    Hello everyone. Does anybody know how to install a new fiber optic rod in this style of front sight? Only one end of the front sight is open for fiber optic insertion. Normally, I would just burn both ends of the rod with a soldering iron or lighter, leaving the middle sections of the rods...

    Just got a springfield garrison and the magazine won't insert unless I hold the mag release. I tried looking it up and some people say to use some force until it breaks in. Others say send it back to the company. What would you guys recommend?

    I found a Colt Combat Commander and bought it, not sure if I got a deal or what. I ran the SN through Colt's web page and it indicated that it is indeed a Combat Commander .45 manufactured in 1981.....I paid the guy $800. It shoots well, but I do not like the rear sight. It has a V notch, I...

    I'm looking at late series 70 Colt Combat Commander 45acp. Blue, mostly stock-red paint on the front sight, has a Pachmayr flat rubber coated mainspring housing, original wood grips with hex head screws, box/papers though the end of the box with all the details is missing. Appears as if it was...

    Hello community! Does this 1911 worth anything? Comes from a rancher.

    Well-Known Member I love my long slide and it is so much fun to shoot. The biggest issue is no holster option to throw on my heavy duty belt. Anyone know where to go? Anyone here make them for the long beast?

    Been trying to work this out for about 4 months, got caught up in the really fun 1911 scene, bought a bunch, sold a bunch. Have been lucky enough to have had a few really nice guns. Lots of fun. Now I want to get serious. Have been really wanting a custom 1911, willing to pay 2-4K, but want...

    Who makes a good quality teardrop safety? I have the Harrison retro and i am not crazy about it. Looking for something like the Colt part but maybe a little bit wider.

    Does anyone have a system to remove and install the barrel bushing ? I have a Kimber Stainless2, and this bushing is a real PITA!! The plastic wrench is just about to break. I’m sure if I remove it and replace it enough, it will get easier.

    My local gun store has a Colt MK IV S80 .45 acp they are selling on consignment. It's got a match barrel, trigger and action job, and custom wood grips with adjustable sights. Seems to be in really good shape. They're asking $620 for it. Anyone know about these mid 80's to 90's Colts? Is that...

    **UPDATE-thanks to my friendly neighborhood ffl dealer I'm getting a screaming deal on the RO Elite Operator 9mm. Eventhough I said I didn't want a rail I'd be a bigger fool than I'm usually accused of being if I said no LOL. He ordered one for another customer, that guy had to back out so I...
