The 1911 idea isn't a terrible one.

Rock river just brought theirs out recently. Colt should've been the one to lead this effort IMO.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Not too bad IMO

Pretty nice.

Another option would've been to buy the rights to manufacture the Russian designed Strike One pistol in America. Kinda how Springfield armory did the XD. Not sure how the particulars would've went, but it could've been something different for Colt.

My stock just departed from Memphis.

Colt doesn't even make revolvers other than the SAA any more, do they? And they're nice as far as I know but for the money Ruger pretty much owns that market. And for pistols it's pretty much just the 1911, right? Nothing wrong with 1911's either but pretty much EVERYBODY'S got a 1911 (or 3) in their lineup so that's a tough place to make your living even if you are Colt.

Scuttlebutt though it may be I've heard rumors that union issues have been plaguing Colt for some time. Moving out and starting over out from under some of the financial burdens might be in the works.

got 5, Colt's in various 1911 frames
should have bought the Python I looked at a couple of months ago
Now they will only be more expensive

 

[TNsnyper20]

Got the stock on. Going to do some stippling on the grip next.

 

[TNsnyper20]

Anyone with experience ordering from ammo2go? Prices seem good when you buy bulk and the selection is nice.

Thanks in advance.

I remember back about 10 years ago people were talking about how expensive the Python's were at $800-1000. Boy, wouldn't you have liked to have bought a few of them?

I was gonna say you're up late, VIA, but you're golfing the rest of the work week, right?

Walmart has been carrying Federal aluminum cased 9mm for $9 here recently. Shoots clean and haven't had any issues. I recommend it as a pretty cheap ammo alternative.

yes...if the weather holds..
It's nice right now...my guest will be here around 1000 and were going to play a 9 hole practice round...Then the Par 3 contest starts at 2:30, but the rain is suppose to hit about lunch time.

I really hope it holds off, the course is soaked right now,

[vol_in_ar]
