He said with truth, if not helpfulness... ;)

Hosted by the Sons of Norway. Some neat traditional outfits. http://www.adn.com/2010/11/28/1577235/2010-wooden-ski-classic.html

It's old news. It was old news when I worked in the industry in the early '90s. Maintain your weapon and practice fundamental safety and there can't be an issue, statistically it's a non-event.

Sorry for the delay. She checked around and no one in the scene up here (that she knows) knows of anyone down there.

Benelli is finally offering a real magazine tube instead of that fluted, neutered nonsense? :eusa_clap

Mr. Vim, Just texted (electro-telegraphed ;) ) my ex who teaches up here to ask if she knows anyone in the scene or teaching in Juneau. I'll let you know what she says. Matthew

Just poking my head in to say how nice it is to have someone else from Alaska on the Lounge. Not that I've been around much.

A little dark, but this is what my carry battery is down to. Colt Series 70 1911 Colt LW Cmdr Colt Mustang Pocketlite Taurus 85 Titanium Sold the Hi-Power and Smith Mdl. 19. :(

For anyone interested in stock, affordable 1911's (as opposed to the ones being sold with all the bells and whistles by most manufacturers nowadays). RIA has some very nice 1911A1 pattern all-steel .45s and .38 Supers being sold in the $350 range. Heard a lot of good things about them.

Judging from how fast and accurately men like Jerry Miculek (now) and Ed McGivern (then) could fire double action revolvers I'm not surprised at all that a Webley in the hands of a master could set records. The best shooters often note that once they reach a certain level of skill they can...

Colt more or less destroyed their civilian handgun division in the '80s/'90s. They have yet to really decide to reenter the market in any seriousness, last time I checked they were only making 1911's and 1873 Single Action Army revolvers and were inordinately proud of them price-wise. At this...

Good call on checking with a "local" shop. They'll know the ins and outs. IIRC NYC has regulations on all sorts of things firearm related, even air guns and toys, beyond even NY state law. At least for a few more months... Mwa-ha, mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha... ;)

MKL, What sort of leather are you thinking of?

Now we just need to get you in front of a windmill. ;)

Guns aren't illegal in Britain, just (very) heavily regulated. I know a doctor over there who's a trap champion. Definitely harder to get a bunch of friends together to make an intentionally humorous and self-mocking picture though.
