As technology has increased over time gun manufacturers have spent countless hours reproducing classic guns with improved safety features, better build quality, and greater shooting accuracy. Many gun enthusiasts, however, hold reverence for the trademarked look and feel of the original firearms despite the tide of ever changing technology. One gun that remains distinctive and unique despite updated modern features and the passage of time is the Colt 1911 pistol. The Colt 1911 served as the standard U.S. Military issue sidearm from its World War 1 debut on through to the end of the Vietnam War. Featuring outstanding reliability and solid stopping power, this gun was copied extensively by gun manufacturers in the United States and abroad.

The short recoil firing principle of this gun was invented by renowned gun designer John Browning. Browning at the time was working for Colt on an autoloader pistol built around a contemporary .38” cartridge. When Browning heard the U.S. Army express interest in creating a new military handgun, he revised his design to accommodate a .45″ diameter cartridge, and the 1911 prototype was born. The Colt 1911 was one of the first firearms to pass the brutal weapons test of the U.S. Army. This awesome gun survived 6000 rounds of continual fire in addition to complete submersion in acid, sand, and mud, and still fired beautifully!

award for “Grassroots Activist of the Year.” I had no idea I would be getting an award. When the award was announced, I was outside in the hallway doing an interview with CNN (being a grassroots activist). So, upon receiving the award for MSSA this year, I told the audience of my last year’s fiasco, and that this year I was just glad to be in the room for the award. Anyway, MSSA is all of us and I wanted you to know about this significant award. Best wishes, Gary Marbut, president Montana Shooting Sports Association http://www.mtssa.org Montana Shooting Sports Association author, Gun Laws of Montana http://www.mtpublish.com

The NRA, we are told, is keeping a very low profile because of serious backlash by NRA members and others over some recent political compromises made by the NRA leadership.)

reaching all the sheep, so our efforts aren’t over yet.” There are no known vaccines to prevent pneumonia in wild sheep, or medications that can be practically applied to prevent the death of sick individuals. Instead, potential relief lies in protecting healthy animals from exposure. FWP crews now have plans to mobilize efforts to intensively monitor the herd through the fall season and to continue killing sheep exhibiting symptoms of the disease. This means that big game hunters and others can expect to see occasional helicopters monitoring sheep in Lost Creek and West Valley and Blue-Eyed Nellie and Garrity Mountain Wildlife Management Areas this fall. Bighorn sheep. Photo courtesy of CDOW.
“We’re also asking hunters and others that plan to cover a lot of ground in these areas over the next few months to give us a call with their reports,” Vinkey said. “All of these public observations are important to us as we work to get a complete picture of the spread of the disease and condition of the animals.” Vinkey said that twelve hunters drew coveted licenses to hunt bighorn rams in Hunting District 213 this fall, and their hunt will continue. “We have enough rams to sustain the population and that’s a good thing for ram hunters,” said Mike Thompson, FWP regional wildlife manager. “Many hunters never draw a ram license, and most who do may never get another chance. Right now, it looks like we can manage the disease along with ram hunting, and still have enough rams left over for some to survive a full blown pneumonia outbreak.”
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Another 30 hunters drew ewe licenses and were given a chance at a license refund or to start the hunting season knowing that an early season closure was a possibility. Hunters that opted to start the season had a few weeks in the field, and then FWP made the decision to close the ewe season on Sept. 24 after continuing to detect more diseased sheep.
MALTA, Mont. --(Ammoland.com)- Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) officials report that pneumonia continues to persist in the Lost Creek (Anaconda) bighorn sheep population in west central Montana. The usually fatal respiratory disease was first detected in the herd on Aug. 20.
Thompson says that the closure was necessary because ewes are essential to the recovery of the population in the event that a large die-off occurs later this fall and winter.
FWP spent the rest of August and all of September monitoring the Lost Creek herd and killing diseased sheep in an effort to protect healthy animals from exposure.
FWP cautions sheep hunters across western Montana to cook harvested sheep meat well and contact FWP with any questions about the suitability of the meat for consumption. There have been no known cases of humans or pets contracting pneumonia from wild sheep, but FWP cautions anyone who finds dead or sick bighorn sheep to leave the animal alone. FWP also encourages the public to immediately report any observations of sheep exhibiting symptoms of an illness or strange behavior.
“Some of our helicopter surveys in mid September gave us hope that we might have killed enough sick sheep to get ahead of the disease, but as the weeks continue we’re still observing more symptomatic sheep and seeing some advanced cases of pneumonia in the samples we collect,” said Ray Vinkey, FWP wildlife biologist. “We’re also seeing pockets of healthy sheep, which is telling us that there is still some potential to keep the disease from

