I'm not telling you the only thing I can do lefty.

[zp4ja]

Not following you Jerry D. Just pointing out personally besides basic hand use, cannot use a handgun lefty unless I have to. Left eye dominant makes me shoot all long guns lefty, no exception. First pistol that felt good as a lefty is all I am saying. Vague comment but assumed you are responding time my post. ..

[quote="zp4ja"]Thanks Gents, she is a fine firearm.

I took it out to the desert this last weekend to make some noise. My phone camera is not working so I have to get some pis this weekend.
Silhouette at 50 feet. Center mass aim, pull trigger again after recoil drop, so 1 second or less between shots. 3 mags, 7 rounds each, all hit paper with 2 out of the black. With 230 grain balls, any would be devasting even non center hits.

Slim feel and great grip. Nice action, handsome gun.

I am right handed and left eye dominant. Only thing I do as a lefty is shoot a shotgun or rifle. First handgun I ever owned that felt comfortable shooting lefty. No "Ambi" levers so really not pratical for this one but nice to know it does well as a lefty.
........I was beginning to think I was the only person in the world that was this way!!!......I do EVERYTHING right handed except shoot!!.......I recently tried with a pistol and I can shoot it right handed but I still shoot the pistol better left handed also!!!................. ...................

I see now I was a bit (whole lot) unclear. I was just trying to say I am grossly right hand dominate and there is only one thing I can do with my left hand.

[philco]

I too am right handed but left eye dominant. I shoot right handed but have to close my left eye to be able to sight down the barrel of a shotgun or handgun, or see through a scope on a rifle. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I've never been a great shot with a shotgun.

[Just Plain Dave]

That left eye dominate thing is pretty common. My best friend has that.

Won't matter to me. No pistols or shotguns around here....

I afraid to ask why it is that I seem to be the only one in tune with Jerry's sense of humor.

Charlie I got it too, but sometimes the best way to handle a post like that one is to treat it like you would if someone accidentally farted at a funeral. You just pretend to not notice.

I was afraid to ask...

[jerryd6818]

I am appropriately chagrined.

Ken,
Not real familiar with that manufacturer. I looked up PMR and it says Kel-tec. They look like they make some interesting firearms. I assume that is a PMR-30? Look forward to your review on the gun. Just looked up the specs and it says 30+1 capacity with flush fit magazine in .22 Magnum. Price looks pretty good also. I normally like to stick to more common catridges but I am tempted at that one.

I don't have any good pics yet, but yesterday I went to my local gun pusher and picked up one I've had on layaway for a little bit.

A JM stamped Marlin model 1894 .44 mag! Woo Hoo Bamby better watch out next year. I have a 1894c (1979 model) .357 mag. This one will compliment it right well. I'm a fan of the 1894 Marlins with their straight stocks, square levers, square bolts, short barrels and light!

Now that I see the price of .44 mag ammo I KNOW I have to get into reloading. As soon as the weather clears I'll get y'all some good pics.

[zp4ja]

Sounds nice Wade. Look forward to the pics.

Finally got some pics on my new Springfield Amory 1911-A1 Mil-Spec. Man I reall am liking this gun. Not too heavy, not to light. Not much of an SS guy when it comes to guns but I do like the two tone with the "brushed" matte on the countours including top of the slide and the polished flats. No too shiny either. Beautiful gun, slim, shoots very well and just feels like part of your hand when I grip it. This may well be my carry when I get my CCW here pretty quick. Personally like a full size carry myself. In fact now that I think of it all my slide guns are full size.

Also, for all you .45 ACP guys, Winchester makes a .45 round called "WIN 1911" that are shown in the pics. It is a 230 grain hollow point. Normally only see .45 ball ammo in 230 grain. Heaviest .45 HP I personally have ever seen. All the others I usually ever see are 185 grain HP. They cost about 1 dollar per round but I would hate to be on the recieving end of it.

Merry Christmas All. Regards, Jerry

[Just Plain Dave]

Dam nice looking 1911!!!

[Colonel26]

Jerry, all my hardcore 1911 buddies swear that the Springfield 1911 is the best mass produced 1911 on the market. That comes from gates who EDC Ed Brown and Wilson Combat guns. It sure is a looker.

[zp4ja]

Thanks Dave! She is pretty sharp in my opinion. Icicng on the cake as a good looking gun that doesn't handle, shoot and feel right is not for me. My Glock 21 is not a pretty gun but with 13+1 capacity and 8 factory mags, fill a niche. Trench gun! This one is more elegant as far as feel and handling.

Thanks Wade! Good to know as I am a novice 1911 owner, my first one. Did some reading up on reviews/ forums like I always do before dropping substantial dollars on a gun and did not hear anything bad. All good reviews.

Wow, Monk, nice one! Great pickup! Nice piece. As for the ammo, just personally never seen it but I only bought my first .45 Glock 21 last year, so never really paid attention. More into 9mm and wheel guns prior to that. Good to know. Thaey ain't cheap I will say that.

Regards, Jerry

[big monk]

Better be careful Jerry, them 1911's are addictive --- found out too late,myself ****

[philco]

You fellers are sure sporting some fine lookin 1911s. Not a bad one in the bunch.

Here's a 9mm CZ Model 75BD that followed me home from a recent trip to Cabella's. It is a used gun but looked to have been well cared for. I had a Cabella's gift card courtesy of my health insurance company so I didn't have to plunk down much of my own money to make it mine.

[Just Plain Dave]

I've always liked those Philco! But to own one is MOST unlikely!

[JEARL]

You talking my language now 1911's
