LGS is not sure if/when it will be coming. So was advised to buy one if I see it up there.

Then what do you do when the gun comes in?  You sell?  Or LGS says "no worries, we'll sell"? 

Or you keep BOTH!

Deposit can be refunded or used to buy another gun.

Went to a few LGS in vegas. Colts are MIA.

Looks like they dont want to make $. Cases full of all other brands, even smaller names like Shadow Systems (glock clones).

Gun shortage is over here, no empty cases.

What about the Springfield Operator?

Which should be the best flashlight to mount Rugar LCP II? I have checked for the Streamlight 69260 TLR-1 HL, Is there anyone who suggest me?

Ill indulge since im the OP.

In general, u can get what ever light u want. For me, i buy based on value, performance and holster (if im gonna carry it).

TLR 1 is my 1st WML of choice. U can get 2 of them for the price of 1 X300. But for the M45 holster I want (Safariland), they only work with the X300. So TLR1 is not an option for this gun.

Update and nothing. GB has a few, but for scalper prices. Used M45A1 for $2800.  At that price, I might as well spend a little more and get a NightHawk.

Now I'm debating if I should go the SIG Emperor Scorpion route. The issue is I would need a new holster.  A few months ago, my friends store in TX had 1 in.  Which since then, I  haven't seen any Colt 1911's at all in stores here, Vegas, or at my friends places in TX.

What I don't want is I end up getting the SIG and now the M45 is available again. Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Inb4 buy both.

Don’t buy both. . .

Buy three, or more.  Gonna need them when you have to send one back for tuning issues. . .

Update:

LGS's broker has 1 in stock. He needs to complete his order of X dollars worth of guns, which is almost complete.

I've been watching GB more and would have been able to bid and win for about $2400.  But there are still many going for $3K+, which is Night Hawk territory at that price.

Funny cause took a HRA skill builder last month and the only guy who had malfunctions was running a 1911. And that is a "S" at the end of malfunction.

Don't blame the gun.

what kind of 1911?

I've been shooting colt 45 autos for over 40 years.
Most malfunctions are ammo related.
Usually reloads.

Idk, but he was running wilson combat 10rdmags. So i was watching him so i get pointers if my 1911 comes in. Almost creeper watching intensity.

From the ammo to the mags, there are compatibility issues with some 1911s that are easy to correct by using another brand or version.

Also, many handguns no longer need much breaking-in beyond the first 100-200 rounds -- that's pretty much just a function test.  With certain 1911's, the fit is so tight, it takes 500-1000 rds to break it in properly.  That process ensures the metal-on-metal parts are properly worn and have the right amount of friction.

Knowing that. it's conceivable the malfunctions witnessed may have been the result of inadequate lubrication, too.

CMO, if you see the 1911 guy again, ask if he's still having malfunctions.  I bet over time, he's seeing them less frequently.  Also, ask if he's still using the same ammo.  Maybe recommend he try something else to test.

If he calls the manufacturer to ask about sending it in for testing and/or fixing, they will grill him on details of ammo and mags.  He'll need all the specs when he calls.  Once they have that, they will try to get him to experiment with other, recommended brands/specs.  It might be worth him calling just to get the recommended products from them.  It might at least eliminate his choices as the cause if problems persist.

Just thinking out loud.  As I said -- don't blame the gun -- at least not until you know it's the gun!   

I never used to see lubrication problems but just recently I encountered 2 people who had inadequate lubrication.
It just seemed like common sense to oil up your gun.
What happened to common sense?
