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?

Any good compact 45 recommendations?

I've been looking at getting a Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II possibly

My main wants are small, reliable, 45 caliber, and a good safety.

I already have 2 glocks and they are good for what they are but not good to carry IMO

I just picked up an AIMPOINT Pro fo $368 shipped from Palmetto.

Palmetto has been receiving a lot of my money lately.

so I'm guessing you load them into a magazine, off the stripper clip? I don't get it...

Nice score! That is a pretty damn good deal.

You have to take them off the clips. It would be a lot easier if they didn't load them on clips to begin with.

I have always wondered why they put 5.56 on stripper clips.

I wonder if those clips can be used with any other cartridges? Probably not...

that's kinda what I was thinking... I mean, why the hell else would you put these 5.56/.223 on a stripper clip?

Kimber makes a good gun
Most feed problems with a 1911 come from wore out bad mags,feed ramps that need polishing, or older barrels that have not been opened up for hollow points,wad cutters ect. None of these should be an issue with a Kimber

I'm not impressed with Kimber, not for their prices. I had a friend who had one and it was constantly rusting up, even though he religiously cleaned it. I shot the thing once and it kicked like a freaking donkey. Plus, he had other issues with it (after spending money on upgrade mods) that he should not have had to deal with for the $ he spent on it. He ended up selling it and buying the XD for carrying and he freaking loves that compact CC XD, it shoots just as well as the Kimber (kick wise) with no additional headaches. The best thing about the kimber is people will pay big $ for them so he ended up selling the Kimber for what he paid for it.

My two dream handguns:

1. FN 5.7x28 pistol
2. Sig Sauer Scorpion carry. This gun is beautiful.

One of these are being bought next year.

Must have been a bad day in the Kimber tool room.Ive shot many a 1911 Kimber without any problems. Never heard of any gun rusting up that was cleaned & oiled properly.
Their is a break in period on new auto's. I would never suggest anyone buying a used 1911 with out knowing what to look for, as in wore out parts
