    Seriously. I twitch every time I see an SAO gun with the hammer back and safety off or DA/SA gun with the hammer back at all.

    As far as price Impact Machine was $150 per before finishing when I got my slides done. I think Green Tick Tactical is priced similarly. Those are the two I really looked hard at for my two slides.

    The TCP is the same gun but with a rail and a mag well instead of a bobtail, so now that it’s optic ready it seems the ECP shouldn’t be far behind.

    His website still says as much now, at least. I'm also intrigued by his OWB options. A Galco "Avenger" copy of the original Nelson Professional is the first OWB holster I've actively liked, and the...

    Any slide stop may need fitting to your gun. That's the reality of most 1911 parts, and this one is no exception. It may need work to get it installed, and in my experience I've needed to file on one...

    Similar experience here. I am liking dots a whole lot so far because I naturally target focus after spending my formative shooting years (ages 11 to 23 or so) primarily shooting clays and birds and...

    I view use of a manual safety if present as absolutely mandatory - safety is pushed to “on” every time the muzzle comes off target and out of a firing position. I will not own or use guns with manual...

    I think I speak for everyone when I say Staccato needs to stop recycling old model names and using names that are very similar to each other. This is getting confusing.

    That’s weird. SOMEONE tapped the holes in that slide, and knows what thread pitch they are. But it may be they’re tapped at whatever the Holosun screws are (6-32?) which would make sense.

    Would the JM holsters for Staccatos not likely fit?

    If they fit your applications you could also consider the ACRO and 509 clamp mount footprints, which work on 1911/2011 and CZ thin slides.
