No, I did not try the lock. Wish I would have, but I forgot it had one. I never use it. I am hesitant to remove the lock myself. My only gun smithing tool says Visa on it. I should look at a few You Tube vids.

We all like the follow-up on problems with others guns, so... The Fed-Ex guy delivered my Centennial from S&W today. According to the repair sheet, the damn Internal Lock malfunctioned. I didn't remember to have that damn lock looked at before I sent it to the factory. IIRC the gun was sent...

I had some Black Talons that I carried in my Colt 1911. Many, many chamberings, I didn't want to shoot up the defensive ammo. After 17 years I finally shot 'em up. They all lit on the first hit.

I have 686-1.

I have had this gun since 2007. Doesn't average out to even 50 rds/month. I wouldn't call 50 rds/month abuse. I would call that maintaining proficiency.The gun is now at S&W getting a look over. I have no idea why the gun is locking up, either. Hence the trip to the factory. The 'smith I was...

Had this one to the local 'smith last June, 2020. The gun had locked up, as in I could not pull the trigger. Would not budge. After the 'smith fixed it up, within a week I shot 50 rds. with no issues. I had not shot this one since, so I took it to the range today. 22 rds. later it locked up...

I 2nd this. A full size, 5" 1911 will fit in the pocket, too. Nobody believes that I can pocket carry a 1911. The look on ppls faces when I show them..... Edit: I do not use the fleece lined pants, I get the Fire Hose Flex's.

I am sure some here have no clue what "Spy vs. Spy" is. What? Me Worry?

If I may offer another option. If your employer allows you to wear cargo pants, Duluth Trading Post "Fire Hose Pants" and "Fire Hose Flex Pants" have pockets big enough to swallow a full size 1911.(And still get a good grip). For me , the gun snags a hair in the Fire Hose pants. It slides...

In '98 I rode my bicycle from Madison, Wi. to Chattanooga. Straightest route took me through the south side of Chicago. Not a place for a man like me!! I was, and felt like a minority. Called every racist slur in the book for 3 hrs. Cracker, whitey, get your white a** outta the hood, etc. You...

My guess is he may turn, but he will not take one step.

After reading this thread: Martial arts aren't 'real world'...... I am taking the plunge. I have my 1st class tomorrow. I am excited. The bottom line is that should I really have to pull my sidearm in a self defense situation, that I have the hand-to-hand skills to do so. I mentioned to the...

Internal lock guns will become collectable when they stop making guns with the internal lock.

Where's my shotgun?

I don't fix stupid. I let that take care of itself.
