I sent an email to Customer Service in Geneseo and got just the message I was hoping for. I'll be sending them my slide tomorrow. Very fast and friendly communications. :giggle:

I know. It's been several years.

Yet another example of God smiling on the work of John Moses Browning. :giggle:

The 1911s are produced at Geneseo.

"God" does not imply any particular religion.

Oh, LANDON. I thought you said BRANDON. :LOL:

Baloney. "Separation of Church and State" only means to imply that there is to be no "national church" (e.g., the Church of England, the Church of Germany (which is Lutheran), etc.

Has anyone had dealings with the Springfield Custom Shop? I'm not sure just what services they offer. I've got a new 1911 Garrison and am wondering if they would be willing to install the same fiber optic front sight as comes on the 1911 Ronin.

REAL race cars don't have fenders. 😉

You have had problems with breakage? Hadn't thought about that. The only FO sight which I currently have is a Novak, which really has good support around the rod.

I want to put a Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight on my 1911 Garrison. As near as I can tell, the slide has a cut .330" wide at the bottom and the factory blade is .180" x .125". Is this the sight I would want? I plan to put on my big-boy pants and try to install it myself. 🙏

Yeah. And look at the prices! o_O

As a Hoosier neighbor, I have always felt sorry for "down state" Illini. Most people automatically associate Illinois with Chicagoland. Very sad. (Indiana, BTW, is also like two different states, with the dividing line being US-40.)

I would think so. Near as I can tell, it's meant to give the extractor enough room to catch the rim on the cartridge case.

One thing about which I'm pretty sure is that old JMB didn't do anything just for $#!*$ and grins. He had something in mind. ;)

The gun Gods want things to be confusing. With a pistol, the length includes the chamber. With a revolver, the length is only the barrel itself (muzzle to forcing cone) and not the chambers. They're part of the cylinder.

Same-same new car models.

There are other guns which I may like, but the 1911 platform will always be the one I love!

Looks like a lot more recoil than the S&W 629.

All I can say is that I could hit a gnat in the ass with the M14. With the M16 I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn - from inside the barn! And I hate to think what would have happened if a guy tried to administer a vertical butt stroke with an M16. o_O
