I heard a dealer telling a customer that Kimber 1911's are the best 1911's on the market bar-none.
I'd like to PERSONALLY invite you to my table!The only dumb thing I encountered was every time I flipped open my wallet, dealers kept saying "yes" not realizing that I have an obvious buying problem.
I know of a guy over on Glock Talk that probably spends $10k a year on firearms... He has a stable of 3-4 dozen 1911 pistols. Many of them are HIGH end full custom jobs.
That guy carries a Kimber....
I had my Sig P-250 "2SUM" that I was shopping around for a potential trade / sale.
Was talking a little with a few guys from one of Indiana's finest firearms retailers (seriously, they are)...but one of the dim bulbs in the employee pack.
Making small-talk about the P-250 "system", I made the comment to the effect of "well, the Air Marshals will be getting them soon, and in .357 Sig."
Ol' boy said "Well, they use that caliber because they want the bullet to bounce around a little inside the folks. They also use a light load so that it won't puncture the skin of the aircraft."
"Uh, no, sir, they use 125gr Speer Gold dots..."
I decided not to even waste breath on the whole bouncing around and puncturing aircraft skin stuff...
Guy really was as dumb as he looked...
*sigh*

OORAH DevilDog!!Yeah I saw the Nazi booth right across from the proud WWII vet selling guns! Pissed me off!!! My father in law beat me to it when we got to his table and said loudly, " I F@CKING HATE AMERICAN NAZIS!" The guy just tucked his tail and backed off alittle, didn't say anything. I don't care who I offend on here or if you feel different about it than I do but keep that bullsh@t out of there. Memerabilia is one thing but that just made me mad.

What did I get. A sore back from carring all of this stuff back to the truck.
But boy was it worth it
