I didn't mean to be too hard on Harmon, but first hand experience beats internet hearsay any day. My PT1911 has been great so far, so in two years of ownership I haven't had to deal with customer service. I am interested in first hand recent experience, since I have heard that they may be...
Well in defense of the SIS, I guess Kimber was looking for something that would set this series apart from the rest of their pistols. I sort of like it but I'm not in that league myself, I have a Taurus PT1911, ha, ha. Works just fine for half the price.
Any SIS owners out there care to comment on how easy or hard it is to rack the slide on these 1911s? My friend is having reservations on whether or not to go with another model due to the possible lack of positive serrations on the slide, especially with sweaty hands or maybe a little oil on...
Have you tried some plated bullets? They don't seem to get the gun as messy as lead with the waxy lube on them does. If you shoot a lot in one session, they help keep the pistol cleaner. There is nothing wrong with the new formula Unique, and I use it a lot. Don't give up on the FCD, it will...

Start with the Challenger press , don't worry about the Loadmaster for now, and work on each step of reloading a cartridge and before you know it you will be shooting your own pistol rounds. The Lee dies come with fairly good instructions on...
Rondog, I started loading my own 9X18s just the other day. I got some Starline brass and some Berry's plated bullets. So far they seem pretty nice with Unique powder(my old standby). Using cut down cases just doesn't sound worth it to me since the Starline isn't that bad on price when you...
The Taurus is $579 at a local sporting goods store here in the Houston area. I haven't seen any RIAs except occasionally at a gun show. The shooting range I go to has a Citadel for just under $600. It looks pretty good, but I wouldn't trade my PT1911 for it. I haven't seen any other 1911...
Well, I have one Colt, that must have a "tight" spec barrel, because it had the same problem that the OP has. My other 45s had no problems at all with my reloads. I got a Lee FCD and now all my reloads function reliably through the picky Colt. I agree with the above posters about things to...
Well the PT1911 gets a lot of bashing around this forum, but I still am very happy with mine. Its not a $1000 Kimber, but neither is the RIA. I like the idea of the tactical Rock a lot better than the GI one, since you are probably going to want some of the upgrades later on if not sooner. If...
