    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    Meh... It feels like it's a starting point, and that I have to finish it. I'm convinced that the slide spring is pretty soft and should be replaced with something stiffer. I've a DW VBOB 10mm and have compared the 2 springs. The DW is much stiffer and shorter. I'm going swap them and see how the...

    Kimber Anyone have any thoughts on the Kimber Eclipse?

    Personally, I'd look at Dan Wessons. Their quality beats Kimber. I've had/have a few DW's. They perform fantastic. My favorite.

    Kimber Anyone have any thoughts on the Kimber Eclipse?

    I think that Kimber has aimed at the " bling" market. They have really gone overboard (IMHO) on the finishes that they offer. The basic gun is good, just not great. Personally I'd rather spend my $$$ on fitment instead of looks. It DOES seem to work out well for them though.

    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    Yes it's true. I seem to have the worst luck when it comes to the Pistols made in turkey. My Girsan hunter was a complete POS. My Yukon was not near that bad. Still have some slight issues with it that I hope to work out. Some people say that I shouldn't complain given their price. Well, I...

    Is Guns.com Legit? Has anyone used them?

    Why you wouldn't use multiple services to check for the same firearm is beyond me. My list includes Wiki arms, GunBroker and gun zone. I check all those when looking for a certain model. It's somewhat strange to say, but in the last 10 years I have spent almost $25,000 on gunbroker. I don't...

    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    Tisas is decent. I had trouble with my YUKON, but after insisting that SDS look at it, they pretty much fixed it. They ended up replacing the entire slide/barrel. I wish that they had adjusted the sights that were terribly off. I had to buy a sight pusher and it's now pretty close. I do have...

    Officer 1911 in 9mm

    Good to hear. Back when I 1st looked at the EMP4's, Id heard some complaints about the contours reliability. Sounds like yours escaped that malady.

    Officer 1911 in 9mm

    Turns out that my son has decided to try something else (apparently a trait that he got from me). He has envoked the " dad gets 1st dibs" clause and is returning it to me. I shot it yesterday. What a sweet shooter!

    I'd check WIKIARMS and GUNBROKER.

    Springfield Armory TARGET PRACTICE THERAPY

    I too prefer the great outdoors. But up here in the Idaho Panhandle, that can be a challenge this time of year.

    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    It blows my mind how many people say this gun is bad don't buy it and others say I've had lots of these and they all ran great. People complain about Kimbers. I do think that with Kimber you're paying for the finishes and that's just not my thing. We do have several Kimbers in our family and...

    Handgun light violates the 4 rules?

    Sounds good. I'm not 100% convinced either. Just throwing it out there for food for thought.

    Handgun light violates the 4 rules?

    Are you not pointing the gun with a light because you do not know what the target is or what you're pointing at? Aren't you searching for something? Something that is unknown. The worst case scenario is pointing at somebody that you do not want to destroy. And you won't know that using a wml. If...
