John, a Kimber is one of the finest of the finest. But I think they're
a bit over priced. That is, unless you simply must drive a Rolls
Royce.

But one thing you might add to what you have is a "trigger shoe" No
more than they cost,they can really help your accuracy. about any gun
dealer carries them.

Or get a wide, flat trigger.

Harry, the trigger shoe is a cheap and effective option. I have them
on three pistols and two high powered rifles equipped with them.
10-14$ ea.beats a trigger assembly overhaul, and you can install or
remove in a minute too


I guess. The wide, straight trigger on my CZ was an option when I
ordered the pistol, and wanted it converted to SAO and a light and fast
trigger. It wasn't an expensive option, though, about $30 to $35
installed. My Ruger .22LR has the standard Ruger trigger, a curved
trigger but wide.

These "shoes" don't make the trigger wider than the trigger guard, do they?

I've been thinking about getting a suppressor for my Mark III Target
Ruger. I have to fill out the Class III forms but the suppressors aren't
too expensive.

===============================

Have you ever tried any of the sub-sonic ammo? I haven't and am
curious how much they diminish the "crack" when they are fired.



It's a noticeable difference, but they're still pretty loud rounds. I've
seen demos of suppressors with subsonic rounds, and on a .22LR, the
sound is still there, but it's very soft and does not sound anything
like a firearm.

A suppressor. Whatever for? Oh wait. I'm beginning to see why it's so
important for you to have varmints hanging around your house. Shame on you.

----------------------------------------

I bought a Ruger Air Magnum Pellet rifle a couple of months ago
thinking I could use it for target practice on my property. The
nearest neighbor's house is about 400 feet from where I'd be shooting
and in the opposite direction of where I'd be aiming, so I figured it
wouldn't be a bother to him.

Boy, was I surprised. The damn thing is louder than the Marlin .22
lever action I have. Muzzle velocity is actually higher. 1200 fps
for the standard lead pellets and 1400 fps for the light, alloy
pellets. Very accurate, but it weighs a ton.

Aging minds think alike. I'm interested in the suppressor because
there's an area, a dry creek bed, on our property that is legally
distant enough from neighboring properties, to be used as a target
range. The creek bed is 15 to 20 feet deep where I'd like to set up a
range, and it curves where the backstop would be. Ideal. Except...I
don't want to disturb the neighbors and...the snakes...I am sure are
down there somewhere. :) A suppressor would allow me to use my .22lr
pistol and rifle down there.

If it's not on an authorized range you are not allowed to fire a gun in
Maryland. I suppose hunting is illegal in Maryland as well.

Now I'm drooling. I don't have a .45, but think I need one for protection in case a grisly bear
decides to break into the house.

Congrat's on the 250. But for bear you might consider a .44 mag.

You're most likely correct. But, I can buy a kit that changes this thing from a 9mm to a .45. That
might be interesting!

Oh, and you're right about the Kimber being way overpriced, but it is a work of art.

I just looked, and the trigger on the Sig is about 3/8" wide. Don't think an adapter would be much
better. Same is true of the M&P9. Both have pretty wide triggers.

You'd be surprised. You might take one of the guns to a local dealer
and install one and see how it feels.
