    I do think you and I could write a book of doing without to get where we are. I think you may have seen pictures of some of my collection???
    I have no regrets, only that do not have more.
    Unless someone in particular has been to my home and laid eyes on this.... I know and it is all but impossible o relay the word!
    I've seen rednecks collection personally

    I do think you and I could write a book of doing without to get where we are.

    Most wouldn't believe it, based on my observations of much of today's work force. I still do 10-14 hour days routinely. Then again, I ALSO do days where moving more than 20' in a day just ain't gonna happen...lol I've a feeling you did much the same.


    I think you may have seen pictures of some of my collection???

    Only SOME of it.....dang it! If you weren't so far into enemy territory, I'd sneak up there for a look in person!

    im not making personal attacks on a forum about firearms, am I sarcastic? yes, but you seem to be the one with the attitude here, get a drink of ice water or take a walk or somethin' esse.

    I'm not trying to be mean, or anything, but I just don't think this forum is probably suited to, or for your personality. You might want to think about finding one that is more suitable to your liking.

    And maybe also work on your manners, since they suck!

    Back when I did stand-up comedy (for a short time, very unsuccessfully) I could have used a comedy writer as good as you. :)
    Sometimes I just think funny things. It makes people want to know just what is So funny?
    I sometimes say that I was alarmed at what I saw in the mirror and I just figured it out. OR... did you just see THAT? and pause then say neither did I! then frown...
    I am not naturally funny, I was born warped.
    If one cannot find humor in yourself then you do not deserve to laugh at others.

    Some TGT members think their sh!t dont stank, butt it does.

    Just ignore them and hang around, it'll get better.
    WHO is Rich??? Certainly NOT me and I don't need any help maintaining brokeness!
    Today I found a Winchester Model 1886 in .45-70... had just enough Pesos in my pocket and gas in my Jeep to get home.
    Spend it Like you have it!
    Cry later.....

    Wrong answer, boys and girls. I specifically asked for your reason(s). Not mine. I know what my reasons are.

    I am probably late to the game on 1911's compared to some! I was never in the military so I never had that particular exposure to them, but was introduced to them by a former Marine friend of mine who owned a gun store, over thirty five years ago.

    I have enjoyed the platform ever since. Have been on the quest for the "perfect" 1911, ever since then as well. I haven't found it, but what I did find is that interests in 1911's ranges a LOT! I just love a good 1911, regardless of whether it's total custom built, to an old military war horse of a 1911. They are just a great pistol platform.

    Excuse me, but we normally capitalize Marine.
