1911

I recently noticed with no magazine a slight play between the slide and the frame. Has anyone with a EMP notice this?? I have a video but it won’t load..

After thoroughly reviewing the previous concerns related to the Prodigy, including issues with feed, ejection, battery failure, magazine, light recoil spring, disconnector, and various friction points, I still decided to purchase the Prodigy despite the $1500 investment, fully aware of these...

Looking for feedback/input on options for installing an extended magazine release button (extended button, not an extended magazine :-)) for my 1911 Operator .45acp. What have you found that works (or doesn't)? Was it worth the effort/price?

So the Garrison went back to SA on 7 Sep. I sent it with a letter describing the issue and some additional items I wanted, and would pay to have done, trigger swap, mainspring housing swap, trigger work, grip screw swap. On 16 Oct I received an email giving me a couple of options refinish the...

Hi folks! I just picked up my first Springfield Armory weapon this month, and it happens to be an Operator 1911,. It's always been a goal of mine to have a nice 1911 of my own, and I used to lust after the TRP and Professional 1911. Given I don't have the deep pockets for a Pro, I was really...

I just bought a new Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec. I’d like to add a beavertail safety to it without modifying the frame. I’ve read on another forum where this has been done with a Wilson Combat Drop-In Commander Beavertail (after filing the safety). However, this was done on a Springfield 1911...

I just purchased a DeSantis Mad Max for my Mil-Spec. I was surprised when I received it to see that the holster was clearly molded for a SIG Sauer 1911 and not the standard slide profile. The holster fails the drop test, hold it upside down and the gun s slide right out. You can see light...

Just bought a barely used floor model Defender 1911 off gunbroker.com. My first .45 (haven't received it yet). Went with a SA Defender for price/quality. Couldn't afford the .45's I saw with built in rails. In todays pandemic, riot, liberal anti 2A world, the prices have gone nuts... I have...

I have been interested in the 80% scene for a little while and decided to try it. I’m almost finished with this. I’m kinda stuck I’m hoping it’s the mags I got they are pro mag 8 rounders. The frame where the magazine slides into is very very tight and these won’t fit. Should I have to remove...

Ok figure this would be the best place to ask. I am torn between buying the Rnage Officer as I have shot it at the range and love it. But I have been reading about the Ronin but not have been able to try it out at the range as no one has one to try. From everything I have read the Ronin is a...

yeah, i been busy, being retired sucks. i work more now at home then i ever did on the job. been away for a while since i joined. but anywho, i picked up a new S/A Ronin, cleaned/lubed it, and took it to the range for at least 50 rds. then wash, rinse repeated until the next range visit...

🎵Aaaaahhhhhhhhh🎵

Any recommendations for night sights for the 1911 A1 9mm? Will take it to smith to install, but I don’t want to have a bunch of work done. Thank you!

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...

Hello fellow Springfield fans!!! I have always wanted a 1911 and it’s time to scratch that itch. I’ve been saving up my pennies and selling my blood so hopefully by the end of the year I can get whatever my heart desires. And that’s where you come in. Below are the models I’ve been looking at...

It has been impossible to get ammo. Today I could see I could get 1,000 rounds of 45 GAP. I have only ever shot .45 ACP in my 1911 RO Operator. Can 45 GAP be used in the 1911 Range Officer 1911? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys. New here. Just bought brand new a Springfield Armory RO Elite Operator 10mm 1911 the other day. Love it (don't love the feed issues from the shitty mags that come with it though). I ordered new chip mccormick(?) mags to hopefully fix the problem of hollowpoints/flat nose rounds...

It’s nice to have a smaller lightweight 1911 back in my collection. Weighing just 29.5oz and sporting a forged aluminum alloy frame, it should be a nice addition to my EDC rotation. The finish is superb. The satin aluminum cerakote on the frame, matches well with the blued slide and wood grips...

A few month's ago I bought a 1911 EMP® CHAMPION™ CONCEALED CARRY CONTOUR 9MM and because of scheduling issues wasn't able to shoot it until a few month's after. In doing so I had a slide/feed issue after every shot. Took it to the vendor I bought it from, they oiled it up and using their ammo it...

I’m looking for the correct IWB holster for an EMP 4 (9mm) I just got and I was on alien gear site and I’m just not sure which one will fit it correctly. Anyone have any suggestions?
