So, I understand these are drying up; anyone know of a replacement scheme? I understand a 20# flat wire will work with some finagling in a -1, but what for a -2? And for that matter, am I just SOL for my CS-45? TIA, J

Is Colt Defender slide drop on to Officers model frame, or do rails and recoil channel need to be cut back and if so how much? Please only respond if you know. TIA, J IF IT WAS SAFE, I WOULDN'T BE ASKING...

Have old style Para frame kit and Springfield Champion upper I plan to build up with. I know the rails on a kit this old are cut for a "drop-on" install of a 1911 upper. (Yeah, it's one of the OLD ones) will I have to shorten the rails to Commander length as well for a SA short upper? Anybody...

that would drop into on the Springfield Armoury adjustable sight cut? I'm thinkin' about the Mark Waki design Wilson markets, but at any rate, don't think it would work to recut the Springer (and don't wanna). Would something else fit in their cut? Would it offer any improvement over the SA...

Input Please? Found a sweet deal I think...

STILL HAVE ONE IN THE PARTS BOX; one of the high ride ones with checkered speed bump. As Kings is gone, who best to install it on a Para kit frame? TIA, J

5"; whatcha recommend? Looks a lot like an old 4506 holster is my best shot. J

Just tried to look them up and couldn't find them... Most upsetting. J

Can't find her site anymore...J

Looking at DCs' knee-jerk response to yesterdays murders and the rush to harness blame to a political agenda. It was simply murder with a manifesto to justify it. The shooter somehow convinced himself he had the right. No, He didn't; and the gun didn't make him. I would think we should be...

So, I purchased a G30 when they first came out; when I took it to the range to check it out, noticed it seemed to twist in my hand and did not pass go on my way to trade it. Ten years later, offered a deal I couldn't pass up and told myself "Maybe it was just me" Nope, it wasn't. Love the...

S&W CS-45 slide on 4516 or 457 frame? Does it work? TIA J

Notice on GB no one can get rid of them fast enough, and haven't seen a "straight" 4566 there in ages. What's the beef; yeah, I know they're heavy, all steel guns and thus are out of fashion with everybody but me, and the 4566 and 4567 I used to own weren't the sharpest knives in the drawer...

Bought a used Kimber Super Carry Pro; looks like some kydex, holster(?) handling wear on slide; if I send it back to Kimber will they touch it up under warranty (Does warranty follow the gun) otherwise she's going to Robar. Thanks, J

Please view attached photos: Barrel only is from Colt Defender, Parts kit is from Kimber Ultra series 1 parts kit; both purchased on GB. But as I have come to know Kimbers better, the parts kit barrel looks kind of weird to me, 1. Is that a very early Kimber Ultra barrel, or something cobbled...

On 4566 frame? Anybody know? Nope; that's right; breechface would still be wrong. Nevermind. TIA J

Saw ranking in above post: S&W didn't even get into above Taurus and Ruger; Why? Whats' wrong with them? Have 1911 PD Commander I am quite happy with but can find no one saying good things about GM sized S&Ws'. E series anyone? Keep in mind I love my 4506's, and think the 4566 was unfortunately...

Anyone ever tried it? I like the P-12 slide on the P-13 frame and was just wonderin... cheers, TF

I was the OP for this recently locked thread. Thanks to everyone who apparently in a Halloween mood could not believe I was serious. Some of his Biographers have recorded (Kalush and Sloman specifically, p. 460)"...according to some reports, Houdini packed a Derringer wherever he went." I...

Did it disappear? Just read he carried one later in his life. Thanks, TF
