Re: The experts all say shoot a .22

I can shoot my .22's in my basement range at the target box I build years ago. I live in a neighborhood where the yards are only 1/2 an acre, so pretty closer (closer than I'd like, anyway). But the .22 is fine, especially if it is suppressed or I use Aquila Colibri or Super Colibri rounds. Y2K chal...

Re: Inexpensive plates that I’m really liking

I was really bad when I was growing up. My favorite reactive target then, and now, was/is glass bottles. Very satisfying to see them explode. Not exactly environmentally safe. The old fence posts by the railroad tracks where we would shoot ended up with piles of broken glass knee deep around each! :D

The M18/320 thing is unfortunate but it doesn't change the fact Sig has consistently produced top-tier guns like the P210, P22X DA/SA pistols and the 556 Series rifles. All have well earned reputations for 99+ percent reliability and I wouldn't hesitate a second to buy one. I've got a P226 40 that ...

Re: Opinions on Officers Model 1911s??

The only Officer-size 1911 I've ever owned was a Para-Ordnance P12.45. Same barrel length, but a wide-body (double stack) .45 ACP holding 12 rounds in a standard magazine. Mine was made in Canada, and a very reliable one. I've qualified with it several times. I can't speak to the genuine Colts though.
