    What 1911 brands to avoid?

    I don't know of any that I'd avoid... the 1911 format is pretty much set in stone, so much so that a caveman could build a functioning pistol. IMO it boils down to personal preference and how big (or small) is your budget. Personally, unless a guy is a professional shooter, a concealed-weapon...

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

    I'm probably the last person to ask about a "best" magazine. I have a collection of GI and whatever came with various guns I've had over the years. I'm not big on all the "rituals," like changing followers and springs, like I probably should, either. But with a bunch of ruptured discs, pinched...

    Belly Band Holsters

    I hate them. If you don't have the right body shape, it'll shift and get irritating. If you aren't careful about where it's placed, the edges might cut into you just enough to (again) irritate. If it's tight enough to hold a gun from "jiggling around", it'll squeeze you and be uncomfortable...

    Introducing myself...

    Gerry here, living in the suburbs of Phoenix AZ. I retired from policing 4 years ago in Colorado and we decided we needed a little heat in our lives. I have 4 1911-style firearms, all ATIs. (Got a great price on the first 3 and the 3" stainless literally leaped out of the LGS's showcase.) I have...
