Thanks for all the replies... I don't plan to carry the .45 its to heavy!!! I have an LCP in my pocket at all times. I just enjoy shooting the .45 after more than ten years of competition. Don't have the strength in my hands to manage the Israeli draw. The Range Officer will not be a safe Queen thou...

I have a question.

I have been shooting for more years than I like to admit! My favorite weapon is the 1911 .45 and I have owned a number of them. In recent years I have noticed something that disturbs me and I am wondering if it bothers anyone else or if I'm just a silly old man. I have noticed that a large percentag...

I had much the same problem with "old age vision" and was fitted with trifocals. They helped but there were still areas that things would be out of focus unless I moved closer. My Dr. finally fitted me with progressive lenses which are basically a prism down the middle of the lens which allows you t...

I did my competitionion shooting in the 1960's and there wasn't much available but custom made "milspecs" During that time I did a considerable amount of match conditioning, learning a lot at the N...

I scored a pair of muffs from a Navy jet mechanic back in the early 60's (not that I'm really that old) and have used them ever since... Work good- - - last long time :P

Just as I suspected, I received the cc in the mail today. . . No activation required...When I called to cancel the card I was told it would appear on my credit report. I tried to explain that I had not wanted the card under the circumstances and that made no difference. They were very generous to of...

You know, I never thought of that. I don't know that I want to blow through ammo that fast either. I bought the .22 to save $ over shooting my .380, but blowing them that quickly isn't necessarily a good thing. Got one - - - use it often on my 22/45 Hunter MK III and except that I go thru the ammo ...

Cabela's running a Scam?????

Was at Cabela's Web Site last night and was ordering some ammunition. There was a deal offered that if I signed up for a Visa CC I could get instant approval and $15 credit on my order. I spent 30 minutes or more filling out the application and submitted it... I received a notice that there was a pr...
