Love my 1911s

I don't think in general it hurts a firearm, but if you're worried about it then get snap caps.

I put a magwell and changed to a 19 pound mainspring. I forgot about those.

I got mine for Christmas. It's a 9mm. Shot too high and Springfield sent me a shorter rear sight. Mine came with the dual recoil assembly. I changed that out with an EGW kit.

I have run close to 3000 rounds of 9mm with not one failure from my XD or 1911.  I've found this to be very good and clean ammo.  Maybe it was just a bad lot.

Very nice looking Smith.  One day I will own a 586.

You could fly into Nashville on Southwest and rent a car through Hotwire.com for $15/day.  It wouldn't cost you thousands, but you would be able to get your things quicker.

You can buy a new Colt Competition series of pistol for that price.  PSA or Colt?  Let me think about that one.  LOL

A consumer is supposed to know the UPC code on an item?  I research model numbers, but not UPC codes. 

The frame of the government (5"), commander (4.25"), and champion (4") are the same.  Those guns have a full size frame.  It's the compact size frames that are smaller.  Like others have stated, some parts require fitting, but many do not.  Grips are interchangeable between the full size frame units

You could always keep it as a backup just in case another phone gets ruined.

We need a range report, and did it come with the made in America tag?  Enjoy!!!

Me to the bad guy--wait until I find my reading glasses!!!

I was all set to order a set of TFX Pros, but I got this image from their customer service department when I asked about sight picture. Now, I'm not quite so sure. My old eyes would get all sorts of confused. I see the top of the sights much better than trying to align the tiny dots. I might be able to do it okay at night.
