The gun is an RIA GI double stack 45. I have replaced the trigger and buffed the bow. This is probably not a mag problem as the symptom occurs even without a mag (dry). I have carefully honed the contact points on the grip safety and can see that it is missing the bow. Thinking it might be the...

I've become pretty comfortable smithing my Rock Island GI 1911. So I replaced a few things. New skeletonized hammer, new beavertail. Nice upgrade! Going into this with eyes wide open, I figured there'd be some tuning to follow. Sure enough the gun runs fine but for an annoying sticky (gritty)...

Well, here is the outcome. Kimber turned around the repair quickly and professionally. This is what they wrote: Your pistol has been inspected and evaluated for the claims reported. We performed the following repairs: sear, hammer and recoil spring replaced. Refinished Barrel, chamber reamed...

Regretfully, PhilaPop, I already sent it back. I'll keep you posted on the outcome...

Thanks for the question about groups, Bender. At this point I do not have a setup to test groups. What would something like that look like. I'd like toake one.

Ok, ZoidMeister, I'm the new guy so I deserve that. No, not Frangible. And no trigger job, Bender. Fresh from the factory in all counts.

So excited to get this gun after 10 long days (California) waiting for it. I took it to the range, loaded up some target ammo, safety off, point, press, bang. To my surprise there were 2 holes in the target even though it sounded like one shot. Hmmm... Pulled the trigger again. One new hole...
