hey /k/ is this a good deal for a 1911?
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=551663009
This the 1911 general?
Anybody have experience with the SPS Pantera? Looking to get one in .40 as an entry-level 2011 Limited gun.
It's a decent deal considering it comes with the light/case/good mags, but it's not exceptional.
>>29516431
just interested. why would you get a 1911 in .40 when there is so many in .45 acp?
>>29516408
All things considered it is fair to both buyer and seller.
>>29516408
>buys $2000 1911
>puts $150 light on it
streamlights are totally legit, but surefires are definitely more durable. why cheap out on the light if you just bought one of the most gucci 1911's?
>>29516457
For competition. Limited requires a .40 bullet to make Major.
why is this 1911 so expensive?
>>29516531
Dan Wesson gucci shit. To be fair they are super nice, if you feel like a $2000 1911 is something you need in your life.
>>29516507
oh ok that makes sense.
>>29516492
that instant gratification tho
post 1911's
>>29516561
wow that a pretty sig.
>>29516561
I mean, I run a TLR1HL on my AR because I dont feel the need to spend $500 when $150 will do just as well unless I plan on submerging my light for a few hours.
>>29516561
>>29516630
the TLR will get the job done.
>>29516648
but muh nayvee seels.
I own a valor, decent price for the specialist; if you buy, get lots of 1911 food, they're hella nice shooters
who the fuck has that kinda money to dump on a 1911?
>not getting a glock
>>29516408
Looks like a good deal for all that stuff. Money orders are a turn off to me tho.
>>29516817
1911s have nice triggers. that's basically the reason to put up with their finickyness, and why USPSA/IPSC tends to be dominated by 1911-based designs.
>>29516817
>getting a glock
>>29516840
yea 1911's are pretty sweet range guns i guess.
>>29516886
>being a coltfag
>>29516840
>finickyness
Hooray, le 1911 unreliable meme again. Post evidence or gtfo
>>29516914
>being a colt fag
I love the look and feel of the 1911 but I hate the mag capacity. Are there any hi-cap 1911's that aren't fuckhuge? Like a double stack 9mm or something?
>>29516585
Just bought one of the ATI 1911s, got the "commander sized" model.
Worth the price to me so far, though I've only put 100 rounds through it at this point, hope to do about 200-300 tomorrow
>>29516914
i'm not saying they're unreliable once you get them tuned right. i'm saying they take a lot more work to keep running right. think of it as a classic car vs a modern honda civic.
i love 1911s. a 1911 was my first gun. a different 1911 is my favorite gun. but any new pistol doesn't need hand fitting, or somebody to tune the extractor, or a huge shit-flinging contest between Wilson, CMC, and Tripp Research to define who makes an acceptable 8 round mag.
Hilton Yam, a well-respected 1911 smith, active LEO, competition shooter, etc. has this to say about the 1911
http://www.10-8performance.com/pages/Choosing-a-1911-for-Duty-Use.html
it's a good gun. it just takes more dedication.
>>29516989
something like this?
>>29516989
Yeah there are.
>>29517076
>i love 1911s.
Then why did you post a 2011?
>>29516775
>who the fuck has that kinda money to dump on a 1911?
Someone with more expendable money than a poor fag like you. $2K is a small bucks in the 1911 custom world.
>>29517162
because >>29516989 asked about doublestack 9mm 1911s, and STI makes exactly what he's asking for.
also because i'm >>29516431 and i'm interested in 2011s.
>>29517149
thoughts on that vs the SPS vs saving shekels for a DVC?
>>29517076
>>29517149
Exactly what I'm looking for but way out of my price range.
>>29517247
Para USA makes some double stacks that are much cheaper, although they're nowhere near as nice as STIs.
My favorite carry 1911
>>29517205
I'd save up for the DVC, I got lucky with mine and the shop owner had to meet his end of year quota so he could remain an STI dealer, I was there looking at a Hi-Power and he offered to make me a deal for $1500.
>>29516408
I had a 1911 and shot it really well at the range but 8th or so round the slide locked back and it wouldn't fire until I put a fresh magazine in. Total deal breaker.
Anyway, Rock Island Armory for a deal. Rugers are nice though.
>>29517357
i'm mad jelly. do you shoot competition?
STI double stacks are sexy as fuck
>>29517405
>>29517405
agreed.
look how sexy this is. even though it's going to take all the skin from your hands.
LOOK AT IT.

I've wanted to, but because I move around a lot I haven't yet. I really want to get into it with a solid group of friends.
>>29516457
To piss off the purist at the range.
>>29516585
I know, I know, the P238 doesn't count.
>>29516492
Am I doing it right?
>>29516408
I'm looking at getting a Springfield Armory loaded model. Is there any other good 1911 out there for around or under $1000 that has these features? I guess I could spend slightly more but I really don't want to go much over that budget.
>slanted rear cocking serrations (with or without forward serrations
>Novak style night sights
>beavertail grip safety
>ring or skeleton hammer
>long trigger
>no rail

>>29517439
That is damn sexy.
Were I disgustingly rich the first of many in my 1911 collection would be an M1914...
>>29517510
Ruger SR1911 is close.
>>29517506

It doesn't get any more wrong than that.

