I voted- not sure how much good it will do with the uphill battle Illinois seems to continue to have. I, for one, am tired of living with this and am making plans to move to a "free state".

Damn bro- I thought I had bad luck with cars! Sounds like the worst is over now....

Today's youth... You could pick up a digital trail camera pretty cheap these days. Wouldn't hurt just to see if it happens again. Good luck

Happy B-day guys!

And it would make a great nutcracker during the holidays!

I like the grip tape from Trugrip at ericwesselman.com. Very grippy, but not harsh on your hands. You get a pack of 5 for under $25.

Well, I went to a local gun show today to pick up my grips from a buddy running a booth there. I didn't figure there was a whole lot of reason to walk around, but thought I might as well since I paid my $5 entry. My general experience of guns shows is overpriced junk and alot of gunshop commandos trying to sell it. But- I found this diamond in all the rough! I paid $400 for this "Wilson Combat" Marvel Unit 2 Practical conversion. It came with 7 mags and the loading device. I figured it was a pretty good deal- but almost passed on it! But have been hearing of the long waiting and considered the savings of $240 as the deciding factors as to not pass on this deal. The cool thing I never noticed before is that the metal basepads can be swapped out for the extended Wilson magazine basepads. Three extended ones came with the deal. And that the guiderod screws in- to lock the barrel up once it is installed. The barrel is indeed fixed and does not move once installed properly. Slide to frame was about as tight as one would expect from a conversion meant to fit on all the various 1911 pattern guns out there. I will be ordering the .100" narrow sight for it and be ready to run! Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand/type of .22 ammo will run best in this? Here it is on my Spartan... Please excuse the crappy pics!

Good point Howard.

Sweet gun Jas- I am in the market for a conceilable 1911 myself- looking pretty hard at the STI Guardian.

Thanks Larry- thats cool.

I use red- green tends to blend in a bit to leaves, grass and such. If you are looking for the "brightest", try changing them out once in awhile! Fiber optics fade or get dirty and should be swapped out periodically. Not like they cost alot!

Now get back to practicing and quit whining!!

Sorry you got bit bro! Get well soon!

Cool- I am thinking I need another one- just had an old Ciener unit before. Not real accurate nor reliable....but it did get the job done.

Cool!

I could have lived without seeing that Ed!

Had fun with the tank game- thanks for the link.

I may be using mine to move south!

So will they both work on a 1911 and a 2011?

I was thinking the same thing last fall when I took some new routes to matches! Gotta take time to smell the roses- so to speak......

Major- enough said...

If only Glock made revolvers....

That is pretty cool....

Yeah- we are 'sposed to get more tonight...
