Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 1911s?

That's a nice looking pistol.

Should ingwe see this thread he will vouch for that. She’s the best.

I really like the look of your holsters, Don. I have making holsters for a while, but mostly outside belt. After looking at these, I'm going to make a few ISWB for my Python and Detonics .45.

I like that knife also but have made mine cross draw so as to draw with either hand and carry at the 11:00 position.

love my ruger 9mm commander!

My fav carry gun is a colt LW commander...they always say not to do range plinking with them as you can wear out the aluminum feed ramp...I do shoot mine some but the feel and all is pretty much the same as a full size so I do all my practice with a steel frame gun...when I shoot the LW it shoots the same..of course they are set up with the same aftermarket parts...I did do a bob on the LW but it doesn't seem to hold or shoot any dif

In thirty years of looking, I've never found a 1911 with a lightweight frame that didn't bop me in the face with spent brass from time to time. I therefore no longer own a lightweight 1911 of any variety. But I have five all-steel 1911s, one of which (the Ed Brown Kobra Carry) is Combat Commander sized. The others are full, Government Model, sized. Never get bopped in the face with any of them. I'll stick with all-steel 1911s.

Hey I've got an all SS Colt Combat Commander that will chuck brass back at you from time to time...

Get it fixed.

Out of curiosity why didn't you get your lightwight frames fixed?

It was a trend, so I attributed it to lightweight frames. I've had many all steel frames, and never once had the problem.

I've tried, in fact I put a new extended ejector and extractor in it and it changed nothing.

I'd get rid of it, then. Every semi auto I've ever had that did that went down the road. What if it smacked you in the eye in the middle of a gun fight?

God forbid I ever get stuck with a 1911 in a gun fight.