>I know, I know, the P238 doesn't count.
It's okay, brother, you're welcome. Not like you're posting a Star or anything.
>>29517510
Sig has a few models that fit that description. I have a Sig Scorpion 1911 and I love it.
>>29517510
Ruger SR1911 Talo checks those boxes at an attractive price. At a higher price you can find NIB Sig and STIs that should fit the bill. Kimber looks like it would but they don't use Novak cuts.
IMO
>Sig slides are ugly, but they do make "classic" ones
>STI slides have the ugliest billboard, but are Texan so I like them despite it
I got a Ruger though, all American and all that, plus they just work. For the sub $1000 range I'd go Ruger or SA all day.

shit coffee, shit dip, mediocre guns, wrist watches. lol who uses those other than as metrosexual jewelry. fuckin every phone has a clock on it.
>>29517538
>>29517510
i think whenever someone suggests the ruger sr1911, a great gun imo, they should also suggest the thompson 1911. its a similar appointed and priced 1911. a great option to consider.
>>29516840
This is the only reason to own one. Not to say they're not good, I have a $2000 one myself. $2000 CAD, mind you.
>>29517676

Not him but is right on a few things. Kcups are just a step above freeze dried Taster's Choice. Dip is pretty much a sign you're white trash. A watch is fine if you're wearing formal, or semi-formal clothes. Impolite to keep pulling out a phone.
Got this yesterday
>>29517676
Why be salty about nothing? Worthless prick.
what's wrong with my 1911?
getting jams that look like this, usually the 3rd round. using a Wilson combat 8 round, but this similar one happened on the last round with an act mag.
the slide stop has been partially engaged, and this just makes no sense to me.
no, I don't ride the slide stop.
also, somehow while in use my Wilson mag got a little nick put in it on the outer case, where it swoops down to the slide stop. guessing somewhat related.
>>29521216
What company manufactured your 1911? Also what ammo are you using? As in weight and brand. Wilson Combat makes good mags overall but can have a lemon like any other company.
>>29521216
If it's a Rock Island there's your problem.
>>29521216
because your detent isn't holding your slide stop in place
get a new detent spring and detent, it puts pressure on your thumb safety as well as the slide stop slash takedown pin
>>29517676
>doesn't post guns, dip or coffee
>thinks watches are worthless because "muh phone muhfugga"
There's a reason no one takes millennial faggots seriously.

Can you get those in Canada?
>>29518029
>Dip is pretty much a sign you're white trash
False. Dip is for people who work through break but still want their nicotine.
>>29522717
Yes, because normal people love seeing people spit tobacco juice. Give it up. It's disgusting and people that dip tend to be disgusting.
>>29522717
>>29522737
One last thing, good job at being a drug addict that needs his "fix".

This is the white trash part, you dolt.

u wot m8
How do you guys feel about Colt 1991 A1?
My uncle is selling his for 450. The condition is pretty much pristine.
>>29522936
Nicotine is a drug. You're addicted to it. Therefore you are a drug addict. Not what you might want to hear but it is the truth.
>>29522949
The truth is uncomfortable for some people to accept.
>>29517247
I want this super bad it's sub 2k.
.38super rubs me in the right place.
Am I really the only one with a SR1911? Pic not mine
This is mine I love it to pieces and best part it was free.
>>29523035
Pretty much the same as a standard Government Model, just with the series 80 firing system. The Series 70 have an arguably better trigger, but it shouldn't be a noticeable difference unless you're trying to get trigger work done. For a pristine one for $450 though, it's a steal when you consider that it's around the price of a bare bones RIA or something.
>>29521668
230 grain, round nose fmj, reloads from laxammo
is a rock island.
>>29521712
how does that explain the round being half out of the magazine? I think the round is contacting the slide stop when it's that far forward
>>29521216
I see 2 different problems if this is exactly how it stopped.
1. The round has shifted forward uncontrolled. I would look at the magazine first.
2. The slide stop engaging during recoil. Bad detent spring. Bad detent. Bad slide stop. Bad technique. Loose round striking slide stop.
The magazine could be the culprit with both issues. So start with a new or known good mag.
Inspect the parts involved with this. Check the stop/detent interface. Is the detent putting solid pressure on the stop. Does the stop have a small bevel to help keep it in the lower position. With the slide off, look at the inside surface of the stop. Does it have brass marks on it? If so, the rounds are striking it.
If all else fails, have another experienced shooter watch you shoot, then have them try to duplicate the issue.
Sometimes it helps to use your left thumb to lock down your right thumb. Give it a try, it costs nothing.
Good luck
**** All advice is worth exactly what you paid for it ****
>Dan Wesson
Love mine, I got the Razorback 10mm and I friggin' love it!, its a dream to shoot. Very crisp 4lb trigger.
The tolerances are so tight you will have to put about 200 rounds through it before it will function 100%.
Picked up one of these in 10mm. Interesting fun gun.
>>29516408
Looking for a good, plain as fuck 1911 thats loose and will run well.
And that isnt shit tier quality
what are my options?

