Bought a used Range Officer today

[youngolddude]

Stainless model with fiber optic front sight. No box or extra mags. Priced under $600. I'll pick it up when my license comes in a week or so. I was surprised a few days ago to find I was carrying an expired license. Oops. Looking forward to shooting it.

Dude, your avatar is creepier than the last one. It's like the hair sniffer pretending to be Mr. Rogers.

In .45ACP presumably. By any chance do you handload?
My reason for asking is that as a handloader of 40 years now & have or had a number of 1911's, the chamber dimensions seem quite a bit tighter than on Colts, Kimbers, even an old Star PD.
I find that it takes quite a bit of crimp to get them to chamber easily, determined by repeat "plunk" testing. So much so that a very soft brass, like some Aguila, will collapse and buckle when nothing else does.
I've owned it from new.

 

[youngolddude]

Yes, I reload. I use a case gauge and a bulge buster if any do not fully seat.

Not as creepy, those are rather big teeth. Maybe a Kennedy influence?

My wife would take issue if I married another. She's a good shot, too.
