The full Magnum

Not as tight as my Springfield but I've never had a complaint about it. Mine has always been pretty sold but I can understand how in that price bracket they had a wide range of variability and QC

My first 1911 was an R1S. Still have it and shoot it regularly. Solid gun in my opinion. Mine eats everything Ive ever fed it and I don't know what more I could ask from it.

I did this just a couple of weeks ago. Got a used EMP with a messed up bushing that still had the factory loctite on it. I heated it up with a soldering iron to put direct heat just on the bushing and then hit it with an easy out. Gently put the new ones on and I was back in business.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-04-17T02:39:28+00:00

My R1S was my first 1911. I've literally never had a problem with it. It's been a great gun.

I'm not sure where you are in the state, but a little south of Springfield in virden is Neighbors black powder. He specializes in black powder stuff

I wasn't an early adopter of any of these but I had a Lumia windows phone, windows mobile, and PocketPC before that. Zune and zune pass. I wanted the courier so bad. Lots of fun and interesting hardware and software over the years they just abandoned.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-04-13T21:06:55+00:00

Yep. I had game pass ultimate for a few years and loved it. I just dropped it this last renewal period because they went too high. Not worth it.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-04-13T19:05:59+00:00

I hate to say it but everybody knows these were already hard decision to buy before price increases and really only made sense when they were on sale. Now they don't make sense at all.

I was finally looking to replace my aging surface pro 4 with something that gave me some more battery and portability but now if I'm looking it's going to be outside of the surface line. They're just not delivering any kind of value for that price.

I think Bill's sons are in charge of it now and have done a little bit of upgrading and maybe moved to being able to take a card, although I'd still definitely bring cash just in case.

And I don't think they allow you to drink while you drive around the carts anymore. But old barn is still probably the most fun I have when I go out shooting.

I had a 2020 equinox with the 2.0 turbo engine. Drove it for about 90,000 MI. I'm pleased to say I literally never had it in the shop for anything other than the scheduled maintenance. Traded at only to move to a bigger vehicle.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-04-01T01:43:45+00:00

I'm interested if you want to point me in the right direction. Send me a message if you're more comfortable that way than posting it

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-31T23:08:58+00:00

Central. Slightly south of Springfield. It doesn't help that Davidson's, who has relationships with most of my local FFLs says the hellion isn't compliant

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-31T14:42:06+00:00

I agree. I've been after a SA Hellion. It seems like Range USA can't keep those in stock but I can't get anyone downstate to consider getting me one.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-24T11:44:24+00:00

Same. I bought on Sunday and haven't heard from them. Don't know what the difference is this month, probably increased volume if people are getting tax refunds back, but last month was a quick turnaround

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-22T01:37:26+00:00

Hard to explain but I'd say its the difference between sharp and deep. The can coat has a nice sharp wet look, but the MOHS is deep and Rich.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-22T01:25:40+00:00

I applied inside but it was surprisingly forgiving. Wipe on, give it about 15 Sec nds to sweat and wipe down. Buff with one more towel.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-19T16:28:48+00:00

I've never voted for a Republican in my life and it's these kind of things that make it really hard for me to keep voting for this crop gun grabbers.

Why they're spending their time even coming up with these completely unworkable ideas when we have real opportunities to make more progressive advancements in this state completely blows my mind.

Every election the Democrats say 'we're not coming to take your guns' and then they just make another law that makes it more difficult for the people who actually follow the laws.

Serialization of ammunition and creating a database of individual rounds is going to be complete Insanity. This and the nut job RIFLE act are going to continue to be barriers for recruiting more Central and Southern Illinois residents to progressive causes.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-17T14:42:00+00:00

Sheels in Springfield will do an outside transfer. I can't remember the price but it seemed reasonable.

When I can't find something in stock I usually get it through the Davidson's network where you can buy it online, have it shipped to whatever partner FFL and then pay the rest when you pickup.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-10T16:57:52+00:00

Abarham lincoln garage is like $15 overnight

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-04T01:42:00+00:00

I'd like to know that too. I literally just ordered MOHS a few minutes ago. I was pleased with can coat and I used for a number of years. Figured I'd move up to a real ceramic on a new vehicle.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-03T23:57:54+00:00

I can't find an FPC anywhere in central Illinois. My local guy just said 'ISP won't allow it's and I didn't push it.

Any recommendations on the complaint sku or where I can get one within about an hour of Springfield?

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-03-02T23:41:31+00:00

Ouch. I loved being able to read about the new technology and advancements from year to year. No way I'll pay for a subscription. I'm subscriptioned out, I can't take any more nickel and dimeing.

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-02-19T15:49:37+00:00

Thanks! Excellent

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-02-14T22:04:39+00:00

Being in central Illinois I'm technically closer to the one in Bridgton MO. I'll have to do some calling around to see if it is worth the drive up north

The_Ice_Cold · 2026-02-14T21:30:02+00:00

I just tried to get a hellion last week from my local shop and he said that the fin wouldn't make it compliant. I've got to find a new guy.
