Wow the media actually did a little research and got something right for a change. People should point out what happened in Austrailia when they banned most guns. Crime won't through the roof!

I actually own a 1911 and a glock also, I find it funny how on most forums they always try to put whichever they don't have down.

I think they both have their place, I absolutely love the 1911, but I trust the Glock so much I gave it to my wife and she loves it which is a good thing cuz for some reason it wasn't the most comfortable for me to shoot, but was such a good gun I couldn't get rid of it.

What work have you done to yours, I also have a Glock 22 frame sitting in the safe waiting to be built for some competition shooting.

Plinking is basically informal target shooting, it's going out having a good time just practicing shooting cans, bottles balloons or whatever else you can find to safely shoot.

Does anyone know of a place worth supporting to get bulk 9mm practice and defense ammo?

I also need to get some more mags for my Taurus PT911

Because there are only two types of people a news station interviews:

1) Someone who supports their views
2) People too stupid to articulate opposing views.

Agreed.

We need some gifted middle school debate team to verbally rape some of these people. Their inherent rationale would blow the minds of these hyper pc liberal pansies.

Almost all models have their pros and cons, hence why I have several and like to shoot them all.

On both my G35 & G21 I have storm lake barrels, titanium firing pins and plungers, fulcrum triggers 2lbs or so pull, all new springs, heavy tungsten guide rods and spring, extended slide levers, extended slide lock, extended mag release, recoil buffer and pachmayr grips. The G21 has titanium pin kit and a few other shiny parts.

I had some Meprolight Adj Night Sights on order but after 5 months of waiting I canceled the order, still looking for those. Probably just order them from Dawson precision.

After all the mods they shoot nothing like a stock glock. I love these guns now. I let people shoot them at the range and just because most people are used to the long hard trigger pull they come with from the factory.

I love shooting my newer 1911 tho.
