SA 700 not bedded, barreled action isn't for sale nor is the bipod. Bought this for a build for my wife, just too heavy to pack as far as I know this is pristine.. some typical wear on inside of magazine well.. $1400 shipped. I think I have another grip, thumb rests and finger rests

It's 2025 and the patent date issued to the original 1911 was 14 FEB 1911 so we're now officially 114 years 'into the future' yet there's those of us that still love the 1911 and also carry it and figured it's worth asking the question as to why ya do & what type of 1911 you settled on.

Generally speaking, the options available in the past century settle into either full-size (5"/Government), 'Commander' sized (traditionally 4.25" barrel, a few 4" barrels, but retaining the same frame size), 'Officer' sized which has... what 3.5-3" barrel & a smaller frame, and Conceal Carry Officer (CCO) which mates the Commander (aka 'longer) slide with the Officer (aka 'small') frame.

Calibers have been various- 45 ACP of course, 38 Super, 10mm, and also 9mm. Over the years there's also been some variance with the frames in a standard/'combat' frame (aka 'steel') and "lightweight" (aka aluminum/alloy). There's also long/medium/short triggers and flat/wedge/arched mainsprings. Don't forget the flat butt, round butt, or bobtail options. It's the 'lego' of pistols before a name ever was given to it.

So 114 years and that's just scratching the surface- the question though is, for those that still carry a 1911, what configuration and why?

To start it off-

I've never been able to make the standard/government size work (regardless of caliber) for carry. It's just either too big (size wise) and/or too heavy (speaking to both standard & lightweight frames). Commander sized- I'm staring to have good luck with (even though it's only .75" shorter barrel) but the standard frame is still a factor to work around and adding a magwell further complicates concealment purposes. The officer size is actually rather sweet and addresses the previous problems, an even shorter barrel & frame BUT it's been my experience that one needs to be a bit more discerning on what particular model they select to balance out the reliability aspect.

I think that's why I started playing in the "intermediate" world of carry 1911's- Commanders (with bobtails)/ Officers (with bull barrels & flat recoil springs)/ CCO's, etc-. As a quick summary- after lots of 'back & forth' with EDC options I still go back to bobtail commanders & reliable officer sized 1911's (although I'm trying to formulate an option of the CCO configuration and so far I'm really liking it but haven't decided on the "balance" aspect just yet).

Everything else- well I still haven't figured it out. Arched/flat mainspring- I seem to shoot 'em both equally. Short/Med/Long trigger- I tend to lean towards long triggers but I'm just now playing with the shorter options.

Calibers... I tend to stick to the classics and gravitate to 45's in my 1911's. I like 10mm plenty in that style and have been warming up to 38 Super but... the most popular caliber these days seems to be 9mm and I'm frankly just not there yet. I've got nothing against 9mm but just not in my 1911's just yet (reckon I'm still biased over the decades of challenges to get 9mm to feed properly as a shorter cartridge in 1911's as compared to 45/10mm/38super)

Trade for decent lpvo plus cash on my end.

A slight polish of the brass will brighten it up if you so desire. Paypal f&f SOLD shipped via USPS to lower 48. Send PM instead of reply to post to avoid scammers.

All parts LINIB and only mounted for mockup. Cool setup, but the days of my eyes of getting the most from a versatile setup like this are over. I didn't even use loctite. Everything is as new.

Looking for an easy access wall lock for an ar15.

Lockable so kids won’t mess with it but easy access just incase someone wants to fu*k around and find out.

Hornady released brass for 25 Creedmoor last year, and sponsored it. SAAMI officially approved it Jan 19, 2025. SAAMI specs are on this link here.

I hunt with my 25 SST, and the Berger 133s are devastating. This will be a sweet option for lots of people. I wonder how many factory rifles will get made.

Grey w/ grey shock cord. Excellent condition. Never shot with it on. 6 inch SOCOM length. $45 shipped.

I have a Grayboe Terrain LEFT Hand stock for a Tikka T3, inlet for CTR, Sendero barrel profile. Has 3 sling swivel studs, 2 flush cups. Includes Tikka factory CTR aluminum DBM and one CTR magazine.

Price is $350 shipped complete or $300 shipped without the CTR magazine. Accept USPS MO or DISCRETE PayPal.

Please advise any questions, thanks for looking.

So, after much "mentoring" into getting a well made, rugged, high end, end of the world proof watch by @sirhrmechanic, I caved and picked up a Resco Gen 1 Patriot. The thing is a freaking tank, and is definitely something that will get passed down to one of the kids when I leave this world.




Anyone else have some nice watches? I'm pretty impressed with the quality of these Resco's...

Hey guys,

I've got a savage mk 2 that I've decided to turn into a rimfire precision competition gun - I can shoot 1" groups at 100yd with CCI standard velocity out of it.


Currently it sits in an oryx chassis with a Diamondback tactical 6-24, riding an Oryx mlok bipod.



Here's what I DON'T currently like about this setup:

-Balance is terrible
-Scope won't focus at max zoom beyond 100yd (100y is even a bit borderline)
-Bipod is terrible



Here is what I am planning to change in the next month or so:

-Full length ARCA rail
-CKYE Pod
-Stick on Wheel weights jammed into forend
-40MOA Rail
-Mlok side panels+Weights (if required)


I'm not sure exactly what to do about the scope - I may just leave it for now and see what happens later.


What do you guys think? I'll post a photo when I get home from work.






Thanks,

CHOMPS

As new Howa 1500 6.5 CM BA sitting on a MDT field stock.

This rifle was meant to be the start of a new budget build but decided to go a different route. This only has 150 round down the pipe, accuracy was around 1 moa, but keep in mind that I used cheap S&B FMJ ammo for break in. So those should definitely shrink with hand loads or quality match ammo.
