That was my thoughts too. I've been using a leather 1.5" pants belt and it's fine until I go to put on the full size 1911 then I really feel the need for a real belt. Thanks hankdatank. :D

Cool, I've been looking for a good belt for about $25. I'll just order one of those. Thanks a lot. Did you get the 1.5" or 1.75" version? The 1.5" says it's for accessories, not holsters.

Yes it's been talked about a lot but I don't think I've put in my 2 cents so here both of them are.... She doesn't care anymore until I leave town. When I'm in town I have a 1911 in the dresser, 625 on the night stand and a 638 in my pocket. When I leave town the 22/45 gets put wherever she...

I have a 638 in my pocket right now and a 5" 625 loaded with Gold dots on the nightstand. Not to to mention the Mossy 500 persuader loaded with (5) #4 buckshot and a speed feed stock loaded with (2) 000 buck on the fast side and (2) slugs on the other side that lies just under my side of the...

Just glad I could help. :) Like I said, it took me a lot of trial and error to decide what I really liked. I really noticed that just the other day with my mil spec. I didn't really like the gun at all until I swapped the MSH from arched to flat and put a long trigger on instead of the short...

Tuner is right (as always) but he also knows that some guns do not run right out of the box. Some may have a hiccup or two in the first few hundred rounds. I agree with others that as you get tighter (and more expensive) the chance of early malfuncions increase. The loaded SA is in between a...

With a revolver I normally shoot about 50-100 to ensure reliability and accuracy (new or used). It may take more for you to be 1000% comfortable with it though. You can use cheap target ammo to test the function of the gun but make sure to shoot at least 25-50 rounds of the ammo you are going to...

I have only 3 left. I voted Colt was one of them which is only part true. It's a Colt Commander upper (slide, barrel, etc) and a Caspian Titanium officers frame assembled by Caspian. Best carry gun ever. (IMO of course). :D My others are a Stainless SA milspec and a old Thompson AO. The AO is...

I started with a SA Milspec (not WWI version) b/c it was relatively cheap and no one makes a 1911 exactly like I want anyway. I could spend 2500 and still have to swap parts. you need to find out if you want... a flat or arched mainspring housing (changes grip angle) a long or short...

I've never heard of a "45 magnum" but that is essentially what 45 super is. 45acp +p is close in my book. So, your video game is wrong. I used to play counter stike and what they called (in the beta versions) a "desert eagle" is a 1911.....:rolleyes:

Welcome to THR and congrats on the purchase of the M&P. I was going to vote for that one anyway. They fit my hand a lot better. The XD45 I shot beat me up too. pmbiker nailed it. I have nothing else to add to that. Yeah, don't shoot the GAP ammo out of the M&P. Something tells me that...

I would say he was scoping you out but the smile lends me to believe Jorg's theory. Dunno. You made it home safe so I suppose all is well. The only thing that really stinks is that one of the only times I'm ever unarmed is when heading into the range. No loaded guns at my range.

Much like the others that have posted, I have a few (literally a few) friends from HS that are still great people then the rest range from "rather not talk" to one that I will clear leather next time I see him just in case he's still determined to kill me after 3 years of no contact. I...

I'll definitely check out that link. Thanks a lot for that. I saw the recoil plug. That's hilarious. I wouldn't put it on a carry gun I don't think but super cool nonetheless.

Well, I've read these clinic threads (as well as many of the other stickied 1911 threads) until my eyes and head hurt. Seriously, I'm turning off the computer after I click post cuz my eyes hurt. This is the thread that made it all "click" in my brain. Now I'm starting to actually understand...

Same here except I've only got about 350 through mine so far. That POS always goes bang and I've never even stripped it down yet. I just spray mine out with Gun Scrubber and shoot some Hoppes to it. Now that I think about it, only done that once. Granted, I don't hunt or shoot skeet so mine...

Thanks Jon. I'm detail stripping the AO now to see what it looks like on the inside (never been all the way into one before). Tuner offered to look it over for me to determine whether it's worthy of working on or not. All I have to do now is make it over there to see him. That'll be cool. If...

After a lot of reading I'm not so sure about messing with the Thompson as it's a Auto-Ordnance Thompson. At least one person (1911tuner) has expressed an opinion about them that makes me think it wouldn't be a real good one to start on. :confused:

Yes I did mean Chip McCormick and it's nice to hear good words about their products. I could've been hearing words from inexperienced folks. I was just shooting the breeze at the range when I heard that. IIRC it was the owner/ smith saying that but I could be wrong about that. Now I know...

I'm definitely getting all of the parts I can from EGW. Their prices aren't unreasonable in the least. I wasn't meaning that I was going to buy the cheapest parts I could find, but not the most expensive either. I don't want to go so cheap that they are out of spec at least. As far as thumb...
