Off Season Lets Talk Guns, Part 2

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?

I've seen a couple of them fail spectacularly at the range. Seems like there are a lot of lemons out there now. While I'm sure a good gunsmith could clear up any issues, a gun that expensive with that brand name should run correctly out of the box, and a lot of them just don't.

I've kicked around getting one for a long time, but no more guns this year was my trade off for going to the AFC Championship Game.

I love my EMP. It's my favorite handgun by far.

But keep in mind it's not a true 1911, and won't take 1911 mags or parts.

I'll usually either carry either my CZ 75 compact or Glock 19 when I'm in the city - I like the more bullets part. But for around the neighborhood, where I'm not concerned with running into terrorists or rioting mobs, the C3 is just fine.

Yeah if I can own a Glock at almost half the price of a Kimber that has zero issues...talk about quality control issues

I know several people who shoot competitively and spend big money on guns - like $2,000 and up. Sometimes way up. They generally go with STIs. I don't know anybody who runs Kimbers.

Yeah. I don't blame you..In Chicago I would totally agree. My personal philosophy is if 14 rounds can't get me out of a hairy situation (off duty) I am in the wrong

They are fairly cheap but I have had good luck with RIA. I bought a GI version to just “have” one, and that ****er shoots good. Straight from the box that thing was a good pistol to shoot, and over the years I have slowly upgraded it some. It’s actually a pistol I carry almost full time in the winter, when I have a little more clothes to help cover a full size 1911. The gun has never failed me, never gave me any trouble, it’s been an all around good pistol.

That being said I also have a R1 Enhanced from Remington, and I ****ing love that pistol even more. I was able to score it for $300 from some guy who didn’t know he had a $700 pistol, that his dad left him.

Whatever you end up with, make sure the loading ramp is polished. It will help with making sure it loads. Most guys who bitch about 1911 don’t have a polished ramp and try to run hollow points and it doesn’t work since they were originally designed for FMJ.

Nice! I have been considering this one pretty heavily.

I don’t think you would have any problems with that one. Reading the description of it, it sounds like a good one.

You will definitely have to let us know what you finally get.

I don't think Chicago has type restrictions - most of the cops I see downtown carry Glocks, but some have Sigs or other models that I can't identify based on seeing the grip sticking out of a holster in passing. Hell, I've even seen a few that still carry revolvers.

Most departments that don't issue have a list of manufacturers and calibers that are acceptable. I have never been a wheel gun fan, but you can't deny they will ALWAYS go boom. But capacity and reloading time have always been a deterrent for me.
