    MAGAZINES 1911A1.... WHAT IS BEST ???

    Chip McCormick, Wilson and MecGar are all I have bought. I had some Checkmate that came with a Ruger, sold the gun and should have kept the mags. Vickers mags from wilson have worked well in every 1911 I have had.

    EMP Contour 9mm needs gunsmith

    Mine developed a problem after about three thousand rounds. Sent it back to SA and in a week they fixed quite a few things that they don't do to begin with. Runs great and has been 100% reliable since.

    Rock Island 1911's

    I really like them. These are models that you cannot disassemble. 9 rounds. I have a 10 rounder you can disassemble from Mecgar. Doesn't run reliably in my ATI. Does fine in the Springfield.

    Rock Island 1911's

    Yes, inexpensive. Sorry to offend you. They were what came with the gun. I have tried Wilson and McCormick and neither of those are 100 percent reliable like the Mecgar. I have a Springfield that shoots all the mags reliably.

    Rock Island 1911's

    I love 1911s. All these different brands. Some work great, some don't. It seems they all are each, individual. You get to hand fit parts. Find the right mags and ammo and you are good to go. I have a ATI I bought because I wanted to learn to work on it and not wreck an expensive gun. I have...

    Light pin strike

    1911s are sometimes picky about brands of ammo too. I have .45 and 9mm. Do not have any experience with 10mm. Hard to do right now but finding a couple of brands that run all the time and use those. I miss the good old days of trying all kinds of brands. Now I am thankful when I can buy any at...

    1979 Colt Government Mk IV

    Buy it. It looks fantastic. That's a fair price. Just grab it. Looks like it has soul. It will cost more later when you wished you would have bought it.

    GECO 357 Magnum ammo ???

    I was buying from sportsmansguide. It was 56.00 for 300 rounds. Free shipping. So it was a great deal. I do not know what they sell for now. I was a member too so I saved a couple of dollars too. I like S&B too. I read somewhere that 9mm is Europes round. They do a great job. Let us know how...

    GECO 357 Magnum ammo ???

    I have a finicky ATI 9mm 1911 that I have put a zillion dollars into and Geco feeds 100 percent reliably. Its pretty clean and falls into my 10 bucks a box for training ammo. I always keep some just for that gun. After a new WC extractor I can shoot some other brands but if I need to be sure I...

    1911 is my choice. I have always been a fan since I was a kid. I have a few and shoot a couple times a week. Thanks for having me.
