1911

I got my first 1911's one is a Para Ordnance Gun Rights and the other is a Frankengun. The Frankengun is a Caspian frame with a Colt series 70 slide and a C-more red dot sight and compensator.

Whose got the most reliable one out there? Ive seen the Kimber and Tac Solutions kits. I want one that wont jam. Im I better off just buying a 22 pistol? Thanks

I'm looking to spend about $800, now with that out of the way I have only 3 stipulations, I have come up with a Para (really like this gun) but have seen others that I have not been able to handle for one reason or another. They are the STI Spartan, Auto-Ordnance Thompson, S&W and a Springfield...

Here are a couple photos of a 1911 that I built for Ken Hackathorn. He was pleased with the results. I was honored to build a pistol for him. His 1911 collection is quite extensive. His knowledge of the 1911 is even more extensive than his collection. And the man himself with his new...

Ok may a stupid question but I tried my seach-fu and came up nil what size tap would I use for the bushings on a 1911 ? normal size not over.

I just bought this cheap RI 1911. I wanted a base 1911 that I could have a little fun with. What parts do you think I should replace? What should I do to get this shooting its best?

About to purchase a springfield operator, and was wondering what my options are, and what it looks like from various angles. Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
