Safety checks Thanks Ichiban, that was great info. I'll do that.

I found that out, and have had the constant ringing in my right ear ever since. I do have to admit that when a .45acp Hydra-Shok expands, it does some awesome damage, especially to disc brakes, LOL.

I had an old 1911 accidentally discharge on me 11 years ago. I had racked the chamber, loading a cartridge into the chamber and was lowering the hammer, as slowly as I could, or so I thought. It blew a nice hole in the floor of my truck and the shock wave blew out my right eardrum and...

Deanimator is right. Here in Florida, Governor Bush passed the "Castle Doctrine" in October 2005, allowing people to use deadly force if someone were breaking into their home, regardless of whether the person was armed or not. Used to be we had the obligation to flee, according to the law, and...

Thank you Thank you both for your replies and your information. The recoil spring I'll go ahead and replace. The rest will have to be done by a gunsmith at a later time.

I bought this GI replica in 2005. It's a great shooting pistol. I wanted to know, how often should you replace the recoil spring and what # is the factory spring? I saw the posting about carrying the 1911 in Condition 2 and had another question. Has anyone carried one in battery, with the...
