I think my personal best was 15 minutes here in VA. The worst was an hour and a half when the State Police background check database went down......a long time to be listening to BS from the guys at the shop.....all I wanted was my Kimber ;)

I'm just going to copy and paste the email I just got from the Virginia Citizens Defense League. (VCDL is a local grass-roots 2Amndt. advocacy group.) This is what VCDL's president had to say about the Heller ruling: ----------------------------------------------------------------------...

The ruling should be handed down tomorrow (thursday the 26th) morning.

HP are not issued rounds. Geneva convention, and all that. I think Monty's right on the money. Capacity balanced with power. There are much better platforms out there now that cater to a more casual shooter (think Army Reserves and National Guard - not everyone is a superduperDeltaSEAL) and...

Might as well throw up a picture of my Kimber.

No. It's not a primary/carry gun, so I'm not going to worry about it. I just wanted a nice 1911 to shoot. The only thing I've done to it is changed out the flat mainspring housing for an arched Ed Brown. I tend to naturally point a flat MSH 1911 low. Guess I've been shooting too many guns with a...

Awesome Kimber. I've got a newer Kimber Custom Target II. Freakin great gun. Do you like your Wilson Mags? I've got a Tripp Research Cobramag that rocks.

Scott, you're nuts :)

Have you tried Hite Hollow up near Staunton? they have 150 yards. Free, public range. (Donations accepted, tho) and they even allow full auto. Some of the guys on AR15 go up there every now and then.

Funny you're selling your 500A, I'm selling my 590. Meeting up with a guy on Sat for a face to face (legal in VA for residents)

Yeah, I have a guy that does cheap transfers for me. FFL as a second busniess, that sort of thing. He doesn't have a store-front, so I do everything one-on-one with him at his house. No good-ole-boys or know-it-alls trying to preach to me or second guess my choices. Doesn't mean I LIKE having to...

Ahhh...shipping to FFLs, how I hate thee.

cons must not be too much, I did buy one ;) the bad rep is mostly because they had some quality control issues when they changed manufacturing facilities. I have some small finish issues on my weapon (which could be easily attributed to being in the case at the gun shop for a while), but the...

I have a Kimber Custom Target II. GREAT gun. That being said, there are pros and cons. It was down to that or a Springfield TRP. If you get a Springfield, I'd stick with one that was made in the US (IE: some of the Loadeds and all the TRP's). They are expensive, but either the Kimber or the TRP...

That's a really big question. Go to AR15.com and read up on the technical stuff. As with most forums, it's full of asshats, but there is some damn good info in there too. Personally, I'd start with a lower. You can get them stripped or complete. Cruise your local gun shows and see what you...
