Agree on the Knob Creek 12 -- it's quite good.
I assume you mean the slide to frame fit. This doesn't really affect accuracy, but it does affect the overall feel of quality when shooting and handling the gun.
Ruger might be willing to address...
He posted three times about it, including descriptions of the unboxing and the first range session. Pretty much "initial impression" type stuff.
If Hilton keeps the gun to publish more content...
It's on his Patreon page.
How is the trigger on your copy? Hilton Yam posted initial impressions and he was not at all impressed by the trigger. Of course he can clean it up, but he is assessing the gun with its original...
I think a Swenson inspired restomod would be cool.
Which originals though? There were several iterations of the MEUSOC pistol with different parts. I'm no expert on the subject though, and your observation might be on the money.
Another cool gun from ACW.
The ordering process for these is a little strange. You can't pre-order, it seems you have to watch the website and place an order as soon as one becomes available.
They produced some of these in 9mm but I don't think they ever brought them to market.
RRA seems to have a habit of showing new pistols at SHOT that never get fully developed.
I'm actually more...
I am wondering about the same thing. I also wonder if the thicker frame works with common holsters.
I examined one of these at the LGS today. The decock lever did not seem like it would rub my thumb in a painful way while shooting.
On the other hand while the decock lever is in a good place, it...

Thanks for clarifying that.
However you plan to use your 1903 when you get one, be aware that none of the originals are drop-safe. The more recent version made by US Armament Corp supposedly is.
Ah. Yes I release the slide using my support hand thumb. I've had no problems at all doing it that way, but then I'm still under 1000 rounds with the WC 9mm so it's just getting started.
By "this platform" do you mean Dan Wesson 9mm 1911s specifically? Or 9mm 1911s in general?
Slide lock reload as in what pretty much everyone always does when practicing/training?
I perform...
If you can get into that price range I'd suggest the Wilson Combat ACP Commander 9mm. I currently own the full-size model and it has been running great.
One thing to note is that with their 9mm...
The Sig 1911X also has a checkered front strap.
But it's not just features, it's also build quality. Springfield has done a good job with the recent production Operator -- I'll be interested to...
I assume the new Sig line will contain cast and MIM parts, just like Sig's other 1911 models. That means most of the small parts. But we'll have to wait for a good review to find out.
American...
If the new Sig compares to a TRP then that's going to be a good price. I really no longer consider $1.5K to be a lot of money for a quality all-steel gun.
But whether that gun is worth the cost...
I heard Nighthawk has a good mounting system. Alchemy Quantico maybe? Ed Brown? :)
Avoiding nosebleed prices and still staying with an American made gun leaves you Kimber and Sig I think. ...
Your Mil-Spec will be a perfect gun to learn on when it comes to maintenance, lubrication, disassembly, and reassembly. If you really want a lower priced backup to your Mil-Spec, consider a Tisas...
Colt does indeed supply flush fit 8-round magazines with some of their guns. Those mags seem to work okay, at least in the short term. I personally do not use those mags, I store them in the...
My Wilsons, including my carry gun, all have triggers right around 3.75# and I don't think I would want them to be any lighter than that. Actually a 4# trigger is pretty reasonable. A 3# trigger...
The 1911 is my favorite pistol type and it's what I use, but I don't think we need a forum section devoted to it. The diversity of pistol choice amongst the members is one of PF's strengths.
I...
