    polls on SB 23 for Tennessee - please vote

    Again, the focus of this poll is related to being able to legally carry into a place that serves alcohol, provided that you are not being served alcohol, per TN Senate Bill 23. Concerns about drinking are a non-issue in this case. In TN, we have not been allowed to legally carry into a...

    1911 Hammer/Sear Engagement Surface?

    Thanks, Old Fuff. Looks like I may be calling Marstar in the near future for extractors and a look-alike USGI thumb safety. Now, if Tuner will chime in...? Tuner, oh Tuner, where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? :D :D :D

    Yup, via Tuner's advice, I ordered 10 Springfield (read Metalform) 7-round mags with my "loaded" coupon and upgraded them with Wolff 11lb. springs and have fired off many rounds now with nary a hiccup. Thanks, Tuner!!!! I will be ordering some stainless versions from Metalform soon. Old...

    1911 Hammer/Sear Engagement Surface?

    Thank you again, Old Fuff! That thread was highly informative. I appreciate your patience with a guy who is learning a little at a time and has little time to do so. I will order the Kuhnhausen manual and study it. You have pointed me in this direction before; unfortunately, I haven't picked...

    1911 Hammer/Sear Engagement Surface?

    Okay, Old Fuff, I will have a "search" with another slice of humble pie on the side. :) Actually, I had already done this but did not find what I was looking for. Of course, I might have overlooked it. Regardless, according to Mr. Tuner, you need at least .021 depth on the hammer hooks...

    Has anyone tried the Wolff 7-rounders yet? If so, what is your opinion? Do they handle a variety of bullet profiles well? Does Wolff = Metalform? I appreciate your input. Slabslinger Out

    1911 Thumb Safety - Who knows...?

    I was examining an older Colt GM that I just picked up, and it looks as though the thumb safety over-extends in the off position... not so much that the safety plunger is in danger of overriding the detent in the thumb safety, but it is noticeable. Would this only be due to a weak plunger...

    1911 Question - Tuner, Ol' Fuff, Best Barrel Bushing?

    I just picked up a very early 70 series Colt GM which has the collet bushing. I would like to replace this with a solid bushing. Who makes the best "drop-in" part that is forged? If a "drop-in" part is not recommended, is this a part that I could easily fit myself? If so, how? Thanks for...

    I have an XD, as do some friends of mine. After seeing finish issues firsthand, I had mine hardchromed. Have him Duracoat your piece and don't look back.
