Southpaws rejoice :D Ruger is doin it

Curious about the durability of scandium framed 1911s. Want a LW 1911 for carry. I have owned a few 1911s in the past but am no expert. I understand there is something about the LW alluminum feed ramps being beat up (to what extent i am also curious). How is this new fangled scandium...

I have three in mind, if you could let me know your experiences and impressions with them I would appreciate it. These three are within the price range I am looking at. Roughly $800 Colt XSE Lightweight Para LTC PXT S&W 1911 PD Scandium frame I plan on turning this into what is to me a...

Months ago I started this thread and it seemed very popular so I thought I would bring it back. My intent is for all to read, post, learn. The last one got locked after a lot of good stories due to off topic posts and bickering. So here again is my story, and this time lets try to keep this...

Is it legal? Anyone have any experience? Thanks

:neener:I have joined the CZ club with a PCR. I have battled for months over what 9mm to get. The P01, Compact, PCR, S&W M&P, Glock 19 were what I narrowed it down to. Then the local Academy dropped the price on the PCR from $589 to $529 and enough was enough! No pic, sorry, its a box, stock...

I am getting one or other and also thinking of trying out IDPA to improve myself. I am not a huge fan of first shot DA and decockers, but the light weight frame of the P01 would aid in actual carry. For the Compact, I would think that for IDPA, that first shot DA followed by all single action...

I grew up in a strictly .45ACP household. Time after time my father would expound upon the greatness and superiority of the .45 over the wimpy little 9mm. How men had been rolled over after taking say, a hit to the thumb with the old 45, and how others had absorbed multiple strikes from a 9mm...

I am looking really hard at these. I had the opportuity to fondle the full size at a local store. Grip size is the same, but the mid size is a might shorter. Any experiences with them? If I pull the trigger on this, I can get a new one for $470. Thanks

I just talked with a friend of mine that recently retired from the Army as a MSgt. As he sat down with people from the VA signing paperwork, he came across a page that roused his interest. Mind you, he said he read every single page, to the frustration of the VA rep. he was dealing with. He...

Looking at them real hard, just cant find a lot of input about them on THR or anywhere else. Are they not catching on?

Has anyone had any experience or heard of a situation where someone used a laser in a defensive situation? I know details like that are often not discussed in media and print so anyone have with first hand experience or second hand stories want to weigh in? I have handled a few pistols with...

After reading numerous post about how nice a CZ feels, i finally went and held one. Now, I will be getting one. That pistol just plain points. Though the one I held was a decocker model and I would prefer the one with a safety.

I am in southern Texas, have posted this question under Gunsmithing with few hits (less people) What is a good cost estimate to have a commander sized 1911 (Colt or S&W) bobtailed? Second part, to have new Ed Brown beavertail memory grip safety installed as well? In the coming months I...

A few months back I was looking to buy a Securiy Six. I was checking pawn shops, hole in the wall places that might have one cheap. I went into this place and there in the case was a security six....sorta. Its frame was a Six but the barrel was a Colt Python. Four inches I believe, maybe...

How much would this typicaly run? I am in South Texas if anyone has knowledge of smiths in the area that do it.

Looking under S&W on the 1911 forums website, I saw a lot of Smith owners posting about issues and having to send the pistol in. I was thinking of getting a Smith 1911PD for carry but when I read posts like those I lean towards a Glock. What are your experiences with the Smith 1911s?

I will make it four.

Something like a fusion kit. How hard would it be to put together? With limited experience but a fair hand at tinkering. What tools are must haves and where is the best manual/guide for putting together a 1911?

I have had a couple of Glocks (36 and 23) a couple of 1911's (Springfield Ultra Compact and Charles Daly) all that I foolishly sold in my youth. Now, I want a pistol, one pistol that I can shoot the crap out of and carry a lot. I want a Commander sized 1911. But part of my brain says to get...
