Lost my Springfield 1911A1

[Woodrow]

I lost my damn stainless A1. It's around the house somewhere. The wife cleaned and rearranged the house, and now stuff isn't where I left it. Sometimes it's under the bed, sometimes in random drawers. It's just so pretty and solid and clean--you know, it is my carry around the house from room to room gun. Call me irresponsible or whatever, but I have no kids, it has no magazine in it, and it is locked up in the house, so fooey on me. No one has been in the house, and I never took it out, so unless the dog buried it, it's around, but damn.

I don't know, anyone seen my Springer?

It happens wives clean and stuff get put in the wrong place tisk tisk

I know, man, I know. But it's like, my shower gun. What if the baddies come at some point tomorrow before I find it and I'm in the shower? I guess another stainless is a possibility, but that's the gun I drill with when I do my shower invasion simulation scenarios. Janet Leigh was caught unawares, I will not be. Yeah, my fault for not cross-training enough...

I hear your pain, friend. My wife cleans (when she feels like it) and moves my gun from its SAFE place, on top of my gun safe inside the closet and hides it somewhere. It isn't a specific one - my Sig 1911 last week ended up in laundry basket, while my Glock ended up in my daughter's changing table . My daughter cannot get to it, so although my wife makes me go I know she still isn't being irresponsible.

Luckily like you I keep mags out of the guns and unchambered when sitting around the house. That's what the 20ga behind the safe is for

Sounds like you need one for each room. Maybe your wife is helping with purchasing a new one....

Tell your wife I said thanks.

Have you tried calling it?

Have you tried calling it?

lol. I've been there, too

Perhaps she is trying to send a message. Maybe I should go ahead and upgrade to the Springer Loaded. That would be a good gettin' dirty gun while we wait for the pair o' Fusions we ordered.

Gun doesn't come when called. Perhaps I should low jack it. I could get a head start on thr changes they are bound to make on the gun control bill of 2018. Am I the only one who misplaces guns? Don't get me wrong, I lock up ammo, guns too for the most part, but there are 7-8 drawer guns around that i take out to clean or oil, and then they disappear for a while, only to replace themselves in some random location a few daysweeksmonths later. This thread sounds terrible, but I do on occasion have 1-2 unloaded guns hide themselves on occasion if I don't watch them closely...

Now there's an idea...

 

[stewballs]

Get the dog and have him sniff some gun oil and turn him loose to find it.

I've had that happen to me more than once. It always turns up again when I am not looking for the gun. But the MILK CARTON idea is the best I've heard of so far. I say to give that a try.

Check the holster on your hip. If it is there, you can just say you found it in a laundry basket or something. I frequently loose my glasses and find them on top of my head.
