Weekend Gun Thread
Cognitive bias and the gun debate.
I teach a course at my Canadian university on the Psychology of Thinking and in this course, we discuss topics like concept formation, decision making, and reasoning. Many of these topics lend themselves naturally to the discussion of current topics and in one class last year, after a recent mass shooting in the US, I posed the following question: “How many of you think that the US is a dangerous place to visit?”There isn't room for debate let alone discussion when every gun is an "assault weapon".
About 80% of the students raised their hands. This is surprising to me because although I live and work in Canada and I’m a Canadian citizen, I grew up in the US; my family still lives there and I still think it’s a reasonably safe place to visit. Most students justified their answer by referring to school shootings, gun violence, and problems with American police. Importantly, none of these students had ever actually encountered violence in the US. They were thinking about it because it has been in the news. That were making a judgment on the basis of the available evidence about the likelihood of violence.
There is, of course, only one answer to that gut-wrenching question. Yet, Everytown, Moms Demand Action, and the students of MSD have chosen to trumpet the mythical panacea of banning high-capacity firearms, instead of confronting what is readily apparent: A gun — any gun — used to kill or injure someone is, for all intents and purposes, an assault weapon. Make no mistake: Implementing universal background checks; improving the quality of (and removing the barriers to) mental health care; and eliminating access to weapons made for the battlefield would likely save some lives. But as long as we continue to condone personal firearms of any shape or size, we’ll remain trapped in a brutal, heart-breaking version of “Groundhog Day.” And we’ll have only ourselves to blame.
.50 caliber, propane tank, sports car and some assembly required.
Dear Sheep,
I think that it’s time that you’ve had a few things explained to you. We understand that you’re aware of the wolf, but it seems that you’ve been privileged to have had the sheedog's protection for too long. It is actually very rare that you suffer the consequences of a direct attack. We realize that you can appreciate them from afar, but that’s different. And you’ve likely have never had to repel a wolf yourself. Some of us wear uniforms and are obvious to you (we know because we often see and feel your scorn), but the vast majority of us are operating in your blind spot...............
Several teachable moments in this story. h/t redc1c4
Troy George Skinner, 25, arrived at the girl’s home in Richmond, Virginia last Friday, while armed with a knife, pepper spray and duct tape, according to Goochland County police. He had smashed the glass door and was reaching inside to unlock it when the girl’s mother fired her handgun, striking him in the neck. He survived. Skinner had first met the girl on Discord, a platform and chat site for gamers. After several months, she stopped talking to him, despite Skinner’s attempts to continue contact. “He was not invited here, he was not expected here, he had been told in the past that this daughter no longer wished to communicate with him,” said Goochland Sheriff James Agnew at a news conference on Monday.
Revolver fans rejoice! It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally ready to show you the results of our ballistics gelatin tests for .38 Special and .357 Magnum self-defense ammo. For this batch, we tested 38 loads total — 20 are .357 Magnum and 18 are .38 Special. The post for our previous ballistic gelatin tests outlines all of the detailed specifics of our test protocol and explains both the value and limitations of gel testing. If you are unfamiliar with how these tests work, I highly recommend looking over that article before moving on to the results here. You will also be able to see the results of 146 semi-auto loads that we tested covering popular self-defense ammo in .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.

Went to a local gun show, picked up a Lee Enfield Mark IV. Couldn't find a true SMLE but, I did okay.
Battered but very much a shooter.
The down side, though, here in CA, even a Lee Enfield is registered and CA wants to know the make and model of your gun safe. Which, I didn't think much of until I realized that once the state knows make and model, they can make a rough estimate of how many firearms one owns.
Looking forward to picking up the Lee Enfield, but, this is probably my last gun purchase while I live in CA.

Where do you find your ammo and other accessories? Lucky Gunner, Target
Sports USA, Palmetto State Armory? Or do you shop at ammo.com or Cheaper
Than Dirt?
Embrace the power of *and*.
Whoever is having a sale really. I do try to purchase at my local little gun shop - especially specialty ammo like tracers. I know I won't use much but I do want to throw some business their way. The owner is a hell of a gunsmith too and I use him for the things I'm smart enough to not try.

