Springfield Armory has a custom shop. Don't know about price though. Might be worth looking into. I thought about having my 1911 springfield done up in a satin black armor coat. Cylinder & Slide will do the slide and frame for 200-300 depending on what finish you do,frame only would probably be half that cost.. Going off web site info.

What type/brand 1911 ?

2002 Camaro SS White Hardtop is a nice combo. GLWS

I was there around noon and stayed for 2-3 hours. Shooting clays is fun. I started when I was very young probably 14 years old using a browning over and under citori and some nice side by sides. My grandfather was a big collector . I'm not has good has I use to be. 1100 Remington 20 ga that would be a good one to buy. Even better a 28 ga but they are a little harder to find and more $$$. Of course this is just my opinion.

Everything went well at the range. After going thru all the basic safety stuff and how to stand,hold the gun etc she shot off her first round with the glock. She did good. Kept the gun under control at all times. After going thru a couple boxes of blazer 115gr we shot the 1911 45 she had no problems with that gun either. The glock gave her more of a snap then the 1911 did which was to be expected. The guy next to us gave her the opportunity to shoot his walther p22 and she really liked that gun. She wants her own now. I shot some hornady xtp 147gr thru the glock and it seems to be a little more accurate then the blazer target ammo. I know I need much more practice with the glock. I can shoot my 1911 much better,but then I'm use to the light trigger and single action 1911 45. I had a few feeding problems with the new chip mccormick 8 round mags for my 1911. The last round was hanging up. If I shot it fast to empty out the mag I had no problems. Only slow firing is when the last round would hang up and keep the slide half racked. Im pretty sure the fix would be a heavier spring in the magazine. All in all a good day.

I had a beagle once,that dog wanted to chase everything that had 4 legs. I have a lab now but he is getting up there in years. I wonder if sunday is less crowded..

Sounds like this place really gets the business. I use to be able to just walk right out my back door and shoot but we now have a home in the way back with kids. I like the idea of placing several targets out at the same time. I'm not sure if I will go saturday or sunday. Do you guys know if they have a bike trail area at the park to ride mountain bikes or just a bike path. I was going to take the bikes with me.

Thanks for the info. i might have an old stand to use if not i might take you up on that offer.

Anyone been there lately ? I was thinking about going this weekend. My wife is going also. This will be her first time to shooting. I think the glock 19 will be a good gun for her first time out.

This is the way classes should be.

That custom colt is a thing of beauty. Like to have more info on it. I had a colt royal blue custom a while back.

I remember taking mine that 10 hours of class time was exhausting to say the least.

I was going to sit outside but they said I had to wait on a table to open,so I stayed inside. Thanks for the compliment.

Ue Unfortunately this is true and I have seen some bad examples.

Yep thats him. I did meet him at CC a while back.

I parked right beside you at the tavern restaurant in powell yesterday. I was trying to locate you inside without looking like I was checking everybody out.

I'm going to look into the 23 Diner. My grandfather is the one actually trying to find a decent place. Walleye is all he talks about so I wanted to find a place to take him.

:lolguy:

Looks like i have a few places to check out. Thanks!

Might have to take a nice drive for this or Brennan's.

I think it is going to be hard to find somewhere close. My grandfather always wants it when we go out to dinner. Someone told me windwards on henderson road has it. Thanks for suggestions so far.

I know someone who owns a silver 70. Not many factory silver made in 70. One of my favorite years. I owned a blue one and a gold one a while back,both 396 cars.

anyone know of one ?

pm sent.

I like this one. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/_DSC4523.jpg
