Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns A 1911?

I love a good laugh in the morning. Thanks boy.

Laughin'...

Don't you worry your pretty little head about what I've owned and shot. You just keep buying and selling before any pistol hits the 100 round mark. You're doing a fine job of that.

Boy...

You have less experience with handguns than anybody that regularly posts on this board. You don't hunt with a handgun, you don't work with a handgun, and you sure as hell don't recreate with a handgun. That's proven by your love for the Judge.

You are a poser. Nothing more.

Son? Travis, is Cole old enough to be your daddy? If not, why is he calling you son?

Yeah, dude in his thirties calling me "son". He's always good for a laugh.

Most posers are.


Travis

Those seem to be fair questions.

A better question is what has Cole ever shot with a handgun where is his experience with how they work in the game fields or as a self defense tool.

I don't think that he has ever posted a picture of such, yet tries to pass off as an expert on it all

He has more BS in his posts than any other regular poster in the handgun forum

Shot a bunch. Owed zero.




Travis

Back to the original question. If it were mine, I would find a set of taller replacement sights that do not requiring altering the gun. Much easier to hit with over the originals IME. Then a little trigger work for a crisp, safe 4-5# pull if it doesn't already have one, which I doubt. Then, shoot the hell out of it.

Amen to that!

But the "shoot until grips are smooth" idea is cheaper.


Travis

And more fun!!

Some classic pattern, Coco Bolo, double diamond checkered, grips.

Then vacuum seal it in plastic.

Yep, I'm old enough to be his daddy. lol

Worry? I don't care how many 10's you've owned and shot, why would I be worried about it? I just asked the question to prove a point.

I can't tell you how much experience you have with handguns, nor how much others have with them, only my own. It is considerable and seriously starting possibly before you were born. I don't recall what year I first shot one, but I owned one by 1979. I'm not the biggest handgun hunter around, having only shot one with a short gun. Kansas has never had a dedicated Handgun Deer Season and still doesn't. Of late, it has become legal to shoot one with a handgun during rifle season. I carried my Uberti Bisley with me almost every day I went this year, probably seven days. The exception was one or two days that I took the Judge along. I've shot small game animals such as squirrels and rabbits along with countless varmints, feral dogs and cats. Hunting hogs is now against the law in Kansas. I carry a handgun daily on the farm and shoot often. I have targets set up in my backyard and can shoot anytime I want. I earned the Expert Rifleman Badge in the Reserves way back in the early eighties.

I started reloading before 1980 with a Lee Loader and have been reloading for handguns for a long time. Without going down to the basement and looking, I can count 10 calibers I currently reload for just in handgun calibers alone.

Recreate? If you mean shoot for fun, that's what I do mostly. I've probably put three hundred rounds through the Judge alone. You've seen pics of my targets and my kids with targets that we've shot together. If you haven't, I guess you missed 'em and unfortunately, I've already taken up enough time just typing this out for you.

Poser? Yeah, well maybe so if all that constitutes posing. I've never shot a Grizzly like jwp and don't really have the desire to. I'd like to shoot a big hog like Whitworth's though and I thought seriously about Antelope hunting in Wyoming this fall/winter but it would have been with a rifle. I don't know enough about their laws to know about handgun hunting up there.

I bought and shot my first 10mm, a Delta Elite, back in probably 1988. I recall trading it off at the time for two shotguns which I gave away as Christmas presents. Later on 10's came and went with some being shot more than others. There are still some Norma and W/W down there that I reloaded a long time ago. I don't have absolute plans for another 10, but sooner or later one will come my way.

I hope this clears some things up for you Travis. I can't say whether they were really questions of yours, but rather false assertions. I don't shoot on the government dime, I have to buy everything I fire and I have to fire it on land that I own, not at a fancy gun range the po-po bought for me with tax dollars. This isn't to say anything against those that do but rather to illustrate that if everything comes out of your own pocket, it slows most folks down. I've been blessed with having been able to shoot quite a bit and hope to do more.

Do you have a bunch of friends with 10mm's so that you could shoot "a bunch" or do you rent them at your range? lol

Nice find, Travis. Seriously - I would store the original DE grips and put something else on for shooting (Hogue rubber, maybe?)

Why?? Endangered species??

I don't know that much about it Hawk. I was reading about hog hunting in some magazine and it talked about how Missouri was about to outlaw it because they thought they could better control people bringing them there and letting them loose to hunt them if they did. IMO, they probably just aren't getting enough money out of killing them-the government, that is. It referenced how it was already illegal in Kansas. I had no idea and would have popped one if I'd seen him. There's been some around here but one family that poaches all the time pretty much wiped them out.

Nice work, you're going to fall in love with that.