There ARE places in the US that are dangerous to visit. Like in Europe though the tours never go there. Neither do I.

Did a search of "Hunter TV show guns" and hit the image thingy. Hunter did not appear to be a monogamous gun guy like some of the hoarde or Dirty Harry. So no good answer for you.
I'll bring this up from the last thread and see if someone has a better answer than mine.

"...waitress who drew on the thug"
Should have given him the triple tap.
Absolutely astonishing.
Thugs operate fearlessly, hitting waitresses, throwing drinks and stealing hats from minors.
That crap has to stop.
BTW no charges were being filed against the hat stealer until the public put pressure on the sheriff, who literally had to be threatened in to doing his job.

"Where do you find your ammo and other accessories?"
ammunitiontogo.com. Someone on another forum years ago recommended it because he works there, and the prices were OK, no reason beyond that.
Also https://ammoseek.com/ and another aggregator sort of federated search site that I can't remember at the moment; they don't sell anything themselves but run a search to find price/round at other vendors.
Honestly, I usually just wait for 9mm to go on sale at Dunhams and get a couple of boxes. Saves on shipping and it's just a few blocks away.

the answer to invasive rodents or vermin ... is an "assault" weapon.
A 22 usually will suffice, but the civilized birds and other critters will thank you for wiping out the over-populating vermin. I can't imagine I'd ever need to shoot a human ... but being prepared is still essential, since Maxine and the rest are trying to get me killed.

Speaking of guns, watched "211" last night, starring Nick Cage. I think it's a straight-to-dvd movie.
If you like constant shooting, corny lines, pointless carnage, weak plots, I recommend 211.

I bought the Ruger PC carbine today. All they had left was the display model so after inspection I told them to pack it up, I'll take it. Of course I bought it because it comes with a Glock magazine well. It's sold with the Ruger mag well installed.
So I get home and I proceed to take it down to replace the Ruger mag well to replace it with the Glock. Only takes a few minutes after you read the directions. Got it in and tried to put my Glock mag in but it would not insert. I thought I had done something wrong and then I realized that someone at the store must have done it already when they had it on display . Did the replace process again and good to go. Is it selfish that I want my five minutes back?

Finally got the Ruger PC Carbine in 9mm. I have only been able to put 90 rounds through it due to my shoulder surgery but it is a keeper. The ergonomics are very very good and once I get full use from my shoulder I think I will be able to do mag changes one handed.
I just need to get optics for it. Going to go low profile high end I think. Any ideas?
It uses Glock mags and I have a Glock 19 and six extra 15 round mags coming from Glock from the Military/LEO sale. $578 delivered with the discount.

They missed the bigger point... EVERY Law, even the Constitution itself, is a Social Contract... the Declaration of Independence points that out.
And if the Government is no longer holding up its end of the bargain, than its the peoples Right to change it... to modify said government as needed.

sgammo.com has always been good to me. Low prices, fast shipping, never got an order wrong.
But also support your local gun shop. As in buy stuff from them regularly. Or eventually, they might not be there when you need them.

I have three already, hence the 90 rounds fired. Unfortunately under the Glock Military/LE discount program you can only order extra magazines for the pistol you are buying and there is a limit of 6 extra mags. That gives me 9 15 rounders for the pistol that also fit in the carbine so I should be OK.

About 80% of the students raised their hands. This is surprising to me because although I live and work in Canada and I'm a Canadian citizen, I grew up in the US; my family still lives there and I still think it's a reasonably safe place to visit.
Not really surprised. The fiction that this is some ultra-violent country is pumped out by their anti-American state-run media. How many of those students vacation in Mexico?

Nice day at the range yesterday. Took my 12 year old son and 9 year old daughter and went with a buddy and his 10 year old son who are new to shooting. The kids had their .22s and I brought along a M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and CZ-75 for some additional fun.
% hours at the 25 yard, 50 yard and plinking range. My daughter had to be dragged away as she kept feeding rounds in her Savage Rascal one at a time like a kid eating popcorn making the plates ring reliably out to 50 yards.

I did most of my gun buying back in the 80s and 90s. Never researched what caliber or gun was best. Just was this a good deal. People knew I liked guns so many were offered if a guy needed rent money. My river bottom collection is quite eclectic. The couple I don't have and still want is an AR something or a Barrett .50 those never got offered up cheap.

