sometimes when i chamber a round more than once in my springfield milspec 1911, the bullet gets pushed farther into the cartridge casing making it shorter. this has happened with all brands of hollow points i've tried and occasionally with ball ammo. this is annoying because i can't go from no...

another vote for the Sprngfield mil-spec. i bought a stainless steel model. my buddy liked it so much he went out and bought a parkerized model. lotta gun for not a lotta dough. _______ when guns are outlawed then i will become an outlaw

thanks to Chrome's 1911 exploded view sticky, i now realize that what i thought was a guide rod was merely the recoil spring plug. yes i'm a newbie! i will be editing my question before too many of you are exposed to my ignorance! sorry for the confusion. _______ when guns are outlawed, then i...

so i was pleasently surprised when a friend informed me that i could charge my 1911 while holding it with one hand by pushing the the recoil spring plug against an inanimate object. is that the main reason why mil-spec 1911's are made with no guide rod so you can chamber a round using only your...

excellent thread, this should be interesting. IMHO, i would use an M4 in 5.56 as long as i could pick the cartridges, .223hp. if not, and the choice would be between 7.62Nato or 5.56Nato only, definitily 7.62. what would i carry? how about an m60! _________ when guns are outlawed, then i will...

i wouldn't say .380 is too weak, but it's definitely the least caliber pistol suitable for personal defense. many law enforcement officers use it as a back-up, undercover or off duty caliber. the .380 shares basic rim and head dimensions with the 9x19mm luger cartridge. basicallly, the .380 is a...

i enjoyed reading all the posts in this thread! IMHO i think he still would be packing a S&W 29 in that shoulder holster of his! _______ i know what you're thinking, "did he fire five shots or did he fire six?" to be honest in all the confusion i've lost track myself. but seeing as how this...

.45 because chambering it in anything else would be like trying to improve the Mona Lisa using finger paint. :) ________ when guns are outlawed, then i will become an outlaw

no it does not say mil-spec on the side. left side- MODEL 1911- A1 CAL .45, right side- SPRINGFIELD ARMORY (springfield logo). i agree with the posts that say spend the extra money on a Loaded model and get the upgrades you want. i bought mine because i wanted the simplicity of the mil-spec...

sorry but i had to laugh when i read your post! i was re-living the first time i dis&ass'd mine. when i was trying to line the grooves for the slide release up i pushed the slide too far back and it got stuck. so what did i do? i put my palm on the back of the slide and pushed real hard. the...

another vote for .308! seems to be an all-purpose cartridge. i guess the caliber choice is going to come down to what your local gun shop has, huh? keep us posted on your decision! _________ when guns are outlawed, then i will become an outlaw
