A 1911 Dinosaur Turns Over a New Leaf — Switching to XD Polymer Frame Pistols
I have been shooting M1911 steel-framed Colt .45 ACPs for more than 35 years, and up until now, I’ve always considered myself a M1911 die-hard. But through those years, I’ve seen the price of Colt pistols and spare parts radically escalate. My first M1911-series pistol was a slightly-used Colt Commander that I bought in 1981 at a San Jose, California gun show, for $160. (In those days, you could pay cash for a pistol from a fellow private party, and walk out the door with it, sans any paperwork. Sadly, things have changed in California–and that was one of the …

Odds ‘n Sods:
Mosby reminded me about the upcoming annual National B.O.B. Weekend. o o o President-almost-elect Obama says that he doesn’t want to take your guns. But if he is truly a supporter of the Second Amendment, as he claims, then why does he use the Brady Center for Civilian Disarmament‘s mantra of “Common sense gun safety laws”?
