I'm waiting on nervous alert.

I got the US model 1916 holster ,belt and 2 magazine pouch I ordered from AMAZON. It is made of very good leather, was just a bit stiff but some good leather dressing fixed that. The picture don't do the color justice. It is more of a Brown shoe color. The belt is one size fits all, up to a 54 inch waist. It fits the standard Govt. model 1911 45 automatic perfectly and the mag pouches fit the standard Colt 7 round mags without extensions. I am well pleased, had to modify the flap hold down hole just a bit.

Well More time to accelerate would also increase the locktime. The energy and acceleration more than likely is a factor of the hammer spring's ability to quickly expend the stored energy. If a heavier hammer would do the trick, why skeletonize the hammer on the 1911 .45? I will have to stick to Bill Geissle as to how to build a trigger unit and David Tubb on how to build a winning target rifle. Like my old Daddy said , "If you get away from Camel cigarettes , Tinsley chewing tobacco, and Folgers Coffee you are just fartting against the wind"

Number one reason for the United States of America to get out of the U.N. OUT!..... Hey U.S. haters, so called Peacekeepers, Etc.,Etc. "Take your toys and your ideas of World Order Social Equality B.S. ..climate change BS and your sorry asses OUT -> -> -> and across the Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans"... Leave us be!....Adios!!! Turn the UN buildings and property in New York into a National Museum Named "Our Foolish Mistaken Notions of the 20th Century"

...and they are really amongst us!....CNBC Comedy Nutcases Beware Citizens!

We had several available, for when we needed to set off several detonators wired in series with long wires 300'. They were good for smooth DC power supplies and quieter than a generator. They are around 62 Volts DC, if my memory is right.

I think new technologies are great, Polymers, carbon composite, computer generated 3D printing and imaging and the laser target acquisition are just a few. Us old codgers appreciate the great work of folks like Jacob and Samuel Hawken , Christian Sharps, John Browning, Sam Colt, S&W, Winchester, David Marshall 'Marsh' Williams, Bill Ruger and Garand should be preserved.

My wife and I resurrected a 4H shooting club in the Texas panhandle and applied for the first NRA instructors school at the NRA Whittington ranch at Raton NM in 1977 for a nominal fee of only $50 each. We made it a family vacation for two weeks, camping in our R.V. and in our off time we explored this wonderful facility in our 1962 IH Scout. It was a blast. I doubt that I would ever again have such an opportunity. We also got to attend the Gunsmith School in Trinidad College in Trinidad Colorado. So you are also a BP muzzleloader shooter, great. I built and shot a .50 Hawken style rifle as part of my gunsmith training. It has been in the gun safe for 30 years except for an annual cleaning

Is that a Mattel or Hasbro Lower?

If neither of these special tools will work use several feet of 100 grain PETN or RDX Det cord and an E-87 with extra long wires and a couple of B batteries in series to test the durability of the apparatus, most generally the test results will be 100% non-durable. Oh, and either keep your safety hat on tight or be ready to fast crawl under a bulldozer!

Another open carry holster for my 1911 Govt. Model. I may have to retire my 18 year old PagerPal with cell phone mod.....

I have been a firearms instructor (NRA Rifle, pistol, shotgun, hunter safetry) but didn't want all the crapola that went with being a CHL instructor. I was a student in the first class held in West Texas. I shot fairly well using a borrowed .45 Govt. Model. The instructor asked if I wanted to list my shooting score or just list as "passed" because if a court case came up concerning my shooting skills, it is hard to defend a lethal shot when the defense says that with your "Expert" shooting skill you could have shot to wound rather than to kill. Besides the less information you have to provide any branch of government is better. I learned that in the USMC, never admit that you can ride a stick horse, tricycle, bicycle or a car or a truck they will make you a company runner or a wheelbarrow operator.

The old land owner warned us about the monkeys and loaned us a Marlin .22 rifle to shoot any we saw. He said some Fed health bunch on adjacent property was raising them and when Reagan defunded the project they abandoned the property and some of the monkeys escaped. It took several years of trapping and shooting to eradiccate the nasty creatures.

Our company had a place leased for fishing and drinking on the Rio Grande down south of Sanderson Texas We called it the monkey farm because there was a colony of those escaped monkeys there.

Some Texas exotic animal rancher imported some for his ranch and of course they migrated. A wildlife researcher saw this one while taking a wildlife survey and filmed it from a chopper.

Any of you South Texas Hog-shooters ever seen one of these in the wild?

Same here, maybe there is an occasion when just showing a peek won't get you busted for failure to conceal. Yes sir officer, here is my card in my offside ass national bank.

Not a problem GRA I had heard that term somewhere "out of the area" before. That CDNN outfit is in Abilene Texas and sometimes have good prices on stuff. Oftentimes better than CTD or Amazon.

projo = projectile = bullets.

Only occasionally did we have time to use the canned heat to have hot coffee or hot chow, after I went to artillery at 29 Palms we would sometimes have hot chow, via a field kitchen. I think the food service bunch used us for a training exercise.

GRA, man I am glad I joined the Marines and got to take long walks in the boonies, carry a pack, sleep outdoors and take a crap in the woods and run up and down hills. I was assigned my very own US rifle 30 cal M1 and a bayonet. We were even taught how to take it apart and put it together in the dark and got to go shoot at the rifle range several times a year. Once I even got to sleep with it in my bunk! We even got to eat C-rations and drink coffee out of a metal cup that blistered my lips once. Every day was a holiday and every meal was a banquet!...AJ Squared away, work hard every day... I love the Marine Corps!

I wish I could share some of our excess water with California. I think our politicians would better serve by odd-man-out for office rather than spending jillions getting elected and work on generating enough electric power to build a water transport system cross and stem to stern of the lower 48. Forget the priority of working on "Climate Change" that is way above BHO's and Hillery' pay grade.

Welcome from COMANCHE County where we have full lakes and ponds and wide flowing rivers for the first time in several years.

I started shooting a single action .22 LR Colt Frontier Scout wasn't a good shot for awhile, but practiced every afternoon after highschool. I shot 50 rounds every day tin cans fence posts rabbits. I got pretty good. Could hit a running rat half the time. This was the only handgun I owned until after college til boot camp, and as a MT driver and I wore the service 1911 45. I wasn't good until I started practicing every chance I got then I bought my own Colt Govt model thia allowed more practice. I figure you need to commit to a pistol or revolver. Then get one at least 40 cal. Or better, unless you are a sneaky assassin, or a rat exterminator.
