    I've been collecting 1911's the last few years and had a gap in the compact or CS size in 45 in my collection. Well I bought two, A bit of back round there but lets focus on this P12 from Para. This used P12 was at Don's LGS, ran across it while picking up my S&W 4006. But now for back round...

    I have an original ww1 era 1911 I inherited from the family. I don’t remember the date but I checked once on a colt serial number check and it was pre 1919 production. I don’t know the last time it’s been shot (not in my lifetime I think). I’ve never fired it. I cleaned it up and found that...

    I have been working on this used RIA 1911 Ultra FS HC for about a month and finally got it where I want it. I came in the box and 3-14 round magazines, bushing tool, cleaning brush, and manual. My cost off gunbroker was $458. The previous owner either shot it in competition or shot enough to...
  4. Taurus 1911's
    I have a three-year-old Taurus 1911 that's had less than a 100 rounds put through And I just went outside and for some reason it won't fire now. I was using hollow points. I do not know where to begin to troubleshoot. I I pulled to slide back ejected around and let another one in And pulled the...
  5. The G-men: G2, G3, and Millennium Pistols
    The crazy heat finally broke today and couldn't waste a beautiful range day. 82, low humidity, and a north breeze..So it was time to bring out some recent purchases for some range time. Starting at the bottom, a new Taurus 856 snubby in the stainless finish. I have previously done a full...
  6. Taurus 1911's
    Saw another poster on another forum talking about their odd-caliber ria so i figured I'd take my .22 tcm 2011 for a walk. I had 5 new magazines and a set of hogue wraparounds to test out along with my now clean ejector that was previously too dirty to function. Filled each mag to 16 rounds twice...

    I've tried Brazilian 1911's, I've tried several Armscor/Rock Island 1911's from the Philippines, Owned a few Colts as well. So now it is time to look at a Turkish delight from Zig: The Tisas/Zig PCS1911 carry is a commander sized 45acp 1911 with quite a few upgrades from the factory. 4 1/4"...

    During my trading I came across a great price on an entry level 1911 made in the Philippines and imported by ATI. This Commander sized 1911 cost me $349. I had some concerns because of the name firepower xtreme and not having experience with ATI's imports. However this pistol has reviewed very...

    I'll start off saying there's some good news and bad news associated with my posting. I'll get straight to the bad news which is, the Wilson Combat Service Grade 1911 that this post is about doesn't belong to me. Now that I have that little nugget out of the way, onto the good news. My...

    I am trying to be an equal opportunity gun buyer as proven by my last several purchases. Turkish Tristar 20 GA semi, Back to USA for two fine Smith revolvers and a Mossberg 22, Then the Philippines For a TCM/9mm, Back to USA for a Sig, Then to the wacky rev Moon and his Kahr TP45, on to Germany...

    I have a NEW Kimber Rimfire Target Conversion Kit to convert any 1911 to 22 rimfire. This kit comes with box and 2 magazines. I have read where it is quite accurate (1.5" groups at 25 yards). I am selling for $299.00 and I will send it anywhere within lower 48. Have been trying to upload...

    Just came across a pistol I've always wanted to own, at a darn good price. So the Para goes on the block. This a very nice LTC; it has some holster wear, but it's never had any malfunction and it has all the popular bells and whistles. Beavertail with memory pad, extended/widened thumb...
  13. Taurus Suggestion Box
    Like the looks of a Sig-Sauer P938 but Taurus could mimic the same size specifications with an all SS gun; dehorned and melted for easy CCW use; and selected custom features from the PT1911 series. Note the external extractor on the P938; I suspect it is there for a very good reason but if the...

    Does anyone have any experience with this compact (3" barrel) 1911-type .45? I find myself drawn towards it, almost like a moth to a flame, but haven't been able to play with one yet. I like the compact CC-friendly size, the punch of .45 ACP, and of course the 1911 platform.
  15. Taurus 1911's
    Bought this beauty last month, took it to the range and fired around 200 rounds through it with no problems(i know 200 rounds is nothing but it felt pretty good). There's a little bit more of a kick because of the lightweight frame but its manageable. i also bought hornady 200gr jhp+p rounds...

    Hi everyone, We just finished taking the Eagle Customs Arrow based on the Taurus PT1911 to an outdoor range along with Chris Andal of Alamo Tactical in San Antonio, Texas. Initially we had planned to shoot the video with a camera capable of HD slow motion capture; however, due to a faulty...

    Hello everyone! I'd like to say how very proud I am to be a part of this community and to show off what I hope will be a great success - all inspired by my very first 1911 I ever owned - a Taurus PT1911AR. I had wanted to own a 1911 for a number of years, but a combination of things always...
