EXCELLENT post Okie John! I’m in my middle 70’s and grew up reading all the men you mentioned, a lot! Nothing, apart from scripture, had as much influence on my life. I’m truly sorry for a generation...

Here’s what Titus Custer sent me tonight.

Original:
Single layer, Intended for casual/EDC/work wear, approx. 12/14oz weight - with some variation from batch to batch, meant to be a...

Holy Mackerel man, don’t let that one get away!

I saw that same Gen 3 trigger comment, and really didn’t know what he was talking about.
In response to your question, I just tried mine, and honestly can’t perceive any difference between them.

My LGS got 5 of these in yesterday, at the same time I was getting the email from SA announcing it’s introduction.
I bought the first of the 5, and while I haven’t fired it I am very stoked about...

Another BIG plus is the very low cost to get into one of these. Also, I have old, arthritic thumbs, so ordered the extended mag release and lighter spring, and man, has that helped me!
Good email...

Assuming you are right handed, hold the frame by the grip in your right hand, mate the front of the slide to the frame first, at the notches, then simply snap the slide down into the notches at the...

Been using belts from Custer Custom Leather, in Columbia, Ky. for several years. His Original standard belt, I believe uses 12/14 oz leather, with nice stitching and free shipping, for about $50. ...

I’ve had the DC version for about 2 1/2 years. I’m a big SP101 fan, and have J frames. Neither are in the same league with the K6, fit, finish, or trigger. Especially that sweet K6 trigger. I want a...

Thanks for the input fellows. I started my search today for one of these locally.

I’ll pick up the first one of these I see, more than likely.
Some background BEFORE my question. I’ve been shooting autoloaders for 50 years, the first 20 of which almost always saw a 1911 of some...

I’ve not shot 115’s in it, but it likes 124 and 147 equally well, as far as my meager skills can determine.
Reliability is the same with either, in mine.

I’ll be on lookout also. I had the .45, and have had the 9mm version of the real ECO for 2 or 3 years now. It is a superb carry 1911 and dead reliable.
Be patient, one will turn up. I’ve got “a...

I’ve owned several Shield 1.0’s for four or five years. I picked up my new Shield Plus yesterday and my heart sank when I reached in the box and grabbed it by the grip. I was sure the seller had sent...

Sauer Koch is spot on. I have 5 of Tony’s holsters, and will have another on order soon. As far as I’m concerned,
JMCK is Kydex perfection! Attention to detail is superb.

Skip

Absolutely agree. Not only great info, but also the best presentations I’ve seen from Mr. Vickers.

I love JMCK holsters and have several. I am a big fan of Kydex, but all my 1911’s ride in leather. Just personal preference on my part. I don’t have one for EVO yet, but will probably use Ryan...

I like your EVO, Elwin. I’ve got the EVO CCO9, in black. I love 1911’s and age + arthritis has encouraged me to get more of them in 9mm. I have several nines, and they all work as well as my .45’s....

Chomps, I know it’s very discouraging to have to send a new gun back because of functional problems. Ammo prices won’t stay at current levels forever, and I’d certainly give the Hellcat another...

Springfield will get you squared away. Watch some YouTube reviews of the Hellcat. It is very reliable and durable.
Mine has yet to malfunction with any ammo I’ve put in it. It’s a part of my daily...

Thanks for this thread. I just ordered these Hogues, as well as the Kimber Comfort Cores tonight. That’ll make 5 sets of grips for my DC, but by golly, I AM gonna find some grips that these old...

And I’ll be messing with mine in the morning. Been carrying it every day for about 8 months, and love it. Dead reliable and a great shooter, but be certain I’ll be following this thread with more...

+1 on communication with Tony. The one time I wanted his advice on holster selection, he responded quickly.
I’m 6’, 175 lbs, with 36” waist.
If it means anything, I just ordered my
4th OWB2 this...

Got several in this week from Botach. $34.95 if IRC. Like all HK stuff they are beautiful, lol !
Makes the P30 even greater.

Just picked mine up from the nightstand. No rattle at all. And btw, I REALLY like the Hellcat in the Vedder IWB holster. Wear it all day long.
