      New SW1911 E Series Magazine Question

      NIB Smith and Wesson 1911 E Series in 45 acp. I disassembled to verify proper lubrication. Then I realized that I had not verified that the slide would lock back with both magazines. Tested them and one would not. I marked it and then kept trying both magazines and then the magazine that...

      Kimber Rapide 45acp

      Looking for anybody with experience with Kimber Rapide 45 acp. I have done a lot of research on Kimber so general observations not helpful. Not a lot available on the Rapide 45 model specifically. Hoping there is not a 500 round break-in but have seen a couple reviews that they had to send...

      Ruger SR1911

      Dealer has one and it looks great. Only hesitancy is that the trigger has considerable side to side and back to back play. Did not seem to be much overtravel but I am not knowledgeable enough about 1911 triggers to know if adjusting overtravel firms up front to back and side to side play...

      Hammer can deactivate 1911 grip safety

      Saw a video on a SA TRP. When manual safety is deactivated, pulling the hammer all the way to the rear the hammer physically contacts and deactivates the grip safety and the pistol will fire if the trigger is pulled. Tried it on my SA TRP and Sig Sauer 1911 Equinox and noted same. Surprised...

      Mossberg 940 JM Pro

      Purchased this shotgun because I thought I wanted to do 3 gun. Not really interested in 3 gun anymore, may do 1 match at my home club, but do like the thought of having a 12 gauge shotgun in the arsenal. Have plenty of ammunition so now is a good time if I want to sell. It runs birdshot...

      +p has less recoil?

      Shot from the same gun, Springfield Armory XD-E 3.8" barrel, Supervel regular 9mm and +p SCHP, both bullets 115 grain. Expected more recoil from the +P but it felt less. Makes no sense to me. Any thoughts. Takes a 5" barrel to develop higher velocities? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

      Consignment Sales at local gun stores

      What local gun stores do consignment sales? What is a reasonable fee? Considering trying Gun Broker as have seen good comments currently and sold there decades ago with good results. If I remember correctly Bare Arms in Noblesville charges 18% for cash sales and 21% for credit card sales but...

      Springfield Hellcat Trigger Issue

      Not interested in Hellcat but happened across a video describing a trigger issue. Seems if any side pressure is placed sgainst the trigger prior to depressing the center safety blade, the gun will not fire no matter how much pressure is applied to the center safety. Watched several videos...

      Olight PL-MINI2

      Switches stopped working so contacted Olight for RMA and shipped it to them. Anyone else had any quality issues with Olight. Glad that I checked it. Be a real pain if I needed it and it didn't work. Fortunately there was a flashlight nearby but that is not always the case. All other lights for...

      1911 holster question

      Do I want a holster that covers the entire slide or just partially? Do I want an open or closed end holster? MidwayUSA listed the DeSantis Mini Belt Slide(yes I should have been paying more attention to description) as fitting the Springfield Armory TRP. The holster was on sale so outstanding...

      Been a long time since I owned a 1911 and cannot remember even putchasing a holster. Everything TRP is for the operator model.

      1911 style caliber exchange

      Just purchased a Springfield Armory TRP and educated myself on full length versus traditional guide rod configurations and also options for replacing the full length guide rod. What is the best traditional guide rod replacement option? One youtuber liked the beauty of the 10-8 recoil spring...

      Steel targets that move independently

      I saw a youtuber video(wish I could remember which one) that had a steel target that had 5 independent plates. An independent center plate and at least 4 independent plates that surrounded it. The disadvantage that I see with steel is you don't know where you are hitting or missing and this...

      Dan Wesson Valkyrie

      Fair price for a mint used model in 45 acp with 4.25" barrel. Seems dealers blew them out in 2019 when the model was discontinued. What little information I can find on current used prices is greatly conflicting. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
