a 1911 Snob? Laughing and tongue in cheek. While .45 is the go to 1911 caliber I don't knock a 9mm like I used to. With current 9mm ammo and pistols set up to use it 9mm is a viable caliber. I wanted to get back to a 1911 platform after about 37 years away and looked at .45 but when a Ronin...

Not to good about keeping their bugger hooks off the bang switch are they. Saw lots of fingers in trigger guards and having the pistols pointed at other people

Finally made to the range to try it out ( with the 12# recoil spring) Fed and ejected flawlessly, Blaser Brass 124 FMJ s, Norma 124 FMJ and Speer Gold Dot 124 . Elevation was pretty good and hitting center to left a little. At 71 I have developed some a tiny bit of benign tremor in my hand...

This is why I prefer a PPO plan over an HMO.

Pretty much just changed the grips on mine From this To This And from Ruger's usual badly fit stock grips To This

Since getting back to 1911's and getting my Ronin I have been looking at older conversations and seeing a lot of back and forth about MIM parts. Kimber's bad because of all the MIM, ditto for RI, Springfield, Colt, Ruger. MIM, when done correctly, makes a good part. It has been used in...

Why would you think a Ronin is limited to a range toy and not Home Defense? Magazine capacity? Are you expecting to get into a firefight, a siege or an army? If you hit where you aim you shouldn't need a high capacity for HD. but you can't miss enough with extra ammo to make up for not...

Not a fan; they just scream concealed gun to me. There was a time when if you saw someone with a fanny pack you just assumed they were carrying.

I like the A-7's; From 1978 to the early 1990's the local Ohio Air National Guard base had Corsairs and I saw a lot of them flying .

The devil is in the details; Watch the annual deductible amounts, out of pocket max and Rx Deductibles. A lot of the zero cost to you plans are high in the deductibles and out of pocket amounts.

Yes; when I carry an autoloader. An extra magazine, specially the single stackers, carry flat and unobtrusive; either in a coat pocket or belt pouch.

From what I can find; RUAG - the former owner of the Norma name also owned GECO and other ammo companies. Their NORMA ammo was made in Hungary, (GECO facility) Germany and Switzerland with most here in the states being made by GECO and this was the commonly found 1181 FPS 9mm 124 gr FMJ load...

The author needs to do more homework. The Model 12 shotgun was not a Browning design. Winchester's Thomas Johnson I believe was responsible although he incorporated some of the Model 97 (a Browning design) components. Browning broke away from Winchester over his Auto shotgun; he wanted...

I just bought some Norma 9mm 124 Grain hardball (Range and Training ammo). I expected to find it was made in Hungary (GECO) and I expected 1181 FPS and FMJ listed on the box. Instead; is lists 1200 FPS and Totally metal jacketed and the box says assembled in USA with US and foreign...

Personal preference; Some like the arched but it seems most like the flat ones. Manufacturers put flat one on because that is what most people want any more. 1911's were originally made with flat housings but they were chanced to arched, I think when the 1911A1 chances were incorporated. The...

Glad to hear it. I lucked out with my Ronin; fit at the rear is great.

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...
