Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

I asked in the other gun thread, but anyone have any trigger time on colt's new CC 1911? called the new defender?
I know its up there in price but for a good off duty carry or even back up carry I'd rather spend a little more. Thing is, is it worth the time to go rent one, or should I just chalk it up to another too short of a barrel 45 with the colt price tag? |

I do to, and unless performance is just so much better in the kimbers and springfields (etc) I really like the idea of the colt, with the history there. But I will not sacrifice performance for a name. I was think if I drop a grand on a pistol I will carry it and I like the smaller one to carry on duty on my ankle as a back up. Kinda best of all worlds.

http://www.coltsmfg.com/Catalog/Colt...derSeries.aspx The one I shot was a .45. It had a lot of kick since it had a shorter barrel compared to a gov't sized 1911, but it was still controllable. |

I realize I need to get my hands on one before I buy it, but just thought I'd ask all the gun nuts here if maybe someone has actually already had a chance. |

I've never fired any of the New Agent 1911's. I haven't heard anything about them either, good or bad. |

Yah, they are expensive. My next semi-auto pistol is gonna be the Glock 10mm with a high capacity magazine. This gun has it all and a reasonable price, but I'm very pragmatic in my gun purchases.

more information, I only have a 12 gauge shotty, a .38 little chief snub nose revolver and my department issued sig 226 .40 This will be my first purchase of a semi pistol. I love sigs, and love that my department issued one. But I'm not going to turn around and buy the exact thing I have now to carry. |

I went with the ruger Sr9c for off duty. It shoots like a champ and is damn accurate. I was looking at a 1911 but ammos too expensive. I'll get +p ammo for the 9, definately enough stopping power. It's alittle too big for a back up though. I'll carry it in my patrol glove box when I get through fto.
