That came very close to being my first pistol. But with the combination of availability and timing with respect to expiration of pistol purchase permits here I ended up with a Colt Gov't Model in 9mm.Just got a Springfield Armory Champion Range Officer 9mm
Yep, they got bought by Cerberus/Remington in 2012, and was gone by 2015. That's also when I bought the Black Ops, it's a lot of gun for the money.Crap my first 1911 was a Para Ordnance, Big Hawg 14.45. Didn't know they went out of business!
Just got a Springfield Armory Champion Range Officer 9mm and currently building a Polymer 80 with an L2D slide. I'll get some nice photos later on.
Norm, that's how I feel about my eyes. With a pistol, I can focus on the sights or the target, but not both. With a long gun, it's pretty much just the front sight or the target. The ghost ring on my Henry Small Game Carbine is about the best iron sight I've got anymore....It's even harder to put front sight, rear sight, and target all in any semblance of focus at the same time with a camera.
My eyes are just plain old.Norm, that's how I feel about my eyes. With a pistol, I can focus on the sights or the target, but not both. With a long gun, it's pretty much just the front sight or the target. The ghost ring on my Henry Small Game Carbine is about the best iron sight I've got anymore.
Speaking of that pistol, something rather unexpected happened a couple of range days ago - the little red light pipe fell out of the front sight leaving me with a ghost-ring front sight. And after it happened I actually shot a little better, so I think I'm just going to leave it this way.
