      What's the best caliber?

      This is a debate that no one wins really. The honest answer, in my opinion, is that shot placement means far more than the bullet. I carry a 357, but I wouldn't feel undergunned if I had it loaded with 38 special +p. As mentioned before, modern ammunition is pretty effective. Practice...

      Advice

      Those look great! I'll have to shoot em an e-mail tomorrow. Do you know if the wait times are similar to Milt Sparks (i.e., 26 weeks)?

      Advice

      I've got a dilemma and I figured that someone here might have some good advice to help me work through it. So here it is... I've been carrying a Taurus 606 for the better part of a year. It's a 6 shot .357 magnum with a barrel slightly longer than 2" (maybe 2 1/8"?). It has a frame size...

      WTS: Wilson Combat CQB Compact Package

      BUMP FYI - I've had several ask where I am located. I am in downtown Indianapolis. I would be willing to drive an hour or two in any direction if that is what it takes to reach a deal. Of course, I will not meet anyone outside of Indiana and any buyer must present a Indiana State ID. I...

      WTS: Wilson Combat CQB Compact Package

      It's time for me to part ways from my Wilson Combat CQB Compact, as much as it pains me to do so. College will be great for my future, but it's hard on my pocketbook and I simply need the cash more than the pistol. Here are the specifics. This is a Wilson Combat CQB Compact that I picked up...

      Wilson Combat Compact CQB

      I LOVE my CQB Compact. I just got it back from Wilson after having a few upgrades done to it. It has never done me wrong and is beautiful to boot. As Hickman said, the wonderful thing about a Wilson is that if you pick it up on the used market it will still carry its lifetime warranty with...

      Beautiful Small Carry Gun

      I love 1911s! I absolutely adore them! However... I'm just not a big fan of all the new serrations that different manufacturers are putting out there. Ed Brown has the Kobra scales and the Special Forces scallops. Kimber has several different cocking serrations (the ones above and the SIS...

      opinions on 1911 aftermarket parts and accessories

      I'll toss another recommendation Wilson Combat's direction for their magazines. I use 47DC magazines (1911 Magazine | 8 Round .45 ACP | Full-Size-Wilson Combat in my carry 1911 and have never had a single issue with them. They are pricey, but IMHO absolutely worth it. As far as grips go, it...

      Dan Wesson Valor vs. Colt Special Combat Govt

      I really want a CCO, but I think I will have to go with the government model as my 1911-2011 commemorative model. However, depending on how nice their CCO is (and the price) I might just have to downgrade my choice of government model to a standard 80 series and add the CCO to the order!!! :D

      Dan Wesson Valor vs. Colt Special Combat Govt

      I paid $1600 all said and done (pistol/shipping/transfer fees). In regards to the Colt SCG, I will likely purchase one early next year. I decided I would rather get my carry 1911 first and preferred the DW to the standard framed Colt Commander. I also kind of like the idea of purchasing a Colt...

      Dan Wesson Valor vs. Colt Special Combat Govt

      The Valor does come standard with slim grips, so I can see how it would alter your grip. Swapping back to standard size grips is pretty simple and would not require a change of bushings either. The extractor is made of blues carbon steel rather than stainless, which explains the different...

      Dan Wesson Valor vs. Colt Special Combat Govt

      I thought I would give this thread an update. I decided to go with the Dan Wesson VBOB (Valor Bobtail) after looking at the variety of options. The combination of price, quality, and feel couldn't be beat in my opinion. Having handled several Browns and Baers, I feel the VBOB stacks up pretty...

      And the unbearable wait begins...

      As I understand it, the large mags will feed an officers frame, but I don't know if there are drawback aside from the looks. And I'm assuming you mean to use the full size mags just for range duty. If you plan on carrying and using the full size mags you should stick with the full size frame as...

      And the unbearable wait begins...

      In regards to the holster, I can't speak with certainty, but it doesn't look like the finger groove would interfere with many holster styles. My IWB holster (which is basically a Milt Sparks versamax-2 knockoff) doesn't look like it would interfere with the finger groove. Most holsters stop...

      And the unbearable wait begins...

      Based on the description and the dimensions given the Enforcer is not a commander sized 1911. The description states a compact frame, which makes me think that this is built on an officers frame, not the full-size. The height given of 5" and capacity of 6+1 confirms this suspicion. A...

      And the unbearable wait begins...

      It looks like that is a CCO variant. If it were me, I would stick with CCOs with 4.25" barrels so you can use Commander-sized holsters. There are a variety of CCO's available with similar prices to the pistol referenced above. I've been drooling over the Les Baer Stinger for a while now and am...