The NWTF has long supported the North American Conservation Model, including the management of fish and wildlife resources under the authority and responsibility of the various state agencies.
NWTF Adopts Science-Based Wolf Management Position
This support holds true for wolf management, as the Federation believes that state agencies are best suited to manage wildlife inside their borders that are not on the endangered species list.
SEP 27, 2010 02:30P.M. NWTF Adopts Science-Based Wolf Management Position
NWTF Position Statement on the Management of Wolves “The National Wild Turkey Federation supports the sound, science-based management of wolves by the appropriate state agencies. The NWTF recommends that management authority for wolves remain with state agencies when wolves are no longer on the endangered species list. The NWTF further supports our state wildlife partners in their efforts to provide for a sustainable, huntable population of wolves while maintaining healthy, huntable populations of ungulates. This must work in conjunction with balancing the habitat needs and conservation of all wildlife.” About the NWTF: The National Wild Turkey Federation is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage. Wolf Pup, another example of healthy Wolf Populations in need of science based management.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 15.9 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife. The Federation works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events and its outreach programs – Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin’ Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES. The NWTF was founded in 1973 and is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C. According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North America’s wildlife history.

A Whimbrel with the tracking device attached
the equivalent of flying about five days around-the-clock from Boston to Anchorage, Alaska. The small bird was not finished, though. After a two-week rest, he headed 1,300 miles south over the island of Grenada to Suriname, his current location. Although from only one bird, the information received is invaluable, said Brad Winn, a program manager with the DNR Wildlife Resources Division’s Nongame Conservation Section. “Chinquapin is just one tagged whimbrel, but it is important to remember that these are gregarious birds, so it is likely he is flying in a flock,” Winn said. “His movements also represent thousands of other smaller shorebirds that make similar flights from the Arctic to South America and back. “It is pretty mind-boggling that a bird the size of a pigeon can leave subarctic Canada and go nonstop to the beaches of Puerto Rico. It is an amazing journey and it is something to be awed and admired. We don’t know if he will stay at his current site – whimbrels are known to spend winters on both coasts – so it will be interesting to see where he goes.”
Georgia Department of Natural Resources BRUNSWICK, Ga. --(Ammoland.com)- After an amazing journey, the pigeon-sized shorebird has settled down in the remote Coppename Monding Nature Preserve in the South American country of Suriname. The rest is deserved. The bird, a whimbrel, has just traveled more than 4,700 miles, including nearly 3,500 miles nonstop in five days!
The transmitter-toting whimbrels are not only showing scientists the resources they and their kind need to exist, such as seasonal foods and nesting habitat, they are also reminders that maintaining the health of coastal landscapes has implications beyond state lines and even national borders. Whimbrels and many other species of shorebirds are in Georgia by the thousands for a short period each year.
While whimbrels are known for long-distance migrations, it has been unclear how exactly far they fly and where they go after leaving Georgia. Until now. Chinquapin, one of two whimbrels fitted with radio transmitters in Georgia in May, is providing key information about the species’ migration patterns to Georgia Department of Natural Resources biologists and other partners in the study at the Center for Conservation Biology at the College of William & Mary.
“These global migrants visit us on their migratory trek for about six weeks each spring to feast on the fiddler crabs in our marshes,” Winn said. “The energy they get from our crabs supports them during the next 2,000- to 3,000-mile leg of their annual migration. If our marshes are destroyed or become polluted, the crabs will be gone and this vital link in the migratory chain will be lost.
After leaving the Georgia coast, the tagged whimbrels flew north to Hudson Bay in Canada, one of them nonstop. Transmitter data shows that Chinquapin ended up approximately 350 miles west of the bay, below the Arctic Circle in the Northwest Territories.
“We have a responsibility to be good stewards of our coastal habitats for birds that call the entire Western Hemisphere home.”
Chinquapin departed this summer territory for Coats Island in Hudson Bay during the second week of July and stayed there until early August. At Coats Island, he geared up for the next leg of what would become a marathon migration flight.
Whimbrels are a high-priority species in Georgia’s State Wildlife Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy that guides DNR efforts to conserve biological diversity.
During the early morning hours of Aug. 5, Chinquapin flew 600 miles south over Hudson Bay, then continued down the length of James Bay, over Quebec, over Maine and finally out over the open Atlantic Ocean. Tropical Storm Colin was pumping north toward Bermuda as Chinquapin headed south. He appears to have skirted the storm’s cyclonic winds by swinging 300 miles east of Bermuda on Aug. 8. His transmitter beeped next from the beaches of northwest Puerto Rico on Aug. 10 near Playa de Isabela – a nonstop journey of 3,470 miles. That’s
Georgians can help conserve whimbrels and other nongame wildlife, native plants and natural habitats through buying a wildlife license plate featuring a bald eagle or a ruby-throated hummingbird. They can also donate to the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Fund through the state income tax checkoff or online at www.georgiawildlife.com. Contributions are vital to the Nongame Conservation Section, which receives no state general funds for its mission to help conserve wildlife not legally hunted, fished for or trapped, as well as rare plants and natural habitats in

