    Remove idiot scratch from satin stainless 1911.

    I have an SA loaded and scratched mine. The SS finish is both polish and blasted. I used polishing compound on the shiny surface and a green scuff pad on the blasted (finger relief) and the scratch is gone.

    Springfield 1911, "Loaded Operator:" best all around 1911?

    I love my loaded. No issues whatsoever. I did change my MSH out to a S&A curved one in stainless. The only three things I would change; sights to nite sites, front strap checkering :mad:, single safety but I can live with the ambi. Everyone bitches about the FLGR, but I've had no issues with it.

    Las Vegas shooting

    I think we need to keep this in perspective. It's not that he acted, it's the methods in which he did act. All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

    Where are my Illinois natives at?

    In NW Suburbs of Chicago. Typically shoot at GAT guns. I don't get out as often as I would like.

    Illinois Concealed Carry 2011

    My legislator is anti-gun. She is clueless and in the back pocket of Madigan. Mom on a mission ... to take away our rights ... it's for the children.:scrutiny: I did not vote for her, and I do vote.

    SA 1911 Mil Spec

    My brother has a GI, which is similar but even less frilly than the MilSpec. I would say get the MilSpec because my brother ended up changing out the sights (very difficult to use) and lowering the ejection port. He shoots IDPA so he also modded the gun a little bit by changing the MSH...

    ruger mk III hard to disassemble?

    I have a 22/45 Mark III and to me the field strip is way overblown. Took me 5 minutes the first time but I did watch a video of others doing it first. I'll let you know about the detail strip as soon as I get a Mark II bushing to fix the magazine disconnect.

    Never heard of this. Where did this information come from?

    1911 Springfield loaded

    You don't know the half of it. I stocked up when 100 rds of 45 was $19.97 and 100 rds of 9mm was $9.97. I bought out all three local WallyWorlds.

    1911 Springfield loaded

    My loaded has been 100% reliable. Fit and finish are great. I only dislike the ambi safety. I replaced the ILS MSH with a serrated curved MSH. YMMV.

    Chicago commuter train detained, passengers searched by police with auto weapons...

    Not everyone from IL is so brainwashed, but be careful as to not spook the sheep by speaking and/or acting out. I also work for RR Donnelley and couldn't agree more about the boring part (I could go on). We hang no gun signs on the entrance doors and the sheeple feel safer.

    PT1911 spare the flames please

    My SA Loaded in stainless was under 7 bills, has a lot of nice features, and is 100% reliable. Great that you love your Taurus, but be careful how you state it.

    Beretta 21a Bobcat fan club

    I've always wanted one of these but have been afraid of purchasing a $250 paperweight. I may pick one up based on this thread. Time to go shopping and see what they're going for these days.

    Ruger 22/45 Sight options.

    Finally picked up a Ruger 22/45 5.5" BB (Mark III) in stainless. Went to the range and shot about 250 rounds of various CCI products and was happy with results. I had one jam because the magazine wasn't fully seated which will hopefully loosen up after some more shooting as it's really tight...

    Walmart and Guns

    Not mine. The sales guy was nice enough to retrieve a box in order to make carrying all the 45 ACP/9MM/ and 22 CCI boxes easier. This was just last week. Could have bought more had I brung more money! :)

    Do You Have a "Magic" Shooter?

    Funny story, but I was at the range and some kid wanted to try my 1911 and in return he lent me his CZ. He showed me his (rather large) grouping from his last target. I spun out a target and shot his CZ. The target came back with a quarter sized hole. I just replied "Nothing wrong with this...

    Helped a guy re-assemble his Ruger MkIII 22/45 today...

    I'm picking up a 22/45 III on Wednesday. It may be a while before I break it down. I've bookmarked a couple of websites that go over the details.
