      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.

      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?

      Has this ever happened to you????

      Ehhh...I did have a similar experience at a local shop. I purchased a "new" STI Spartan at full retail, which at the time was $660. (Sidebar: nice 1911 for the money.) What with one thing and another, I didn't have a chance to fool with it for a couple of days. Then I field stripped it...

      looking for a 380

      It happens. I know people swear by the Bersa; I had one that gave me fits - I couldn't get more than three rounds through it without a stovepipe FTF. Ended up selling it for a hundred less than I paid for it. A good friend has a WW2 vintage PPK in .380 - same problem, although since his dad...

      A good 1911 is worth spending a couple a' grand

      :yesway: Rereading, and you're righter yet. Nighthawk, Baer, etc, and for that matter Cabot, are production manufacturers. Very high end, very close tolerances, very good weapons, but still production manufacturers. They have a model list, they have a price list - you place an order and you...

      A good 1911 is worth spending a couple a' grand

      Absolutely. There's low end - RIA, Taurus, Charles Daly - and they're fine for what you spend on them. There's medium, anywhere from say $750 to $1500, which I would guess includes the vast majority of 1911 models sold. Springfield, Kimber, SIG, Ruger, Remington, etc...and Colt, amazingly...

      A good 1911 is worth spending a couple a' grand

      Think of it as the 57 Chevy of handguns. Yes, a machine - but it can be customized to the nth degree and (probably) has a greater variety of aftermarket parts available for it than are available for any other handgun. It can be tuned a lot of different ways, finished or refinished in a lot of...