I have a snubbie 5 shot Taurus chambered for .357 magnum rounds. Absolutely brutal to shoot in such a small gun.
Switch to a Remington semi-jacketed hollow point in 38 Special +P and the gun shoots like a dream.
Ammo purchases: Midway or LaxAmmo.
Though, because CA, I now have to pay a fee to pick up my ammo at an FFL.
Sucks because for me to purchase a couple thousand rounds of ammo is normal yet, most gun shops are not geared toward mass purchases.

It takes a prepared mindset - and/or personal fear - to actually drop the hammer on someone. Part of Marines and Army infantry training develops that mindset. Even then some hesitate - even in actual combat.
As a corpsman I more than once counseled Marines who had just killed a V. C. - and knew it was their kill. Too many stories about people in their own homes having their own guns taken away by bad guys. Bad guys don't always run when the gun is pointed at them.
Carrying or owning should not be a matter of "I'll feel better.", but "I'll kill the SOB and answer for it later." This may be sexist, but men are better about this than women. I'll forgive the waitress for letting the as...le walk.

Derbyshire told some truths that were uncomfortable, but truths nonetheless. He more or less recapitulated what I told my European bride when we moved to the U.S. She thought we'd have to get guns just to routinely protect ourselves (as whites have to do in South Africa today), as we were moving to a city with a sky-high murder rate. I told her that where we'd be living it wasn't going to be necessary, and then I gave her the Derbyshire talk.

I collect manly surplus weapons and out of date, no longer made weapons of all types.
I buy most of my ammo on GunBroker, AIM Surplus and local pawn/gun shops that I educated on what I need.
Last week, I burned through about 100 rounds of German Army 8 mm surplus in my old Czech vz.24.
Head stamps were dated 1940 and 1943. Every one went bang. Every single one. Accurate too. Impressed I was.

Afternoon all.
Didn't make it this weekend, but shot my M&P Shield 9mm for the first time last weekend. Nice, easy to handle little gun. Gonna encourage my daughter to get one. She seems a bit resistant to buy a gun so far, not sure why. She works in downtown Detroit.
Today wearing the holster, preparing for the day I actually carry.

As previously recounted, my late father received a battlefield commission on Iwo Jima after his company had suffered 85% casualties. I once asked him if he'd ever known he'd killed somebody.
Only once, he replied. He said usually everybody was blasting away, and so it was hard to tell who'd actually got somebody. But once he was the first to see some guy come hotfooting toward his unit, and shot him before anyone else had noticed him.
I guess under those circumstances it wasn't as traumatic as it would have been otherwise.

me because although I live and work in Canada and I'm a Canadian

think it's a reasonably safe place to visit.
Sure there are dangerous places in the US. They need to get a job and a little reality to realize that being from some lib school won't help one bit on the South or West side of Chicago.

The down side, though, here in CA, even a Lee Enfield is registered and
CA wants to know the make and model of your gun safe. Which, I didn't
think much of until I realized that once the state knows make and model,
they can make a rough estimate of how many firearms one owns.
---
LOL
i've been giving them the same make and model on that form, ever since it came into being, just to be a shit. go ahead and estimate, bitches!
besides, the info isn't sent on to the DOJ, it's jut another potential charge, should you ever come up against DOJ another way, and you don't have proper storage.
out of all the bother with purchasing toys here in #Failifornia, the safe affidavit is the least of your worries, and it generally keeps you from having to purchase another shitty little overpriced lock.

That one's good too, albeit a bit wordy. I used to say that if Europe were part of the Disney empire, it'd be the "Yesterdayland" exhibit.

Where should I be looking for a colt 1911 45acp with a budget of 1k or less?
Posted by: westminsterdogshow at July 08, 2018 08:09 PM (Bpc14)
You can get a base Colt 1911 for about 900 but any upgrade will be over a grand.

As previously recounted, my late father received a battlefield commission on Iwo Jima after his company had suffered 85% casualties. I once asked him if he'd ever known he'd killed somebody. ----
A guy I worked with as a teenager ran the twin .50S on the back of a riverene boat in Vietnam. He said he didn't know if he ever hit anyone. But the fire from the river bank always stopped. He also described trees exploding when he would light up the shore. Cool guy.

