Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
Every thread that turns into something similar to this always starts with you. Your attitude and unwanted opinions to questions that don't get asked is annoying. You talk about resorting to insults, but look back at this thread and numerous others and you will see that you are the one who...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
Similar to many forum threads, it always gets turned upside down and turns into an argument as soon as Cobracutter gets involved. Look back to the original question... it never asked for an opinion on what type of firearm to carry. I have a feeling some threads would be much more civil if you at...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
Summy, the maintenance aspect of 1911 is not a big deal if you are a casual shooter. In my personal experience of a few thousand rounds through my 1911, all I have done to keep it reliable is switch out the recoil spring every 1200-1500 rounds, and keep it properly lubricated. Also, good...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
I have read a few stories of SEALS ditching their issued sidearm and instead using a 1911. A notable one comes from Chris Kyle's autobiography where he mentions just this.- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
I am not a fan of a manual safety on many handguns other than a 1911. With proper training, accidently engaging the safety on a 1911 should never be an issue. When drawing a 1911 from a holster your thumb should automatically be on the safety, and as you come up on target safety should be...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
As a person who loves the 1911, I too agree that there are better options for concealed carry, but a 1911 is certainly not a bad choice and it really just comes down to personal preference. Today the 1911 is definitely not an obsolete service or self defense pistol. There are many military...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
I believe you will find the 3:00-4:00 position most comfortable for all around carry. There is much to learn when it comes to ccw, and I think personal experience is the best way to learn what works for you. With that said, I am happy to give you any advise or my unbiased opinion on anything ccw...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry
I agree with Asperly. However everyone is different, and not knowing your body type or daily routine where you would carry, I cannot necessarily say what the best way for you to carry would be. I will say that the majority of right handers who carry IWB (myself included) carry around the...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns My new ZEV G24
Agree! If I were you I would be dying to see how it feels and performs, even with just some decent factory ammo. Plus if you do put it on a rest to see how it does with factory load accuracy, you can have a baseline to compare to when you get your handloads ready. Regardless, let us know how you...- Metal Gear

Anyone have a Century C39 AK?? American made
Your attitude on this forum is quite comical. I honestly feel bad for any friends you questionably may have. I would profile you as the type of person who doesn't do too well with interpersonal communication, and therefore has a hard time making or keeping any friends, so you come to a forum...- Metal Gear

I don't have the time to scavenge through your posts and validate all the inaccuracies, but most recently in a discussion towards Glock's you through out some information that was false and I took the time in correcting it.

Anyone have a Century C39 AK?? American made
I have been here long enough to see that some of the things you say in posts are completely false and unvalidated, so before you start throwing out the word credibility, you should look into some of the false "facts" you have written. You seem like a knowledgable person in certain aspects, but...- Metal Gear

Anyone have a Century C39 AK?? American made
I do not own one, but have shot the C39. It Seemed to perform pretty well. Did not have a smooth action, but functioned reliably for me, and the guy at the range with me who owned it. I have heard a couple stories on the web of them having issues with reliability, but who knows. The biggest...- Metal Gear

Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.
A safety is just a mechanical device on a firearm that CAN fail. You should NEVER rely on a safety. The biggest and only real safety on any firearm is your finger. Firearms don't just go off on themselves, you should ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until coming up on target and ready to...- Metal Gear

.22 LR ammo is back to normal
It is starting to show up in places more frequently here in Ohio, but still nothing like it was before 2012. When it does show up in stores it is usually sold out in hours or at most a few days. The prices in stores here are sometime pretty close to how they used to be, just a few dollars more...- Metal Gear
