      Refinishing 1911

      I got an old 1911 with a weird green colored frame and non matching slide. I want to refinish it in one color. Nothing weird. Maybe bright nickel or black. Can anyone recommend the good place to do it. And not really expensive too.

      Any 1911 Lefties out there with holsters?

      Hey there fellow Lefties! So here's my problem, I have my 1911 government and I've been looking for a holster for it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any style holster for it anywhere I go. Preferably I'm looking for an outside the waistband style over the concealed inside the...

      9mm 1911 Single Stack- Kimber, Springfield and SW

      Hello, I was wondering if any Industry Partners had a full size 1911 in the blasphemous 9 mm in stock? I would love to squeeze in one last purchase prior to deadline. Thanks for the help.

      1911 mags 8 round vs 7 round

      Hi all, I searched the forum and couldn't find a thread on this. Maybe there is one and I missed it, sorry for doing a duplicate if this is the case. I currently have Springfield Armory and Kimber 7 rounders and have had no problems. I also have a generic stainless 8 round mag that I got...

      AR-15 Polymer 80%, AR-10, and 1911!?

      I know how some of us feel about the Polymer stocks. But After October 1st, who has a choice. Although we can purchase now, the waiting list is 100+ days. Who wants to wait. I say build your own. Why not. The AR-10's Polymer Stock and 1911 Handgun Polymer stock is coming soon and I will take...

      Custom 1911

      After more than a year of waiting, my custom pistol is finally ready. It was built by one of my Soldier's fathers who does it as a hobby. The one he built for his son, won the Brownell's 1911 contest a year ago and that one shot like a dream. This one is built on a Caspian frame with a...

      Kimber shopping, how much to offer?

      Yea, wife is trying to steal my SR1911, so maybe I need another 1911. I'm looking at these two pistols. Kimber classic and or Kimber Eclipse 2 I'm liking the second better. I just snapped these with my cell on the coolest background.

      Wilson Combat 47D mags for SA Operator

      Hi all! I just purchased a Springfield MC Operator Loaded and I've seen lots of negative reviews for the GI mags that come with it. My question is: to use the Wilson mags, is there a need modify the stock magwell? This is my first semi-auto pistol other than a Raven MP-25 (if that can even be...

      1911 and 1911A1 collecting

      So I was at Chantilly and worked my way over to the far right tables, there's always a shop set up with a ridiculous number of 1911s. They never have prices, and I'm no dummy; if you have to ask, you can't afford. I searched the forum but couldn't find much specifics on the value of WWI and...

      Looking to get a pistol

      I'm trying to do some research on pistols. I want something that's very accurate at a long range. I was comfortable with my cousin's 40 S&W, but I really want a 1911. I don't know what caliber to get, and I know I don't want a 22. I know there are plenty of people with experience with pistols...

      Thinking of Upgrading

      I am possibly selling my Glock 23 to make the big jump up to a Springfield Ultra Compact .45. Does anyone have any experience with this weapon? I would be using it as an off-duty CC. My main concerns are the reported problems with compact 1911's FTF and FTE. Comments?
