Show your 1911.

Standard 1911 recoil spring should be 16 lbs, with the extra power spring at 18.

Commanders 20.

Officers 24.

14 sounds light to me. Only reason I'd go that light is if you used low power reloads, or sub sonics.

 

Going back to this one. The recoil spring discussion lit a light off in my head.
The commander (Pro) slide with what should be a 20 lb spring can't strip rounds off the factory Kimber mags because the mag spring is too weak to push them up in time.

 

will they work with the kimber TAC mags...????

 

Not sure. I just googled the Kimber TAC mag and they look like standard factory Metalform mags so I'm guessing no.
With extra power mag springs (ex. Wolff) they should.

 

Yeah sorry I was trying to post off of my phone at work. I have the 18lb spring in my operator.

 

Here is my Springfield EMP 9mm with custom grips.

 

Don't quite get the idea of making a concealed carry gun look pretty... especially with slick grips like that. It's already small enough to be a bit wiggly.

 

I cant wait to get mine. Only 1 more month.

 

Springfield GI.

Custom-fit barrel bushing
VZ grips
Aluminum trigger
Milled dovetail front sight channel
C&S front sight
YB Classic rear sight
S&W flat MSH


Probably some other stuff I forgot.

 

Just bought mine yesterday. FL has a 3 day wait so i wont get to pick it up till thursday. I got the Springfield 1911 GI champion. Picked it up for $499. As soon as i get it i will post up some photos. First thing i am going to do is get some new grips and look at a trigger job. I cant wait to shoot it. I also got my wife a S&W sigma 9mm so pictures will be up of that too.

 

Pick up my guns tomorrow morning!!!

 

My XDM .45

 

Nice! All the XD's are awesome guns. I think i will get one of the 9mm ones as a carry.

 

Would be a great service/open carry gun, but having both I much prefer a Glock 19 for carry. It carries concealed much easier and costs about the same.

 

My Navy themed Kimber Custom II 1911. Hooyah!!!

Shoots really well too. Also, this is not a safe queen if you were wondering. I have a holster for it and carry it at least once a week.

Engraving was done by Mark Swanson. If you need something done, let me know and I can get you in touch with him. I know he'd appreciate the work.

 

My CZ75B and custom built 1911 that my grandfather gave to me a couple years ago. He bought this 1911 back in the day for $35!

 

My new 1911 and S&W 9mm

 

That thing is gorgeous... Did customize after you bought it??? Or did you get it like that??

 

I bought it in order to have it engraved. I just got a wild hare up my but, or however the saying goes, and bought it and had it engraved... Didn't know exactly how it was going to turn out till i got it back. I trust the artist that much.
