My motorcycle riding buddy recently bought an RIA 1911 in 10mm. The first time out it became obvious that the ambidextrous safety contacted the knuckle of the trigger finger after a couple of shots, putting the gun out of action. I removed the right hand safety and the problem was resolved. It seem...

:oops: The 10mm bug is real. There was an RIA (Armscor) in the gun case at my favorite dealership, secondhand for 175 less than a new one I went there yesterday, determined that if it was still there, I was going to take it home. I currently have a Glock 29 and 20. - Due to their light weight, they ...

Gentlemen, thank you very much for the help !

Folks I have to say i am a bit befuddled at this old military rifle found when cleaning out a relatives house.

I love it dude! ……..the AR’s, rifle, handguns,mags,flashlight, knife…….. As we get older we get wiser, not necessarily smarter, but wiser.

More tinkering around with my overlanding setup --- the shotgun fits in pretty well, although due to a seriously wrecked left shoulder im about to give up on the pumpers and look for a Beretta A300 Patrol model or a 1301 if i can find a deal on one The shotgun has not been used to repel boarders yet...

(But you can buy two Taurus 327s and have money left over for ammo at that price.)

so you can have a spare when the first one stops making loud noises when you pull the trigger ?

Anytime I travel more than about 10 miles I put a 10” Colt M4 with a binary trigger along with a half dozen 30 round P mags in the back seat of the Jeep plus my 38 in my pocket and usually a 1911 in the cup holder.

While it's great to see a new levergun introduced, I don't see it going anywhere without being something really different. Especially for that money. There are a LOT of leverguns out there already.
