These DW 1911s from CZ make me feel good about where Colt went. Looking forward to seeing the CZ Colt 1911s..

WooHooie ! A week long cooler patch of weather sliding in here ! Think I'll make the 3hr drive up to camp this weekend and get a turn in at grass mowing. Run the trails on my ATV, shoot sumpin' and make a few beers disappear as the day gets quiet.

Ambi safety (some of us need that), round butt magwell. Trigger looks different than late models I've seen too. Seems about perfect to me...

Just got back from wandering around a bit. Went on a road trip to Washington D.C. spent a bit of time in a bunch of states. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia... Seems like may be forgetting one or two but... On way back, decided to stop for lunch. Found a red lobster in a place called Washington Pennsylvania and decided to head there. A little east of there saw a billboard advertising Ace guns - largest store in Pennsylvania. Had to stop in and see if they had a Freedom arms 97 in stock so could check one out. They didn't have one; but i did notice a couple display only holsters from a guy named Doc who apparently hangs out in Pennsylvania. Never crossed my mind. I bet we were probably fairly close to multiple forum members at one point or another on the trip.

I believe the new valors come with the ambi safety and the upgraded magwell. I am looking to buy one. That one looks good. I wonder what the price is, and if it is available.

Catching a last minute flight to Denver to be with the youngest Son. He was headed home night before last when he got mugged and robbed. Spend several hours in ER getting X-rays a d stitched up then booted back out the door. Luckily no skull or facial fractures just stitched and concrete rash on the side of his face, black eyes and nose that looks like it might be busted again along with one hand from getting stomped.
All for $7.00 in cash. Most helpless feeling in the world is seeing one of your kids hurt and you being 1200 miles away. I’ll stay with him for a few days, clean up the dried blood in his ear and cuts and hopefully take his stitches out before I head home next week. Unfortunately he just switched jobs so no insurance so he didn’t even go directly to ER out of fear of cost of the visit. Had a friend drive him home then next morning when he could look in a mirror he realized he better go get seen.
Have to admit my first thoughts was where did it happen and what did they look like so I could spend time looking to do something I shouldn’t do. Luckily his need for help pushed those thoughts to the dark places in my head.

So sorry this happened to your son. I can only imagine the feelings a father would have to see his son hurt so badly. People who hurt and rob another innocent person are irredeemable in my opinion, and should be removed from society permanently. My opinion has been formed from a lifetime career in law enforcement and corrections. I hope your son heals completely, both physically and emotionally.

Robb, sorry to hear this. I know how it feels to have something happen to your child and you can't get there immediately. I think I know what you were feeling. Good luck to your son that he heals completely.

Best wishes that your son will have a speedy recovery. Yeah, revenge is not going to make things better. When I found out my son had been raped by his stepfather I went through some of those feelings. To this day I consciously avoid finding out where he is now; I don't need the temptation. My wife reminded me that Mitch needs me more as a father than as an inmate. At least Mitch's mom kicked the bastard to the curb when she found out, but of course that was far, far too late. Thank God he had the guts to speak up before his siblings (by the stepfather) reached the age when the bastard might start in on them too. I hope there is a very, very special place in hell for people that rape children.

Wishing you, and your son a full and speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear it, Robb. You need anything, you have my number.
Airshow starting up today in our town. Jets flying low and rattling the windows.
I forgot for a minute about the airshow, so went outside to check and see if these were USA jets, lol!
