If I have to fire my gun indoors, the last thing I care about is how loud it is.
And for the record I could go buy a supressor right now at the local gun store. Again I just don't see the appeal.
Fire a .45 indoors and then let me know if a quieter gun for home defense doesn't make sense.
Im still waiting for one from December 22nd of last year (was a dealer to dealer first though). The one i ordered in August (another dealer to dealer) im not expecting till 2015 at this point

Wow!
Well that's good for you. I prefer to take out the intruder AND not damage my hearing in the process.
If you were familiar with NFA items, you'd know you just can't go in and buy a suppressor "right now." Sorry.
Oh.
I dont know if I ever told you but my god parents lived at Marlboro point.
Shrug. Gun store sells them. They are legal here. Never looked into it more than that.
No idea why you are so defensive. All I said was that I didn't see the appeal.
Being legal in your state just means you can go through the process, if you want to purchase it. That's about it. It being available at your gun store just means it's legal, that's it. The reason most people don't purchase these items is not because they "don't make sense" it's because it is somewhat expensive to own, PLUS the hoops you have to jump through to own it. Currently those hoops are a pain in the ass, however with the new proposition those hoops may become walls. And that's the real problem.
I'm not being defense, however your comments don't seem to be well thought out. But let me make sure I understand you correctly, you're saying you don't see the appeal of a quieter weapon?
yeah the December 22nd one is a 762-SDN and i didnt expect it to take this long. My Class 3 dealer had a shipment coming in when i bought it (while picking up my osprey45 lol). So that added about a month if i remember correctly before he got the serial number to send in my form. After that its just been a waiting game.
the other is a thunder beast arms 30p-1 that i bought as a group buy. So they werent even made yet. So ordered it and TBAC still had to make it then transfer it to my dealer. So figured 4 months for all that which puts us around jan for my paperwork to finally go in. based on the 762SDN im not expecting it before the following christmas lol.
doesnt help WA state seems to have one of the slower examiners too
I don't see the appeal of suppressors for pistols.
I don't see the appeal of SBRs.
Please stop trying to change what I am saying. It makes you sound like an illogical maniac not capable of comprehending a simple sentence.
whats NFA?
I have no idea what that rule is supposed to mean.
I have a very dumb question:
What should I know about handgun sight upgrades? Sets seem to be very specific in fitment...is this generally a 'calibration' matter related to barrel length, bore height, ect? Or is physical fitment that widely varied?
I guess, basically, I'm asking if 'dovetail' sights have any kind of standardization, or if the measurements for the physical fitment to the slide are just all over the place between manufacturers and model lines.
I stopped at the range again and am doing better with trigger pull. Still astounded at how I never would've believed I was nearly this bad with a DAO trigger before I started trying to shoot groups on clean paper from 10m+. And that's basically a 'fake' DAO trigger...a real hammer-fired DAO would surely result in even poorer performance.
But I still think new sights would greatly improve my accuracy. The front sight is pinned and seems like kind of a PITA to mess with; also, I don't mine a painted white dot front sight. I would rather just get a 2 dot rear that sits a higher. Don't exactly have a lot of choice as far as sights made for Kahrs, hence the above questions regarding fitment of sights...just want to see if I can find some options.
It is a Springfield Armory 1911 A1... Yes if I'm not mistaken the earlier models did not have what is called the "beaver tail"... I think most all do now... Have to do some research on this...? But would bet there are some 1911 guru's on here that can answer quite easy...?What 1911 is that?
Are there any 1911s without a big tail?

Howndo you like it? I'm assuming the beaver tail serves a purpose but I am concerned about it snagging clothing if I have to draw quick.
Nice collection. I'm not a Ruger guy but I hear they are great guns.
Thank you... Been thinning the herd but improving the bloodline...Howndo you like it? I'm assuming the beaver tail serves a purpose but I am concerned about it snagging clothing if I have to draw quick.

The 1911 is the meat and potatoes gun but the meat can be the best steak you ever tasted... Its not much of a carry type weapon just way to heavy and large of course and yes the beaver tail would not be a good thing to have when in a hurry (worst issue is capacity)... But most are carried in an external holster so this is not much of an issue... Main thing is they are very accurate and reliable and no matter what they are made from they are like well designed tanks... Lot of competitions are shot with these...
Now hold on there Festus this aint the old west any more...:whiste:If open carry was OK, it'd be a 1911 in my holster and a higher capacity 9mm in my off hand side.