I think after what they saw the Japs did to their fellow Marines / soldiers , the guilt about killing them lessened.
Posted by: Lancelot Link Secret Agent Chimp at July 08, 2018 08:08 PM (2DOZq)
That was my impression too. He was very matter of fact about the whole thing.
Also, it was kill or be killed. The first night on Iwo Jima he told his company (he was first sergeant) to pair off, and for one guy to stay awake while the other slept. During the night some of the guys on the periphery, exhausted, failed to do that, and they found them the next morning with their throats slit.

I'd be interested to hear what people say as well, only because - from my limited understanding - the 1911 market is so vast that it's better to get someone a gift certificate than the actual gun, even if you know they just want a USGI 1911A1 or something.

i've been giving them the same make and model on that form, ever since it came into being, just to be a shit. go ahead and estimate, bitches!
besides, the info isn't sent on to the DOJ, it's jut another potential charge, should you ever come up against DOJ another way, and you don't have proper storage.
out of all the bother with purchasing toys here in #Failifornia, the safe affidavit is the least of your worries, and it generally keeps you from having to purchase another shitty little overpriced lock.

Oh, I agree, but the safe question was one of those light bulb moments for me when I realized the question is also giving out information I might not want let out.
Also, I either forgot or didn't realize CA is registering everything, not just AR's.

I plan to be gone before it becomes a reality, though.

Local shooting place is charging $15 for a box of 9mm reloads and he could buy from Wal-Mart for $17 100 rounds of brand new 9mm.
He needed a shopping buggy to wheel it all out.

The worst of it is they claim to do it to protect veterans with PTSD. I grew up in the 50s and I'm sure there were a lot more veterans back then. Never heard anyone asking to outlaw fireworks back then.

I feel completely confident at work and when I'm out and about. I admit I am less confident of our safety when we are at home. This is not because of random thugs, we are situated pretty well as far as security. What I am not confident about is what the government is capable of. We know they are incapable of protecting us so they give us an illusion of safety. The one thing I am absolutely sure they are capable of is treachery and suppression of my GOD-Given right to defend myself, family, and property. Especially in my home with no witnesses present.

I just watched that video. What do you think of the pick? He's like racist and like too extreme.

147 I feel completely confident at work and when I'm out and about. I admit I am less confident of our safety when we are at home. This is not because of random thugs, we are situated pretty well as far as security. What I am not confident about is what the government is capable of. We know they are incapable of protecting us so they give us an illusion of safety. The one thing I am absolutely sure they are capable of is treachery and suppression of my GOD-Given right to defend myself, family, and property. Especially in my home with no witnesses present.

I was visiting a friend and his wife in LA during the most recent riots. It turned out that while he lives far away from downtown, the bruthas have figured out how to use the metro system to find fresh prey, and the rioters were only a mile away from his house.
I didn't say anything, but I thought if I were in his shoes, I'd definitely be investing in some hardware, for the next time.
Because you know there will be a next time.

Note that the media is giving them attention, and positively spinning what they are yelling...
Which will lead to more confrontations.
They even negatively covered the ONE guy who called them out for their bad behavior.

Sorry PTSD has become something of a 'me too see!' type affliction. It was used to stigmatize the returning Viet Nam vet and then as is usual Leftist want got flipped to virtue signal how much they 'care' for our veterans.
All the Left wants to really do is pigeonhole the American veteran while ignoring them at the same time.

Most places I have lived outlawed fireworks of any kind (Dean Wormer?) unless you used them for "agricultural" purposes of keeping crows and the like off of crops.
Didn't matter. Every 4th of July and every New Year Eves it was pow! bang! kaboom!.....cops just ignored it unless some old fart kept calling in a complaint.

