Wow, the choices! I'll definitely find something here, and I like the idea of that wide thumb slot. The VZ 320 and Operator Slim choices are exactly what I was looking for. Now to try and decide on the color... easy problem! ;)

Thanks! I'm-a-goin' window shopping!

That probably would have been good info for me to include, lol. I guess I'm not sure, I love the cocobolo look, but I did find these on the SA site: https://store.springfield-armory.com/1911-g10-thinline-grips/ Different look but I like it. So I guess my answer is traditional wood or more...

I do love the look and feel of my 1911 RO Operator, but because I have wide palms and short stubby fingers, I can't quite reach the slide stop or even the mag release button without turning the firearm slightly to reach it. Slightly thinner grips would help, but I'm clueless on what brands...

This is a violation on a Federal level, but also defined in the NM Constitution. Everyone from NM should hammer every government rep to do something about this traitor. She needs to be tried as such. NM is our neighboring state from AZ, but our liberal Governor Katie Hobbs could easily subscribe...

I'm 61, right behind you, and if I was completely honest, I don't shoot a 9mm, even to try, because I would probably like the easier handling, lol. I guess what I get tired of is, I like the classic, and article after article bashes it and I'm tired of having to hear what I like constantly...

I hope one day I invent the product that is considered no good and defeated, and is still used by millions daily. I don’t even own a 9 mm and probably never will. I love the big boom and when you’re used to the recoil, none of this is an issue. I get it, 9 mm rules the roost and it’s cheaper...

No worries about greener grass, every yard has rock on it. We do pre-emergence and weed killer twice a year and then we don't have to think about it, lol. Also, we live on the border of east Phoenix and Scottsdale in a 70's neighborhood (north of Shea Blvd, the sweet spot) so there are several...

Granted, the gun laws are better here in AZ, but southern Nevada and Arizona are bloody HOT, 52 days this year over 110 degrees so far. It's so bright that sunglasses are not a fashion statement, they are a medical necessity, seriously. It gets old quick and all you hear is "we're leaving town...

Going to be 110 degrees again this weekend in Phoenix, MAN, I'd love to be in TN in a month to attend that... chilly air, fall color, almost forget what it feels like. Be nice to go just for the history and who might be walking around that we might know (Hickok45, etc). Won't happen, but it'd be...

Isn't the fluid used in dry cleaning quite similar? :unsure: Oops, we kind of got off topic... sorry there, OP.

Come to Arizona... you basically need a heartbeat and 35 bucks for the FFL you had your online purchase sent to. It's harder to buy a can of spray paint out here... I know, because I had to wait for the Home Depot fella a few times to unlock the cage. 🤪

Oh please… I grew up in New Jersey, where my parents had to get a firearms ID card and get fingerprinted in order to buy me a Red Ryder BB Gun when I was 12, many moons ago. Got out of there in 1994. Basically we were just everybody’s armpit for the Northeast. 🤣 And so a little laughter on the...

Bring 'em on down here to AZ, plenty of manufacturing space north and west. :)

Big Labor Day Sale at Wilson Combat, including many firearms. Scroll down to the Shop Now button: https://wilsoncombat.com/ Magazines are 20% off again, this time I think it's all of them.

Wilson Combat has their Labor Day sale going, 20% off of all magazines. Pretty much takes care of shipping and tax. https://wilsoncombat.com/accessories/magazines.html FWIW, I have several of this model for my RO Operator...

Eight WC mags for my .45 1911 Range Officer and all are great, but the spring is really stiff when new. Fill the mags and let them sit for two days if you aren’t able to shoot yet, which will give you a bit of a break-in of sorts. The WC’s do need a little extra whack to insert at first, but...

Can we include the infamous Parkerized in that category? :)

Absolutely, wow. This one seems a bit more intense because reading the article, it happened 15 minutes away from where I work, I didn’t even know that. I saw Honor Health Deer Valley and did a double take. Oh man, wife and 4 children… and so senseless. 🙁

Glad you posted, always a reminder to not get lax in any way. So after reading the article, I saw another short one by Massad Ayoob, and it's along the same lines, except it wasn't bad ammo that messed up his firearm... it was worse than that...
