1911
A friend of mine purchased a 1911 clone custom. Its Got an Essex frame and Colt slide. He doesnt want it anymore. He said he cant afford a custom gun. He was going to sell it to me Awhile back but he waited too long and I got one of my own to work on. Anyway what do you think would be the best way to sell it? Part it out or sell it as a whole. He isnt computer literate and I told him Id put it up for sale on GB for him. He is a good guy and I just want to get the most out of it for him. To part it out or not to part it out. That is the question.

I picked up a used Springfield 1911, had a set of crimson lasers for it, the insert came out when I tried to take the hand grips off, it seems the treads are ok, but the threaded insert has no treads on it, spent all day trying to find some. I'll end up mail ordering some, I wanted to mount the laser grips, was going to the range, just might wait till next week. 0 -

SALT LAKE CITY - State lawmakers are debating whether to designate a semiautomatic pistol as the official gun of Utah, despite protests from people who believe it's inappropriate because of recent mass shootings.
The bill to make the Browning M1911 the official gun breezed through a committee hearing this week and is scheduled to be debated by the full House as early as Wednesday.
Republican Rep. Carl Wimmer said the state should have the gun as one of its state symbols to honor John Browning, a Utah native who invented it in 1911.
"He invented a firearm that has defended American values and the traditions of this country for 100 years," Wimmer told the House Political Subdivisions Committee.
Utah has 24 state symbols recognizing the history, geography and culture of the state. They include a state cooking pot, a state tree, a state hymn and a state folk dance.
The committee approved the bill to add a state gun on a 9-2 vote.
Wimmer said the Browning M1911 is widely used by the military, police officers and private citizens, which is why he chose the pistol instead of another Browning gun.0 -

Hello I have a Kimber Grand Raptor
2 and it shoots like a dream.
The only issue I have is I really
have a tough time reaching
the hammer and thumbing it back.
It's quite annoying and I don't
carry any semi cocked and locked.
Does anyone else have the same problem.
Oh yea it has one of those hammers with the hole
in it.
Thanks-Ron0 -
There is no way in the world i could eat a pepper of yours. With all the work they did in my mouth a pepperoni is too hot for me to eat.
Its funny i used to like more hot things than my wife and now i can not have anything spicy.[:(]0 -
Hello all. I would like to get an oldermilitary 1911 pistol. It does not need tobe in perfect shape, although I want a safeshooter. The shops around here have newerversions but you find very few older guns.I thought you might have a few good ideas. I once had a balester Molinanot the correct spelling from argentina itwas a nice gun but had no grip saftey. thanks Vince 0 -
I am or am going to be in the market for a 1911 in the near future. As I look around there is a wide range in price. Should i go all out and spend or are some of the less pricey ones as good. I really like the looks of Kimbers Eclipse Custom II. What is the best IYO Any help please 0 -

Yo Mr. tobefree ... does that pistol say CANADA on the side? What a riot ... looks like you can make them in Canada, but you can't buy them up there! (at least you can't buy them in Canada without wading through a b-i-g pile of RED TAPE!) 0 -
Really I think it depends, I paid a lot of money for my fancy 1911 (Les Baer) and it shoots fine never had a stove pipe or jam not one. I paid next to nothing for my non fancy 1911 (Charles Daly) and it shoots same ammo just as accurate and has never failed to chamber either, lucky? Probably I would like to believe that the more expensive guns have a higher machining tolerance, more hand fitting etc. However the two gun's performance don't lie 0 -
Rock Island or Springfield for a cheap but utterly reliable blaster. Kimber or Les Baer for a higher end gun.
Of course, an original GI model is nice too if you don't mind the sights, etc., and can be had used for decent prices still.0 -
I prefer the Springfield TRP Model then my second choice would be their slightly cheaper Loaded Model. Good Luck!! 0 -
I have Colts, and I can't complain. 0 -

If you can't tell a difference between a Les Baer and a Charles Daly I will beleive you that your shooting accuracy was no different while shooting either brand.
Besides, Les Baer doesn't make a "Fancy" gun. They make0 -
Of course you could always look at a STI

+1 on the Springfields. Another good thing about them is their warranty is for the life of the firearm, period. It doesn't matter who owns it. Plus their customer service is great!
I am thinking about getting an STI myself too.0 -
I still prefer a Kimber. Never a problem. 0 -
