I would not want anyone so dumb who would do that by accident to be my representative. Also; I would not want someone who would do that intentionally than lie about it to be my representative.

I like 124 grain as a good all round 9mm weight; I don't have much need for the 147's and don't buy 115's as I see no reason to practice with one weight and carry another. For hardball I have Blaser brass and I have some Norma on the way ( The Norma sounds interesting and was priced right) for...

Slide to frame fit is great on mine.

OK; Disassembled today ( first time in 35 years I took a 1911 apart, I still remembered how), looked everything over, wiped it down, changed the recoil spring to a 12# Wolff and changed the firing pin spring to the XP wolff that came with the recoil spring after cleaning F.P. hole out and...

That's my plan. are you using stock SA or aftermarket parts for spares? If aftermarket, steel or Titanium firing pin and whose? I see the Ed Brown FP for a Springfield is less that half the SA Stock price but is tool steel not titanium. If I get a F.P. stop; drop in or one that need...

I don't have the issue with MIM parts that some have; perhaps that's my manufacturing and engineering background. I also don't have an issue with investment castings; look at what Ruger has done with them. The old timer in me prefers machined forgings and nice wood but I can appreciate a...

Ed Brown suggested considering replacing any plastic or MIM parts. I think I will replace only if a problem comes up. I think most MIM parts are actually pretty good any more. Otherwise Colt, S&W and others wouldn't be using them with good effect. I know there was a hue and cry when S&W...

Thanks; Another question added; Are there any MIM parts in the Ronin? The firing pin stop maybe?

Those of you with more experience with the SA 1911's. Are you having good results with the Titanium firing pins and stock springs? Mine a new to me Ronin 5" 9mm ( early one marked Ronin Operator); I believe it has a 9# recoil, 23# hammer and xxpower FP springs If not stock how are your's set...

There was an early episode of NCIS where one of the agents wonders what Ducky looked like when he was young. Gibbs answers Illya Kuriyakin

A Ruger Speed Six; .38 spl.

Old Me said: maybe one is blued, the other is stainless steel..?? No, that's not it. Both Blued and Stainless are listed at $43.99 while the slam base is $37.99 in blue or stainless. I am wondering if it's maybe different suppliers for one over the other. I like a plain base in the pistol...

Now wearing the John Culina Myrtle wood grips.

Also; spare magazines; stay with Springfield, go with Wilson, or doesn't matter?

Springfield Armory RONIN 9mm 5" 1911; grips are from John Culina and are Myrtle wood.

So I have a question: 1911 9mm full size : Springfield has both plain base magazines and slam base magazines. Why do the plain base ones list for $6.99 more than the slam base ones? 37.00 vs 43.99
