    Surprised by gift of a Springfield Ronin, QC issues.

    It was the best I could do with my iPhone to take a close-up of the right side of where the slide and frame meet, that’s the best it would focus, but even blurry, you can see the issue clearly. Not good. Most people probably wouldn’t even care. It’s just when you “see” it, it might as well be...

    That will be on THEIR dime. Or, it goes to auction for sure!!! Don’t really get the hate Kimber gets. I think their 4” SS Raptor is one of the coolest looking 1911’s! Hard to find though. Only saw a used one, selling at MSRP (no thanks), in last two years. I’m seeing prices coming down a bit...

    Surprised by gift of a Springfield Ronin, QC issues.

    I pray so! They were easy to deal with, the mailing process was a bit confusing though. I’m sure there rifles are good. On that note, I found this crazy/stupid accurate inexpensive rifle, made in Finland called Tikka, like sub 1”MOA accurate! Your Turkish Tisas 1911’s ARE intriguing! I have to...

    Here we go! Pictures! The first picture is kinda fuzzy, but is the best at showing the slide pooching out from the frame on the right side of the hammer. Second picture is clearer, but not as good as the first. As I said, the slide is about 1.5mm over where the frame and slide meet, only on the...

    Surprised by gift of a Springfield Ronin, QC issues.

    Was given a brand new 5” 45acp. Springfield Ronin. Two problems. 1) The slide catches on the slide release, with no fingers near the slide release. When you’re manually sliding it back and forth, with no mag in, it catches, hesitates slightly, and it also rubs on the bottom of the left slide...

    What EXACTLY is the “feed ramp” on a 1911? I THOUGHT I knew.

    Mine‘s like the right one. WISH it was like the one on the LEFT! Makes Hornady Critical Duty tops of the bullet (the copper surrounding the red rubber insert) bent oval in shape, when going into battery. I assume because of a non-ramped barrel, like on the left. Only really likes ball ammo...

    What EXACTLY is the “feed ramp” on a 1911? I THOUGHT I knew.

    So, my knowledge of what a “feed ramp” is, is the shiny (supposed to be) bottom of the entrance of the barrel, PART of the bottom of the rear of the barrel itself, some others are talking about something that can be damaged by Chip McCormic mags. I could never see a magazine would ever damage...

    “Leaked” S&W

    Speaking of a 1911 as a home defense gun, vs.a 9mm. is the “BANG”! I’m worried about that. A 45 acp. is A LOT louder than a 9mm. IDK.

    I’m at my Fla. condo now, so you might have to travel, a bit for your chicken dinner! Everything is fried in the south, even pickles (yuck). So, fried chicken dinner waiting for you!
