My first 1911, and my first idiot scratch. I guess it’s not that bad; can’t really see it unless the light hits it. Glad that I have this to learn on before I spend the coin on something fancy pants. The gun is great; especially for $300.

Can't really say anything if you haven't shot one because each review is different

I already own a 9mm 1911 and I really like it. Shoots well, eats all types of ammos with mecgar magazines and the trigger is just uncomparable to any striker fired handgun I have tried. Now, I'm eyeing my next purchase and have been contemplating in getting another 1911 in 45 or a Glock (or any striker fired for that matter). Is a 45 1911 worth getting? How big is the difference between a 9mm and 45? Help me decide.

Dawson Gun Werx in Dawsonville GA absolutely killed it on this custom 1911 L10 build using a Dan Wesson Bruin as the base for the build

I like my Ruger MkIIs but I want a 1911 .22 conversion, probably a Nelson, and don’t want to mess with swapping back and forth. So, looking for a suggestion for an inexpensive 1911 to buy for that purpose. 5” and full sized frame, of course.

Ideally one with a short roll trigger up to 4#, but in the end that will probably need to be worked on to try to get a near match to my .45

Fairly new to 1911's and I opted for a big Gov't Operator for my first one. I love it, completely enamored with the platform and the cartridge, it has a personality to it that I don't find in my more pragmatic carry guns (which are several). I would like a simpler stainless steel/aluminum alloy commander sized gun, in .45, as possible EDC. The stainless Springfield Garrison or Tisas SS45 both seem to fit the bill, would either be solid choices or should I hold off and look at other options? Optics/rails aren't a consideration for this gun as it mainly will be going on a short walk/drive to and from work with me.

I’m thinking gi model (wood grips and blued or stainless) without a picatinny rail, I know there’s Springfield gi hi caps floating around but they’re not an easy find, any help is greatly appreciated

I'm looking to add a magwell to my TISAS raider and want a FDE one. The color doesn't have to match perfectly, I just don't want a black or SS one. My google-fu is apparently not up to snuff and I can't find any.

Hey all, I'm replacing the extractor on my p14 because I've been having feeding issues. This is the first time I've taken a 1911 down for more than just cleaning and now I have this pin and I can't for the life of me remember what it is or where it goes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have doubts, and I cant tell if i like it or not... No hand biting anymore but may be i should have taken the regular blued beavertail and not the stainless version. What do you think ? I dont mind the gap between the beavertail and frame, i just question the two tone aspect.

I dig it.

No, I did actually try to get a regular set of Pachmayr to stretch around this particular piece.

Of course, it's no joy.

Well....yeah maybe, if I cut out a bit to accomodate the mag well on the RIA.

Yeah, yeah, I've tried some Hogues and some Talon tape and some stick-ons that you apply with a heat gun from a small company out in Oregon.....I'll probably stick those on the GSG 1911-22, since that's all that particular pistol is good for.

Anybody figured out a really cranking set of ZOMG like I'm so sure set of grips for one of these beefy RIA in double stack, with the magwell?

For me, I don't like rubber, and can't use finger grips....no sandpaper neither....just strict, hard checkering on the sides and front strap.

Ideas?

So, Saturday I traded a gun for a Kimber Rapide in 45acp. Finally git to the range today and it shot great, however the stock VZ grips are so aggressive that they hurt my right thumb.
I got home and went to clean the gun and try another set of grips. When I went to tighten the grips, the screw just spun but never got tight. I removed the grips and the bushing came out with the grip. I went to reinstall the grip bushing, but it’s stripped.🙄. How much is this gonna cost to fix?

Took the Vickers down for a clean. Figured somebody might want to see the inside. Notice the scribed serial on barrel and slide also m for I assume “match” barrel bushing. Only non stock parts are 10-8 slide stop,nighthawk trigger and Wilson spring plug. Oh and I slapped some stainless grip screws in as the black were pretty worn out. Springfield outdid themselves on this gun. This one is obviously a shooter.
