I kept my commitment. Just never told her of future plans.
Wish list:
Midwest/Yankee Hill or Troy Quad Rail (thinking of nine inch or so).
Laser
Grip with bipod
Scope - God only knows how many mortgage payments I will miss thanks to that.
Remove handle and add folding sights (Troy/Diamondhead, whatever

)
Light, of course.

I am seriously going to die at wife's hands.

I had read about issues after ordered them and was worried but all is fine.

You've got some fun shooting ahead of you.

If I had not experienced it first hand yesterday, would not had believed it.
I would say it is like the fun of shooting my .380, 9 mm and .45, all at once.
Unreal how powerful, load yet minimal recoil.
Picked up 500 rounds over the weekend. 350 to go.

I was made an excellent offer on this forum that I wish I could have jumped on but this purchase allowed me to meet budget and I got six months same as cash to boot.

FWIW Pmags are preferred by alot of the .mil guys overseas.

Anyone here reload?

emopunker2004 · 06-18-2012, 10:00 PM

I looked into reloading but that'll have to wait a bit for me

Stevez · 06-19-2012, 08:52 AM

Sweet gun! I love it. On my list. I have a Colt Special Combat that I love now, but that Dan Wesson is beautiful!!! Thanks for showing. Steve

While I would love a Colt, I kind of like the Ruger for the price, if you can find it.
Someday. Sooner than my wife would like .

Illinois is getting close to passing HB148, concealed carry, although I think it will be another year or two before it actually passes. Last try I think we were 2 or 3 votes from getting super majority, which is needed in Illinois because our Governor said he will veto the bill if if comes across his desk.. his pockets are lined from the Chicago machine.. Anyways, if it passes sooner, then I'm thinking of waiting longer on getting an AR15. I'll get two glocks in the fall and wait to get an AR later next year. Either way, I'm still hunting around for guns I want

spectrrr · 06-19-2012, 12:42 PM

wow.... never thought I'd see the day IL got close to a concealed carry... Who wants to bet it will still be illegal inside of Chicago? :/

Wouldn't surprise me

We would have had this damn bill passed already, but our brainless but easily swayed by money governor vowed to veto the bill if it came across his desk, thus, super majority is needed.

Nate, but there's also the history of the other 40+ states who have concealed carry and how it turned them into Dodge City; bloodbaths in the streets.

Good luck brother. I feel for you guys from IL.

BTW, nice 1911 Malazan

IIRC, we are the ONLY state that does not recognize the right to conceal carry.

We are so close right now, I have a good feeling it will get passed next time it crosses the House floor. Just a shame we need super majority. Someone told me they will try again this fall.

DPMS Mini SASS and some handloads at 100 yrds will shoot 3" groups at 600 all day long with the same load.
