Today must be the day for what if questions. I was thinking about this at work today and was curious with all of the s-i and 1911 fans here if you could only have one hand gun for selfdefense, home, carry and for competition what would it be. I know this topic is close to other's that were asked today but I really want to know if you could only have one what would it be. I've thought long and hard about it and much as I like my 1911's and cz's if I could only have one I would have to pick a glock 23 with night sights.

Old punp action 12 gauge.

My self feels sucked into this thread in much the same way that my self was sucked into the smart ass thread several times.

I'll have to go with Randy on this one.

This is a tough one hmm I give the not to Johny Cash and Joe Strummer singing Bob marlee's "Redemption song" It just squeeks by Warren Zevon's "Splendid Isolation"

Adam, I own a Para LDA 9mm which I bought for production. I put a Schuemann barrel in it and because I am left handed, I wanted to put an ambi safety on it. I contacted John Amidon for a ruling on the legality of this. The answer was that it is okay because this type of safety was a factory option on some of the LDA models. In other words, if the factory offers a part on some version of a production model LDA it is legal. The basic criteria is: "If I add this part will it still be a production gun that could be bought from the factory in this configuration". If I had a question about any given part, I would ask for a ruling. Otherwise you may find yourself shooting Open. Tony Note: One of the reasons I haven't shot this gun in a production match is a problem with the mags. The mag base is plastic and held in place with a small tab that hooks over the back of the tube. This tab is not very robust and does not seem to hold the base very securely. When practicing mag changes I often dislodge the base and push it forward, almost to the point of coming off. I'm afraid I will dump all my ammo on the ground in the middle of a stage. 3rd party bases are not allowed. Next time I bump into Todd Jarrett I think I will ask him how he gets around this problem. Until then, the gun is on the shelf. Are you shooting 10 round mags or standard capacity mags? The standard capacity mags have a little different set up which I have had zero problems with for over 25000 rounds.

I to like 40. Some call it the 40 short and whimpy. I just laugh and keep on shooting.

Those pics are hilarious.

Beware of reloading machines... The next thing you know you will have plenty of amunition and you will have no excuse not to be practicing all the time. Actually that is the best advice yet. I got the cz so I could shoot when I didn't have time to reload but now I'm collecting brass and getting ready to load 9. if you do the math you will find that reloading is more cost effective than buy a new gun. " gun store owners aregoing to start hunting me now.

congratulations that match sure looks like it was a lot of fun to shoot.

As much as I like the glock I would recomend the cz. I really like shooting my single action cz 75b. It sits nicely in my hand and is quite accurate. The double action version would allow you to shoot ssp and esp. It's a good reliable gun at a good price and you can put up too 20 rounds in a basically stock mag if you want.( 10, 15 or 16 in a cz 75 mag and 19 in a spo1 mag 20 if you do a little doctoring of the follower. If glock fits your had better it is also a very good way to go. I have a glock 23 that I really like but I have some problems with my hads that make it uncomfortable for my to shoot. Your best bet is to go down to a range that rents guns and shoot as many nines as you can until you find one you like. Just my opinion

Dern honkies are always jamming up traffic

It does put a smile on your face and make cleaning you blaster more fun

I had a lot of fun at the local steel match to day. When the dust had settled I won both the divisions I competed in and was sixth over all.( 4 of the five in front of me were shooting 22's)

It's not so shameless when I see people asking for it all the time. Nice start. I can't wait to see more.

I tried to warn you....it's BAD No wonder they went out of business...people saw the calendar and couldn't eat any donuts... Donuts....... I saw the calendar and now can't eat anything.

Those sure are some tastety looking fish. I love the water fall pics.

Thanks for the info I always like to hear when someone has a positive expirience with a vendor.

There's a whole thread in this section on Ion Bond wich explains it far better than I could.

Thanks for the tip on grip reduction I'm going to check that out. Please define very accurate. ( 2" at 25 yards? Bigger smaller.) Thanks for the input.
