Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.


Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon?



Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware?

I've got the two 1911s, the CZ 75 compact, a CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow (the Ferrari of my collection), as well as a Glock 19, a Glock 22 that I use as my nightstand gun and a little Ruger LC9s that I'll carry if I know I'm going someplace that I have to leave the gun in the car.

This is my baby. Favorite gun by far. Can't recommend it highly enough. Trigger is awesome, low bore axis reduces recoil/muzzle flip, accurate as ****. It is all steel so that does increase the weight, but so what? Love it.

I bought a 9mm a couple of years ago just to keep in my car, nothing too expensive. I picked up a new SAR K2P at a local store (Rural King) for $279.99, it's made in Turkey and imported by EAA out of Cocoa Beach, not far from here. It holds 17 rounds. I put a small Hogue rubber grip around the handle, it feels good. Here's one for $249 online.

If you're in Florida, Rural King is advertising the SAR B6P for $223, it's very similar but I believe it only holds 13 rounds and is slightly smaller. The website is out, but check the stores for a cheap reliable 9mm.

I have a Springfield Armory 45 acp Range Officer that I really like. It can be had for well under a grand.

I came across a Eotech Vudu 1x6 a few days ago. I don't really have anything to mount it on at the moment. Any suggestions?

I have a few lesser ARs that are good enough for me, but they all have optics and/or sights on them already. I'm kind of fond of the Ruger Precision rifles I have one in 6.5 creedmoor, but hadn't really thought of the 223 in that. Anybody shot one, and if so what are your thoughts? I really don't want to shell out for Daniel, kac, or anything along those lines.

I hear ya about Kimber. Heard many of the same horror stories.

I have two Ruger LWT CMD 1911s, one in .45 auto and the other in 9mm. Great general purpose guns. They eat everything; fmj, hps, ballistic tips, cast, reloads, etc. My 9mm is more forgiving about reloads than my Glock 19!

For slightly more money you can get the Ruger Nightwatchman (CMD) 1911 w/nitride finish (black) and tritium night sights (about $950).

I would also recommend Colt. If you get into 1911s, eventually you're going to want a Colt, so might as well scratch that itch right off the bat. And they make a really nice 1911 now.

If you're willing to go a little over $1K, I'd heartily recommend a S&W 1911 SC-E bobtail. Bought one of these back when they first became available, and is absolutely my favorite 1911. Comes with night sights, a target grade barrel, 25 line/inch serrations, etc. Or you can find one used for about $8-900.

Excellent info. I saw the Ruger Nightwatchman and it's on my list of firearms to collect. I figured I'll eventually get a Colt...but dang those guys are expensive. I was at the gun shop today and saw a 1911 ( I have no idea what brand) listed at $3,200 I held my breath and walked away..

Those high end 1911s are like Italian sports cars. They're great when they run, but tend to break down a lot. I wouldn't trust my life with one.

From Ed Brown to Wilson Combat - and everyone in between - there are a boatload of custom builders out there.

I LOVE the 1911 platform and always have. Carry one all the time. However, believe it or not, I carry one of two 1911s - a Springfield 1911-A1 or a Sig Sauer P220 - both in .45.

I paid $500 for the Springfield and $525 for the Sig. I would trust my life with either pistol.

Unfortunately, for me at least, $3,000 PLUS for a custom build makes no sense to me. I mean, yes, they are absolutely beautiful, but practical? Not for me.

A good friend of mine chases those high end 1911's. He's big into Nighthawk and Guncrafter. He was into Wilson but I guess they "done him wrong" or something. I never could wrap my head around the prices he paid, then would take a loss to sell it so he could buy another high end toy. They are some pretty damn nice examples of custom work though, I will say that.

The problem is those pistols are literally made too good. The tolerances are so tight that if something is off by a fraction of a millimeter it can make the gun fail.

They are works of art, though. But my $1100 Sig is pretty too, and it goes bang every time I pull the trigger.
