A forearm across the throat doesn't really count as a punch, does it? I've been three years since I actually punched anybody, and I really don't think this should count.
Some people asked me to move this question from ask the experts.I was asking what was thought of the Colt 1991 A1.i got very few replies and they were all positive.I have seen other people ask about thoughts on different firearms and they got several pos. and neg. answers about the firearm.I posted the ? twice and got only a few answers all pos.Most any weapon has faults that someone doesnt like.Thats what I would like to hear.I am not looking for 100 answers just a small crossview.Maybe posters on this site like colts so much they wont say neg things about them.There has got to be something someone doesnt like about them and that could be a reason for me not to buy.
got a question on the sure shot bullets. I have a few that someone gave me for a 9mm. Basically just a little shotgun type of bullet (w/ little bb's in it) I haven't fired one through it because...well I just don't won't it to mess up my gun. Have any of you guys shot one through one of your guns?

Why does the US has so many bases out in the world? Germany, Japan, Greenland or is it Iceland, Korea (I understand. unfinished business) and others. Is it because of N.A.T.O.? If so why aren't there British bases in US? Or even a French base in California [:D]?
To me it basically reminds me of Roman days but globally. I just don't see the need to keep occupying places like in Okinawa. I mean Korea is just up a ways and there is a reason for being there.
So if someone would be kind to let me know why I'd be greatful [;)].
The old front sights resemble the Patridge, which can still be had on more modern guns. They were stock on the K38 (or still are). The square rear face minimized light reflection from most angles. It appears that the opposite shape, with a sloping or 'ramped' rear face, was to minimize drag or snags when drawing the gun, and the face was usually serrated to minimize light reflection.
Speaking of sights, it would be interesting to know the percentage of actual shootouts in which they are even used. At the recorded average of 2.7 rounds per shootout, I would bet that most rounds are gotten off before the gun even comes to eye level. Interestingly, that was Fritz Walther's comment on the way double action Walther semi-autos were intended to be used.
Thanks guys,me thinks..I thought it had something to do with
the elmer keith hold for long distance
I can see where a rounded blade rather than a "choppy"
ramp site but as far as the orientation of the blade,
I can't see where that would make a differece, unless the barrel
extended thru the holster.

Over the years many were, and some still are, carried that way.
Back when my Grandad was town marshall in Eskridge he first carried a Colt Bisley prior to WWI. After the war he carried a Colt 1911. Both were carried in his own hand made version of a bucket holster.

But I posted and answer to jpwolf's post.
He states that homosexuality is learned, a choice or lifestyle, if you will, and that it can be "unlearned".
I say it is inate, you are born gay, and that's that. You can't change that fact.
waht do YOU think
Please, leave the Bible verses and the religion bashing at the door, I just want a simple answer, so this will not get locked or poofed.

Difference in recoil between black powder loads, and modern smokeless loads.
I have to ask, where the heck did that come from? What differance could that possibly make?

Are you saying the old ones have the squared off flat portion of the front sight facing the grip and new ones have it facing the muzzle?
