1911 BS thread

So, not to ask for advice and then ignore it. But I looked through my cleaning supplies and found slip 2000 that I bought last year. Any reason I couldn’t t at least try that out, versus buying something new? If it doesn’t help then it looks like I have a few other options from your recommendations.

 

Love the two tone look!! Black slide on top of coloured or hard chrome frame was always my fav!!

 

Give it a try and see. I'm not an expert in this area, trial and error are great data collectors. Just don't do it in real life, or match conditions!

 

I've been a competitive shooter for over 15 years and can vouch for the Slip 2000 stuff. The method P2W said for lubing is in line with what I have done.

 

I’ll give it a try. Looks like CLP maybe something I still need to pick up?...

 

IMO, the Slip 2000 will do anything you need for a pistol.

 

That’s Wilson Combat Armor Tuff, the gun is Springfield stainless, I had shot it so much the stainless was starting to rust

 

I haven’t had to buy gun lube in years, the ALG was swag at a match where Geissele was the major sponsor

 

I know what you mean. Between Lucas, Brownells, Slip2000 and others sample packs, I have a lifetime supply of gun oil.

This simply means you need to shoot MORE

 

Ha, good point. I went from 8200 rounds in 2015 and gradually went down to a measly 1700 rounds last year.

 

Go to the range during this social distancing exercise.........


Pew pew us life

 

Of roading and pew pew time. Perfect way to social distance ourselves right.

 

FIFY

 

I'm going tomorrow. I have a couple of rifles to zero.

 

Went yesterday, shot a USPSA match and then did some practice. Shot a total of 340 rounds through Glock 43X and AR9.

 

Give it a try if you don't own one get a bore snake. If you are planning to run a lot of rounds run the gun a little "wet".

 

Just picked up a Dan Wesson Valkyrie in 9mm. Can anyone recommend a leather AIWB holster? Prefer clip versus belt loops, but am not ruling out loops.

I ordered one for my DW Guardian 9mm. Should have it soon. I already have one for a Sig. Great holsters.

 

Great, thank you. Just what I was looking for. Hadn't seen those on the 1911 forums I've been stalking.

Did you custom order for the Guardian? I'm only seeing generic 1911 with 4.25" barrel.
