I'm a member at an outdoor private sportmen's club about 10 minutes down the road from my house. It has a number of things to offer: pistol - bowling pins/steel plate racks/tactical range for paper and use of barriers, etc.; rifle - 100 yds down to zero yds; shotgun - trap and skeet (automated...

Thanks. I generally like the look of the gun a lot, but I agree that the hammer is a bit out of place with the rest of the gun. The only other stainless that is visible is end of the bull barrel on the muzzle end. I actually considered getting a stainless version of the ambi thumb safety...

Just wanted to update everyone about my new Aker B21 belt. It is very nice looking and seems to be of quality construction. Also, I called Aker to ask a few questions before ordering, and they were very helpful and nice to talk to. I've been wearing it almost every day for just over a week...

Well, here it is. I've had it to the range twice now with a total of just over 250 rounds through it. I've had a few failure to feeds, but nothing unexpected considering that it's still in the break-in period. I love the feel and I've been really happy with my accuracy so far... and I'm...

The Belt Man belts look REALLY nice. I especially love the impression versions. Very sharp. Maybe eventually I'll spring for one, but for now, they're a bit too rich for my blood. I decided to order the Aker B21 belt. It supposedly uses a polymer insert also, so I'm hoping for best, but I'm...

Thanks again for all of the advice. I ended up getting an STI Spartan III from Budsgunshop.com. When it was all said and done, I ended up paying $588 (insured and shipped to my LGS) + a $25 transfer fee. I can hardly wait for it to arrive! I think I'm really going to like it. I'll post...

Thanks for the info... very good to know! I was just about to order the Looper belt, but in light of these comments, I'm glad I held off a bit. I think I'll be ordering an Aker belt instead. I've seen a few other positive reviews for the Aker belt, and it's basically the same cost. Thanks...

How about Aker belts?

I'm looking for a good holster belt to carry an officer's size 1911 (and sometimes a full size) for concealed carry, and I don't want to completely breaking the bank. I have seen the Looper Reinforced Holster Belt mentioned on some gun forum during a past search. It's been a while, but I...

I've bought used before, but for this one, I think I want to go with new. Thanks for the option though, and good luck selling it. It sounds like they're popular enough that you shouldn't have too much trouble.

No kidding, that advertisement is loud! I've gone there before at night when everyone else in my house was sleeping, and I thought the whole house was going to be awake by the time I got it down to a reasonable volume.

Thanks for the link and the heads up about Arnel. VERY good to know. I'll keep it on the down low. ;) Unfortunately, I'm going to have to hold off on doing anything like that until my "fun fund" recovers a bit after my upcoming CS purchase, but I'll definitely read up on it and keep it in...

Sorry to hear you had trouble with your first one. At least the second one is functioning the way it should have in the first place. I guess that's where RIA's great customer service comes into play. Kind of a reassuring thought that they'll stand behind their stuff if things go downhill...

I'm getting very close to moving on one of these guns, so it's good to know that you (and so many others) are having such good luck with yours. I have a feeling that you're right about the various manufacturers figuring out the basic problems that used to exist. It makes sense, because if they...

Sounds like you have a great set-up. I love the fact that there are so many good mags on the market to pick from. Makes it pretty easy to try out a different mag as a possible quick fix if you ever experience feed issues. That's yet another reason I've fallen in love with the 1911 in general...

I know that the sub-compact 1911s probably won't be perfect (honestly though, what gun is?). I have heard many times that the closer you get to the 3" length, the more problems generally occur. That's the main reason why I'm only considering the 3 1/2" length -- it seems to be as close to a...

Thanks for the suggestion. I did consider the commander, but for this next one, I'm really looking for the shorter grip length of the officer's size frame. For me, the slide length doesn't bother me as much as the grip length for concealment. I would like to add a commander to my collection...

I have been finding very little info about the Spartan III. It seems like there must not be too many owners of that model yet... or they're just very quiet people. :D I found some stuff on the commander length and full size Spartans that was very positive, so I guess I could probably assume...

I noticed that the Citadel comes with an extra mag... interesting. It looked to me, and it sounds like the consensus here so far that either model would be great. Good to hear.

Hello. I've been lurking around here for quite some time, but I just became a member today. This is my first time posting to this forum, and I need some help. I know there are some very knowledgeable members on this forum, so I'm really looking forward to all of your responses. I'm looking...
