Both of my holsters for my security six, i bought from the gunshop "bargain bin": used leather bianchi and desantis holsters that still had a lot of life left in them. K frame holsters work well.

Well, after disassembling the Commander and reassembling with two different triggers, I have determined that the lack of pre travel is caused by the Nighthawk custom trigger stirrup being out of spec. A trigger from my Kimber and a trigger borrowed from a friend both fit, and allowed sufficient...

This is the hammer...don't mind the first-timer duracoat job...

My 'smith was unable to help, I will post pics later today

Thanks everyone!

@1911 Tuner: The hammer still falls when pressure is put on the back of the spur and the trigger is pulled. I did notice something interesting, however: If you pull the slide back a tiny bit (1/4") the hammer will click into position, and be unaffected by the trigger. The trigger will move...

I didn't know there was a difference between series 70 and 80 hammers. I bought the gun used. At half cock, the hammer sits further back from the slide than my Kimber. What about trying different disconnectors?

As far as I know, the hammer is original, and the Commander was manufactured in 1972. Upon inspection earlier today, the Nighthawk trigger protrudes slightly further than the edge of the trigger channel. How do I remedy this? I am leery of removing metal from the disconnector.

This is a Series 70 gun. @CAWalter: That would mean I have to back out the trigger adjustment screw?

I recently finished my first 1911 build, basically modernizing a Colt Combat Commander with a Duracoat paint job, beavertail safety, enlarged thumb safety, flat MSH, and a medium length trigger. I kept the original Colt Hammer, Sear and disconnector. After test firing several hundred rounds...

Seems to me that if a person's hands are too small to adequately control the weapon, they should not be firing it. I have relatively small hands and I can really only fire the 92 in single action.

Stay away from the IAC 1897s. My friend's discharged and blew a hole in his ceiling while he was unloading it.

Hey folks, I will being going to Yavapai College's Gunsmithing program in Prescott, AZ, starting in the fall. Are there any good ranges to join in that area of AZ? Also, I hear you can just go out into the desert and shoot. Are there any good spots in the desert for this?

Got a used Buck Mark for $230 OTD. Great gun.

Found a '72 Colt Combat Commander at my LGS....picked it up for $450+tax

Found a Series 70 Colt Combat Commander at my LGS. Seems to be in good shape mechanically, has no finish remaining. The dealer said that they stripped the finish in order to make it presentable. (Apparently the previous owner shot it very little but did not maintain it.) I took it apart...

I recently purchased a Browning Buck Mark pistol. After giving it a thorough cleaning and replacing the buffer, i discovered that 3 out of the 4 magazines i purchased do not "lock" into the magazine well. Even after attempting to seat the mag with a firm slap, the magazine would pop out. I...

I think the best course of action right now is to contact your reps and tell them that you want National Constitutional Carry, and the 1968 and 1986 laws repealed. We (firearm owners) as a voting block need to stop being reactive and start being proactive, before the left can ram through...

Iron Wood designs has a stock for Mak90s...a bit pricey, but it is American made and cut to fit that rifle. http://www.ironwooddesigns.com/IWDsite/IWD1pcparts.html
