Show off your 1911

I was just happy the picture doesn’t show the idiot mark on the RO, still can’t pop the slide stop in without using a tool/finger nail to depress the plunger tube even after 1k rounds. Of course I learned that lesson after my first time taking it down and cleaning it. Next up might be a mil-spec, was thinking of using it as a “practice” gun so I can try fitting parts and modifications on my own. Don’t want to use operator for that lol.

On my Spingers, I file a small round notch on the slide stop edge where it contacts the plunger on insertion. No more using something to push the plunger in…
( iirc, my Wilson already has that notch; it came that way ).
 
On my RO Operator, Kimber’s and Sig, the slide stop goes in smooth and easy, now on my 2 Colt pistols, they are real rough to put back in even if I try to depress the plunger tube tips, I think the last time I could get the one seated, I made up a few new swear words…….😵

The operator was no issue to pop slide stop in, already broke it down and cleaned it. I should of thought to file it, I will take a look and see what I have on hand. Now that I have a couple 1911’s and plan for more, I should buy some good files that are just for guns. Thanks for the tip.

If you got it line up correctly you would not need a tool

My new 1911 Emissary 45ACP what a beautiful gun and sweet smooth shooter, definitely two heavy to carry but with the TLR-2 HL I couldn’t find a holster for it anyway so it’s my nightstand gun.
I want to add the grip looks and IS very aggressive and I love it. The gun feels solid in my hand and completely controllable.

Frank 2041 and annihilator both nice pick ups. Still cant believe Ranfe officer line is no more.

That RAI has one of my personal favorite color concepts similar to colt m45a1 or Kimber desert Eagle. I am a big fan of brown and fde color concepts. Unfortunately not many production 1911 come that way. Good looking gun.
