I became very tired of pacing the floor so decided this morning around 11AM that I'd clean the Taurus PT1911 9mm and the Kahr CW .45 pistol. Gathered all supplies including pistols on work bench in wash room. Poured mineral spirits (low odor) into Leigh's best baking dish so I could soak all...
[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Yeah, but the goofy stamped trigger guard seems like an afterthought and that combined with the rotary knob for the barrel nut (which for me loosens frequently) are not attractive to my eye. [/COLOR
Guess that's the reason I think they're purty since I can relate to being...
I agree on the not being ugly but as always, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I personally think the old HS were some of the sharpest looking pistols made but I also think the 1950-1959 automobiles are the sharpest looking cars ever built. However I'm looking through eyes that are almost...
John Stinson Jr. is the noted "expert" on older High Standard pistols. The note below was copied directly from one of his quotes. He addresses the 102 and later models so you may be safe with yours. Also you might want to to to RimfireCentral.com and search your question for more info than...
When you say that it wouldn't have it, I'm not quite sure what the problems were....
I have a mid-60's High Standard Sharpshooter with Bull Barrel that I absolutely love to shoot. It's the most accurate pistol in my safe. I only run subsonic through it.....Wolf Match Target or...
Hey Lubricant
I couldn't have said it better and particularly since I retired from Deere & company after 30 years. Have a Springfield Loaded .45 and yes, a lowly but fantastic Taurus PT1911 9mm. I may trade my other pistols but I'll own these two until I wake up on the wrong side of the dirt...
I'm a tad late....
in my response but that is absolutely beautiful work. I have a CW45 and a CW9 that I carry in Mitch Rosen slide holsters. Both are excellent shooters but sure not to be used as range guns if you have arthritic hands! I suspicion though in a defensive situation, hand pain...
Well, CZGuy, I have a reeeeeal problem. I already have a CZ-75B black version and was perfectly happy until that Fritz feller had to show off his stainless with all those fancy stage crutches he used around it. And GZOh didn't help matters any. Now I see I have three choices.....1. Keep...
Schmeky, go ahead and "bite the bullet". Have it shipped up here to me and I'll check it out, also break it in for you so all you'll have to do is enjoy............................................when you get it......:evil:

An Idiot Mark is when you are reassembling the prettiest, smartest looking 1911 that you have ever seen and are in the process of reinstalling the slide stop pin. If you're not careful, you will pivot the pin back and forth while it's resting on the frame and will immediately...
Bikerdoc, you're getting behind. I went back to the range today and had a perfect performance out of my 9mm. 101 rounds without a single problem. The first 200 rounds the other day gave me some FTF's and FTE's along with slide not locking back on last round. However today it ran like a Singer...
Hey Ben86
Just want you to know that it's a weight problem ..... I went on a diet last month and so far it's working.....only gained 5 pounds in the last 30 days! Can't wait for spring to appear on the horizon...will never again complain about having to mow the yard.
Carry a Ruger LCP in a Nemesis holster.....only complaint is that the mag release releases the mag with fairly tight fitting jeans........not good in a defensive situation (and Ruger says they don't have a fix).....
Thanks fellas for all the compliments. The only thing that I did was to change out the black cheapo plastic grips that came with the gun. They were some that I had in the safe for so long I don't even remember where they came from! I don't plan to change anything else.....leaving it stock...
