Good point. BUT-- I think I'd better just shoot the JHP I have like Annihilator said, and see how it goes, as opposed to someone's take on YouTube. Thankful I even have any, lately it's been a chore to find any, and when you do it's $.75 to $1.00 per round. Oy.

What took you so long? It was a full five minutes since I posted the question. :ROFLMAO: Seriously, thanks for the reply. That makes sense. To be honest I'd be fine with hardball only while getting used to my new friend. Before the gun arrived I was able to snag 100 rounds of white box...

Hey all, recently got my first gun, SA 1911 Range Officer. Not even gotten to a range yet and I'm clueless about ammo. I saw a YouTube vid where a fella talked specifically about ammo for a SA 1911 RO and stated that you really only want to shoot hardball through it... the JHP ammo that's...

Whoomp, there it is... (took this at the FFL Dealer while paperwork was processing). Range Officer. I'm over the moon. Anyone familiar with GOOD videos on YouTube where I can learn all the little intricacies of a 1911? And a source for 230 gr FMJ would be great too! Only have a couple hundred...

Oh, my apologies, it does sound like I found the firearm locally... it's an online purchase, I'm in the used-to-be -wild west, Arizona. I'm having it shipped to my local friendly FFL dealer. I do visit KY once a year or so though, lol... I do photo work for the Ark Encounter there in...

FWIW, scored my long-awaited SA 1911 yesterday thanks to gun.deals... found it in stock at a dealer in Bardstown, KY. Worth the three-month wait, really wanted that exact model and now wanted it before Inauguration Day. Hopefully will see it at my dealer in two weeks. Anyhoo, thanks for all the...

Hate to do this to you guys, but going back to the original topic, what's the advantage of a ported barrel? I know, no fun, a serious question... my apologies.

Wo HO, nice bass rig! You're not kidding when you say stellar tone. My bass player back in the 80s had a Rick and was a huge Geddy Lee fan of course, thing sounded great WITHOUT an amp, then you plug it in and the rest is history. FWIW, I've tried a ton of brands on my Taylor but Elixir...

SERIOUSLY good info. (y)

Wow, amazing to find ANY right now, appreciate you hunting and finding that. It’s tempting...

Excellent point. These are the things us greenies wouldn't think of... "don't all bullets just shoot like bullets??" :sneaky: I'm wondering if that's the #1 thing us noobs need to know, so thanks for the advice! Just like acoustic guitar strings, I tell my students to TRY different kinds, not...

OK, I can see that this place is already awesome, so many other forums for music and photography hold world records for snobbery! Thanks all!

Thanks! What took you so long? You took an entire 90 seconds to reply after my post! 😀

Hey All, Have an SA 1911 Range Officer on order (and several months to wait) and I have my eye on this ammo for the range when the gun actually gets here. CCI says not to use this in a ported barrel. I read up on what a ported barrel is, but I have no idea in the 1911 I ordered has one, the...
