      1911 Show-N-Tell

      That’s exactly what I did. 100 rounds, complete disassembly/cleaning, and lubricated for storage. I found it to be a lot snappier than some of my others. I chalk it up to modern beavertails. IMO, they allow you to get a higher grip and make the recoil more manageable. I’d never modify the...

      Improper Cleaning can ruin your AR15 Bolt Carrier Group

      Still the best product I’ve found for stubborn fouling, hands down. No scraping, no scrubbing, and it’ll get the job done in a fraction of the time you’d spend with a brush.

      My list of Glocks that interest me

      What’s your honest take on it? The .45 GAP has had my interest for a while and I even looked for one on Gunbroker at one time(to no avail). You’re probably the first person I’ve seen that actually owns one.

      Bought a 1911...

      I want a range report! I was very close to buying that exact model a few years ago and would love to hear about it!

      1911 Show-N-Tell

      Same. They have a gorgeous finish. Your pictures do a much better job of doing it justice. I’ve taken it to the range once and I have to admit it isn’t my favorite 1911 to shoot, but I’m satisfied with shooting it occasionally and just looking at it the rest of the time.

      To Carry or Not To Carry?

      I have a few I don’t plan on ever carrying, but these are the two I know for certain I’ll never carry. The first is a S&W 39-2 that my mom bought my dad as a gift in the early 80s. He carried it for years and it’s the handgun I learned to shoot with, but it’s strictly an heirloom at this point...

      Fusion Firearms 1911

      Pretty sure you’re right. He recommended them to me a few years ago.

      1911..

      If you trust it and you’re proficient with it, that’s all that really matters. I wish I could trust them because I get better groupings at a high rate of fire with some of my 1911s than I do with my EDC (9mm).

      1911..

      https://www.indianagunowners.com/threads/combat-commander-overhaul.509322/ This was the worst. Allen had to do extensive work on a Springfield for me as well. I had a Kimber Aegis 2 that wouldn’t lock back on the last round. It also wouldn’t accept WC mags so there were FTF issues. Of the dozen...

      1911..

      The 1911 might be my favorite to shoot at the range, but I’d never carry one. IMO, they’re too finicky for EDC. If I had to carry a single stack .45 it would be the P220. They’re a bit heavier but far more reliable in my experience.

      1911 Show-N-Tell

      Yep. Always wanted one but not at the price they typically sell for. The owner of my LGS was selling it on consignment and knew I was stopping in to pick up a GP100, so he kept it out of the case for me.

      Crossed one off the bucket list. 1979 Gold Cup

      S&W snubnose

      Speaking of the screws, how do the other two look? I can tell that yoke screw has been removed, which is fairly common as that screw must be taken out to remove the cylinder. That said, they didn’t use the right kind of screwdriver. If the other two look the same, I’d probably remove the side...

      Looking to get into 1911 world

      There are definitely quality options to be had under $1K, particularly in the $800 range. Just a forewarning, some do have a break-in period. The Garrison didn’t which was one of the things that impressed me, but don’t get discouraged and sell at a loss if you have malfunctions in the first...

      Anybody bought a gun in 2023?

      Technically speaking I bought it in 2022, but it wasn’t officially an SBR until 2023. Does that count?

      Your Favorite cheap Handgun that everyone else thinks is Junk and makes fun of.

      I once saw an ad for a Jennings that said “Great self defense weapon if you have a strong throwing arm.” :lmfao: Not trying to be a jerk, it just happens to be what I think of every time a see a Jennings. If it works and you trust it, that’s all that matters.

      Looking to get into 1911 world

      Youll probably need to be a little more specific on your price range to get the best suggestions. 1911s can run from a few hundred to a few thousand. Personally, the Springfield Garrison is easily the best factory 1911 I’ve purchased at its price point ($750, give or take). I love 1911s but I’m...

      Form 1 questions…..

      Downside is it’s a bit pricey. I did mine at a UPS location and it was $70. Don’t be concerned when you can’t view the file they email you. It basically just shows as a string of code. The prints are encrypted and standard software won’t read it.

      Form 1 questions…..

      Not exactly an answer to the question but thought you might be interested to know…I filed my Form 1 through e-file using an .eft file for my prints on December 16th and got my approval January 9th. It’s definitely faster than the approval times I’ve had mailing my prints.

      Autoloader not cycling…

      It’s really just the magazine spring and action spring that I’ll be replacing. I found multiple accounts of FTF on the last couple rounds and the consensus was that the factory spring wasn’t strong enough. Seeing as how it’s a known issue, the spring is under constant tension, and the previous...
