wildhobbybobby Could enlighten me as to what I am looking at in your picture. Thanks for your time. Cheers NC Sure, it's a Harrington and Richardson Reising Model 50 WWII era selective fire submachinegun. It was a failure as a military weapon, but a hoot on the range.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

The nice thing about revolvers the brass is so easy to find. They don't jam very often either. whelennut

These two. I had night sights and the trigger lightened on the Kimber. It's my EDC gun, I replace the recoil spring about every 3000 rounds and it just keeps on running smooth. The Willson is the gun I shoot every week in a local clubs bowling pin match. It has over 20,000 rounds through it and besides cleaning, I change the recoil spring and buffer now and then,and that's it.

At the moment 45 acp's are pretty scarce at the homestead. The Ruger P-90 is mine and shoots better than it ought to, the 45 Bisley convertable is my wife's and I finally got her to shoot the new out of it. I'm thinking with a trigger job and some load work it will be an outstanding gun.

Can you tell any difference in how it shoots between the two guide rods?

I've made the change on almost every 1911 that I've ever owned if I plan to shoot it much (and have to clean it). Ease of disassembly is the reason for the change; has nothing to do with how it shoots & I've never seen even a smidgen of difference. MM

At no time in the last 60 years since gunsmith school have I been without at least 2 45acp's. Usually custom 1911's. Currently my favorite is the small 2 1/2" revolver they no longer make. They still make the same style but it has a steel cylinder,mine is Titanium. It has the best quick acquisition sights I have ever had on a handgun. I also have the same basic gun in a 10mm. My other two are a Kinber Eclipse Pro and a Rock Island Armory(which I consider to be the best buy in a 1911 today). With hardball the revolver is by far the most accurate out-of-the-box revolver I have ever had. A pleasure to shoot and carry.

Ease of disassembly is the reason for the change; has nothing to do with how it shoots & I've never seen even a smidgen of difference. MM Exactly this. Swap out had nothing to do with shooting, and everything to do with not needing to have an allen wrench to break it down and field strip it. It shoots no better and no worse, either way.

I use this one for NRA bullseye...25yd shortcourse. A fine shooter and very competitive, with some tweaking from the Colt Custom Shop. A Gold Cup doing what it was designed to do.

I feel the same,just have to ask when I see a swap out. I've stuck with the original GI for 40 years. Don't care for the one piece at all...
