My brother was an armorer at Fort Sheridan. Civilian armorer. He always told me to stay away from these two types of firearms makers. Taurus and Kimber.
Im not convinced this was real. $800 for an online course to clean the gun. A bottle of Bacardi. Makes sure he says clip instead of magazine. Real or fake. Im glad no one was injured. My only thought is. COULD SOMEONE BE THAT STUPID?
Smart! Did not cost anything to walk away. I have seen things throughout the years. Road rage, arguments, etc. I usually assume the person that is retreating or walking away is usually packing! As long as they don't touch. They get to flip off someone else! Let em think they won.
You have had it this long for a reason. My thoughts and two cents won't start a rumor. I would spend the money and have it properly repaired and enjoy it. Pass it on to the next generation. Best of luck on your decision.
Unfortunately these problems are all to often. I had to return my RO Champion for FTF. They said they had to throat and ramp it again and polish things up. How about all those details before you ship them out? No fun shipping firearms back and forth. Three days to get! Wasted crummy range day...
I really like my RO Champion in .45. First 1911 I ever owned that didn't have a barrel bushing. Im not crazy about having to use a tool to keep the spring compressed. I really like the fact that I can use Tula ammunition in it without fail. Inexpensive and lots of fun. Enjoy your first 1911.
I like the way you put that, and its so true! Not a plug and play pistol. I was really surprised when i purchased my Springfield RO Champion. No barrel bushing. I did a double take look.
Mine was about 3 weeks ago. Springfield RO Champion .45. It was a couldnt miss much day. The 25yd and 50yd targets were taking a beating. No flaws with pistol and the Tula and Blazer Aluminum rounds were just working.
PMR30 was also working well. I love a range day when it just goes right!