Congressional Sportsmen’s Caucus Fights Proposed Ban of Lead Fishing Tackle
The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA), representing the 50 state fish and wildlife agencies, also sent a letter the EPA on September 2nd urging them to dismiss the petition. State fish and wildlife agencies are authorized to manage most of a state’s fish and wildlife, and therefore, closely monitor and address any local concerns about lead based fishing tackle and any potential impacts on local species. A federal ban on lead fishing tackle is not only unnecessary, but intrudes upon these traditional state agencies jurisdiction.

No scientific basis has been established to warrant any such ban on traditional fishing equipment. A similar proposal to ban lead fishing tackle was dismissed by the EPA in the mid-1990s because there was insufficient data to support such a ban at that time.

Janich’s multi-layered approach goes beyond stored cases of bottled water. He teaches readers how to tap into untraditional water resources and make it safe to drink. Like any other survival issue, the best time to prepare your water plan is now.
American Handgunner: Time For A Reality Check SEP 27, 2010 01:24P.M.
“In addition to drinking water considerations, you should also develop primary and backup plans for water to be used for cooking, personal hygiene and sanitation during a critical incident,” writes Janich.
American Handgunner: Time For A Reality Check
“Assemble the tools, material and knowledge you need and take a few hours to go through the process at least once. In a real survival situation that experience and the confidence it provides could save your life.” Janich’s article represents one of the dozen-plus survival-driven articles in the 2011 Reality Check Special Edition. With the idea that survival preparedness isn’t one-size-fits-all. The magazine features topics such as: • Menu For Survival: A Realistic Approach • Stronghold: One Man’s Plan to Protect His Family American Handgunner: Reality Check 2011 Issue
• Emergency Box: Every Vehicle Should Have One • Lifesaving Modular Kit: Don’t Head Out Without It • Young Guns: Teaching Kids To Shoot • Carrying Concealed: Are You Responsible Enough? • and much more. “If you are like me, you want to arm yourself with the tools, supplies and knowledge needed to survive life-threatening situations,” said editor Sammy Reese. “Our Reality Check Special Edition is a survival guide for the real world.

At the end of the day, you have to decide what’s the best survival plan for your family, but our Special Edition is the best place to start.”
FMG Publications San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- When it comes to planning survival resources, water should be at the very top of your list. It’s a medical fact most people can survive for weeks without food; however, after only a few days without water, some very bad things start happening to your body due to dehydration.
The 2011 Buyer’s Guide, is also included in the magazine. The Buyer’s Guide features 94 pages of guns, knives and more survival tools.

Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- The 2010 Service Pistol Championship match was held at the Lewistown Pistol Club on June 18 -19, 2010. The match was broken into 2 sections, the first being a regular 1800 point possible matches, starting with .22 pistol and then Center Fire Pistols. The second stage was fired with Service Pistols, either 1911 .45 caliber pistols, or Beretta M9 9mm pistols. Either pistol is permitted, but they can only be altered for accuracy and the triggers must be adjusted to a 4 pound trigger pull weight.
Next came the State Service Pistol Championship. This match is fired in a 900 possible point match, just as the .22 and CF stages are fired. This match determines not only the State Champion, but also the members of the PRPA Service Pistol Team that will compete at the National Matches at Camp Perry in July. The members of the team are picked by the top 5 shooters (that are going to Perry) and the 6th shooter is the ―New Shooter.
Outwardly they must look military issue except for adjustable sights. If a person did not want to participate in the Service Pistol section, they could shoot along with a .45 pistol but their score would not be included in the Service Pistol aggregate.
This shooter is a member that has not been on a CMP team in the past. Every year a ―New Shooter must be picked, and that shooter must fire

Pennsylvania Rifle and Pistol Association Butler, PA --(Ammoland.com)- I just returned from visiting a relative in Canada. Since we were traveling to a remote part of Canada, I decided, as in the past, to bring along a rifle and ammo.
We want to commend the Lewistown Pistol Club for their continuing support of the shooters of Pennsylvania! Not only was the match run in a very professional and cordial manner, but the club put together a nice assortment of door prizes with 2 Springfield Armory pistols as prizes!
I filled out the appropriate one page Canadian Customs Firearms Declaration form. When I told the agent at the border crossing that I was bringing in a rifle, he looked alarmed and asked “what for?” “Protection from wildlife” was my response, which is one of the stated purposes on their Customs form.
We look forward to working with the club in the future in this and all competitions they plan! Good Shooting!
“Well”, he replied. “They probably won’t let you in, because you have no need, but drive over to the Customs office”.

When I presented my Customs form I had to undergo a third degree questioning. Then the Customs agent asked to see the rifle (never experienced that before, but certainly a reasonable request). He must have measured the barrel 3 times, and finally stamped the form and let us proceed into Canada with my rifle.

Why Can’t My Rifle Maintain That Perfect Zero? Why Can’t My Rifle Maintain That Perfect Zero?
Remember, in 1929 all German citizens were required to register their firearms, then in 1935, the Gestapo came and confiscated firearms, then a few years later, they came back, arrested some of the prior owners, and killed them, because they figured, once a gun owner, always a gun owner! You cannot purchase any ammo in Canada, down to .22 caliber, without a license. This is European, Progressive, UN type gun grabbing at its finest, and it’s just a few few hours away from us. Thank God, James Madison, and the Supreme Court for our 2nd Amendment rights. Horus Vision

San Bruno, CA --(Ammoland.com)- A question we receive more than often is, “How do I maintain that perfect zero once I’ve already done it? I seem to keep losing it.” Keeping a perfect zero is tough, because there are a combination of mechanical and physiological factors that can alter the configuration of the relationship with the scope and gun.

Cleaning When you clean your gun, you are moving parts around, which most likely will shift your alignment Tightening Any time you tighten: • Screws • Rings • Pillar Bolts You are again shifting the original alignment, especially if you do not apply equal distribution of torque on component parts To avoid unequal distribution, a torque tool is a good way to tighten everything up equally.

SEP 27, 2010 11:08A.M. Pennsylvania Self Defense Rights Are On The Line Critical Legislative Alert Support Castle Doctrine law
Personal Shooting Practices If you change up any of the following, you will most likely alter your zero:
At Issue: Discharge Petition and Floor Action – House Bill 40 • Having another individual shoot the gun for you • Holding loose vs. tight on the shoulder • Holding loose vs. tight on the cheek weld Differing your Gun Rest Be sure to use the same kind of gun rest, whether it is a sand bag, mechanical rest, box, etc. It should be stable and easy to repeat the same position each time.
Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League McDonald, PA --(Ammoland.com)- For nearly 6 years we have ‘all’ been working to improve the use of force laws (known as Castle Doctrine) here in Pennsylvania so that gun owners would feel that they would be treated fairly ‘if’ they have to use force to defend their families with lethal force.
Transportation of Weapon Even if you don’t mishandle your weapon in the slightest, it is possible that a shift of zero could occur. • Turret knobs Not Covered
Unfortunately we have been frustrated by the idiosyncrasies of Pennsylvania politics. Again, we want ‘nothing more’ than what other states have: reasonable legislation that will provide important protections for ‘law-abiding’ citizens who must use protective force when confronting criminals. Thousands of volunteer organizations’ dollars and thousands of man-hours have been dedicated to this effort. Grassroots leaders of Pennsylvania gun rights organizations have bent over backwards trying to be fair in a good faith effort to accommodate critics of this important legislation.
If the turret knobs are not protected, they can rub against clothing, gear, storage bags, scabbard, etc. If the knobs turn, it will definitely shift over your alignment and cause your point of impact to be off. Defective scope Having a defective scope is a possibility, but it is not likely. If you have taken conscientious efforts to avoid any of the above in your shooting endeavors and you still aren’t accomplishing that zero, then maybe you really do have a defective scope and need to get that checked!
Sadly, this legislation has been held hostage by a shrill minority in the legislature consisting of the Philadelphia Legislative caucus and certain agencies.

