I have a Springfield 45, I used CCI snakeshot, and the end of the cartridge broke off and jammed in the chamber. looked like a wedding ring in the barrel. CCI sent me 2 cartridges as a replacement.
anyone having this problem?

Not sure why you would be running snake shot in a SA 45. The appropriate firearm for that would be the Taurus Judge or other arms chambered in .45 Long Colt.
I just joined and I'm a new owner of a 1911. I found that the information on what not to do to your 1911 was very informational as well as important. I'm somewhat of a collector and always wanted to own my on 1911 45.

Hey there. Welcome aboard. Enjoy your new pistol. I like 1911's, but have never owned one. Someday, though my list of "would likes" is pretty long, and not matched by my financial resources!

Welcome aboard read the post Talyn posted on cleaning your 1911 very good infro
I just tried to install a set of pachmeyer wrap around grips on my sa 35 and they will not work. Mags will not feed into the mag well and if will stick like a bitch if you try to force them. Not every part will interchange.
I am a big 1911 fan. I shoot a Springfield armory 1911 operator and several kimbers. EDC is a Sig M11-A1, a SA sa 35 BHP look alike, or a Sig 1911 carry in 45 acp. Love them all and interested in any feedback on these pistols or hearing about your own.

Welcome to the forum @grunt6971. The following thread was posted some time ago and continually gets added to by new 1911 owners and purchases. Feel free to explore and post pictures of your’s if so desired. And again welcome aboard.

Huge fan of 1911s myself. I have Springfield, Kimber, Auto Ordnance, Rock Island and Sig Sauer. I even have a Coonan in my collection now. 1911 style pistols in 22 LR, 22 WMR, 9mm, 10mm, 45 ACP and .357 Magnum. The ergonomics are fantastic and the reliability and accuracy are awesome. It is so much fun hitting a steel 10" target at 100 yards with my SA MCP Operator in 45 ACP.

1st of all, are you ok? What exactly happened? I mean circumstances? Apparently, it was catastrophic.
If that’s a SAI M1A? I would definitely get them involved

Don’t try and return anything to them. Watch their shipping charges!

I'm currently in a SOCOM build as a rebarrel for a family member.

The first 16 incher was in a homemade folding stock.

This current build wears a carbon fiber from BULA.

The carbon build has a 4-12. The EoTech on the 1st rifle was a hoot taking out some invading 2-liter root beers and cheapo shaving cream.

Y'all stay safe!

Life with those pistol grip stocks is so much better after you install an M14 EBR trigger shoe.

Just changed the battery on my Shield SMSc mounted on Hellcat. Battery was 18 months old. was a little dim but perfectly shootable. Am in process of installing a Apex trigger assembly. Apex shipped same day and I had it in 3 days, great service.
I am sold on optics for pistols. Great for old geezers with poorer sight. My Shield also has optic, Vortex Venom. Its battery only last 4to 6 months, but easy to change.
Looking for a factory barrel nut for my SA AR pistol. Cant seem to find one online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If you replace the 15 round base plate and spring with the 13 round base plate and spring you now have a reliable 17 round mag! +1 in the Pipe . 18 rounds in a Hellcat!!!

I have an XD in 45 ACP. The magazines hold 13 rounds, but I have a lot of difficulty getting a magazine to properly seat in the pistol with ammo in the magazine. Is anybody else having this issue? Is there anything can do to fix this?
