    Suppressors New holster for my 1911

    Got a new CCW holster for my 1911 from Little Bear holsters in Jacksonville FL. The retention is great, it is really comfortable and it looks bad ass to boot

    Suppressors My new 1911

    Picked up a taurus PT1911 today. 650 dollars. blued finish with the nice wood grips. Havent shot it yet, but am overall impressed with the fit and finish of the weapon. I consider almost all mags that arent wilson combat to be junk so I really didnt even look at them. Love the nice wide safety...

    Suppressors Taurus 1911 ??

    Shot my brand new Taurus SS1911 for the first time yesterday using Sellier & Bellot Pistol ammo 230 FMJ. Out of over 100 shot rounds, I got a non-fire off of every 8-round magazine. One mag had 5 out of 8 non-fires. I ejected each round and single loaded them and they fired. Does this sound...

    Suppressors Problem with Taurus PT 1911 AR .45cal

    Several weeks ago, I was cleaning my new Taurus PT 1911 AR and getting ready to put it in my bed side nightstand. I keep it there, loaded, next to a flashlight. I placed a full magazine of 8 rounds in the pistol, cycled the slide and fed a round into the chamber. I then lowered the hammer to...

    I'm looking to spend about $800, now with that out of the way I have only 3 stipulations, I have come up with a Para (really like this gun) but have seen others that I have not been able to handle for one reason or another.

    Suppressors 1911 Build

    Here are a couple photos of a 1911 that I built for Ken Hackathorn. He was pleased with the results. I was honored to build a pistol for him. His 1911 collection is quite extensive. His knowledge of the 1911 is even more extensive than his collection. And the man himself with his new...

    Suppressors Springfield TRP 1911 vs Springfield FBI Version

    Anybody shot both? Any huge $1000 difference in feel and handling? I have the TRP and absolutely love it. The trigger is great and I can put groups together with relative ease. Just wondering how much better it could actually get. I know there are some different internals.

    Suppressors Source for 1911 build parts?

    Been looking around for other 1911 frames and slides from manufaturers besides Caspian and STI. At one time I had decided to start a build on one of Caspians titanium frames, but the cost and tooling issues have put a hold on that. Now I think I'm going to use an aluminum frame and build a...

    Suppressors Citadel 1911

    I am under the impression that the Citadel is made by Rock Island Armory is that correct? One of the local shops here is carrying the Citadel for what seems like a pretty good price, but can't find out any info on it. Hope someone here can tell me about them good or bad. Thanks.
