Awesome! Though if I won nobody would believe me. They already have a dropped jaw shocked look on their faces when I tell them about the Seraphim GI 1911 I won. Their brains have a hard time processing the idea that you can win a handgun in Canada.
I have entered for that sweet 1911
Entered! Thanks for this guys.
The link does not seem to work for me, takes me to a jet boil review

Thanks to GoC and Wolverine!
I can always use another 1911. Then they will out number my Tok's and can win the rumble.
Thank you GoC and Wolverine for the opportunity to win a nice 1911.
In. Love the thunderbolt, wish I had one.
I don't yet own a 1911. I'd like to remedy that.
Definitely is. I just tried on Tapatalk too and I get the same jet boil thing. Oh well, Tapatalk is otherwise a great user experience. They recently went through a spate of updates in a week. Probably going to be some bugs for a bit.Quote:

Im in on this, I dont own a 1911 but I have been looking at them recently and this was one of the brands I have been looking into so this would be a sweet win.
Thanks GOC and Wolverine
Thanks to GOC and Wolverine...
I'm entered...
It's an April fools joke. Nobody enter.
*furiously fills out contest form before others catch on*
Entered. Thanks to GOC and Wolverine.
A 1911 would be a welcome addition to the collection.
A 3rd? Greedy bast.......I don't have ANY !!!!! :pQuote:

As great as that Jetboil Advanced Cooking System sounds, I think I'd rather have that 1911 from Wolverine........entered.
I thought we decided long ago that the war cry was 'For King and Bacon!'?Quote:

The fact that I don't own a handgun at all should ensure my win. Now, who do I see about picking up my 1911?
We should update it to 'For Ammo and Bacon'Quote:

Sorry to get all tinfoil ish. I was surprised no one had asked. If the 'other' site had a similar contest, I would be far more wary.
Not involved in criminal activity, but as we all know gun owners are all potential criminals. /sarcasm
A contest such as this would be an efficient way to cross reference names.
Many have asked before. You're not the first. Some choose not to participate for that reason, so feel free to sit this one out.
Cooool, and I'm in!
Good stuff... now let me win hahaha.
I like free I'm entered
Thanks GOC and Wolverine
This would be perfect - Mrs. me needs a 9mm 1911 for IPSC!
I entered. Just need to hear what was done with the info.Quote:

Well I'm in but if it's anything like all the 50/50 draws I have been involved in the past 40 years I will be
congratulating someone else. ;D
Thanks GOC and Wolverine !!
What's stopping you,just cause you have one doesn't mean you actually have to buy a restricted firearm.I'm sure there will be other draws where a RPAL is needed.Who knows having one might mean getting one gifted to you by a friend or neighbor.Quote:

Entered! A 1911 from Wolverine Supplies would be an awesome addition to my small (but hopefully growing) collection. Thanks for running the contest!
Entered! Cheers
Also entered .. I hope who ever gets it is new to 45acp .. I can say that as my prize winning box is empty .. but my life box and 45acp box is full :-)
EDIT: I did win once .. on a CN train on the way to Expo 67 .. I was 15 .. some one won a CN lighter .. and they pulled out a large box ..the big CN lighter .. I had bingo and won for the first and last time of my life .. a box of 50 CN penny matches .... maybe I was not grateful :-)

I miss my 1911. This one looks pretty nice!
ENTERED!! Hope I win this sweet giveaway!
I forgot this one goes until the end of July.
In like Flynn!
Entered.
Who wouldn't want to win a free 1911?
Sure would like to make this my second 1911!!
Heard about the forum and saw the giveways; signing up was a no-brainer! Thanks alot for putting these on!
That is true :) Entered ofc too !
the contest for inactive accounts and one post wonders. just my opinion but this needs to be changed.
A pretty good argument could be made for the bigger contests that your post count must be at least a few hundred or so..Quote:

There would be hundreds of useless posts then as people would just say anything to get their post count higher. I do not post a lot as a lot of what I would say has already been said by some one else or I do not know enough about the topic to add to it in any meaningful way but I am on here about three to four times a week and add my 2 cents on certain things.Quote:

