Make joke about broken heritage rough rider and what do I end up with today?
Two HHRs, and one of them is basically broken.

Out of curiosity, why not? Carrying something other than a gun for self defense is sort of like picking up a pair of pliers to drive a nail. It can work, but it's not exactly the best tool for the job.

Not the guy but I never could convince Mom to carry until the grandkids came along and She asked me what kind of gun I recommended. Was genuinely not worried about herself, and I and the other kids couldn't convince her otherwise, but grandkid maybe being hurt got her asking about and shooting .380's and 9's. Some people are weird that way.

9mm 1911...
Blasphemy or blast happy?
Guess I'm going to find out.

I'm of the mind that if you're going to go for a traditional single stack 1911 it needs to be chambered for either .45 ACP or 10mm, with .38 Super also being acceptable. If you're going for a double stack 1911/2011 then 9mm, 10mm, or .38 Super are the way to go. I love both my Dan Wesson Specialist .45 ACP and my Staccato P 9mm. If I were to get another 1911 based pistol it would probably be in 10mm Auto, but I would make sure it's one designed to hold up to the hot stuff without cracking or battering itself to pieces as many of the older 10mm 1911 are known to do, like the original Colt Delta Elites.
 
If anyone cares, I took your advice and avoided the jet sig. Now I'm waiting on tax stamps for a b&t tp9 sbr and the can. I also have a gigliotti trigger that needs installing because 11lbs is an affront to God. Probably going to go with an acro and a holosun iris 2 on a knockoff Hydra mount for optics.

The 9mm version is also easily tolerable by the target market of "your mom, your wife or your girlfriend."

Whatever they're most comfortable with is important. If they don't like 9mm recoil they're going to not want to ever practice with it. 380 with Lehigh defense Xtreme defender ammo leaves brutal wound channels.

Also, I don't know why, I'm not a French lover like Ian, but God the famas is so aesthetic

There are just people you will never be able to convince to carry a gun until something REALLY bad happens to them unfortunately. If we take a gun off the table, pepper spray or something like that is probably the most effective thing for a woman to carry. Tasers are fine don't get me wrong, but use of them and the possibility of missing and it then becoming useless is a real concern. Provided you don't cheap out on your fucking pepper spray it's probably the best idea for them.

My Delta Elite is a 2007 manufacture gun, so you're gonna have to get one after CZ took over to actually get a good one, imho. However, the "newer" run of Delta Elites do have the frame relief cut where the frame rail is removed just above the slidestop, which is where they were known to crack. I think that all new Colt frames .45 or 10mm have this relief cut now.

This is my second 1911.
One of my first ever pistola purchases was a Colt 1911 in .45 .

The DOJ is not doing well. A man was charged with having an "unregistered short barreled rifle" in the form of a braced Scorpion pistol back in 2023. The DOJ was petitioned to drop the charges pending the ATF being slapped for choosing to view pistol braces as stocks.

Not only did they double down, but they also charged him with carrying a pistol without a license in the District of Columbia. So it's now both an SBR and a pistol in legal filings. Government is seemingly going full retard on many fronts at this point in time.

It looks pretty sweet, especially with a stock 65 degree safety. I'd definitely pick up a Glock AR grip if they sold furniture separately, they would give Magpul a run for their money.

It just looks like it's part of the geometry of the lower, it looks like they have an ambi bolt catch above the magazine release.

Hmm the Glock AR will probably START at $2k.

Meanwhile I'm thinking about a GetGrip Gen 3 Glock frame.... Same guy who designed the PSA DAGGER frame, just more rounder and no finger groove.

I think the Dan Wesson Razorback is solid with little need to change anything at all aside from maybe the sights. The Springfield Armory Ronin also is a good 10mm platform, but its lower MSRP means one probably will end up installing higher quality small parts. All told I bet one could go either way and come in at around $1900 for the pistol, customization, a few extra mags, and a holster/mag pouch combo.

I forgot to quote it but I do think that pepper spray can be a decent self-defense tool for someone with some training and understanding of its caveats. Definitely it won't stop a fight as quickly and as certainly as a firearm and well-placed shots but one is wise to not to underestimate it. I've been sprayed before in training and being a young retard and while it wasn't a light switch type of effect on me it was only seconds before I was definitely not a threat to anyone outside of arm's length from me.

Don't know how to dl xitter vids, but here's another 320 that just oopsied. Witnesses there are swearing up and down he didn't have his hand on the gun at the time of discharge. It was allegedly in a T1C OWB holster and was (maybe) an X5 legion with an aftermarket barrel w/ comp and maybe different grip module, the parts changed shouldn't have anything to do with random discharge, though again, this is just according to someone who was in the class where the discharge occurred. Ben Stoeger has also posted about it on Instagram and his YouTube. In Ben Stoeger's video on this he mentioned that Chicago has banned it from being able to be carried by their police due to safety concerns. As well, just recently the OKC PD have switched from p320s to HK VP9s due to a p320 that went off at a school playground in December. It may be banned state wide there too.
Now cops aren't known for being the most safe, but whatever the truth is, this is severely going to be harming Sig's bottom line as more and more police departments move to safer platforms.

Ruh RoH shaggy, I think we're about to see the P320 get deep sixed....

I have a feeling the P365 Fuse will be spun up to replace it and the P320 will be out of production in less than 18 months..... Or the only version left will be the manual safety models.

SIG will probably try and salvage the magazines but may have to redevelop a pistol to replace the P320 eventually. Talk about a once in a generation fuck up.

Meanwhile Glock, H&K, Walther, and S&W are sitting pretty....

The P320 will likely remain in production because of all the Armed Forces who have (unwisely) adopted it. Commercially, they'll axe any model that isn't the m17 or m18; at least that's how I see it.

Starting to think the P250s entire bloodline is cursed.

It's been happening to those, as well. This guy is putting the work in, though who knows if that's the only issue.

They can always return to the P250.
 
I believe i will go crow hunting tomorrow morn. They are most active around 7-8AM on my mountain. dubious on whether i'll actually get one because they are crafty bastards but its always fun to get out on the mountain and have a hunt. Turkey is also in but i don't think I'll try for one this season. maybe in the fall. There is a huge gobbler i could get pretty easy as i know the pine he roosts at but i have grown fond of watching him pluck dandelions in my yard. Spring squirrel starts soon so i need to get back in the swing of things for that as well.

If i get a crow I'll post my trophy. Fantastic animals to hunt, very intelligent. Nasty nest predators though, almost as bad as coyotes. Population control is essential to maintaining high Turkey, Grouse and Quail populations.
