Hi everyone,
First post here, been lurking for awhile. Thanks in advance for any help!
The very first pistol I bought was a Ruger P345 back when it first came out. I was a lot of fun, but I ended up getting rid of it for a Ruger SuperRedhawk (long story).
It came from the factory with a "defect" that I really liked (or so the gunsmith thought it was a defect). The defect: If the slide was locked back and I inserted the magazine hard enough, it would automatically release the slide and load a round. If I inserted the magazine gently, it wouldn't. It was at a really nice level where I had to be deliberate to get it to go, but I could every time I wanted to. I haven't come across a pistol since that does that.
I'm planning on getting my first 1911 (only semi auto gun that hasn't gone through the roof in price, probably because of the 8 round mag). My question is: are there any 1911s out there that do this by design? If not, what can I do to make it happen? Gunsmithing, change of parts, etc?
Thanks again for any help!
