That Colt Model 70 45 ACP is an awesome pistol. I have several 1911's. They can be a bit finicky on what ammo to use with them and you must grip them firmly. Once you get them dialed in with what they like they are as good and reliable as you can get. The 70 has a different safety mechanism than the newer 80 series from Colt. I think the 80 series is supposed to be safer somehow.

As as far as a .40 cal it is a good round but I've never seen one in the 1911 style pistol. I'm sure someone makes one but I don't have any experience with it. Typically you see the .40 in some sort of Double Stacked Magazine from Glock, SIG, or Springfield. All of those mentioned are great but I personally have never owned anything but Glock in those mentioned above. I don't own a .40 but it is a powerful round and will do a lot of damage. Shot placement is key with everything.

In my opinion if you are going to conceal carry the G17 is a bit large. The G26 would fit the bill. You would really just need to find what pistol you like then take it to an indoor range that sells Holsters and see what is most comfortable to you. I know people that carry a 1911 inside their waistband holster. The 1911 is a heavy pistol and if you want to do it right you have to carry it cocked and locked (Hammer Cocked and Safety Locked). Otherwise it is just a really good hammer until you pull back the hammer.

I used to have a cz75 in 40cal(my first pistol) and it shot great but it was stolen and ill another one someday. I replaced it with a s&w sigma and it was crap, long hard dao trigger pull without a crisp break or reset and I could only shoot a box threw it since it hurt my hands. I sold it and the guy seems happy with it. i think the 40 has a jumpy recoil and ill stick to 9mm and 45.

i agree that the 17 and 1911 are both heavy and not suited fer most fer concealed carry.
the 1911 will need to be cocked to fire. in a :pokinit: hit the fan situation you might not time to draw and chamber a round.

I really appreciate the input and Wainiha for starting a timely thread.

So for those who may or may not conceal carry on your person, and assuming a G17 is the fire arm, what holster style do your prefer and why?

Gnarls. :gap:

Gnarly, the G17 is a great pistol but for concealed  carry I would suggest looking at G43, G43x, or m&p shield (9 or 45). These will be MUCH more comfortable for concealed carry and I think you will be more likely to carry more often. If capacity is a concern, the G43x holds 15 +1 with shield arms mags.  :twocents:

If you need bulk ammo check out sg ammo.

being that yer in the pxh area you should be able to find ammo since there are a lot of shops. tombstone tactical is a place you should check out.

my father in law competes in IDPA with m&p shields, hes had a few of them over the years in different barrel lengths. hes done a few mods to them like an apex trigger and skateboard tape grips but that is his personal preference.

ive shot them a few times and I have no complaints. the trigger reset is awesome.

There are numerous Thermal Scopes on the market. I personally don't have any experience with them because they can be very expensive. FLIR is what the military uses and are upwards of 5K. My dad has a low end one that has a user manual that is 1/2" thick and was under 1K.  I have seen some that use an externally mounted Light that mounts on top of your scope. These are way less expensive but are way more cumbersome. Google predator tactics or night hunting lights and you can see how they work and mount.

I have one of these mounted to one of My AR's. Super Bright and comes with everything you need. It is easy to use and removes quick. Look on EBAY - 8000LM Tactical Flashlight 501B Hunting LED Rail Scope Light w/ Picatinny Mount. Buy some extra batteries and try it out for way less than a thermal or night vision scope. If you don't like it you can just use it as a flashlight.

My safety is failing.  On safe it works but on fire it has to be nudged back a little towards safe to fire.  Thoughts?

Sounds to me like the the Safety Detent pin is messed up or the spring is bound up in some way. It should be easy to tell. Unscrew the grip but be careful. Gently remove the Grip you should see a small spring that also fits down in the side of the grip and lower receiver. Under that there will be a brass pointed pin that fits into the groove on the safety itself. If that spring is damaged or bent it will feel mushy. The AR15 Safety has a nice click when installed properly. Also if that Brass pin is worn down it will not be as crisp moving from safe to fire.

Let me know if that helps.

Search youtube for this title: "Building Your AR-15: Installing the Safety Selector and Pistol Grip." You would just be doing this in reverse.

most ar platforms are similar. i like a mid length gas system or rifle length. the carbine length has 'more felt recoil' which isnt alot to begain with but follow up shots will be noticeably slower. also with a 16" barrel you will have lots of barrel sticking out of the carbine gas system. looks alot more proportionate with a mid length if that kinda thing matters to you.

365 will be awesome. and due to their popularity you will have no problems selling it if its not right fer you.

p-mag have been reliable fer me. befer you keep it fer security purposes run several mags of ammo threw them so you dont get any suprises. avoid pro-mag.

