Want to buy a decent .40 .45ACP doesnt have to be the prettiest but the nicer the better. I have $400 cash to spend let me know whats out there and dont worry I dont haggle price tell me what youll give for $400 and well leave it at that.

Also any caliber at all in O/D Green is wanted.

The one we have isn't going anywhere, but I suggest you look around for a Rock Island Armory (RIA) 1911. We recently paid $375 + tax for one. Solid gun.

[edited to correct my mis-remembrance of what the acronym stands for -- shouldn't post unless I can the gun (or a picture) for verification]

You have this a few threads down...

I gotta Raven 25 caliber. Perfect for concealment. I'll take four hundred for it!

mmmmm . . . brian did specifically mention .40 or .45 (unless it's olive drab)

try as they might, .38 super and .25 just don't get there (IMHO)

I was JOKING!. That Raven is probably worth the caliber size.

That sounds about right Ned; you give me $25 and I would be willing to take the Raven off your hands.

.25 Raven. Sorry I dont think I could embarass myself like that. If I need to protect myself I dont just want to make the guy mad but if my friends newborn needs protection ill let her know.

I will open offers to really nice 9mm's

I you were to shoot somebody with that, and they found out......

(with apologies to Jeff Cooper)

Glad I didn't post a pic of it in the "daily carry" thread!

My wife's son also experienced the hammer bite problem. Hasn't affected either my wife or me, but Collin is taller than either of us and pretty solidly built.

but like i said i took a small electric grinder and took care of it in less than 5 min anyone can do it

You can also spend $30 and 5 minutes and install a Wilson Drop-In Beavertail
