Jason, For the standard frame 1911 Kimber, I have never found the parts to be any different than any other 1911 styled pistol. Mine is absolutely dependable, I...
Thats great! I was reading somewhere about an added feature or an upgrade in the lockwork. If I stumble across the artical I will post it so you can get a...
As far as I'm concerned, it's a solution for a non existent problem, just like the firing pin block on Colt 1991's. Prevents the ad in case the pistol is...
Here ya go: "Avoid any gun with the “Schwartz” safety like the plague. This includes any S&W or Kimber Series “II” 1911 pistol. There is a reason why...
Thank you for the information. Now verified, it is for sale Jim I think it is. Is it a National Match Gold Cup 70's series? 70N74365# 70 is the year and N is...

I recently brought my Series 80 lightweight Gov't Model to a local gun smith for a ramp & throat job. She said that she didn't do one because someone else...

Call Colt and send the gun back to them. They are wonderful about repairs and fixing 'mistakes'. Frankly, I'd go to another gunsmith for a 2nd opinion. But if...
Anyone out there have an opinion on the Corbon 165 and 185 gr +P loads. They have huge hollow points and are fast. My thoughts were that for in-home...
I bought a Colt Officer's made in the 80's in 2003. It had the series 80 safeties taken off. It had a bad barrel and other things. I sent it to them with a...

I live in Illinois, and my gunsmith wanted $68.00 for a ramp/throat job. I have a Colt Combat Commander Series 80. I was told by the gunsmith ( and several...
I use Magsafe ammo for the home. It feeds like hardball and is reliable, breaks apart on hard surfaces and is 'devastating' on soft tissue. I have seen their...
Hi Robert, MagSafe is great stuff but very expensive so it limits training/practice with it. As the sages say about self-defense shooting the number one thing...
I am like Robert, MagSafe Ammo is for close quarters type of shooting, In my concealed carry I use Hydra-Shok. As far as the feeding issue, I would take that...
