Been buying too many lately.

Probably good on handguns for a while, but I would like to pick up a 7.62 at some point.

Hahahaha...... I guess it's like that eh? When you like something you want more of it. Eh?
I like popping caps too, it's fun stuff.
What's that clip / switch on the handle? Also, that weapon resembles Para Ordinance a bit.

I think at some point there were some CETME-based pistols floating around (Century Arms) in 7.62x51 NATO. But I can't for the life of me imagine firing a .308 pistol...

ON-OFF switch for the laser.

Kimber resembles Para resembles many more because they all are different takes on the Colt Government Model 1911 created by that genius John Browning.

And yeah he's got frickin lasers on his frickin pistols lol.

That would be insane...no interest in that. Wouldn't mind a nice SCAR though.

This is my first 1911, and so far I'm really enjoying it.

Holy crap Calbert take a chill pill. You don't need to live in the ghetto to have the right of self-defense.

I have a few guns and aside from my Remington 700/300WM, they aren't for hunting, and target practice isn't only to learn to kill paper better.

If your country was so safe the police would be unarmed. But guns are obviously necessary. If you always have a cop (Mountie?) around then lucky you. But for those who don't, it's only fair to give a person the same level of defense available to the government troopers and the uber-special protected class who are important enough to be able to defend themselves with their Canadian concealed weapon permit. If a special person can have one, and criminals will have one regardless
of the law, and the government troopers can have one, that just leaves the average law abiding person at a disadvantage.

So if you don't want one, fine. But you shouldn't go around telling people what they should and should't do.

My government spent time and money on me to go overseas to keep the peace. It's the least I can do to carry that same vigilance in the home front. I also don't have a state-issued body guard. So that's why I exercise my right to keep and BEAR arms. I think someone from Texas should take you under their wing for a week or two so you can see the light.

I would like one, but I can't stop buying tactical plastic and scary black rifles lol. You chose a very nice 1911 to start with!

Hopefully my next purchase will be a SCAR-H (black of course) although FDE looks nice too.

I agree with you 100%. The 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms without the need to explain to our government why.

Criminals are criminals and will carry regardless of the law. I just want the ability to protect myself and my family. Anyone that thinks they're safe because of their location should speak to my father in law. He was getting out of his car after pulling into his driveway in a very affluent neighborhood. A car pulled up, and two men jumped out...one with a gun. They stole his wallet which had a couple hundred bucks inside, hit him in the head and left. He now has his CHL and carries all the time.

That being said...we need to keep the focus on guns, and avoid getting into a political discussion. That's the quickest way to get this thread closed.

Pointless for me to write anymore on the topic, obviously don't understand English.

Pretty hard to do in a place that has less crime in the whole country than in one of your states. Get it?

Wow criminals in Canada must be very polite. They give you concrete proof your life will be in danger, and in enough time to get the paperwork done and get your permit. And all this time I thought the utopian socialist model was a myth. My bad.

What do families of victims say when you tell them their loved one is statistically irrelevant? Sounds kind of cold hearted, but i'm just a silly person who believes in the freedom and liberty of the individual. Guess i'm not willing to take one for the greater good.

So yeah, politics suck. Yay guns! Anyone thinking of getting the Springfield XDS when it comes out? I'm curious to see Springfield's take on a single-stack 9mm.

There are always two sides to a coin. How many accidental discharges are there in the democratic US utopia? How many times are lives taken senselessly by guns that have nothing to do with crimes because daddy was too stupid to SAFE the weapon? What do you tell those peoples families? There are more deaths from accidental gun deaths than there are from criminals. Let's not go there. You're argument makes no logical sense because all you seem to focus on is the "criminal" elements and nothing else. Open your mind a bit to understand there are more than one reason to carry or not to carry deadly weapons.
I agree if the data supports your "need" to carry for protection because that's the environment you live in that's all good, it makes logical sense, but if the data doesn't then it's senseless and having everybody carry just for the sake of saying you can makes no sense at all and would be more dangerous. Get real and give up on your baseless argument. The lack of carry law here saves more lives than it would if people carried. Go watch your local news, how many times is there a gun crime vs a gun accident? I can use your same senseless mathematics. I don't want to take one accidentally for the greater good either because some monkey wants to carry a loaded .44cal to be cool, and his 5yr. old picks it up and fires off a round while daddy is in the store picking up a pack of cigs., when there is absolutely no need to. Try to understand and I will write this again for your benefit. Canadians can own firearms, we can keep them at home, we can use them for hunting, sport, collection, self defence, et al. But, "everybody" cannot go to the shop, buy a .44mag. and stuff it in their pants to go hang out. There must be a "need". That's it not complicated, a "need", not a "want", a "need". Everywhere on the globe is not the same as where you live and therefore have different laws. That's what democracy is all about. You have your version, we have our, and it suits purpose for each country for good reason. Hell, if I live in varying states I carry weapons too. But, I don't so no need to, politics or not, no "need" to.