I've entered each one, never really expecting to win.
I always though it was the point of entering that anyone could win, not just an elite group.
Entered
I tend to be a reader and not a writer. Does this make me any less active just because I'm new to the sport and don't have a lot of knowledge to share? I take Polls and sign petitions, my post count is minimal, heck pretty sure this is my second post on this site. But I've spent a few years on this site reading everything I can. Posting doesn't make me any less active my friend.Quote:

Some read more than they talk, which is fine. Without their numbers the site wouldn't have as many sponsors, and we'd be giving away a new pair of boot laces instead of a 1911. And for that, they can enter too.....unless you'd really like a pair of new laces....Quote:

Would you consider selling that G1 Doug. I am also in Nova Scotia and am looking for my first handgun but am a little nervous to purchase online.
What do I need to put in the comments section to enter?

entered and Thanks!
I appreciate all comments, however the companies providing the swag are the benefactors as we are asked to roam their site, familiarize us with their offering and potentially make future purchase decisions based on that. If Anyone is saying you have to active this or have posted x-number of times, these companies might be better-off doing their promotional giveaways elsewhere, such as gunnutz. Have you ever heard of Pepsi letting you only claim the 'win' if you had been drinking their product in x quantity? I really appreciate that this forum is doing this work of talking to the folks, setting up these contents, but if you put these stipulations on (activity level) it leaves a bitter taste.

1.1 Eligibility: Gun Owners of Canada Giveaways is open to all legal residents of Canada who are; the age of majority in his/her province or territory of residence or older at the time of entry, are a member in good standing of Gun Owners of Canada (1.1.a), with an active account (1.1.b).
1.1.a Good Standing is defined as a member that has activated account, that is not banned, suspended, or requested the removal of their account.
1.1.b An active account is defined as an account that has been active within 1 week of the contest drawing date. IF account is found to be inactive, Gun Owners of Canada, shall have the right to decide if the draw, shall be redrawn.
As for companies doing their promotional giveaways elsewhere, as Previously stated, these companies as part of their advertisement programs costs have products in place of cash which is then given away to our members. This is at the cost of GOC's intake of funds, and we do this to promote the sport and thank our members for being apart of it.
If we Canceled this program with the dealers, we would make more money but members would get nothing back for being loyal great members.
As such if they did so on other places, they would have to front cash for advertisement then the funds for the giveaway.
Our program benefits both the Vendor and the Members of this forum.
Also our viewer base since we are a publicly view-able forum is much larger then a closed to only members view-able forum, thus giving more exposure for the giveaways and or product.
Member count is not a true count of viewers of the forum, many read and never sign up.
To give you an idea of the Viewers of the forum:
Within the last year 334,786 unique users (not IPs, but users tracked through google and the forum software) have been tracked to the forum of those 58.2% are returning users on a regular basis (maybe members and may just be public readers),
Which Translates to 194845 uniquer users coming to Gun Owners of Canada on a consistence basis.
The "largest forum" member base is roughly 160-170k members on a closed forum. So the public isn't able to view it.
So in terms of exposure 334,786 vs 160,000 to 170,000(if all members are active) is double the viewership potential, And tracked 194,845 is higher than 160,000 to 170,000(if all members are active).
So in short they get more exposure for their money.
I appreciate you clearing this whole mess up for us all jwirecom109. I think we shot that target to pieces and it time to put it to bed.
...and I am going to keep on entering these contests no matter how or where I have to find the stipulated requirements! :pirate2
Thanks for clearing this up
Thanks GOC and Wolverine. I sure would love a Thunderbolt as my 1st 1911, I've been wanting one for a while.
I am still waiting to win this pistol.
The draw ends the day after my birthday so....... I'm just saying
BTW if you enter 64 times, it doesn't get you an extra chance, most likely just banned :P lol
Draw is quickly coming up
I entered sweet looking 1911
Entered and fingers crossed :)
I am still dreaming of winning this contest!
I have deactivated the e-mail address I put on my entry but I changed my current address on GOC.
IFFFF I were to win would they still be able to contact me?
This would be an awesome gun to own!
Hope to win this baby
Its my birthday today, I don't mind celebrating tomorrow with my new 1911!
pack it in guys... It's MINE! :D
Your all dreaming guys, but I will definitely be thinking of all of you when I take it to the range for the first time. 😊
