Just picked up my 9mm Valkyrie Commander today, and could not be more delighted with how it feels. I’m trying to do my research on the “do’s and dont’s” of 1911 ownership before taking it to the range. What should a Glock refugee know about picking up 1911’s?

I understand you shouldn’t let the hammer fall on a naked frame and how to avoid the “idiot scratch”. Any other tips or links would be much appreciated!

Thank you!

Buy good magazines.. 👍🇺🇸

Really helpful thread, I am also a newer 1911 addict and looking to not make too many mistakes. I had not realized that the Duty Coat required you use special cleaners to avoid damage. Luckily I think I already have some of the Kroil.

Best overall 1911 finish… HARD CHROME.. you’ll love the look..👍🇺🇸

Back when I was a young 1911 shooter.. 1911 was my first gun. Yup very first.. had to learn a lot.. started with Colonial Jeff Cooper book.. Principal of Defensive Shooting.. that was the big start for me.. so… 1911 books.. 👍🇺🇸
