So right! RR7

The fist time I shot it I had a 3 shot group this size of a man's heart at 25 yards. That's good for me.

rangerider7

Grizz you are right, that's the reason they made it that way. The Kimber will stay at home for awhile and carry the Nightmare. It is easy to hide and I like the rounded butt on the carry model. RR7

rangerider7

Thanks guys, my wife and I are appreciative. You members are the best. God Bless!

I just traded for another 1911. This time it's a Sig Sauer Nightmare Carry 45 auto. I traded 2 1970s Ruger Blackhawks for it. I saw it at a local gun store and knew they were a little hard to find. When I picked it up it felt so good I told him I would be back to trade. It's new and comes with a mat...

My prayers and thoughts are with you Tycer. God Bless, RR7

I'm just letting y'all know because I have not been as active as usual for the last few weeks. She had a long illness but went to the Lord peacefully. We had her funeral yesterday and it went beautifully. God Bless, RR7

rangerider7

Took the kimber out today and shot three clips the size of a small plate. I thank it will do fine.

We are the top predators of the chain but we do have the ability to reason, use it. My final words on the subject. RR7

rangerider7

Being outdoors and putting you ability against the prey. We are the top of the chain as predators. Have hunting ethics and enjoy life. Don't have the idea of kill anything that moves but have an ethical attitude. That is my two cents. RR7

Dove hunting is a party. They are crop eating pest. It just takes quick movent of the shotgun. Just have fun!!!! RR7

rangerider7

wow!!!! RR7

When I tell my doctor my shoulder hurts he ask me what have I been doing to make it hurt. I tell him and he says " Well don't do that "!

It worked today!

This is not much but fun to research. As I have said before, any authentic Texas Ranger item is hard to find and I welcome them all. This is an unfinished Ranger Daily Scout Report by Texas Ranger G.W. Chapman. The reports are hard to find because they were sent to the Adj. Gen. each bay during the ...

I can't get it to send a photo copy to the forum. RR7

Bullard4075 I got 8 rd 45 acp Kim-pro tac mags, they seem to work fine. The stock one was terrible. I have wilson's for my Springfield Armory.

rangerider7

It shoots and carries well. Good to see your back Pitchy. I'll shoot my stainless Springfield Armory 1911 probably a lot more. This one is to carry. I'll shoot it enough to make sure I can hit any varment, two or four legged. RR7

rangerider7

Now that is funny!

rangerider7

Don't get me wrong, the marlin worked but not very well with shorts.

rangerider7

30wcf, yes you are correct. I traded a Colt DS, the Marlin and some contemporary spurs for all three. I am still wanting a Sig Nightmare 1911 and that probably will do it. Strange how you get on different trends after you have achieved certain goals in collecting but these pistols are for using. I s...

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_9052_zps2ca61e1b.jpg I have always had trouble with my old "97" Marlin so I traded it for a carry 1911. The marlin was a good feeling rifle but would sometimes with certain 22 ammo fail to eject. The Kimber Pro Custom Defense Package...

Here is mine. RR7

I usually don't recommend shows or books on a forum but I am. "The Bridge" is on FX TV. It is about LEOs on the Mexican border at El Paso and Juarez. Put the kids to bed before you watch it. It is on Wednesdays at 9:00 pm Central. The book is about Texas Ranger Doyle Holdridge and his work...

Count me in, it is better than most these days. RR7

rangerider7

I have a Polaris Ranger 2005 4X4 and the battery is out. The dealer wants 129.00 + tax for a new one. Has anyone got a Walmart etc. battery that would work?

rangerider7

Great job! I have a 53 32-20, it's great. RR7

rangerider7

Prayers to you. God bless!

rangerider7

You are right. That 1911 is not mine. It was the one in the photo just for display when I bought it. I would carry this one. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_8931_edited-2_zps08d98b96.jpg I think "Lone Wolf" would raise up out of his grave a say "now your talkin...

It is well made and lined but so much bling. I don't know, I haven't even wore it out to the ranch y...

Nice looking. Lets see you rig. RR7

Birdman, the BBQ is coming up when dove season opens. On the 864 acre ranch, leased for hunting, all the hunters and families come to have all kinds of BBQ. We bring our unusual, antique or fancy guns to have contest or just admire. It is fun and educational for the young ones. We do it again on the...

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_8955_zps1403f355.jpg This is the holster I got for my 1911s. It was made for Texas Ranger Doyle Holdridge. After doing a little research I found that Doyle was stationed mostly in Laredo, Texas and patrolled the border from El Paso to Brownsvi...

rangerider7

The 4 3/4 and 5 1/2 inch Colts are much more handy to carry but the 7 1/2 is a little more accurate; but if you're not getting a New Frontier Model with adjustable sights to hunt with I don't see the reasoning for a 7 1/2 inch these days with smokeless powder. Just my 2 cents. I have all three in 1s...

rangerider7

I think Udy your guess is pretty good. Maybe someone on the forum that lives near the border can tell you more about them and if they are still being made, I don't venture across any more as I stated above. There are a couple of things about why I don't go across anymore that I will keep to myself. ...

I bought a pair in Matamoros in 1965 for a 1911 I had then. A buddy of mine got them stolen out of his car that we had taken to "boys town" by some local Brownsville kids and the Matamoros police caught them. We went to the downtown police station to get my grips, some money and a radio th...

oldtradingpost.com has some for sale and so does Ebay. The mexican or sterling silver and gold are pricy. The less expensive ones are made of nickel, german silver, or alpaca. I'm not sure when the first ones were made but probably around right after the turn of the century. Most were made in Mexico...

That is an Aztec emperor and Aztec Calendar in gold. There is an interesting story behind both but I will leave it...

Thanks CaptainFinn you found the source. They offer even a better deal. I still haven't decided if I'm going to get one but I might. RR7

I stopped by Jackson Armory in Dallas yesterday on the way home. They carry nice old guns. I looked over at a rack of well used 1911 Colt 45s. They were made by Colt and sold to Argentina Police Departments. If you are interested in 1911s you probably are familiar with these. Some had been re-blued?...

It feels, looks, and shoots like an old blackpowde...

pwl44m, I like yours better. Call me crazy. RR7

I started out carrying a 1911 45 but as time went on I switched to a DS Colt snub 38 (weight). I'm back to a 1911 these days. Times are a changing. RR7