>>29529573
I used to have a gun like that. Loved it, but refused to carry it. I had to sell it.
The STI is a carry version, so I treat it as such.
>>29526340
Not him but bad detent makes some sense, although it would stand to reason that your safety is very loose as well and doesn't have a positive click. Plus you could pull the slide back and see how easy it is to manipulate the slide stop. If it just flounders up and down and doesn't snap down, then it could be a bad spring. You may also want to check your grip though, make sure you aren't somehow pushing up on the slide stop (yes, I've seen it)
With a case being stupid to extract you could have a wimpy extractor. Also an (almost as) easy test:
>Field strip
>Stuff a round (spent case if you like, a live round if you're not a pussy) under the extractor
>Round should hold against the breechface
>Should be easy enough to get in there and hold in well enough to not fall out on it's own, but maybe with some violent shaking of the slide
If it falls out easily, or is hard to get in (less likely if it's the case here) then your extractor is too weak or strong, respectively. You *could* take it to a gunsmith, or you could remove the extractor (Google it, it's stupid-easy) and bend it then re-try the test. If you need to bend it just put the extractor in half-way and bend to the left to tighten or to the right to loosen (if looking from rear of slide; the ideal position to be in when a gun is drawn).
Good luck friend.

Im looking to get one of those RIA high cap commanders, but i want to know if i should bother getting the railed version. I'm rarely out after dark when i carry, and i wouldnt use it for HD.
>>29530788
They had some problems 15 years ago, but you know how people like to never forget anything. They're quality now, and USA made.
>>29530334
>or you could remove the extractor (Google it, it's stupid-easy)
On which subject, the extractor and channel may just be filled with filth and need a good cleaning.
Also, since you're shooting reloads, buy a box of American Eagle and see if they function fine.

>>29531097
>try better ammo
not a bad idea. didn't have any issues when I was shooting win 1911.
will disassemble and take some pics. slide stop has no bevel, but has a mark on it where detent acts on it. safety is nice and crisp when clicked on and off.
My little family
>>29516886
How do you like the Operator?
pic related is slide stop and little divot in mag. it looks tiny, but it's enough to make it drag when inserting or ejecting. I can feel it scrape.
put a round in and checked for contact between rounds and slide stop, and none visible, even when moving rounds up and down.
round sits well above top of slide stop when pushed forwards.
grip I use puts right thing actually almost on mag eject, so no where near slide stop.
slide stop isn't loose, shaking gun up down does not cause it to move, barrel link is no where near tight enough to cause any motion in slide stop. it will stay where I put it, it won't drop down on it's own either.
>>29518645
the baer looks really good. I'm probably getting a monolith for my next purchase.
>>29531888
also try known good mag was what I was doing with the act mag, seeing if both did it, or just the Wilson.
the fact that if always seems to be the 3rd round seems to say mag issue
>>29531888
>>29532144

>>29532187

>>29532104
Not him, but I wouldn't get a Baer until he retools his shop. He's got the oldest machinery in the top line 1911 world and you can feel the difference between the old and new guns.
>>29532538
I haven't seen many old bears to compare mine to, but I think my hemi is a fine piece.
Fit and finish, while maybe isn't as pretty as a Wilson or nighthawk, is top notch.
What do you notice that is different about the newer ones?
>>29532104
I ordered a mono heavyweight on feb 2nd.
No front cocking serrations, blank slide, fixed sights, magwell. Going to be a long wait.
Pic is a similar one from Google.
>>29533724
Looks like garbo friend sorry
>>29530172
Why refused?
>>29526329
Thanks, I appreciate the info.
I have no previous experience with 1911s, so this will be my first one.
>>29533719
They just feel all around chintzier, especially the fit in the hands, and the working of the slide and safety. Noticeably inferior to a Wilson or Brown.
Though bear in mind that I have a sub 7000 sn gun from Hillsdale, so I'm comparing to a fairly old gun from when the tooling was pretty much new.
has anyone looked at a polymer 1911 yet?
something about the glocks I've shot, yeah they're lighter, but all the weight beeing in the slide makes them move a lot more, you can tell when the slide locks back because you don't feel the weight snap back forward.
how are the polymer ones?
>>29516431
.40 is kind of a joke round, id still suggest anything other than that.