Several decades ago Syria executed an Israeli spy. His info was key to Golan Heights and other conflict zones. They took and kept his wrist watch.
The Israelis recently conducted an op in which they stole the watch back will have special ceremony returning it to his family. Would just love to hear details about that.

instead of dealing with the criminals that invoke most of the non-suicide shootings (guns are very effective tools for suicide, hence the high numbers).the push is to create laws that encumber (violate the Constitution, but that never slowed a liberal) gun owners. Until you start addressing the real problem. people going off the deep end without support that have access to someone's guns and criminals that use these very effective tools to control their wealth generation efforts, GO AWAY

She said COLT! That's like someone asking what Ford truck she should buy her husband and y'all start talking about the great Chevy's out there.
My guess is he's mentioned Colt, not Rock Island, not Kimber, etc..

You can find Colt 1911's starting from about $450 on the used market.
New? You can spend a lot of money depending on what you get.
I just looked at gunbroker and they had a new one all tricked out for about $4500.

I think this isn't too OT for a gun thread. The Lefties are trying to outlaw fireworks on the 4th. They made them illegal in Vancouver but you can buy them a few days in the county. If you read the Facebook posts about it, you can see what humorless scolds the Lefties are.
I'm 66 years old. Grew up in a suburb of Louisville, KY.
Fireworks were illegal and we had to go to Tennessee to buy them. I live in Indiana now and they are legal. I think they are legal in Kentucky too now. It's odd they are legal now but were not legal then.

They are tightly built weapons all the way around. There is a reason they strongly recommend a 200 round break in period (more like 3-400, IMO) to get everything loosened up some. Polishing the feed ramp really helped mine, no more FTFs after that.

About 30 years ago I bought an Enfield mark 4 from the Ishapore armory in India. It is chambered in .308 because India switched to nato calibers back in the 60s. Its stock has a lot of dings but the chrome bore looked virgin. When India switched to semi-autos for their border guards they dumped the Enfields on the market. Bought it for $69 plus tax.
It is more accurate than I am and its weight makes recoil light. Plus it came with a 10 round box mag. Found 2 more mags. What I like about the Enfield is its smooth, quick to cycle bolt. I run a couple of mags through it a few times each year. Bore remains shiny.

Derbyshire told some truths that were uncomfortable, but truths nonetheless.

The truth actually hurts ... almost physically sometimes. That's the reason for the reaction to the most pointed observances.
Doesn't excuse NRO. Just proves what they really are.

IIRC, the Chrysanthemum stamp makes it quite valuable... I think MacArthur ordered the rifles to be defaced?

Not sure how his Uncle got it home. But the Chrysanthemum stamp was ground off most of them because of that rule.

Not a gun I want to shoot. But Dad has an Arisaka his uncle that fought in the pacific gave him. Still has the Chrysanthemum on it. I would like that one.
Posted by: X-ray at July 08, 2018 08:52 PM (Mxa6K)
By all means, shoot it. The Type 38 is 6.5 mm Jap and has the Jap symbols for "38" stamped and stacked on the chamber while the Type 99 is 7.7 mm Jap and has the Jap symbols for "99" stamped side by side.
The 7.7 mm Jap is close to our .30-O6.
Be careful though, some of the GI bring backs were training rifles only and have no rifling in the barrel and are not meant to shoot. Hence the old wives tales of Arisaka's blowing up when shot. The real Arisaka's are some of the strongest bolt action rifles ever made.
Take it to a gunsmith, have them give it a once over and check head space, and if the rifle checks out, shoot it.
It's what it's made for.

B.) NO POLITICS. Aside from the occasional sideways slight (usually from Gene), there's no SJW shit. Wonderful. And,
iii.) The family loves each other and even if they do dumb things to each other, the affection is clear.

no, one officer demanded it, and everyone thought it meant them too.

They are very nice to shoot.

we've got an Arisaka with the Imperial Crest still on it, with the bayonet too.
pretty sure it's *not* a training rifle, as the bayonet has bullet strikes on it.
that one is going to a museum. too bad we couldn't get the story on it, because we found it at the asshole gun store.

That's a pretty piece of hardware up top there.
This question about cognitive bias, it's so fundamental to all of this. I am fond of telling people, when we've had floods here in this area, out of towners are asking me if I'm getting around in a boat, as if the whole metro area is under water.
It's amazing, where I work, it's probably about as dangerous as any area of this country. When I leave the building in the evening, in winter, there's a legit reason to be concerned, walking to my car after dark, but a little situational awareness goes a long way.
On any given day, there's going to have been at least one murder within a five mile radius of me. But you know what? I'm a middle aged white guy. You know how many middle aged white guys get murdered in the area where I work?
Pretty close to 0, year in and year out.

