      1911 lubrication

      Disclaimer: I use CLP at present. 1. I've read multiple articles on this topic by various people and it seems like there are two tribes: grease vs oil. One article says absolutely use grease (the right kind) in the usual places - frame rails, slide etc etc. The next says absolutely don't use...

      Wilson 1911 magazine

      Originally an RIA GI clone...after a while I got thumb safety and hammer swapped out, different/bigger sights, sent it to Armando out in Pahrump to be breathed on a little, been reliable as sunrise no matter what I fed to it. Paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $425 for it probably 25 years...

      Wilson 1911 magazine

      Not recently, did years ago. Again, no problem with any other mags.

      Wilson 1911 magazine

      Thanks, appreciate the tip. Not what I expected from a Wilson product.

      Wilson 1911 magazine

      Visited Cabelas a little while back in a (futile) search for .45 ACP rounds. Since I was there, I picked up an eight round Wilson Combat 1911 magazine. Let it sit for a couple of months, finally loaded it and swapped it for a loaded mag in the 1911 in the night holster. Felt a little sticky...

      GP100 Match Champion?

      Okay, I'm convinced. The one gripe I've always heard about the GP100 is the trigger feel and it sounds like they fixed that via what amounts to a factory trigger job. Officially added to the "I want" list.

      GP100 Match Champion?

      Has anyone seen or shot Ruger's GP100 Match Champion? It looks like a Talo or Lipsey's variant, but is factory produced. http://ruger-hosted.s3.amazonaws.com/email/1754-Specs-0e3dad1d793928a.pdf

      RIA Rock Island 1911 user survey part 2

      Swapped out parts after shooting it for a bit - bigger safety, beavertail, bigger sights....in short, I'd have been better off spending more money up front. Oh yes, ended up sending to Armando (gunsmith extraordinaire) at Armscor in Pahrump because I kept getting stovepipe rounds. Tuned the...

      RUGER OR SMITH QUESTION

      No way, especially since the 686-3 is one of the nice early ones with no MIM parts. And from what I've heard, any stock 686 will shoot smoother than any stock GP100, not to mention that the 686 (prelock especially) is worth more.

      The four most influential handguns of the 20th century

      I'd have to say the N-frame Smith and Wesson in its original .357 magnum configuration. Everything else as a .357 service weapon came from that. Only problem with it was its weight - carrying it for a full eight hours got tiresome. Then they came up with Model 19/Model 66 - same gun more or...

      Current LTCH Wait

      I'm starting to wonder. Filed to renew my four year permit the day before it expired back on March 12, and I haven't gotten anything back. I haven't had any legal problems in the last four years (duh) and yet...no letter notifying me of problems, no nothin'. Should I contact the state or what?
