    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.

    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...

    Problem with trading in a Kimber with a 5” barrel ?

    Guy on YouTube said he went to his local dealer with a very nice looking 5” barrel Kimber in all black. He didn't mention the model, or, I forgot. Anyway, the dealer said no, that he’d had SO many problems with Kimber’s in the past, and would never take another one in trade, or sell a Kimber...

    Can someone translate my friend trying to help me, told me?

    He said to me, after looking at my new 4” barrel 1911, the following 2 items I do not understand: 1) The breechface “J cut” was not well cut, as evidenced by the brass smears on that side having a very distinct vertical separation line that you can see immediately above the ejector. 2) The...

    Hello from Ga., and N. Fla.

    Bought a new Kimber 1911 45 cal. My first 1911. Now thinking of either another Kimber or a Springfield. Don’t know much about Springfield except they may be made in Brazil?? Or, is that just the slide? Thanks!
