    Cocked and locked question?

    When I carry it. If I have to get it out of a bag, I figure I have time to rack it,

    New pistol here...

    Nice shoot'ah. Good price too, at least in my neck of the woods. I want a 40 cal for my next handgun. I have been patiently waiting to find a well loved P94DC at a value price.

    Some LEOs still carry 1911s

    I carry my SR1911. I am a reserve officer and had to provide my own weapon. I carried my Glock 17 for a few years and had to provide my own ammo as the department uses Glock 21. The chief at the time said to get a 45 when I got a chance so the ammo would come out of the department. I told him I...

    Gander Mountain --- Dishonest in advertising? SR1911

    It is called a bait and switch and Sears got sued over it years ago if my failing memory serves me right. If you can show a pattern of it happening on a regular basis there is an arguement to be had. I fortunately do not have a Gander Mountain anywhere near me. I have been to their website and...

    Have the kinks been worked out of the LCP yet?

    Color of gun does not matter. If it makes her happy and she will carry and shoot it, buy it. My wife also has a charter arms 38 special undercover in a blue color with lightning bolts on it. It was her first handgun. She picked it out and wanted it. I was trying to get her into a snubnose 357...

    Have the kinks been worked out of the LCP yet?

    George, There was a recall for early models of the LCP for a dropping hazard. Here is the info from the ruger website. I cut and pasted it. • All LCP pistols with serial number prefix "371" and higher (371-xxxxx) have been manufactured with the new hammer mechanism and are NOT affected by the...

    LAYAWAY DISAPPOINTMENT

    Why not have the serial number and dealer stock number written on the paperwork done for the layaway, final sale and shipping paperwork? If things do not match when you get the gun, stop doing business. Even if I had done thousands of dollars of business, I would stop. That type of book keeping...

    Finally got a SR1911. A few Questions?

    My factory mags have been flawless. I also have 5 colt stainless 8 round mags that have been just as reliable.
