Can I dry fire my SA .45 Range Officer 1911?

Funny, I googled the same question and this particular thread returned. 200-400 rounds twice a week as some said, and a few even way more than that, wow! This thread began two months before the great viral pool party changed the way we interact on earth, when of course ammo then skyrocketed in...

I haven't been to my LGS for a while, need to swing by and what's lurking on the shelves. I'll reply back with the Arizona report. If we're loaded (no pun intended) then y'all have an excuse to storm down here while the weather is still nice. ;)

Hi, I’m so rich I lob gold hand grenades just, you know, because I CAN. We know where that picture was taken… My naturally aspirated engine helped burn the liquid gold that paid for those things! 🤨

Been so busy with work, family and online classes that I haven’t been here in a while, and it only took one click of a forum to get a great laugh (above), much needed! (y)

That’s it. I’m hooked. 🤣

I definitely Wouldn’t mind a couple of those! 👍🏼

Absolutely, I second the motion!

So for a stocking stuffer this year my wife surprised me with a WC 8-round 1911 magazine. I already own a few of the seven-round mags as you know from my post. What surprised me was, the base pad is the same slightly thick on both. I mean, I didn’t order a flush mount when I bought the sevens...

Excellent, thanks for the update! Oh, it's just Paulie... I'm a big fat Italian guy with a Jersey accent, and it's pretty much pronounce pawwww-lee. You know, like Johnny, Frankie, Vinnie, Bruno... oh wait, Bruno doesn't fit the list, lol. Hey, fuhgitaboudit. :LOL:

OH, I just realized you said EB 8's... I had gotten the Black 7's which was all they had in stock last year when I traded up. Just FYI.

I bought Ed Brown mags first, they had a trade-up program for the Pez Dispensers that come with the firearm. They did seem better-made and definitely had a stronger spring. But I kept hearing about WC and so I took the leap of faith and sold the Ed Browns on eBay and ordered two WCs...

As usual the Gang has awesome answers. I like the rotate idea once a month. Or more often, loading big honkin' .45 ball into a mag takes a bit of gaining muscle memory and it just plain feels good. (y)

As long as we are talking about springs and given the fact that I'm pretty much still a noob, does ramming the mag full of rounds and then storing it weaken the spring? I worry too much I think... right now I only have 4 in each mag, stored in my house. Yes, I realize that makes the "7 or 8" mag...

Great info. It's just like the video lie in advertising these days... video was ALWAYS measured vertically (240, 480) then 720 and 1080 vertical lines hit and voila, we have HD, specifically 1920x1080HD. Somewhere some goofball marketer decided that when the video capability doubled to...

Man, you just pegged me, lol!

So I purchased (more like invested) in 4 Wilson Combat magazines for my 1911 Range Officer, and I got the 7+1 because I don't know any better and that's what the 1911 shipped with. So Bill offers 8+1 magazines... should I have gotten those? If it can hold an extra round, why even make a 7+1...

Just ordered 4 boxes of CCI Blazer .45 ACP 230 Ball @ $26 for 50 rds at www.buckinghorseoutpost.com in Wyoming, ordered from them before. Also, FREE2021 gets you free shipping over $75 and there's no tax charged, on my order anyway. They have some Black Friday ammo specials as well, if you sign...

What debate? I like .45 ACP. I don’t need a reason. I bought a blue car. It’s what we liked. We didn’t buy the color we didn’t like. Huzzah.
