N-frames are the best frames!

I'm jealous.... ;)

So long as the frame is cut for a ramped barrel, yes. Otherwise the feed-ramp is different.

Those are awesome!

I own each of those as well (all about the same vintages too) and while the M58 is probably the best N-frame carry gun ever made (OK, maybe the 520 ;) ) the Highway Patrolman...

I posted this on another forum a bit ago... might be useful here too...

Magazines...

There are a number of magazines on the market now and I’ll be the first guy to tell you that if you have a...

I gotta say I find it interesting that after all these years the 1911 is still such a polarizing gun that videos like this are still being made.

I looked at the video while I did some office work...

My take... with the possible exception of finishes that add material thickness to a part(s), something that was made and fit together correctly (theoretically) needing to be “broken in” is a lot like...

I've never noted feed lips spreading from leaving them loaded but rather from slide lock reloads.

The bullets stacked in the tube with all the spring pressure behind them combined with the sudden...

There was at one time an ambi-safety version produced, not sure if it is any longer. That said, I generally recommend avoiding ambi-safeties unless you are a true lefty and especially so if you have...

I would recommend giving this a try as well.

Extended thumb safeties have never been consistently useable for me because of how high my hands are on the gun, the overall shape of my hands, and the...

I generally try not to diagnose functional issues over the internet, as it's pretty hard to do without actually seeing the gun. However, based on the photos above and your description if the fired...

It's better... at least for me.

Nothing wrong with the Ares Gear, I like the adjustable system they use, but the relative stiffness of the Aegis doesn't serve to pull the gun in as well as the...

Super classic rig!

That front sight appears to be staked on.

I pretty much agree with this statement... new production revolvers built to the standards that S&W had in the 50s, 60s, and 70s would have to cost a good bit at the gun counter. Whereas the S&W M10,...

Red Loctite #271

This is correct.

It could be attached via velcro or laced into a bag/purse/briefcase via the eyelets.

No... most of the problems I read about on forums or see in production guns is not due to the design but rather poor execution of it.

How do they expect it to work? The design is inherently...

Sorry for the delay on this...

Current Colt guns are great... dimensionally consistent with good machining. They make great platforms on which to build.

With regards to barrel "fit", they are...

Yes, two-piece barrel... looks completely normal to my amature eye.

RE: Radial lug set back...

In my experience there are two main causes for this, there may be others but these are common:

First - the barrel has end shake; meaning it has the ability to move...

Hard to give a definitive answer because people will often define "fit" differently. I mean, are we talking about an oversized part that requires addressing every area or a part that is pulled out of...

A competent 1911 builder can certainly make a 9mm 1911 reliable. Even though I believe that on a long enough timeline the 45ACP Government Model will be the most reliable 1911 configuration, a single...
