    Would anyone around Dalton like to get together for an OC dinner? I'll be driving 40 minutes myself. I was thinking of having it there because it seems to be a good centralized location for the Northwest GA area. If anyone is interested, post and I'll set it up

    Am I the only one?

    So I was sitting in my recliner changing the grips on my 1911 (which I do frequently), and my wife looks over and says "Your just like our daughter changing the clothes on her barbie everyday). Does anyone else do this, or am I in fact compairable to a 6 year old girl? :D

    Why carry a gun? I believe this video says it all.

    My grip safety on my 1911 commander is loose. I've been told I can tighten it up by bending the right leaf on the mainspring, is this true?

    got a new tool..

    I traded my SW40VE for a Metro Arms American Classic Commander 1911 45 ACP. It comes standard with an extended slide stop, extended beaver tail safety, combat trigger, and combat hammer I must say for a $475 gun it is a very VERY nice piece. The fit and finish are among the best I've seen, and...
