Old thread but here's my experience with the PT145 Mil-Pro. Bought it new in march 2013. The mag catch was hard to work, very hard to release the two taurus mags that came with it and even harder with the Pro-Mag spare mag I bought new. After the first outing, the mag catch problem got even...

Like many have said, the HB can be an accurate gun. In 1911s, that means it has a good barrel and lock up. They are a bit funky and do have a deserved bad rep for quality control. It seems that they were assembled and not fit. They were assembled by folks that didn't know how to build 1911 style...

Shooting tons of hardball is pointless to establish reliability if you are carrying HP. Reliability with the actual ammo is the only relevant thing. Besides that, if there is a reliability problem with hardball, that needs to be corrected first as there is something wrong with a gun that has any...

The ability to shoot any one bullet type and loading configuration does NOT guarantee that it will shoot anything. I used to think that my pistols that loved 200gn SWC cast bullets would shoot anything myself. I ran into a number of HP loads that immediately proved this wrong and a possibly...

SniperX, it's been a long time since I had mine apart. I seem to recall that a Colt sear spring will work in the HB. I think AMT made most if not all of their own parts. Since they were making them for their own guns, they might have had slight discrepancies from "Colt specs", and I suspect...

The AMT pistols certainly seem to be getting a bad rap, some of it deservedly, some, not so much. They did suffer some quality control issues, but they can be tuned up in the same manner as any 1911. I had one come in with barrel ramp overlapping the frame ramp. That should never have left the...

I'll justify my gun collection when Al Gore justifies all of his jet airplanes and energy gluttonous mansions while telling us we need to stop using petroleum and turn our thermostates to 65 F.

Newbie as of today here. I used to shoot and build 1911s a lot and still shoot and load for .45acp regularly. I am getting back into shooting long guns, target mostly now. I am a life member of NRA and SAF and strongly support 2nd amendment. It is critical now as much as ever to preserve the 2nd...
