I reallty like the feel of the 4 1/4 SW1911PD scandium framed 1911. Gotta save the cool "K" to get one but wondering what all your experience can tell me. Anybody have one? Problems? Your input is appreciated.

Just got a good deal on a set of Pachmayer Legend grips for my 45. Problem is I have ambi safety and the grips are not cut for that option on the RH side. Is the dremel the best tool? Lookin for some advice.

Has anyone installed this kit on thier 1911? I am curious as to how effective it is. Cylinder and Slide make this kit and according to the propaganda it states that you can carry your 1911 condition 2 but w/ safety on. When safety is pushed down hammer is cocked simotaneously therefore acting...

Not A Caliber War!!

Looking to purchase most likely and IWB style holster to conceal my full size 1911. Most likely a DeSantis "Tuck this" style. Looking for other possibilities. What works for you? I am not a large framed person 5'9 175 lbs. So a smaller handun will be in the future when finances allow but...

(Mods: looking for comments, I know this should go in the gunsmithing threads but looking for results and this is a more visited forum. Move if you have to) Looking for a good reputable gunsmith in Western Oregon who does HOT blueing and a good job of it. Any recommondations???

Being right handed shooter with a left dominant eye is driving me nuts. I have been trying to train my right eye but nothing seems to work. What tactics have you used and proven to work? It drives me nuts that I cannot keep both eyes open and get a sight picture w/ my right eye.

Here is my quandry. I am in the market for new 1911 and just spent quite some time at the gun counter closely comparing the SW1911PD to the Kimber custom carry. Ohh man. I must say that the SW w/ the scandium frame and ct grips is just plain sexy, good feelin and I am sure reliable. But...

Do you purchase all your SD/HD loads for your handguns? I have heard that in the legal circles there is a stigma behind SD handloads if ever faced with a legal battle over SD. The problem I face is that I cannot afford to practice with say Hydra-Shoks all the time. It just gets way to...

I am just the average Joe with no formal defensive training whatsoever. However I know my why around a handgun. My concern is what I like and what I should carry. I love the 1911's, the fit, feel, SAO trigger pull and currently own one. I practice regularly and can off hand repeatedly put 8...

Here in Oregon today I was listening to the Lars Larson radio program. I guess in Jackson County Oregon there is a push from a local news paper publisher to get his hands on a complete list of CCW holders in Oregon. This in response to the teacher who wants to carry in school for her protection...

Ijust spent the better part of an hour at my local Gun shop comparing these two models side by side. The XD I know has a stonger following just as the Glock and 1911 guys are very very loyal. But in all honesty the Taurus felt much better in my hand. Comparing closely I cannot really give a...

This post is basically in response to a thread on "will the 1911's fade away" postings. My question to all of you who argue that the 1911 design is unreliable and outdated in comparison to "modern" styles is : How so? What are the advantages other than magazine capacity? Safety? No-...

Hey question for you all. I was browsing through and studying the November/December issue of American Handgunner and came across and add for what appears to be the coolest shoulder rig I have ever come across but I have a couple of concerns with it. 1. Does anyone have any experience with...

Yeah yeah I know the glock guys and XD guys are reading this in disbelief or disgust thinking "oh no not another Taurus posting". Yeah well here it is. I own and am the proud owner of a PT1911 Taurus and it is a fine shooter. Expensive it is not, reliable yeah! Not a hiccup in 500 (est)...

It is all over the press already. It only took 24 hours for it to publically reveal it's ugly head. The political pundits are already guessing how the gun control issue will play into the 08 elections. IMHO we are in trouble. Unfortunatley the 2A is only as strong as the political party...

Man just saw the coolest sniper rifle on Future weapons tonight. The "shytech" (not sure of spelling) M200 .408. :what: I would hate to be the enemy with this gun after me in the hands of expert marksmen. No place to hide. It is just too cool:D Anyone else see this episode?

Whats the most challenging thing you do as far a shooting goes? For example: My buddy and I go after clay birds at 200+ yds with 10/22's off hand and or prone. Using binocs to "walk in" the shots. Kind of a sniper game. also try to accomplish the same results using buckmark's w/ open...

My folks both in their 60's are in AARP as well as my inlaws. Both are pro-gun but also like the benefits that come w/ being an AARP member. This I now is a conflict of interest as the AARP has some anti-gun elements. Any one in THR fence sitting on this issue?

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to using magnum primers in 45 ACP or 38 loads?
