I bought a box of Cor-Bon 230 gr. +P for my RIA tactical but they won't feed without jamming. Someone told me to replace the mag so I bought a Chip McCormick....
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...
For close quarters combat shooting, it doesn't seem to matter too much which rounds you shoot, as long as they are all in the same FPS and energy range. ...
Joseph: Can you describe the malfunction more specifically? Does the RIA always do the same thing with this ammo? Does the bullet not chamber at all? Is...
... the first time I racked the slide the shell went forward about a 1/4 inch then jammed. I locked the slide back, used my finger to push the shell back into...

I am about to purchase a Miami Classic shoulder rig for my full size 1911, but was wondering which is a better style to conceal a 1911, a rig that carries the...
Welcome to the world of shoulder! The Miami Classic is a great holster. I have a couple and have worn them for years. Be prepared to wear out the linings in...
Actually, Galco makes a vertical shoulder holster for the 1911, as seen here: http://www.galcogunleather.com/HolsterPG3.asp?ProductID=2834&GunID=157 They also...
If you have the chance, try both and see which works/feels best. I like horizontal my self. It frees up the elbow and doesn't bind up when I'm driving in the...
You guys never heard of a Bianchi? They make a vertical rig called the #X2000. It's a vertical clamshell type that fits under a vest let alone a coat. I wear...
My brother used a Miami Classic to carry a 1935 Hi Power and swore by it. As for a vertical shoulder the only one I ever used was a Biachi X15. It's a Clamp...
My brother was cleaning out his library and sent me a box of old gun magazines and sporting goods catalogs. While looking through one of the catalogs I came...
They're perfectly legal. For the reason that you are not just attaching a stock to the 1911. All the stock kits "replace" the slide and barrel, in essence...

Robert, the pin should have a dimple in one end of it and a head end. The dimpled end is the end you push against. The best tool for the job is a brass drift...
Hi, I just bought a S&W M1911 Pro 1 (so it says on the slide). I've put it's picture in the 'Files' section under 'EJBs sample of M1911s' or just hit 'Files'...

I don't need to worry while carrying my 1911, because I never carry cocked and locked. Just one in the pipe. But you're right it can be a bear to get it back...
