Dammit, that makes me want a 1911 even more seeing that vid.

Everyone should have at least one 1911! Better yet one of each manufacturer, model and variation there of also.

I agree on the first one. I really want a Kimber Pro CDP II, but just can't justify the price. I just love the blued frame and silver-colored and/or chromed slide look on a 1911 with rosewood grips; so sexy.

You mean like the middle one on the right?

Nope, like this: http://www.gilbertsguns.com/Handguns/Kimber/Kimber+Pro+CDP+II+45+ACP+Pistol

The one you show above has a silver-colored slide and frame; I'm talking silver slide and blued frame. Plus, the one you show has black grips, I'm looking for reddish-wood (rosewood, cocobolo, etc) grips. I do like the rubber front-wrap-around style, though and I've seen them on reddish-wood setups.

So you think the two tone Kimber is better than a custom Colt Officers, polished stainless? Idifferently don't agree. Could have bought a Kimber, but bought the Colt instead. The wrap arounf fits the hand better, at least mine and the wife's.

I never said it was better; I just really like the look of the reverse-two-tone matte finish with the reddish wood grips.

Bear, what vintage are your Detonics on the left side of your photo? They're nice. I sure would like to get one of the older (1970's era) Detonics Combat Masters in hard chrome to use as a back up gun. They just have more character than a3" Kimber or SA.

Good eye to know they are Detonics. The bottom one is a "Seattle" stamped Mark I with a serial number in 1974in thecut, welded and remachined frames and slides series. The top one is also also "Seattle" stamp Mark I made in 1978with an Essex's frame built just for Detonics. We had a Pocket 9, but it was nowhere near the gun the Mark series guns are. Have never seen a blowback 9mm that worked worth a damn.

That one I shot had great hadling except the grip was a little small/short for my hand. Its the kind of gun I've been looking for to CC. I figure a extended mag would solve my polite pinky issue as the bullets fly.

My wife is the only person I ever met that doesn't think the grips aretoo short on the Detonics. But they were designed for the CIA shooters and hiding them was more important the a longer grip.

Proof read everything except the title. Don't it always work that way?

Looks to me like he didn't have it shouldered properly... like it was against his upper arm and not in the crook of the shoulder.

Either that, or when it hit his shoulder, it burst the blood vessels in the shoulder, causing severe internal bleeding.

Either way, not something I want to happen. My guess is it was something like .600NE, .700NE, or .577T-Rex.

I stand corrected... but I'd almost wager the recoil of that thing is near the same as a .600NE (not knowing the recoil of either, other than "ow!")

So where would one find a fascinating toy like this? I need a cannon for my boat.

I keep seeing ones around $9000 that are "closed" auctions, but this is open... got some cash burning a hole in your boat?: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=100011782

I own a boat. I own and shoot guns. I like computers. And you ask me if I have any spare money?

Definition of "boat" - A hole in the water into which one throws money.

The rifle has double set triggers and when he set the trigger BEFORE he shouldered the gun, instead of when he was set and ready to shot, he bumped the trigger (12 oz release) with the gun halfway there.
