    Are there any 38 super fan out around ?

    I'm a fan. Got a bright stainless Colt "Custom" Government Model and a Springfield Mil-Spec also. Had a RIA but traded it for more 38 Super ammo after getting the Springfield. I also have Colt 38 Super Commander project too, still collecting parts for it.

    Anyone else like VZ grips on their 1911s? *** Pic heavy***

    VZ slim line DD's in black and gray on a Les Baer UTC (no FCS). Sorry about the camera flash, wouldn't focus without it.

    How easy would it be to convert a 1911 in .38 Super to 9MM?

    That seems about right for the conversion stuff. But wouldn't it be cheaper to buy one already in 9mm? Unless you really plan on getting into 38 Super later. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=245618325 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=246059009

    Sprinfield Mil-Spec versus Taurus

    I have a Mil-Spec and my father has a PT1911. For all the extras that you get, the Taurus is a good value for the money. Since you already modified a Mil-Spec before. Do you want another with the a beavertail etc? I went with the Mil-Spec because of the plain looks (don't care for front slide...

    BHP Questions (SFS?)

    I have no experience with the FEG or CD HP, but I would wait and get a FN or Browning.

    BHP Questions (SFS?)

    Any Browning marked HP is going to made by FN. So no difference in quality. With the SFS kit installed it will be at a half-cock with the safety on. Disengage the safety the hammer goes to a full cock. I found no difference in trigger pull between mine with the SFS kit and my standard...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Thanks for your help. Yes it's DAO, it won't hold back into single action. I plan on leaving it like that. Got the Model 10 and a 586 I can use for SA. Once I get some replacement grips for the Model 10, I'll start a thread and post a video link.

    Springfield 1911 Loaded problems

    I know what you mean. I generally like shooting by myself so I can be more lax. But it is an easy way to pick up bad habits. If I am shooting with someone else, I'm well aware of my muzzle. My first few shots you can see I re-tighten my grip (just the ends of my fingers) and then I'm...

    Springfield 1911 Loaded problems

    While I guess I should be more aware of my muzzle. I'm completely surrounded by woods and nobody else is there but me. The camera is on a tripod. If someone else was doing the filming, I wouldn't have pointed towards them.

    Springfield 1911 Loaded problems

    Since the gun was used, I figured it needed a spring change, I didn't think an 18 lb spring would cause problems. No I haven't removed or cleaned the extractor lately. I'll do a detail clean tomorrow. Thanks for the help guys.

    Springfield 1911 Loaded problems

    Recoil spring has been changed. I went with a slightly heavier spring than standard, 18 lb. Do I need to go back to a 16 lb because of WWB?

    Springfield 1911 Loaded problems

    I have Springfield Loaded I purchased several months ago. Overall it has been a good shooting gun. Today when I had it out it stovepiped on me twice. The cases were beat to hell when it did it. Ammo is WWB, bought it about a week ago. It had this same problem the last time I had it out...

    Springfield MilSpec 1911

    Yes it is. You see the SA .38 supers come up for sale in parkerized sometimes, but never in nickel.

    Springfield MilSpec 1911

    I have an older blued Loaded and a newer Mil-Spec stainless. The Loaded was bought used and had some custom work done prior to me purchasing the gun. Magwell, front strap checkering etc. So I can't give a good comparison for a factory Loaded vs factory Mil-Spec. I don't care for the Loaded...

    Problems with my Desert Eagle today

    That was the number one issue I had with mine. Replacing the recoil springs and mag springs might help. I did that on mine, it still did it. They don't like being dirty either. Also you said you were shooting by resting the grip on the rest. If I remember right, Desert Eagles magazines are...

    Questions about an early MK I Desert Eagle

    Mine was okay reliable as long as your were shooting good ammo. (They don't like being dirty either) The recommended grain bullet is 158. I shot down to 125 grain and it cycled fine but wouldn't lock the slide back. The Mark I's have the tear drop safety and single step slide release. The Mark...

    1911 vs 1911a1 embarrassing question.

    Pretty much every 1911 today is an "A1" One changes from the M1911 to the M1911A1 was the relief cuts on the frame behind the trigger. Almost all current 1911s made today have that. Only Colt's WWI reproduction doesn't have it, which is correct for its time period. While there were other...

    Opinions needed on the Para GI Expert

    I had one, ended up trading it and another handgun for an AR. It was fairly reliable even though it was still in the break in process. Just a few misfeeds. It could have been certain mags or ammo, but traded it before I was able to give it a better diagnoses. When I bought mine I wanted a...
