronavirus?

I have been reading a book titled "The Real Anthony Fauci" by RFK Jr. Written several years ago, heavily cross-referenced and foot-noted. When I say this, I mean that I could probably spend the rest of my life reading all of the material that is referenced in this book. An eye-opener, to s...

CLOSE, PLEASE Anyone shoot or reload .25acp?

If so, I have a favor to ask. If you have between two and four empty cases you could spare, I have a use for them. I have "squib rods" for .44/45 and 9mm/.38. Now I want to make one (or two) for my .32s. I will pay for postage to my home address. Please post here or pm me if you can help. ...

Hodgdon Trail Boss powder for sale or trade--Lewisville

I received this as part of a package deal. Never used any of it; I have other powders for the chamberings I load for. The bottle has been opened and approx 2 oz was used (from the original 9 oz weight). These days, a full 9 oz bottle goes between $95 and $125 (check GunBroker sold items). I am askin...

Re: Some peoples reloading math is retarded

I have never heard any reloader claim they could reload for infinity. Same here, so I don't understand the premise of the post. I had a friend who got me interested in handloading because he did it, and I saw that it wasn't difficult. I actually started picking up my brass and buying the occasional...
