The biggest advantage is the "shootability" of the 1911 design. The trigger is phenomenal, and the trigger pull is the same from the first shot to last. The 1911 points well. I shoot other guns, but can't shoot anything as well or as easily as a 1911. In my opinion it is the perfect...
The 1911 holds plenty of ammo. In your scenario if you take on 5 or 6 guys, and they are all armed and choose to fight, you are screwed no matter how many rounds you have in the gun. That is movie stuff. Most likely what will happen is that when you drill the first thug through the chest the...
Dave,
I'll send you a PM one of these days. My schedule is pretty rough right now.
I really would like to get into trap/skeet, and sporting clays. So many different shooting disciplines and so little time/money......:(
Thanks for the info guys. Now I know. I think I'm going to pass on this particular shotgun. It sounds like the condition isn't quite what I was looking for.
Thanks Dave. I want to check out PGC for some clays sometime. I also want to get over to Pintail Point for some sporting clays...
It is funny how so many experts on the internet proclaim to be an authority on tactics, policy, and the level of professionalism (or claimed lack of) shown by the police. Of course these are the same people that have never put on a police uniform or worked a day as an officer. I think a lot of...
I'm looking at a Winchester 1897 for sale. The seller claims the gun was made during the early 1900s. How good a shooter do the early guns make?
My understanding is that there was a lot of advancement in metallurgy through the 1900s, and I was wondering how good the steel is in the early...
Thanks for all the info. While I appreciate the workmanship that went into that Royal Blue Colt, the polished look all over the gun is a bit too much for me. :)
Thanks Olympus. Do you know how Colt is about refinishing guns with aftermarket parts? I've got C&S internals and an EGW extractor and firing pin stop in the gun. I don't want to send Colt the gun and have them tell me they won't work on it because it has been "modified" or worse yet install...
I've got a Series '70 1911 I want to get reblued in a high polish blue. I want high polish on the flats, with a more matte finish on the rounds. I've done a bit of homework and narrowed my selection down to Ford's Custom Guns or the Colt Custom Shop for their Royal Blue. If it were your gun...
I got a great deal on a new surplus Bianchi M12 holster. Although this holster usually houses an M9 pistol, supposedly this holster is universal and will fit a 1911.
How secure does this holster hold a 1911, and would you feel comfortable carrying your 1911 cocked and locked in one of these...
I seem to remember a thread from a couple years back where someone had removed the Series 80 fire control components from their Colt. What made this conversion cool was that they went the extra mile and had the hole in the slide welded up where the Series 80 parts used to be. While I know this...
For the extra money you pay for a Colt you get more than just a pony stamped on the slide. You get better quality small parts than RI, SA or Kimber. Slides stops, hammers, extractors, pins, firing pin stops, are all made from bar stock instead of MIM. Bluing is better on the Colt than other...

You must plan on missing your target a lot. :confused:
If I had $2500 to spend on a 1911 I'd pick up a Fusion 1911 kit with pre-fitted slide/frame, barrel, and bushing. I'd take it to a local guy that I know does excellent 1911 work, and I'd let him finish the rest...
I do appreciate the OP's honest update about his Baer. So many folks sugar coat the details and range reports for their model or brand of choice for whatever reason. An honest report like this is most welcome.
That being said, posts like this are why I have sworn off ever buying another...
I'm taking a rifle I bought and never fired to a local shop tomorrow to see if I can work a trade towards something I actually will fire. :)
Not likely I will work a deal though. Gun dealers like to buy a gun from some schmuck for $200 and put it in the rack for $500, while charging you full...
I notice that often times on some 1911s the slide tends to overhang the rear of the frame, or vise-versa where the slide sits just forward of the frame leaving the rear of the ejector sticking out slightly.
Is this situation a function of the barrel fit of the gun, or simply a difference in...
Valmet already did it years ago. What a shame the Valmets aren't available anymore, except as absurdly priced used specimens with even more ridiculously priced magazines. The Galil got all the glamor articles in the gun magazines, but the Valmet was really a better weapon. They are lighter...
