• Posted in thread: Are the colt 80 series 1911's any good, what are they worth? on 05-18-2013 at 12:51 AM
  I'm one who doesn't like the Series 80 Colts. The reason I don't like them - won't have one -
  is the idiot firing pin safety (ifps). (I won't have a Remington version either, for the same
  reason.) It ...

  I collect 'art deco' era .32 ACP pistols. I have about 10 so far. I do NOT know much about
  'modern' .32 ACP pistols.I've written most of them up in report/essay form on my blog, listed

  more places...

• Posted in thread: Anyone ever seen one of these on 04-03-2013 at 09:46 PM
  That would nearly as much fun as a fully automatic two shot derringer in .45 ACP!

  You cracked me up. Not about finding a kindred spirit, nor about being liberal, but the
  explanation of why you edited your post. I thought I was the only one who did such things!I

• Posted in thread: 56, and with no glasses I see the target...... on 04-02-2013 at 03:28 AM