Gnarls,

Like Ruger said most of the AR's are about the same. My dad purchased a Ruger AR-556 and liked it. He ended up selling the upper and made a 350 Legend. It's Basically a .357 pistol bullet in a .223 cartridge. I have several AR's and assembled several ranging from 12" Pistols to a 20". I think you are from AZ so you may not be able to legally own a AR Pistol. Your best bet would be to get a 16" carbine and get good at shooting and reloading/changing mags quick.

I also like the PMAGS in 20 round and the 30's from MAGPUL they make good stuff.

The cool thing about AR's is if you don't like how it is configured you can change it up to fit your wants/needs.

If the trigger is too hard it's easy to change. Remove a couple of pins and install the new trigger. I have changed every one of mine out to a 2 stage Larue MBT.

If you don't like how the stock feels change it out for one that is more comfortable. The standard grip on the M4 Carbine hits my fingers in the wrong place so I changed them out to the Larue A-PEG Grip.

I know you said you wanted the AR for self defense so you won't need to be shooting tiny groups but in reality hitting a 5-10" target at 100 yards should be easy for an off the shelf AR. I also know Ruger Stands behind their products. My uncle had a .257 Roberts bolt gun that wouldn't shoot better than 2-3" groups with handloads. They ended up sending him another rifle after several attempts to fix the issue.

I don't have any experience with the SIG P365 but have always wanted one of their P220 Series. They make good products! Sorry for the long post.

pistol ar's are legal in az. built several from pistols to rifles as well. i like magpul stuff and like their moe grip. like you the standard m16/m4 grip sucks and never cared fer it from when i was in the service to now. i built a few with houge and bcm gunfighers but prefer the moe grip the best. fer the stock i prefer the magpul str if i want collapsible but i will always have a soft spot fer the m-16 full stock. i always took the cleaning kit out of the stock and put in snacks/jerky/smokes haha.

do not put a pistol upper on a lower with a stock. that is called a short barreled rifle(sbr) and can land you in big :pokinit: unless you have a stamp fer it from the atf.
if you want a pistol ar you can put a brace(fin that stabilizes against forearm) on it to be legal but its made to be fired like a pistol and not to be shouldered.

all our armory staff go to gunsite but its way more expensive then that course.

value depends on many factors. if its rare or collectable they will be worth more.
edit: a co-worker of mine collects 1911s and some are worth big bucks.

if you want to drive up the hill i know a guy that has a few you can check out and see what yer getting into and throw some lead down range.  :wave: :driving:

optics is up to you. i dont have much experience with them since i prefer iron sights. but i know my eyes arent as good as they were and one of these years ill throw a scope on my muzzleloader which i use fer most big game hunting. my 30-06 is scoped but i like the muzzy.

the ar platform is very customizable. dont like something its fairly easy to change it. lots of videos out there that can show you as well.

The Model 70 Colt 1911's are the one to own. You have a fine piece of history there sir don't ever sell it.

I have Red Dots on all of my pistol AR's AimPoint Comp M4 and Sig Romeo 5. The rest have Scopes because I hunt with them. I really got away from the .223/556 because I wanted something I could Hunt with. Best round I have found for that in the AR Platform is the 6.5 Grendel. It will shoot a 120 Grain pill at around 2300-2500 fps and has way more Knockdown power than the 556/223. Academy actually had some of this ammo in stock last time I was there.

I have no doubt if you keep the boxes and never shoot them they will be worth more money than what you paid . Looking at guns is cool shooting them is a whole nother level of fun! Whatever you choose to do: better to have and not need than need and not have.

I wouldn't modify this piece of history at all. If I were in your situation I would try and find a deal on Crimson Trace Laser Grips and keep the original grips. They usually go on sale around Thanksgiving/Christmas. Also try ebay for them.

Yes sir that is correct. The Laser Grips allow for adjustment to sight in at whatever distance you want. These are expensive grips but if you have issues with your eyesight a red laser beam is very easy to see.

I purchased my girlfriend a S&W Airweight 38 Special with the Crimson Trace Laser grips and she went from not hitting anything to all hits in one trip to the range. It was night and day difference for her.

I just use Break Free CLP for cleaning and lubrication on all of my guns. On my rifles I use a bore snake for each caliber to clean the barrel.  It's easy and it works. Any decent kit with a Rod will have brushes for the most common calibers. I would not use a Stainless Steel Brush on any gun Barrel only Brass. Rem Oil Wipes from Wally World work good too but leaves an oily film that i usually wipe off.

I use brass brushes.  I've used Rem oil and/or INOX.

To be honest I am not sure. I ordered a Lilja Match Barrel in 6.5 Grendel and they said " Do not use a stainless steel brush in your barrel under any circumstances." I ordered it in March and just received it so I will follow their Barrel Break in process. I know they know more about barrels than I do for sure.

I don't think 8 months is their standard lead time. I purchased it through a group buy and had to wait to get everyone's orders to meet their minimums. I am happy with the barrel so far. I hope to get it broken in this weekend.

I love the 10/22.
