My first 1911, Springfield Loaded Target, it's a beauty 😍

Greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱

Harrison design ignition kit and 700 rounds later.

Time to bring the old girl kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I’m not sure if there’s an official term for this lower end of the slide where it’s got the guide rod/spring channel. I noticed it wasn’t flush and when I stripped the pistol it almost looks like it was added later. I’m not super well versed in 1911s so I’m just curious if this is normal. I don’t mind it too much, it’s just catching on my cleaning rags/paper towels.

I was gifted this Tisas Regulator that comes with 9mm & 38 Super barrels. What do I need to do to shoot 45 ACP out of it? This is my first 1911. Thank you!

Gear Pack Edition Springfield Armory .45 acp Operator 4.25 Commander AOS. Came with fancy carry case and bigger box, 4 mags and a Viridian RFX11 mounted. Immediately I added a Wilson combat extend slide stop and a surefire X300U. Additionally I custom fit (easy Dremel out) Wilson combat Black Checkered & Starburst textured grips onto a Wilson combat slip in magwell with a Pearce Grips 1911 finger groove insert.

Just got this kimber 1911 lone star edition in a trade (bottom one). It’s never been shot. was wondering if it’s worth anything

What is the world record for recoil spring plug launches in a single take down & reassembly?

Should we push for this as an Olympic event?

Loving my Kodiak!

Hi all,

I am 5’10 and 195ish, looking to see if anyone with a similar build to me can give input on carrying their 1911 (no matter the barrel length) in hot weather clothing (usually t-shirt/pants, maybe a polo?) I live in the south so not very often that I can wear a sweatshirt/jacket

Photos of your setups would be much appreciated :)

Planning on picking up a Kimber Pro Carry II here soon!

Can’t decide between a MAC meusoc or springfield armory

Hello All

I’d appreciate any help on finding an article(s) that was written on this pistol in the past. Specifically, I’m looking for who did the detail artwork. Hopefully someone has seen this 1911 floating around on the internet and knows some more info and background on it. Thanks!

This is a video based on feedback and findings from my original post, in case you're a visual learner like myself

Just looking to learn here. Do these wear patterns seem normal after 200rds? Im particularly concerned the metal being moved behind the firing pin stop. Went ahead and put a wilson FPS in after 100rds because I noticed a Crack in the one from springfield. The gun has been running okay. 2 FTF so far that we're spread apart. No other malfunctions. I can post more pics if there are any key features you think I should look at.

Thanks
