Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Please help me get a 1911 .45

I know what you'll tell me —

“post this in the classifieds” —

Nope.
For several reasons that I'll neither list nor discuss,
that's not a workable option for me.

Even worse, developing circumstances may
soon force me off the internet altogether.
Until then, I'll have to rely on e-mail —
[email protected] —
afterward, on face-to-face chats somewhere.
(Can't hear or speak well enough to use the 'phone.)

In the recent tunnel-vision flurry to get rid of my guns,
I neglected to leave myself a suitable carry gun,
a “turret gun” for my wheel chair.

What I want but can't afford would be a 1911 .45 —
preferably a Kimber, preferably stainless,
mainly for the deterrent value of a big hole
staring at you from a big, shiny pistol.
(The .50 AE Desert Eagle costs too much
and is too big and heavy!
And anything smaller than the familiar 1911
would, to some perps, be an object of ridicule,
not the least bit intimidating.)

I was going to list my on-hand trading stock but
abandoned that notion as unwise public disclosure.
So if you're interested in possibly trading-off a good
1911 .45 to me, let's chat.

And since I'm here only seldom and may soon not be
here at all, let me try to express my deep and fervent
appreciation for the many years of very pleasant fellowship,
both in person and on-line, with so many good folks.
I don't know many of you by name, but I've already
discovered that I don't need to know your names
to remember our times of good fellowship.

Thanks,y'all!

(I mean it!)

Is this in response to what the fcc did yesterday?

Ha!

I don't have a 1911, but have a Kahr CW45 you can have/use/whatever.

Grow up dipschit.

no chit. Azzholes are always around....ones that can't begin to fill the shoes of the ones they feel the need to degrade....

reads like an episode of the Safariman saga...

I figured he talked to Ken since I sat down with him less than a week ago... since he seemed to know something the rest of us don't.

Heaven forbid someone gets the itch for a gun after attending a shoot with friends and handling a few... the drama...

Really... regale us...

Kent

Not even close to the same. Light years apart would be a good start as to the proper distance.

Yup.

I want to hear their long version of the accusation... you know, if they actually have justification.

Kent

Instead,lets see if/when we can get Ken a 1911 .45,that is the reason for this thread.

No excuse for rudeness and disrespect in this thread.

Considering the sources, I'm not surprised though.

In packs of wild dogs the weak and infirm are devoured by the younger, stronger animals.

Key word being animals.

I can think of a reliable Colt 1911, that Ken would be welcome to borrow, for as long as he wants, or we could haggle a trade of one sort or another.



Not fancy, but it has run flawlessly for a long time, and shoots pretty well. Sorry I don't still have the .400 Cor-bon barrel any more.

That's cool Patrick!

Kent

Sad, really sad trying to make such a comparison.
