    Buying my first AR15. Need input

    I've been happy with both Spikes and Stag. The Spikes rifle I have, I put together myself. It was very easy and I got the features I wanted without paying for stuff I didnt want. PSA has great deals and that's what I would probably do if I ever wanted another AR

    Best 1911 for under $1500? TRP?

    I have about 1500 rounds through my Springfield MC Operator. Runs great. I only have 250 rounds through my Dan Wesson. It's had a few teething problems but it's much tighter and has better attention to detail than the Springfield. Once I have the DW broken in, ill carry it. The MC...

    About to settle on a 1911, but need your input first

    Pretty much sounds like you want a Springfield MC Operator. Has everything you listed except the ledge sight. Thats easy to change.

    Browning 1911 .380

    I may consider one as a replacement for my colt .380 government. I love the little colt but is definitely an up close gun as accuracy stinks past 5 yards. I still carry it but feel like it's a poor compromise and am starting to carry a Dan Wesson ECO 9 as soon as I get a good holster for it...

    Gun cleaning

    I won't carry a clean gun. Maybe I didn't put it back together again. I don't keep them dirty dirty but my carry gun and night stand gun gets test fired after cleaning.

    Some SA Range Officer questions

    I put a Heine ez lock sight on mine and I put a different thumb safety that wasn't as sharp on it too. I haven't carried it but certainly would in its current configuration. Runs great.

    Why aren't there BHP clones in the $450 range?

    I wish I'd keep my DalyHP. The finish is really nice the sights are good and it is easy to c&s parts it. I sold it bc I.hated the roll Mark. Short sided of me. It really was a nice gun and would have been perfect to keep in car or pack.

    Losing Faith in the 1911. Help

    I have had 8 1911s. 2 needed slight adjustments to either the magazines I was using or a bit more extractor tension. The others worked 100% I still have 2. Both work 100% I change the springs every 3000 rounds and inspect the mags. I get rid of any mags that have been damaged by dropping...

    1911 slide release question?

    Tark I don't know who you are or where you work but amen to that. I have never ever seen someone so enraged as the guy at my local ipda match who turned purple trying to rack the slide on his brand new Baer. Admitted, it was a beautiful gun and I'm sure it broke it eventually but that day, in...

    Can you identify this? I can't

    Not a hi power. The recoil guide rod sticking out below the barrel on the front of the slide is incorrect for a hi power as is the thickened slide rail area. MAB pistol is probably correct especially given the French activity in large parts of Africa in the 50s 60s and 70s.

    Used "upgraded" gun prices

    I also hesitate to buy an 1911 that has been customized. I once bought a used Colt Combat Elite with a "match" trigger. The sear was very much over cut and dangerous. Luckily I have developed a habit of load only one round when firing a used gun for the first time. Glad I did with that...
