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.

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.
I typically stay out of this subject because I've grown to dislike discussing politics online, but, one salient point that I think specifically applies to Chinese optics is: Trijicon and Leupold do...
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...
After working a bit on and off with fixed blade stuff I think I'm coming to the conclusion that OWB/belt wrap carry just isn't for me currently. I do much better carrying a knife vertically IWB at...
Well now I suddenly really want an In-Victus for my 1911, especially since before browsing his site this morning I didn't know how truly "custom" his work was. I'm always tweaking my kydex stuff to...
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'm a huge fan. Both of the VCD-equipped 1911s in that photo are the ones I primarily shoot and carry. The blued Kimber with the full checker Herretts is "my wife's" and also a second backup to the...
Don't have any safe queens here...
Do have a decent collection of holsters and have been doing a lot of dry fire lately.

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 didn't know you weren't supposed to do that. The only downside I can see is maybe your chosen holster doesn't lead to a correct ride height with the Express plate, but like you I've found my JMCK...
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.
Having recently been there and done that with my own set of direct milled slides, you’ll want to check with AIM to make sure. There are a few possible options for what they could have used for thread...
If Dawson will work with you on the sight and you can live with something other than fiber, you may consider getting a plain black sight installed and ordering it on the tall side so you can file it...
Two random questions to throw out here.
One, has any option materialized for an ALS mechanism holster for a 1911 with a dot but without a rail or light? I think the answer is no but thought I’d...
Would the JM holsters for Staccatos not likely fit?
Alternatives that come to mind are Tenicor, whose holsters just generally fit 1911s and 2011s; Dark Star, who have come out with a 2011 option;...
I had a couple 1911 slides done by them and ran into some long (or longer than previously indicated) wait times, but it was literally at the same time as they were clearly hiring more staff and...
If I was getting into 1911s with a fresh start today, I think it would be very hard to go with something other than this in the production range of options, especially at $1500. And I hate saying...
High praise (abject flattery, really) for Facebook.
I don’t know if the first sentence is tongue in cheek and that’s just not coming across via text, but you know there are plenty of people (including multiple active members on this forum) who do...
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.
I have 1911s that are carry guns and I went with the EPS...
Good to know THUGs are still a thing. Last I knew MARS was having some problematic response and production times (even for a custom shop), so hopefully that's turning around. I really like the...
