Been gone. Most wont remember me since not here a lot anyway LOL

But.....back in the game.

New toys celebrating "semi-retirement" ....aka unemployed till I pick out a part time job for "mad money"
\:\)


Photo is of the Colt 1911 rail gun I just picked up in 22lr complete with free RWS pellet gun ad in the case LOL!

Picking up a 29-3 Smith, 6 inch with extras and a new Springfield XDS this coming friday.

From pests to bad guys I should be covered.

Should be lots of fun shooting all three! Hoping to NEED only two of the three but......gun in hand is worth 2 officers on the way. Hilljack country but break-ins are more common than I feel comfortable with. Too old to whup azz anymore!!

A couple things I need to pick up. Bad form perhaps,so forgive me but I have a WTB classifieds posted.

I'll probaby be picking you guy's brains again as I plug along.

God Bless
Steve



Thanks for putting up with me and GOD BLESS!
Steve

Hey Steve, good to see ya again. You got a good start there ;-)


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Seriously, I like this so much that I'm seriously thinking of picking up it's big brother!
Something about the feel and the solidity of this handgun is just dang SWEET!

Everyone handling it so far says the same.
thank you, both!

Good to see you back Steve. Nice looking Colt you got there. Let us know how she shoots.

Thanks,guys.

She shoots BETTER THAN I DO..lol. (naturally).

A little issue I'm going to call Colt about. The Gold Cup is the only version with an elevation adjustment on the sights. This one shoots a bit low for me the first few days out but switching ammo just in case. Since a "rail gun",no elevation adjustment.


There are after market sights with such but..dang, rather whine and biotch at Colt and see if they can give me other sights or........something.
