Going to the Range today, and thought I would post them.

A couple of Smith's

A modified 1911PD with an external extractor that actuarially works.  This is the only one to have if you just have to have one.  I like the original 1911's with the internal extractor better, but some people think it is a feature to be able to close the slide with one in the chamber.  I personally never have with any 1911 and would never advise it but some do it anyway.

I wish I could tell you about all of the modifications but this is the first time I have ever picked it up.



I will also be shooting one of my favorite firearms a S&W Performance Center 44mag with a 4" barrel.  I will always be a fan of revolvers and will always grab one first over any automatic.

Works of art Eric... and I love the wheel gun - cut my teeth on those too, but work switched to Glocks, so had to give it up (used a Ruger 38 3" barrel).

Thanks O, the 44 shoots great.  I am looking forward to shoot the 45.  They tell me it shoots great, so we will see.

Have a good day O.

The more I look at that 44, the stronger this itch is getting.  I would always bob the hammers on mine (mainly because of how I carried) and that one would look killer done that way.. imho...  also,  a pachmyre grip was a necessity for me.   The barrel tip compensator appears to be interchangeable??

Yes, it is interchangeable.  The compensator may not make any real difference, but it does in my mind and that is all that counts in my book.

Could you recommend a good indoor and outdoor public ranges in Orlando?

I very much would appreciate it.

Well the range we used for qualifying is called Riegs on South Orange Blossom Trail and we would usually go to a local quarry to shoot outside.   But probably the best overall ranges in the area are Shoot Straight (several locations).   Here's their website with info:

Thanks alot.

Now I just need to work it in one of my trips with the girls.  I cann't get married in Disney because it would cut into our vacation time together.  It is tough to be the only man in a house full of girls.
