    Does anyone know or have experience with standard manufacturing royal blue 1911 45, I'm thinking about getting one.

    I don’t have one but I have read many positive reviews about them and that they are very well made for the price.

    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    I will offer my very limited experience here. I have owned 3 1911's in this order. A Ruger SR1911(2012 appr), Springfield Armory Range Officer(2013 appr), and a Dan Wesson Valor(2016). All 3 made trips back to the factory for issues, mostly minor but needed attention. All 3 were reliable. Based...

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    I thought that shimming might be a possibility so great that it was a fix for you. Good job. Since the OP’s pistol was shooting low the shim may help that. If not an adjustable style sight would be in order.

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    Agreed but if gun maker is non responsive and OP is stuck with the pistol it is not the end of the world.

    Alpha Foxtrot 1911 Issues

    It has been almost a year since you posted the issue with the AF. What is the outcome? From what I saw if you are stuck with the pistol none of the issues are major. Annoying yes, but fixable without great expense. 1) The trigger could be fixed in 5 minutes with a sear spring adjustment...

    Winchester announces price increase on ammo & components.

    When I went in to GT Distributors in October they were selling 9mm 124gr Lawman for $13.99 and Blazer Brass 124gr for $12.99. Not too bad at the time. Everywhere you looked online was $30 plus and now way worse than that. You can't tell me that distributors and retailers aren't the price...

    Winchester announces price increase on ammo & components.

    It's real simple for me. I just stopped shooting. Many other things to do. Haven't bought ammo in well over a year and won't anytime soon at these prices. It's insane. Kinda like paying $10K for a Covid vaccine when you can get it for free. If things were as they were I would be buying more...

    E-BAY???

    So @Mike A1 ....... Did you get your money back from eBay? Should not be an issue if they are fake. Just file a case with eBay.

    Need to decide. PLEASE help me make the RIGHT decision!

    I would not be concerned with a plastic trigger if that is what it is. As previously stated by someone else STI’s have plastic triggers on many of theirs models and they are very good. Springfield would not put junk parts on their gun. They will stand behind them if there is a problem. That’s...
