Upon further review it looks like the kimber micro 9 has a slightly longer barrel like the goverment .380 (3.15 kimber, 3.15 goverment, 2.75 mustang) and a magazine extention to catch the pinky
I have a Mustang XSP .380. It is small enough to conceal on my ankle under dress pants and I have found this is really the only way for me to carry at my job. I do wish the grip were just a tad longer and could use a tad more barrel length (like the discontinued colt .380 government) but made...
Years ago someone loaned me a model 40 Smith. I had it for a few years. It was one of those fantastic "hammerless" snub nose .38's with the grip safety on the back. From time to time I would throw it into a suit coat pocket by itself without a holster. There it rode by itself in an empty...
I have owned my East German Makarov for a few years. It has been very reliable. No problems. I recently bought my second gun. Its a colt repro WWI 1911. In researching and buying the 1911 I learned that one of the tests is to check that there is no hammer movement at all when you pull the...
I did buy a Colt. Despite my efforts I was too slow on the Mil-Spec. Will put together a range report of sorts after the weekend.
Thanks for all the feedback
Story and price
The owner had 5 1911's he was selling. In a flash I missed out on all 3 of the guns I was interested in. One of the guns was a WWI Carbonia blue Repro like this one but it was NIB. He called me back and offered me this identical one that he had used as a shooter. He took...
Thanks for the feedback 500Grains. Sometimes The heart wants what it wants! FYI...I dont plan to carry this gun. Too hard to conceal when you are 180 lbs and wear tucked in shirts to work every day.
By the way 500grains. Do you think a $600 1911 with $800 worth of factory gunsmithing gets...
All the modifications were done by Springfield. He has the receipts. Also he is selling 5 1911's. 4 colts and this mil spec. I haven't asked why he is selling them.
OK,
I decided to finally treat myself to a 1911. My first pistol is an East German Makarov and I have shot a few thousand rounds through it but by no means am I a gun expert. I really have narrowed my search down to a few makes Colt, SA and Kimber. I can see pros and cons for each one...
Both were made in 1964. they look almost brand new. especially the 12. The 20 is a lightning. Very cool. Better get out and shoot em before he takes 'em back
