Lube it kook. . . 

On the mag thing, I've had grip panels that did not allow mags on my CZ SP-01 to not drop free.  While not a 1911, I've read folks have the same issue on 1911s.  The OEM grip panels on my SP-01 didn't let the newer Mecgar mags seat properly.

I will have to test the Wilson's that I purchased.  The OEM one dropped fine.  I got 5 Wilson 10rders. I hope they work. If not, back to the drawing board.

I dremeled down a groove for slide release access on my Sig Scorpion.
Colt no problem.
Grip sizes are different.

Feel like I shoulda bought a Springfield when I bought the Sig. oh well.

Shot friends CZ .45 for first time this weekend.
Accurate as heck. And pleasant like steel framed 1911.

But not a 1911.

If I didn't already have my Loaded Long Beach Operator, I would look into this Vickers Tactical model.  price is not bad 1495.  for what you get I think it is a bargain.  the Vickers is still a Loaded Operator but with more accessories on it than my gun
I would even choose this over the TRP Operator bc I prefer the GI recoil system over the full length guide rod, but that's just my opinion.  but the TRP isn't much more than the Vickers, only 200-300 more
the Vickers model has more modern accessories and is cheaper too

If I were in the market for a 1911 in .45 ACP, def be interested in SA, particularly the Loaded and TRP. 

Got to have Mrs. CMO intersted in W/C.

Mrs. CMO's like "well you spend $2700 on your, so that means mine can but up to that as well". The TRP caught her eye too.  TBH, I think she's gonna buy grips first if anything and then the gun to match.

that's too fancy for me.  that's like getting a Ferrari, but I'm a Ford guy.   
that WC is a good looking 1911

What are your thoughts about the screws on the grips?

not sure I'm understanding you question correctly
I have flathead screws, torx, hex wrench.  for looks I like the torx or the hex wrench.  but all of them stay in place.  1 time they started to come loose but i just tightened it up and its good now. blue locktite is a good idea
I also have these little O-ring things between the screw and the grip that acts like a washer on a couple of my 1911's.  I think they help with the tightening of the screws and helps so you don't crack the grips when you tighten the screws

I look at like blue loctite as plumbers tape.

No fawkin’ way she get’s a $2500 1911. (She’ll be super offended by me saying that)
She can shoot yours for shits and giggles and brag about how hers shoots better. 
Way equivalent options for way less.

Set some reasonable goals.  Like both of you enter competitions (like MPPL) and set some terms.  Maybe that will help her to focus/channel energies to improving, vice wanting a shiny new gun that shoots in to the dirt. . .

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever get a W/C 1911.  I mean I'd want one, but can't really justify spending that kind of money, at least right now with my centerfire and .22 lr rabbit holes. . .

I say that and I was seriously looking at the Agency Arms Ronin edition Glock 17.  They were released end of last week.  I saw them in stock at a few places.  Told myself to give it some thought, but they sold out quickly, so no decision needed.

We'll be waiting until 2023 to hear the end of this one. . .

You got it.  I like the O ring thing because although I have no plan to change my grips, I don't want to have to apply heat to them. But of the 2, I do have blue loc already. I think I will run them until they walk out, then loctite them in after.

His new 9mm looks cool. But then I saw the price and whoa.

hmmm...new thread or highjack my OG one?

I was wanting to try an Agency Arms, as well as stick with either a 17 or 34.  Seems like most versions available from retailers at 19 or 45.  So when I saw a 17 version with many of the features I would want anyways, I was seriously interested.  Will likely just stick with my Salient 19s though.

Might as well keep this one alive.

Still want a picture though.

Disappointed by the lack of pics.

Hopefully soon...

No pics to post yet, tomorrows the day.  I met a guy who's PTA was emailed to him at 11am the day it was supposed to be ready.  This was 2 weeks ago. DCT doesn't open till 4pm. So even if mine isn't emailed, I can always walk into HPD due to the extended hours tomorrow.

I didn't take pics when I fondled because I wanted to edge.

The unicorn has been caught.
