Thanks for all of the info. I have shipped through UPS before and had no problems. I looked up the UPS policy, and State and Fed laws on this. I called the owner of the UPS store in Fredericksburg TX and told him that I was alowed to mail a pistol. He told me, "I don't care. You shouldnt...

Quick question: I have a pistol that I own and I am sending it back to a custom shop to have some work completed. Who can I mail the gun through? UPS, FedEx? My understanding is that I do not need an FFL because this is not for buying the gun and it will need to go second day air. This will...

What are the pro’s and con’s on the Black T finish and the Armory Kote finish (both through the SA Custom shop)? I will need to have my 1911 refinished soon and both of these finishes have jumped out at me. Thanks for your input, James S.

Thanks y'all. I will stick with the original barrel. The gun shoots great as it is now and has a great fit. I will send it off this month and was told I would expect to wait about 8 to 10 week for it to return home. Pic's posted as soon as I get it back. Thanks again and stay safe...

I have never heard of Shumann barrels. Could you add a link please. Thanks for your input. Greatly appreciated. James S.

I received my SA 1911-Loaded (PX9109) a week ago. I have replaced the hammer (Wilson), trigger (Wilson), extractor (Wilson), sear (Wilson), sear spring (STI titanium), disconnector (STI), mainspring housing (Wislon), mainspring cap (titanium), mainspring cap retainer (stainless), the hammer...

Stans, 3.5 is a very light trigger pull. I will re-evaluate the trigger pull and test more pistols with different pull settings. Thanks for your input and I will let ya know what happenes. Blues Bear, I read the long thread between BR and RMA. I also really liked the pic's you have...

Thanks for the input. Greatly appreciated. Stay safe, James S.

Hey everyone, I have a few questions. I have a new Springfield Armory 1911-Loaded. I need some work done though. I would like to have the front strap checkered to 25 or 30 LPI (have not decided on which yet), the rear of the magazine well beveled more, a "trigger job" with trigger set to...

That was the plan with the Ed Brown memory groove beaver tail safety. I like the write up on that part and have yet to talk with someone who has put this safety to practical use. Thanks for the input. James S.

I am going to build a 1911 and would like any input on what everyone likes and has worked for them. I am using a Rock River Arms frame and slide; 5 “ with double serrations. Other than that, I am open to suggestions on all parts and the final finish of the pistol. I like Wilson Combat...

I support CCW completely. I have not had any problems with those that carry legally. I have had major problems with those that are not supposed to have any type of fire arm. I have been in a knock-down-drag-out fight with a felon over his illegal fire arm (several reasons for not using deadly...

I'll take five #1 in BLUE . Stay Safe, James S.
