 Revolvers: SandW vs Ruger

Yoop: How reliable is the 1911A1 mil spec safetys? I am not sure I trust the safety enough to carry with a round in the chamber and hammer cocked just trusting the safety.

I have to use two hands Using the off hand with full thumb/web inserted between hammer and firing pin to decock, with any degree of safety comfort.

So far it is my intension to stick with weapons with exposed hammers for carry. That way I can hammer cock and fire "IF NECESSARY".

Just bought a full size 1911A1 it's not gonna be the concealed carry but it is gonna be the learn how to shoot semi auto.

(The Desert Eagle .44 is a little rough for learning skills, I'd never owned a semi auto B4 only single action revolvers. The DE is a fist full but I can shoot it fairly well, all 8 in a 3 foot circle at 25yds rapid fire).

I bought the DE to shoot at running coyotes, 50 to 100 yds. (I know a Bushmaster and a large mag might be better).

Me thinks the small Kimber .45acp will be the concealed carry of choice, but I'm not even close to that decision yet.

 Revolvers: SandW vs Ruger

Ya-all r right about the practice. That goes for all of them.

Missed 2 woodchucks tonight with the 22-250 should have been a cake walk. One at 310 yds (shot under) the other at 250 yds (shot over). Did do 2 at less then 100.

Shot the Super blackhawk yesterday 2" groups at 25 yds off hand. The DE and owner did much better with about 20" groups rapid fire. Fired almost 60 rounds thru the DE. Wrists did get tired by end of session. The last two clips had the only jams with the last round. Biggest problem is policing the brass for reloading.

The 1911 is a very nice shooter shot 100 plus thru it. It will make a good home gun. Will work on single fire groups from rest next time. Then try for rapid fire groups off hand.

I have just never figured out how to shoot a double action accurately.

I can shoot the single actions pretty damn good and really like the Super BH. I'm gonna start using it for the less than 100 yd woodchuck shots.

The Desert Eagle is the first auto loader I've ever owned and it took some work to break revolver habits to shoot it fairly well. I've wanted one forever... well almost forever. That has all the stopping power needed BUT I do not think it would be good in a high stress sitituation because of the rock steady hold you need to have it cycle.

I agree with the bushmaster plan. But Im still thinking I can get good enough to do a coyote with the DE.
