1911

So I recently joined the 1911 Club and I figure I would give my quick review and experience. I haven't shot a 1911 in a LONG time, and I've never owned one. Never really seen the point, but was always open to the idea. With the Tisas 1911s blowing away the internet for an inexpensive 1911, I...

I got this AMT hardballer a few months back and have put 70 hours into it so far. Polishing the slide, frame, frame trails Barrel and throat. Redone the slide and frame to many times. The slide is finally all even and on the final Polishing steps. I'll post a few before pictures and some of the...

I recently acquired a Thompson Auto Ordnance 1911 with this interesting gold and black cerakoat paint job. The trigger is an original Videcki. Wanted to show off this original 1911 and see anyone had suggestions to add to this piece.

How feasible would it be to modify a 2011 grip module to accept cheaper type of magazine or vice versa? I was thinking how convenient it would be if someone designed a grip module to accept a cheaper type of magazine like a glock mag, but I remembered that the 2011 mags narrow at the top to fit...

I have been thinking about dressing up a Coonan 357 with some new grips. StonerCNC has several options, and I discussed something custom like marbled carbon fiber with them. I'm not usually a big fan of CF, but am betting these would look incredible against the brushed and satin stainless. I...

Planning on doing this real soon possibly today. Just wondering if any of you have done this and have any advice or tips. My plan is to gut the MSH, insert it with the rest of the components installed, depress the grip safety, and tap the bottom of the MSH with a plastic hammer upwards into...

where/who would you take your basic GI 1911 to have front strap checkering and new sights installed?

Finally got my Sig Sauer Ultra Compact Nickel 1911 from the FFL today (to match my nightstand gun). Thanks to @Alabamacoastie for going out of his comfort zone and buying some gold off me so I could sell my wife on the purchase! Also, I got this from Triple T Guns in NC (Raleigh?). He sells...

I need to rent a set of 1911 slide fitting bars. I can even use them at your place if you would like.

Best quick-access safe for a full-size 1911? Kid is about to be 2 and I can't leave it loaded in the drawer anymore. Right now on my radar is the Vaultek? My wife doesn't trust the RFID on the Hornady pop up safe. We sold our Barska because it was not quick action and way too large. Any...

I'm sure this has been brought up multiple times, but what are people's recommended IWB 1911 holsters? Anyone have one in particular for a SIG Ultra Compact? I have to house the Ultra Compact but would love it if I could fit a full size in the same holster. I normally just carry with a backpack...
