That and darn it; THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A "BAD" 1911, especially a USGI one... ENJOY it! :p:D

Gryff, as an owner of an 85%-90% deep/royal blued, completely "correct" 10,000 serial number range 1911 (not an A1), and nearly a dozen more 1911's of all different types, I can completely understand what you are saying. I've bypassed some beautiful "rebuilds" for what now seems to be a very...

A lot of great answers here, but I think it needs to be quantified a bit better to the "correct" one... - Originally, there no doubt the cylinders were sans-fluting due to it being easier and cheaper from a production/machining aspect. - After the advent of the "magnum" era, I would bet that...

Trijicon always has a Bible verse ref'ed on the base of the scope (like John 3:15), so if it doesn't have that, then it' a copy...

Good for you! Gotta love the big-bore revolvers. Don't you just love when the long search is over with, that is until THE NEXT SEARCH begins! LoL... Many years ago, I hunted and hunted for a particular model HK-P7 series pistol (the squeeze cockers). After a while, I had pretty much given up...

9mm Walther PPQ M1 in a Don Hume IWB holster. 2 extra 15 round mags. in my front pocket... Gotta LOVE that quick-reset trigger. ;-)

I don't have a dedicated .22cal AR but I have a couple "regular" AR guns with different triggers, so with that said, here goes.... - The Rock Island 2 Stage "Match" trigger: For the money, I think this is possibly the best "match" or even all around AR trigger out there. I think I paid about...

LoL.. So, I guess you've never seen a turbo'd Big Block? Mikey, it's all a personal pref. I like both 9 & .40 (and .45 and 10mm really) for carry, but my wife has a MUCH easier time with 9 vs. .40, so that may be a consideration for you as well??? .40 IS quite a bit "snappier" for recoil and...

Excellent posting Larry... Somebody referenced this as being a "parts gun". Well, almost ALL the early martial SAA's are that way as all of these guns had been reworked/rebuilt at least once in their military service life. How these rebuilds were explained to me was: the armorers would take all...

I agree with some of the others here; if you aren't having problems hitting what you are aiming at, while shooting at reasonable/defensive distances, then why change it? A compact gun is a defensive gun. If you are hitting "stuff" even at 30-40 feet (which is WAY farther than you probably would...

There's a lot of good/logical answers above, so I'll be short and sweet as to why S&W did this: SPACE ALIENS :eek:

I've used Testors paint for sight touchups in the past and I agree with you regarding the solvent resistance... But, what did you use to take the excess paint off the outside surface? You didn't let the Testors dry before removing the residual did you?

I'm not doubting your experiences but in my 340, I was surprised to find that the .38+P's actually displayed more muzzle flash than the .357 loads that I tried. I certainly expected the opposite myself (I figured if I didn't hit 'em with the .357 load, maybe I'd set them on fire if they were...

YEA! Good for you! On the trigger, if yours is 1/2 as bad as mine was, go and spend the $25 and get yourself the APEX Tactical trigger kit for the J-frames: https://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid49.html Mine was not only heavy (registered higher than my RCBS trigger scale could...

I have owned and carried the similar, 340PD since the scandium framed revolvers first came out (12 years ago???). Here's my take: -This gun IS my "front pocket of the cargo shorts" summer-carry pistol. When combine with a Desantis Nemesis (or similar) pocket holster, NOBODY knows you are packing...