I'm a wannabe filmmaker and working with Super 8, although obviously and hopelessly outdated, is a great way (and film schools' recommended way) to really learn how to work with film and all the lighting considerations it requires. You learn how to use film speed considerations, your camera's iris, a light meter, and other tools as well.
Then in turn, those skills can be used to obtain great images with modern-date digital footage.

Great! Remember, a Jap trooper most likely carried that rifle on the day he died and your Uncle was fortunate enough to bring it back.

Dad had a straight 8mm in the early days, and those films don't hit me as hard. I don't know if it's because I was a lot younger then, or if he got better by the time got the super 8, or what, but the old S8 movies damn near move me to tears.
I didn't even know you could still get film and processing. Please keep at it. That's cool as hell.

What I like about the Enfield is its smooth, quick to cycle bolt.
-------
After the South African War disappointed in their marksmanship versus the Boers, British enlisted and officers subscribed their own money to buy ammo for practicing and put alot of effort into it.

After the South African War disappointed in their marksmanship versus the Boers, British enlisted and officers subscribed their own money to buy ammo for practicing and put alot of effort into it. Between that and the Enfield in the early days with the original 'Old Contemptibles', German units thought they were facing machinegun-equipped troops when they were actually facing ordinary rifle companies.

I teach a course at my Canadian university on the Psychology of Thinking
and in this course, we discuss topics like concept formation, decision
making, and reasoning... "How many of you think that the US is a dangerous place to visit?" About 80% of the students raised their hands.

Eustace, thanks again. Although it's not as easy or anywhere as cheap as it used to be, you can still get Super 8 film and processing. Kodak has actually just recently started up some lines of Super 8 film again, because it's still used a lot by film schools and there's a streak of independent filmmakers who still want it. They also now offer both processing and direct-to-DVD service.

The reason we have to ask states to exercise our GOD-Giver Constitutional rights is this. Since 1865 there is no such thing as State's Rights. But for some 'reason' there is still Reconstruction. Go figure.

Greetings:
So how unfortunate was it that real "assault weapons" were so named ???
What was meant to refer to an infantry "assault", a armed attack on a defended position, was way too easily confused with the more familiar criminal assault concept.
And obviously our current masters of media have no intention to reveal the difference even when most of what are referred to as "assault weapons" don't have the automatic firing capability that provides the suppressive fire so necessary for an infantry assault.

If that beotch was in my hypothetical restaurant I'd see to it she was served promptly and properly - with no hassle. After she was done I'd present the bill with a small lecture:
" I risked my life so that the you would have the right to hold, say, and print your opinion. You should know I despise your opinions. That said - unlike Mrs. Sanders - you have just finished a great meal with outstanding service - and no harassment. I ask that you remember this experience the next time you prepare one of your vicious and arrogant rants. Than k-you for your business."

First, the irony of worrying about "reproductive harm," in a state that is all-in on abortion, is breath-taking.
But second, THIS shit is "known to the state of California," but basic fiscal prudence and sound social policy is terra incognita to said state.

@212 well that would be nice. Virginia is mostly gun friendly but the sheriff is the issuer of CWP and the county is liberal as they come. The law says if your background check doesn't come back in 45 days they have to give it to you. I think my liberal sanctuary county (when they tell you Virginia has no sanctuary cities they are lying) uses that as the floor not ceiling.

He has a shitfit when I describe the guns I have to him. "Why do you need assault weapons?!"
I have calmly explained to him that I don't, I have civilian approved weapons (ARs, 2 AKs, pistols, e few other rifles and 2 shotties).Had the same conversation with him several times, he chooses to retain none of it.
To him an AR is assault rifle, an AK is a machine gun, and pistols are mil grade guns.

I'm not aware of any shootings that were caused by 'the gunshow loophole', though I'm sure there must be a couple.
Universal background checks, however, are just a progressive sales term for the government keeping a complete record of all gun ownership - and with just a few more reasonable gun controls - confiscation of whatever guns the government decides to collect from that list.

