Smith & Wesson 1911 E-Series - considering for first 1911

That's why we keep a roll of paper towels right there.
I felt kinda bad for him... he got stuck in the middle of a monkeybirthday sitcheeation.
But not *too* bad. He's a dirty Glock lurver, after all.

Thanks for all the advise and your perspective on those guns!
I hope you had a great birthday!

Tomlinsons has a nice selection of 1911's

Sounds like he enjoyed himself regardless and you had to clean up all the drool, so I guess you're even



That would be a good time. We should set something up for the Spring when it's nicer...

Spring......really......boy you got to man the heck up if you start sporting 1911's.........

Unless you can install a heater in the grip, my thought is no...

Hey, 1911 day pic that I posted was last winter. Rather chilly if I remember correctly...

It was about this time of the year.

If it's in the 40's-50's, Tom will usually be ok with that.
He doesn't have as much meat on his bones as the rest of us

What can I say? I work in climate controlled comfort

Now, if someone knows of a nice indoor range that we can gather at, I'm game. Otherwise I'd prefer my outdoor shooting to be done when it's 50 degrees or higher out.

See, Indy knows me...lol!

There are indoor ranges...

Nu uh!

We have two up here in Elkhart Co. I can't imagine there are none down there.

Best one burned down recently.
There are a few others.
Not sure how they would hold up to 15 to 20 1911 sporting ingo folks rolling in the door.

New place in Avon might be cool.

It snows 10 months out of the year up there...you need them.

There might be some truth in that...

Parabellum is pretty cool. Wonder if we could get a time where we get the whole place for an hour or two? I'm sure we could set something up. 14 lanes, so we should be able to fit plenty of INGOers.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

The range in Avon is very nice. Not quite as nice as Beech Grove, but a close second.
If we get there when they open at 9am, there's won't be a line and that shop is friendly to INGO.
They might even block us out an hour or two for a private party if we set it up in advance.

The only thing that kills outdoor shooting for me is picking brass out of snow. I'm fine with cold, but really hate having to pry up brass that froze to the ground when they hit ice or snow. Not to say I won't shoot in that stuff, I just won't like it. Sometimes shooting in snow is the only way to enjoy a rifle in it's element. Each year, my son's and I do a Mosin shoot down at Atterbury when the snow is as deep as possible. There's nothing like shooting a Finnish capture Mosin, prone in snow.

If he waits any longer, I'm gonna have to make a decision FOR him.

See, most men are used to waiting for their wife to tell them what they think about stuff anyway. It gets to be a habit.
