Hi all Have a question. I just purchased a Kimber Custom II. I bought it for my son. He will turn 21 in Afghanistan and I want to give it to him as his 21st ...
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'...

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...
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...
Carry of a 1911 style pistol should be done in condition one or four. It seems that condition two would be more dangerous, you have to lower the hammer with a...
Agreed, Steve. The 1911 was designed to be carried in condition one. The only ADs (of which I've had two) I've ever had came early on with my pistol -- the ...
Look for the Galco Miami Classic, or the Jackass Rig. Excellent shoulder holsters and also carry a two magazine pack on the off side. Yeah, I agree, never...

There is a reason I carry in condition 3 and not 1 or 4. On condition 1, the Bianchi X2000 is very hard to draw from because of it's design (clam shell). I...

Waitin on my new Kimber Ultra Carry II, looking at Galco's SOB holster. I wear jeans 100% of the time, I ride a harley 98% of the time and the SOB holster...
I like the Galco for my Ultra Carry. Just make sure you have the next size of pants up from your normal waist line, even if it an outside holster. Jerry...
On a bike, I can definitely see the attraction of an SOB. I will give you the standard arguments against it and you can make up your own mind. First, should...
... I had a SOB for a Springfeild Ultra compact. I thought I'd like it,but it wasn't "all that". I like open top CCW holsters and I use a Don Hume IWB. I carry...
How do you get the safety on with the hammer at half cock? On all the 1911's I've ever handled including mine the safety won't go on unless the hammer is...
You have to remember that a Para LDA is not a 1911. It looks like one on the outside, but the mechanism is altogether different. LDA stands for "Light Double...
I've never understood the purpose of the half-cock notch on a 1911 pistol. On my Colt's to put the pistol in the half-cock mode from a fully decocked position...
1911 SemiAuto PistolsThe half-cock on the original Colt, Model of 1911 was a safety design. It was intended to prevent the weapon from "slam-firing" and...

Robert, Speaking to the M1911 only, on my 1911’s with the hammer at half-cock they cannot strike the primer and I believe (never verified) that if the hammer...
Hi Steve First, on the 'half cock'. On my series 80 Colt's, if I have them on half cock, gripped with the grip safety disengaged, my hammer falls. I have 4 ...
