Nothing could be finer than a baby 1911,nice looking piece,and happy shooting.I gotta get me one of those also.

RIA CS-Tactical MTAC with Crossbreed clips(my own hybrid) CRKT M16 Folder Eveready 1 Watt LED Gould&Goodrich single Mag Pouch with Wilson 47OXY proper permit(real important)

Told Ya they would fit,looks good too.

what I have experienced is the fact you either get a problem child or you dont,several fellas have great luck with the shorter barrel 1911's,I on the other hand didnt with that one,I ended up selling it.I carry a RIA CS-Tactical with a 3 1/2 inch barrel thats been 100%-go figure.

I have a couple of Kimber mags,one of them is their Kim Pro Tac Mag and this one works pretty well,most of the mags I own are the Wilson Combat model 47 all either in the 7 or 8 round.I have had the best luck with the Wilsons.The Kimber mag actually works better in my RIA Compact than the Wilsons do,only reason is because the Wilsons baseplate is a little to big for the rock,after a little trim work they work great also.I would use whatever magazine works best.the Wilsons have a nylon follower so they wont dig at the feed ramp.

I have had 4 Kimbers at one time or another,currently I own a TLE/RL II that is 100% reliable,the other TLE I sold to a fellow TGO member has also been the same.I used to own a Ultra CDP II that was not reliable with hollowpoints of any kind.The last one I owned was a Stainless II in .40 S&W that also was 100% reliable and very accurate to boot.The finish on the TLE/RL II is not very durable,but can be touched up with a little cold blue,these can be had for around $900.00 used and some times be found cheaper.At present I have to say I am going to keep my latest Kimber,I am very happy with it.A person can purchase a more expensive pistol and also a cheaper one,I would not hesitate to take in another Kimber,thats for sure.

Nice looking leather you have there,almost looks like a Milt Sparks.I like the all leather holsters myself but dont have the patience to wait for one.

1 of each,can never have enough 1911'S,what all this talk and no pics to compare. All 3 are in a different price range but they all fill a different class.I would pick what you really like.

+1 on the MTAC,use one daily for my RIA Compact.

All I did was clean the slide and frame with my wifes fingernail polish remover(dont tell her)this stuff is very high in acetone,then I just rubbed the frame and slide with the bluing on a patch,rinsed in hot water and dried.Of coarse reoiled with Remoil.very easy and quick to do.

I think it will wear at least as good as the original finish,I had to rub it a little so it would blend,but it seems to coat well.if it doesnt(wear decent)its easy to just redo it.

My son and I usually keep an eye out for .45 auto,but lately were still having no luck finding any,he stopped at a Wal Mart in Mississippi last week and the clerk told him they are only getting a few boxes in at a time,said to make it in before 7 AM when the truck makes it and he may find some.

I recently acquired another Kimber TLE/RL II used from a fella(yeh I know I must be a 1911 magnet)anyways the finish was wearing pretty badly,which seems to be the norm with the kimber black oxide finish.my son gave me a bottle of G96 cold blue so I figured I would give it a try,it seems to do a pretty good job of hiding and blending the old finish,even removed the idiot scratch(now thats something).Heres a couple of pics,just in case some of you fellers decide whether its right for you. BEFORE AFTER Bass Pro sells the brand and can be had for just a few bucks,it sure beats having to clean,coat and bake or let a finish air dry for a couple of weeks.

Seems like most are picking up the malware from sites like Facelift,Your Space,and other social sites,my son and daughter picked some up from some of these sites and Malware Bytes seemed to clean their machines up.The reason I never get any viruses is due to the fact I am unsociable and dont frequent them.

Always remember when your doing your walk not to let your snubbie show.

There also is another nice fact,almost everyone on TGO will talk about any brand and or caliber without belittling someone alse because they dont prefer brand x or z.Overall its a pretty diverse group of members.

Ruger GP100 with a 6 inch barrel,I had one that would put them right next to each other(holes that is),and the price of them are usually pretty reasonable.Also they are a very tough pistol ,takes a lot to destroy them.

Its the only place you can go where everyone else is dressed so weird that no one pays attention as to whether you have a gun on or not.

I know nuTHING.

PSSSST-Its RIA:D:D:DI am glad you like it,I knew you would as soon as you got a chance to shoot.

If you are used to shooting 1911,s your not going to be happy with double action triggers,monetarily his offer is worth more money but its a tradeoff for a different type pistol.Its worth it if you think it is.Currently I own only 1 polymer pistol,but thats my preference.I am a big 1911 fan,go figure. P.S. -Pro series 1911,s are currently a little hard to find used-I know

Congrats on the new piece,they are quite nice for the money,mine has been 100%,the Officers size is pretty easy to conceal,and for me a lot of fun to shoot also.I think this is his brother(same family)

Nice looking PT1911,how do you like yours so far,I have the PT with the rail in black and its been great.I will be refinishing my Springer in the alumahyde,I hope it comes out as good as yours did.

Only a good portion of the readers here have at least one,well err,maybe two.They are nice arent they.

Schweet collection,I am envious.man just when I thought I had my 1911ITIS under control and along comes a picture like this.
