    2011 magazines?

    2011 style with replaceable grip module. Neither is Para format. Apollo 11 is from Live Free Armory, the new Tisas is from... Tisas. Or SDS? I think Tisas is the manufacturer and SDS distributes. Apollo has full-length rail and lots of slide cuts, as well as being optic ready. Tisas has a...

    2011 magazines?

    I'm considering making a jump into the 2011 arena, after exclusively shooting single-stack 1911s my whole life. I hear that the mags can be finicky. What can you all recommend both in terms of quality brands that will last, as well as good sources from which to purchase? FYI, I'm looking at...

    Mec-Gar 1911 9mm magazines

    No problems with mine, I have 5 I use with my RIA full size.

    Undercut 1911 trigger guard - worth it?

    Yes, I saw several pics in my searching that are pretty obviously an undercut taken too far, as is the pic you mention. I don't want anything like that. I was planning to use the current Colt and SDS/Tisas offerings as a guide. Colt...

    Undercut 1911 trigger guard - worth it?

    As mentioned, I don't feel the need for an undercut on full-size 1911s, which would include the Commander-size pistols. I really think the CCO is cool for what it is so I was considering the modification to make the shorter grip work for me. I'm still thinking. Hoping to get to my LGS soon...

    CZ P-01 vs. Shadow 2 Compact

    @sevt_chevelle thanks for that info. I need to put my hands on one, at least. @actionexpress I'd be trying to sell my P01 locally if I decide to move forward on this. The only time I tried to trade a firearm, I was offered less than half of what I ultimately sold it for; even not knowing the...

    Undercut 1911 trigger guard - worth it?

    Thanks for all input. I think I need to find a gun with the cut to put my hands on...

    Undercut 1911 trigger guard - worth it?

    I have an RIA compact 9mm 1911. It's a CCO-pattern (Commander-length slide on Officer frame). The frame is aluminum. It shoots great but I've started to wish I could get more of my biggish hand on the grip. After seeing pics of the newer Colt 1911s and the SDS guns that aren't the GI-style...

    CZ P-01 vs. Shadow 2 Compact

    Yup, I've got the want. I've had a CZ P01 since 2017. Bought used but pristine locally. I put LOK grips on it, added factory CZ night sights, and a CGW "old style" trigger and otherwise have just shot it. However, since picking up a P10C in 2020 or so, I find that I shoot that one (and my...

    Meant to post this back on Christmas

    Wonderful gift. Why the change to the ring hammer? I have the "Army" version with the spur hammer, I'm just curious.

    CZ P10 extended slide stop - OEM

    That's my instinct. It's a great picture though, I wish it were real. Which is how I generally shoot this pistol and a few others (slingshot). I like options though, so I'll keep looking and hoping.

    CZ P10 extended slide stop - OEM

    I posted this on the CZ forum and haven't yet gotten any answer. I'm curious if anyone here has run across this: I've wished for a bigger slide stop for my P10 for some time. I've seen the Apex offering, which to me is too wide (especially since it's on both sides) as well as the one from CZC...

    CZ 75 sight recommendations needed

    Just picked up Night Fision for my SP01. I liked the factory night sights before that (they're dim and need replaced, hence the new set), they're a nice basic 3-dot setup. Pretty sure they are Meprolight.

    AAC ammo - opinions?

    I can't purchase anything locally that's inexpensive. PSA ships. Sorry for the confusion.

    AAC ammo - opinions?

    I am curious what experiences folks have had with AAC ammo from Palmetto State. I am looking for some more budget-oriented training ammo than is generally available for me to purchase locally. Specifically, I'm curious about muzzle flash and noise. I have tried a lot of different ammo brands...

    1911 Hammer bite - remedies?

    Thanks for all input so far. Would love to see other pictures if anyone has one. I have zero problems with my other 1911s as they all have more modern beavertail grip safeties. I knew that getting bitten was a possibility with a GI-type gun before buying it, but, well, I wanted one. I am...

    1911 Hammer bite - remedies?

    I have wanted a "GI"-pattern 1911 for many years. When the newer offerings from Tisas hit the market they piqued my interest. Recently Palmetto ran a special and I picked one up. I had it to the range for the first time today for a 100-round familiarization. All my other 1911s have the...

    Are you "Gun Amish?" Or do you have a Red Dot on your pistol?

    Bringing this back up. Here's my hot take: 1. It's obvious that MRD sights are effective and fast, particularly as people become more used to them. 2. While I really have nothing against using them, my primary arguments against them have been a) durability, b) they require batteries, and c)...

    New CZ dropped.

    Since it comes with (what I think) are the newer 15-rd mags, will the older 14-rd Compact/P01 mags fit/function?

    Are you "Gun Amish?" Or do you have a Red Dot on your pistol?

    No dots here except on my Ruger MkIV - but that one I got in trade (the MRD, that is), and the pistol was easily adaptable with an inexpensive mount. None of my centerfire pistols have a dot and for me it's mostly from a financial standpoint; to outfit my collection would be a considerable...
