So I started Criminal Minds recently (yes, I know, I have a lot of catching up to do, but I don't watch a lot of TV even streamed, mostly read books) but I noticed SSA David Rossi....has a Springfield Professional 1911 Operator! That is an amazing bit of attention to detail, as Rossi in the...
I'm personally not sure if I'd go in for a trigger job. Maybe I'll visit the idea in a few hundred rounds when the gun's loosened up a bit.
Very nice! Yeah, I'm diggin the vibe of the M17. Even the P365XL as a compact carry option. I've got very un-ladylike gigahands though so I'd need to...
I really like the P320. I want to get an M17 next probably, or the X Carry Legion, I don't know. Probably might depend on the deals and my LGS.
2. HOLY ****.. OK I'm jealous
DEFINITELY sounds like some forums I've been on. I don't do the forum thing much anymore. Guitars, cars/bikes, that kind of thing. Made some lifelong IRL friends that have been amazing though.
I'll be curious to see what the forum opinion is on the QC/reliability on the SA35 is. I really want a Browning HiPower but I don't want to track down an FN/original.
TBH feed ramp work and some slide/frame fitting are probably gonna be things I send the girl out to. Probably to WC. I haven't heard much about how the extractor is on the new/current Op but at least the port's beveled.
If you want to stay in the Hornaday family, check out their Critical Duty and Critical Defense JHP loads. They're pretty popular (along with Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot) with LEOs and they review very well in ballistic tests for barrier blindness and proper penetration without over-penetration.
Yeah, I'm planning on picking up a few of the WC mags, too. Figured, why not, they're good mags and will only add to the reliability. I ordered a big box of Remington UMC 230 hardball the other day and I'll probably pick up a couple of boxes of Blazer or Federal Syntech range ammo at my local...
Very cool! And thank you! I imagine your TRPs have served you well. I can't wait until my next range excursion so I can put a couple hundred rounds through it and feel the girl out.
Hi folks!
I just picked up my first Springfield Armory weapon this month, and it happens to be an Operator 1911,. It's always been a goal of mine to have a nice 1911 of my own, and I used to lust after the TRP and Professional 1911. Given I don't have the deep pockets for a Pro, I was really...
