This has been in the back of my mind for a while

This is the only 1911 I'v ever owned. A Colt MK IV Government Series 80. I sold it unfired.

My brother carried a 1911 Colt 45 Commander for years when he was a LEO.
One of my close friends EDC is a Ed Brown 1911.



These are the only two semi-autos that I own today. Both are .45s.

Big mistake. At least in my book.

About the big mistake thing.

Because they are just so fun to shoot.

IMHO changing grips was the proper thing to do. My 28-2 6 in. came with Magna's. I had new Targets on hand and I liked them much better

What do you do to a gun with a soldering iron? I know one thing, it does not sound good

They, IMHO, idiots, "stipple" their guns with them. I've only seen a couple in real life, but both of them looked very amateurish, to put it mildly. One of them had about 100 little conical impressions on each side, and I thought when I held it, "What is the point of this? The stock grip (It was an M&P)is rough enough."

Here you can watch a guy ruin his gun. Just my opinion, he seems happy with it. I just don't get the obsession some people have with an almost crazy fear of "losing my grip" on a gun.

If you ever had to you use a handgun with smooth grips with blood soaked hands you might give them a pass.

And... It can happen.

It was just a Glock so he didn't ruin anything.
