LOL, you get what you pay for.....

Might I suggest a bottle of aspirin....

Still has the new car smell,,
 

Kimber TLE II with Surefire X300 and Crimson Trace Grips. Couple extended Wilson Combat + Mags, and a diaper to rub her down with.

Maybe 5 .45's is a bit much?

Yeah, a case of beer. :D

Just picked up a USP45 Tactical under 350 rounds yesterday from a buddy for an amazing price yesterday. He hooked me up with it for 500 bucks.

Lucky bastard.....;)

Picked up a Charles Daly EFS at the Raleigh Gun Show a couple weeks ago, and just last week got a Wilson Combat Millenium Protector. I have Gold Dots and Wilson mags in both.

I'll say ! Even used they generally go for $800-$1,000

You stole that thing from that poor guy. :cool:

Shoots pretty well, unfortunately I don't like the sights on the thing. Any recommendation on adjustable sights for the the gun? (Preferably 3 dot.)

You sure you purchased a "HK Tactical"? They come with adjustable sights......

As far as shoots pretty well, I put it against any .45 pistol for accuracy, yeah, any.

They are adjustable, looking for night sights preferably the 3 dot variety. I don't like the all black adjustable sights. Forgot to list that I was looking for adjustable night sights. Oh yea might as well throw up pics of the 2 new toys.

droool...droolll.

dumb (or dumbest) question of the day. What's the significance or utility of the pens, gits? I have my speculation but I'll keep it to myself lest I'd look even dumber

To give the picture a little bit of depth, better/diff view, prop it up, etc, and all the guys over at ar15.com Handgun forums are doing it. Kinda like the pic posted here.

SA XD-45 Compact

Outstanding quality, very reliable, feels ungodly and shoots true in my hands.

I've got a full size USP.45 with just the sights you're talking about, let's trade....;)

I hate you gits.. I'm gonna keep your glock when I go pick it up.. not because I like glocks, you just don't need anything else.

We had a order for M&P 45's in the dark earth color. SF crest is on the top of the slide. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I already have an appointment to get the trigger short travel and set at 4.5 pounds. Going to do some stippling on the polymer, but well see because who knows how deep the dark earth color is and it would be weird having black stippling on an otherwise tan gun.

They were 465 as I recall, not a bad deal. No nightsights but since itll probably be a IDPA CDP gun ill probably just throw some cheap truglows on there.

You can replace the FLGR with the "GI" type, as found here.

And a conventional spring plug like this.

I've not found a reason for having a FLGR, yet.

What Kind of .45
 

I have a 1941 Kongsberg Colt .45 (built in Norway while under Nazi occupation).

That was the first thing I did to the SA TRP Operator that I purchased.

I'm not crazy about a FLGR in any 1911 handgun. It opens the frame and slide to increased debree and other fouling that the standard GI type guide rod spring plug does not during recoil of the weapon.

Just my .02

George:

Do all scientists skip reading their registration message or the board rules and stickies?

You seem to have missed a step.

Well TS, I threw another 200 rounds through my TRP Operator so far have had 1 FTF, 5 FTFs with around 500 rounds through it. I think all the carbon build up on the feed ramp might be the culprit on the FTFs. While my H&K 45c continued to eat through 200 rounds with no lube and has 1500 rounds through it.

Amazing !!

I've put 500 rounds of various ammunition through a new Rock Island Armory GI 1911 with zero failures. The cost of the weapon was $429. :munchin

Most of the ammuniton was WWB, PMC, Hydroshock and some Wolf 230 grain.

ETA: I'm using nothing but Wilson Combat mags and one Novak 8 rounder.

Geez imagine that.........:rolleyes:

Another crappy working 1911 clone. (You do know I cut my teeth on 1911's but I'd NEVER again use one in a fire fight.;))

Thanks for being honest.

Team Sergeant

I got a Rock Island Armory GI M1911 pistol to start learning with last month and have only put 100 rounds through it with one FTF, but that was probably a fault that can be attributed to my inept hands.

I think it's a great pistol, but to be honest I don't really know what constitutes a great pistol. I'd love to get more practice with it but, unfortunately, ammunition is expensive.

I've had an EAA 'Witness' for awhile... I thought I'd like it - I dont. The trigger SUCKS.

I have a old style Para-Ordnance frame that was put together with Colt Gold-Cup parts and I love it but it spends most of its time in the case looking nice.
If I ever buy another pistol chambered in .45 it will be a Glock 21.

Since most of my pistol shooting is done with a Glock 19 or an M-9 I don't even pull the .45's out of the box any more.

Mine is a Glock 30, although it seems just a little on the thick side for carrying.
It hasn’t bugged me enough yet to get something else, although eventually I probably will.

Mine's a ...
 

Ruger P97DC , it eats anything in .45 that I feed it. No failures in 6 years. No safeties, no problems. except shoots a little low. I will fix that with a file ...someday. Blitzzz
I also have a Colt 70 series 1911. it pretty good as far as that goes, but it's not my Ruger.

I'm picking up an STI Ranger II .45 next week.

Can't wait.

HK45
 

Picked up a new H&K HK45 today. Stopped by the range on the way home and ran 50 rounds through it, using three different magazines. Function was flawless!

Kimber TLE/RL. I'm dead nuts shooting one handed, but I push to the left when I use any two handed stances. I know its me, just need more range time and instruction. As far as ammo goes... anything that will fit.

OK, gentlemen...question for those more experienced than I.
I have a Kimber Pro-carry II
I've put a few thousand rounds through it, never had an FTF.
I've heard a lot of guys recently who sounded pretty negative on the 1911, but I've had nothing but good things to say about mine! My question is, what's "wrong," with the 1911?

Also, the reason I like a 1911 is that it just feels right...I have small hands, and the single-stack mag is great...other weapons I've fired feel a lot like I'm trying to hold a 2X4. Is there another weapon out there, more reliable and suited to a "firefight," which would be equally comfortable?

Thanks for your advice!

If it fits your hand and you can shoot accurately with it, who cares what anyone else thinks.
Is the 1911 the most reliable handgun out there? No.
Is it reliable enough for civilian use and everyday concealed carry? Yes.

http://www.sightm1911.com/1911%20History.htm

Looks like we have gone backwards in 98 years.

Accuracy packages, tight clearance tolerances, and hollowpoint ammo do not make for a reliable 1911.

TR

Just picked up a Taurus PT145.

Haven't shot it yet, but it feels real good in my hand. Fit/finish is what you would expect for a gun in its price range. Nice small piece.

My edc is a kimber sis pro. I had to grab the wolf spring due to the kimber being built with cheap springs and short stroking problems. Also switched to my fav mag chip power mags.
