Cigar Asylum Cigar Forum - First Firearm Thread.

Been my experience it's best to wait until you can actually get your hands on a gun to cast any sort of judgement. Just from seeing pictures...well, lots of people did only that and went 'UGH' about Glock handguns and Steyr AUG rifles back in the day. Many of them came around a little bit through the years.

My 8th 1911. Giggity! I've always wanted a blued gun, but wasn't really hip to buying a Colt. I'm a Springfield fanboi. Gonna shoot it, then send it to my shop to have a beavertail safety fitted.

Ruger did it first.

No way. Not near as ugly.

Ruger looks like Mila compared to that Remington!!

True. I've always maintained that Remington should stick to long-guns. Their handguns haven't really left their mark. Their 1911's aren't well-made, and now this.

My first thought without even looking past the first page is it seems kinda nonlethal.

Very interesting concept. I used to carry .38 in double projectile load. Less powder and lower velocity but a double hit. Worked great in snubs and played hell with longer barrels. When I moved to a 9mm I used Glazers for a while then the cor-bon +p Shot shell. Now I make my own Gold dots. They are as close as you can get to Black Talons.