Our organizations are receiving many complaints from individual gun owners, such as you, about legislative ambivalence and antipathy towards this concept and HB 40.

To this end we know there will be a vote on a discharge petition in the House of Representatives on Monday, September 27, and we encourage you to stress the importance of their support for not only this effort but also any other effort to advance House Bill 40 (Castle doctrine) through the legislative process in the next few coming days.

To Review: The Bill: HB 40 does not change the use of force requirements. What it does do is eliminate the honest citizen’s duty to retreat when confronted by violent criminals and provide honest citizens with legal protection if they defend themselves from criminals. It contains an anti-carjacking provision that will change state law so that if a criminal illegally and forcibly enters an occupied vehicle, the presumption is that he intends to harm the passengers. Protections against civil actions are also provided, should your assailant or his relatives sue you for harming the criminal when you defended yourself and this includes protections for law enforcement as well.

affiliates of a number of the world’s 10 largest defense contractors are potential competitors of Taser for any substantial military markets that may develop for less lethal electronic shock weapons.
AMMOLAND.COM
Taser Is Sued by Inventor James McNulty for Patent Infringement
Documents produced in the suit show that one affiliate has already developed in competition with Taser’s X12 and X RAIL a combination weapon, that fires ammunition cartridges that can also be interchangeably fired from and sold as replacement ammunition for Taser’s X26 and M26 stun pistols, and that the affiliate has already manufactured stocks of thousands of the ammunition rounds.
SEP 27, 2010 10:25A.M. Taser Is Sued by Inventor James McNulty for Patent Infringement One of world’s largest aerospace manufacturers may have financial interest in suit.
McNulty, a 27 year participant in the industry commented, “Documents already produced in the case show that this competitive ammunition technology has application in the law enforcement market for TASERS and TASER ammunition. Securities and Exchange Commission filings show that resale of ammunition for the over 359,000 M26 and X26 stun pistols, which have been sold by Taser to the law enforcement market, is a significant source of revenue for the company. In its last reported quarter ending June 30, 2010, Taser’s ammunition cartridge sales accounted for over 25% of its total business. Taser has no basic patents that prevent any other company from manufacturing and selling competing ammunition for the X26 and M26 products. The prospect in my opinion is that Taser shall fight for ever smaller shares of competitively diminishing law enforcement and military markets for projectile stun guns and ammunition and against interest of such behemoth enterprises. Taser’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings show that many of Taser’s assets are plant and equipment, intellectual property and inventory for manufacture and sale of its current line of stun pistols and ammo. The value of these types of assets can quickly vaporize with advent of new competitive electronic control device technologies. I shall vigorously protect my advanced IP in this field for its licensees/prospective licensees.”
Wireless TASER Shell Ammunition
AmmoLand Gun News LAS VEGAS, NV --(Ammoland.com)- Inventor James McNulty, a senior member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, who was a member of the research staff of the late TASER inventor John “Jack” Cover and instrumental in development of the early law enforcement model TASERS, today announced that he has sued Taser International, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASR) for patent infringement for its nascent production of wireless TASER shells, that can be discharged from conventional firearms (federal case docket no. 2:09-cv-00289-KJD-PAL).

The suit claims that Taser sells the shells in violation of McNulty’s “5,831,199″ and “6,877,434″ patents. The suit seeks an injunction against further sales, compensatory, exemplary (punitive) and enhanced damages and attorney’s fees. A case filing lists the aerospace giant BAE Systems, Ltd., manufacturer of the Harrier Jump Jet, and its affiliate Defense Technology Corporation as entities that may have a direct financial interest in the successful outcome of McNulty’s case.
