    Venison Stuffed Summer Squash

    This looks SO good! Awesome that you have a garden and that tomato made my mouth water! Nothing like a fresh vine ripened tomato with some kosher salt, yum! Great job on the pics and your recipe sounds delish. That basil sure grows like wildfire doesn't it?

    New Fire by Heber

    X2 on the rain.
  11. I have been wanting to buy a conversion kit for a 1911 for quite some time. Mainly to be able to afford to shoot more, since the price of .45 ammo has been so high. I have a Colt ACE in .22 that is a dream to shoot, but it seems to be a collectors piece more than anything else now. If I start needing to replace springs and bushings etc, it can cost me a little fortune. So, after some consideration, I opted not to buy a slide conversion but purchase a .22 handgun instead. being a 1911 fan, I wanted something similar to the ACE. There are a few that have come to market as of late, so I was pretty excited to finally be able to buy one. About two months ago I ordered a GSG (German Sport Gun) M1911 in .22LR with a 5" barrel. It came in last week and after taking it apart and putting it back together, I hit the range yesterday. The magazine is easy to load and holds ten rounds. The first shot brought a smile to my face as I noticed a pleasant amount of recoil to make it feel like a "real" gun. The slide appears to be aluminum so it cycles fine with .22 HV ammo. Nice trigger, good weight, feels like a true 1911 in your hands. As a matter of fact, a lot of the parts are directly interchangeable with a true 1911. Needless to say, i love this pistol! I do wish it came with non-plastic sights, although they do give you three front sights in different heights to swap out. It isn't a high end 1911 by any means, but it sure makes it affordable to shoot more often and have fun at the range. I fired 200 rounds, with only a few issues with cycling. (The loading ramp could be better designed) Plus I bought the cheapest ammo I could find. Remington Golden bullet at $20 for 525 rounds. Do some research and check it out if you've considered a .22 pistol purchase as of late. Here is a target with 65 holes. Only 7 are outside of the circle. Not bad for this little gun!

    Range Report

    Lark, Any more info on your friends military .22? I'm intrigued now, as it sounds like something I would love to own. Colts ACE was first made as a conversion kit and a complete pistol for practice purposes. It was cheaper to shoot, and good practice for when handling the government model 1911. Hence the reason I had been looking for a 1911 framed .22 as well.

    This is a great blog about expedition and the open road. The trials and tribulations that come with it, and the inner calm that it gives.
