I carry a Kimber everyday. I bought it a couple years before Ruger announced the SR1911. If it had been available, I'd have bought it then, at half the price. I have played with a Ruger recently. It has a superior trigger than the Kimber, thanks to the Series 70 design with the titanium...

Went to an estate sale at my favorite gun shop, and there was an old stainless Ruger Mini-14 with what appeared to be the Ruger factory folding stock. It had obviously not come with the rifle as the stock's metal was blued. I did as much research as I could from my phone, including a few...

I'll host in Boulder City, NV, near Las Vegas. And if anyone shows up, I'll shoot for it, too. What the heck!

PM sent.

My Kimber 1911 has off-center strikes, significantly. I've had and shot LOTS of 1911's and this is the only one that is even close to being this far off. It has never misfired, and its accuracy is as advertised. This is not to say your Redhawk doesn't have an issue, just that off center...

My bad! I saw the barrel sticking out of the slide and assumed the slide was back instead of noticing that it was an extended barrel. Oops. It all makes sense now!

Is the slide also ported?

My neighbor's dad had a home invasion a couple nights ago while he slept. They locked him in his room (he's practically deaf and never heard a thing) and stole a big TV, his SUV, and his Ruger .22 pistol. My neighbor knows I know guns and have a few resources so he asked if I can find out how...

Out of my Kimber .22 Conversion Kit on my Kimber 1911, I am undefeated in the monthly Bullseye Pistol matches at a local club using CCI MiniMag ammunition. Before the first month's match, I spent six hours testing various ammo including Aguila Super Match, Remington Subsonic, and Wolf Match...

I did some checking around. Wow, these guns sure have gone up in price. My first instinct was that $450 seemed pretty high, but after looking around, it seems that it isn't too bad a deal. That's unfortunate.

I LOVE revolvers and carry one as a BUG or summer gun more often than not. A Ruger Vaquero with really stout .45 loads backs me up in the great outdoors. But NO WAY would I be without a 1911 .45 ACP for general purpose and normal CCW... I just wouldn't feel right... I look at my other many...

I don't know what S&W did, but I can tell you that my Kimber 1911 has an offset firing pin. The pin strike on the primer is a full pin diameter off of center. It fires everytime. All I'm saying is that you COULD move chambers more toward the outer edge of the cylinder by enough to make a...

The most useful thing to have in your kit is an UpLULA magazine loader. They cost about $30 and work on any single- or double-stack magazine from 9mm to .45.

Well, generally speaking, yes, but IDPA does not actually have a 180* rule. Now, many local clubs do, but for those who can accommodate it in their stage design, IDPA allows for a greater range of motion. I've never seen an IDPA match that requires more than three magazines total, and that is...
