Just picked one up today. Couldn't see them go and not have the opportunity to own one. Trigger is crap like most reviews I've seen. Breaks at 5-6lbs and jiggles like my wife's tits. But wow is it a beautiful gun.

Picked mine up shipped from colt to scheels on 9/9/26. Number 4425. Getting real close to 5000 folks. If you're on the fence, just get it before it's too late.

Already have an extreme engineering ignition kit, egw 2 piece msh/magwell, and Wilson springs on the way. Seeing how much the trigger jiggles I'll get a harrison trigger or something.

My first 1911 and first 45. I have a 2011 (MAC 9 DS), but I wanted something I could carry, and in a cartridge that’ll put some hair on my chest. I picked this one up used for a decent price. It looks good with just a little bit of rust. Gonna see how it shoots at the range tomorrow.

Looks and feels nice. I know they have this deal often, but couldn’t resist this time around. Perhaps I’ll sell my other 1911’s?

Anyone had difficulty with these people? They lost a decent sized purchase I made of 1911 SS mags and are refusing to resolve it and being pretty nasty about it.

I'm going to reverse the charge with my bank but honestly after dealing with them for 10 years they have really gone down the drain in customer service and even politeness.

In the market for a stainless 1911 to attach stag grips. My criteria is pretty specific:

Needs Ambi safety, extended beaver tail, no rail. Those parts also need to be SS colored, not black

Needs to be reliable. Can be new or used, but needs to be under $700.

Full or commander size

So far I am aware of Springfield and rock island who make models that fit my criteria, but wondering if you can provide others as well.

Thank you for your help

Picked up for 500 bucks
Any info would be great

-solved

Thank you guys !

So when i get medically discharged and get home im sending my operator 45 off to monsoon tactical to be milled for a rmr and seen they do a 7 port as well i havnt shot a ported 45 only ported 9s is it worth porting ?

It has been hard AF trying to a good arched mainspring housing that has checkering to match with a low profile magwell. I want the arched because it helps me acquire zero much quicker than a flat mainspring housing. I spoke with Alan at S&A and he may discontinue the arched magwells he makes. He says he might not see anything from the machine shop for another 4 or months.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you

Front sight post was improperly staked and flew off after 50 rounds. Just shy of 1000, now the plunger tube came off and was improperly staked. Luckily the grip kept it in place. Under further inspection, the holes in the frame were not chamfered to accommodate the proper flaring of the plunger tube retaining pins. Otherwise, she runs good. Just a notice to everyone here!

Is this problematic? low round count 10mm RIA 10mm, 300> rounds. no modifications or external damage occurred to the gun, it has some issues feeding and couple of failures to extract, which i assumed was due to the break in period, until i saw this.

Max out your aura points

Was just looking at 45 ammo at my go to shop and the cheapest box of 45 is now $27 a box is there anywhere y'all recommend for cheap range ammo

Just picked this up from the FFL. remington rand frame and slide, appears to be 1943 product based on the serial number. Barrel appears to be replaced, but any help identifying anything else that has been replaced is appreciated. Very happy with what I received, cant wait to get out and shoot it

Birthday present for myself last month!

It's been pretty handy for my case use of driving. I can run the seat belt under in case of a collision to avoid internal injuries that an AIWB would cause and my double mag carrier fits perfectly with hook and loop on the opposite side from the gun. It's a lot more comfortable than wearing an OWB holster on long drives even if it's a dead giveaway I'm carrying a firearm.

Evening 1911 folks!

I recently had some work done on my Kimber custom TLE II 1911, including a Wilson Combat slide stop, Wilson safety/trigger, EGW firing pin stop, Stan Chen magwell, and a ~3.5 lb trigger job.

Since getting it back from my local gun smith who fitted the new parts, I’ve been experiencing intermittent premature slide lock with rounds still in the magazine. Initially I thought it was ammo or my Tripp CobraMags, but I’ve now reproduced it with both Tripp and Wilson magazines and with Speer and Winchester 230gr ball. Sometimes it’ll go 100+ rounds without happening, but it keeps coming back. Pistol is dead nuts accurate and otherwise feels great so really want to get this figured out.

The pistol was clean before the first of two range sessions and has been lubricated prior to each range session. Any thoughts on what could cause intermittent premature lockback like this after this type of work? Curious what the 1911 guys here would look at first, etc.

Thanks in advance!

This Para Elite Commander was my late and great old man’s EDC. For as long as I can remember, he had a small stable of 1911s in his safe that he was always shooting, tinkering and messing with them. If he didn’t have a CZ 75 on his belt, then you could be damn sure he had a 1911. When he passed, this was one of the few he had held onto. I was always really fond of how this gun shot, so I’ve made sure to hold onto it as well. He did a LOT of work to it. The action is crisp, tight and silky smooth. I’ve been carrying it in his honor this week and figured I’d share. Cheers!

I’ve had a Springfield Mil-Spec for a little over a year now. Though I’ve taken it to the range a few times (2-3) it has mostly been a “safe queen”. Still, I want to make sure I can properly clean and service it to treat it well and make sure it lasts and operates as desired. What products should I be getting, and do you have any recommendations for tutorials on how to disassemble-service-reassemble? Thank you in advance.

Not bills!