Assumptions: 45 ACP, not a CCW piece.
1991 Series. It has GI sights. Full size. Around $750
Series 70. Also full size with GI sights. Better gun. Around $850. Had one as my personally owned backup piece when I was a Ranger back in the let 70's and early 80's. It became stepdad's bench gun (he was a Judge).
Series 70 Competition, Full size with nicer sights. Stainless Steel. Around $930.
Colt Commander. A bit smaller and lighter, nicer sights. Around $925

Earlier in the week, I acquired a gently used Colt Defender in 45 ACP. Finally got off my butt and took it to the range.
This thing is, of course, much smaller than my full size Series 80. It also has rubber wrap-around grips with finger grooves, so that adds to the different feel.
The beaver tail grip safety makes it sit in the web between thumb and hand differently.
Put a couple hundred rounds of target grade ball ammo downrange. No issues in function. Rear sight need drifted left a tad. Next trip.
I find I shoot it better one handed than using two. But, to be honest, I've not been to the range in a while and have some skill decay. All in the kill zone out to 20 yds, but not as good as normal.
All in all, very happy.

I grew up in the Bronx of the '50s and '60s. Back then and there there wasn't any administrative requirements for long guns. Pistols came under the Sullivan Law which meant that if you weren't a retired police officer, the owner of a cash business, or politically connected you pretty much had no chance to get a permit. In the early '70s, the City came up with a requirement to register all long guns.
Te fear is not a phobia.

"Where should I be looking for a colt 1911 45acp with a budget of 1k or less? "
1. Go to Cheaper Than Dirt
2. Pull down "Firearms", then "Handguns", then click "Semi-automatic"
... wait ...
3. On the left, click the caliber you want (.45 ACP)
... wait ...
4. On the right,in the "Sort By:" box,
select "Price Low to High"
... wait ...
(I think I'd pass on the Hi Point .45 ACP $167.64)
or
select "Price High to low"
... wait ...
(I think I'd pass on the Ed Brown Special Forces SRC $4,246.74
In either case, sorting by price shows what's on the market by manufacturer's price range .... and the overlap between manufacturers.
I think that this is a situation where you do indeed get what you pay for ... BUT paying too much gets you something that is not clearly better, and paying way too much ($4,246.74) gets you something that's a bit finnicky.
I think that $495 is the point where acceptable quality starts and maybe $900 is where the quality becomes less obvious.
Where you buy will affect your price. I'd look at the selection at CTD (look & read), then see what you can get at your local shop, then talk to your local shop, and buy there. A "tighter" gun (closer tolerances, less play in the action) is more likely to jam once dirt builds up. Talk to your local dealer. A $550-$650 CTD model at your local dealer might be a good starting point.

3. On the left, click the caliber you want (.45 ACP)
... wait ...
4. On the right,in the "Sort By:" box,
select "Price Low to High"
... wait ...
(I think I'd pass on the Hi Point .45 ACP $167.64)
or
select "Price High to low"
... wait ...
(I think I'd pass on the Ed Brown Special Forces SRC $4,246.74
In either case, sorting by price shows what's on the market by manufacturer's price range .... and the overlap between manufacturers.
I think that this is a situation where you do indeed get what you pay for ... BUT paying too much gets you something that is not clearly better, and paying way too much ($4,246.74) gets you something that's a bit finnicky.
I think that $495 is the point where acceptable quality starts and maybe $900 is where the quality becomes less obvious.
Where you buy will affect your price. I'd look at the selection at CTD (look & read), then see what you can get at your local shop, then talk to your local shop, and buy there. A "tighter" gun (closer tolerances, less play in the action) is more likely to jam once dirt builds up. Talk to your local dealer. A $550-$650 CTD model at your local dealer might be a good starting point.

Every damn weapon is made for war. Stupid distinction and except for one horrible Supreme court decision irrelevant to the ownership of arms, to include machine guns and short barrel shotguns and rifles.

Where should I be looking for a colt 1911 45acp with a budget of 1k or less?
I'm happy with my R1 from Remington. I got mine during the $1 00 rebate.
