I've just gotten my first 1911. It's an RIA 1911A1 full size two-tone Tactical with ambi safeties. I was told that I should not change anything on the gun till I had shot it quite a bit first. Except the thumb safety should be replaced immediately. I don't need ambi safeties anyways, and they...

Thank you! One more question, it has ambi safeties, and I don't need it to be, in fact it interferes with the possibility of changing to those new grips later on. Can I remove the one and just replace the other?

Ok, that sounds good I've only got about 75 in it now, but the way I shoot it should only take a little while. Just wondering if the same is true for the tactical model? It has a commander hammer and beavertrail grip safety, I really don't know anything thing about them, so are they subject to...

Thanks, Yea I have a pair of Delta Elite wraparound grips, nice rubber that I like, but they aren't for ambi safety, so I would need to cut them. I have pics on my blog of them with and without the Delta Elites.

I'm starting to get into competition shooting a little, and I just ordered a 200 grain SWC .45 bullet mold. We are trying out some different lubes and I wanted to know what other people like. So far we have used a 50/50 paraffin/beeswax lube, but we have to do a lot of work to get it so they...

Thanks, yea I sure did have fun!

I just got my first 1911 on Saturday and went out and shot it yesterday! I got the RIA 2 tone tactical! It shoots like a dream, first 3 shots with it got me an 1 1/2" group! I didn't plan on it but my first time shooting it ended up being in an IPSC match! So now I know what owning a 1911 feels...

My husband took me to the gun show this weekend so that I could find my next gun, the one I've been dreaming of, my first 1911! and a Beretta 92FS! I know what I like, and I think if your wives shoot at all, they will know what they want too! I've got pics and info on my guns on my blog...

I got a 1911 today! Well, actually we ended up spending a months income on guns, I got the RIA 1911FS Tactical two tone! A Beretta 92FS INOX! an SKS and a Mosin Nagant M91/30 1935 Sniper Rifle also. I also got a pair of Delta Elite 1911 pistol grips but the 1911 has ambi safty, so I have to cut...

I got the chance to shoot a Regent 1911 yesterday. I've heard a LOT of bad things about them, but this one was owned by a man who had gotten a Rock and didn't like it at all (He didn't say why) and sold it and got the Regent, and was perfectly happy with it. It shoot good as far as I could tell...

Sorry ZeBool, married over a year now. But he knows he's lucky, as he states daily. But I'm flattered anyway. (I used to swing both ways, so it didn't hurt to ask) :)

I was out 7 yards I believe.

Yea, I'm looking forward to having my own 1911, plan on getting an RIA next week. I've heard some bad things about Regent, so I wont get one, but I was glad that I got to use it for a bit. Very nice guy to let me borrow it. I get a chance sunday to shot 3 different 1911's, an RIA, a...

Oh I think I had the habit before I even got one in my hand. It was funny that the guy that was letting me use it was like "Now be carefull little lady cause this is going to kick like a ##&$*" What he didn't know is that I had been shooting a lot of the KAHR CW-45 and that is a very light .45...

Ok, had to show off my target from my first experience with a 1911. This was a Regent 1911 FS. Target one, all shots but the initialed ones are mine. Sorry about the size of picture! Don't know how to make it bigger. Anyways, if you want to see the rest of my first shoots with the 1911 check out...
