Thank you all for the responses. I greatly appreciate the input, as well as the starting points for my search.

I own a gen3 G21 and it fits me just fine. I do have large hands, however, and it feels great to me. If I opt to CCW my g21 I use a shoulder holster, just my personal preference. As for a g20, I don't have any experience with them beyond .45 counterpart I own, but the 10mm auto is a proven...

I'm considering expanding on my long range shooting ability, as well as possibly participating in long range shooting competitions in the future. I've got pre-conceived ideas in what I'm looking for in a precision rifle. However, I'm not entirely sure where to start. Quality of the weapon is...

I'm pretty sure they have barrels/ upper assemblies in 14.5

I noticed the same thing with my first AR build also. You don't have to worry about it at all. Once you get an upper completed and put on there, chances are you'll quickly forget that it even concerned you in the first place.

Another advantage I'd note is recoil reduction. Granted AR-15 type weapons don't have much recoil to begin with, I've noticed (personally) that rifles with the full length gas system have less perceived recoil than the mid-length and carbine length gas systems.

Man... So many people have brought this up. You need to find a CCW firearm that fits you. If you're good with the gun, find a way to carry it. I'm not trying to be rude, but I've seen this "I want this, but not that" it's getting old. My daily CCW is either a glock 21 or full size 1911. I...

26 years old Lately I've been carrying a stainless Springfield loaded 1911, but I bought a Ruger SR1911 a couple of weeks ago. Once I get a few hundred more rounds through the Ruger, it will probably replace the Springfield for EDC.

I wouldn't say I necessarily have a bad gun, but the one I care the least about is a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 dated 1942. The bore is pitted, it has light surface rust on roughly 60% of the barrel and receiver, and sometimes the bolt "locks up" when firing it and I have to give it a hard smack to...

Ruger sr1911 5"

With Christmas coming up next month, holiday bonus time at work is also just around the corner. I've been pretty set on getting a new gun, and since I bought a 1911 with my June bonus, I decided to go with a rifle this time. I owned an AR a few years ago, but when I got laid off at the last...

Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 Stainless. Replaced the 2-piece guide rod with a stainless Wilson Combat bulletproof GI guide rod and stainless recoil spring plug. Put on an Ed Brown flat stainless MSH, and Ed Brown Match trigger. I eventually want to have the front strap and MSH checkered or...

Thanks for the replies. I just don't understand where some people think they're junk. Like I said, mine function perfectly.

I apologize if this has been covered before, but I tried searching it and haven't found anything that helps me. The question I have is whether or not Springfield Armory factory 1911 magazines are really as bad as a lot of people make them out to be? I understand they don't have an anti-tilt...
