Recommend you get to 1000 rounds, or at least 200 rounds straight with no malfunctions. . .  8)

Mostly joking, but I still think you should.  Otherwise your OCD will bother you. . .  ;D

Good that you shot the P10C right after well after shooting the 1911.  It's can take me a little bit when I had been shooting say my Shadow, then shoot a Glock, and vice versa.

Thanks for letting me help test your gun.  It's a nice shooting gun.  Even with all of the rust on my pistol shooting.  Always fun shoot a nice 1911, especially with #freeammo  :geekdanc:

Had a guy with a 1911 Girad or what ever it's called. He was having jams left and right.  All failure to feed as his slide was like 1 inch back after releasing it and firing.

Couple pages back, the discussion was bushing wrenches for 1911 pistols................

I got 3 types of bushing wrenches which I use:

Real Avid has their gray and red bushing wrench which works real well.

Alchemy Custom used to make these bushing wrenches that look like pistol grips (in 9mm and 45acp) and I use these when cleaning my 1911s.
You really have to try them to see how easy it is.

Perry Competition used to make this tool, but I don't see it any more.............

All of these are configured to fit the 1911 bushing and depresses the spring, real easy to use (but hard to explain in writing).

The easiest one is the wooden Alchemy Custom bushing tool.

Luckily, i didnt need 1. But vids of nighthawk did pop up on my YT. Wayyyyyyyy over my budget.

Then a vid of Zevs Craighead, mrs.cmo likes it. But $2222 is a tough one.

Well, I did recommend a Wilson Combat .45 ACP ...

What brand of ammo are you using?

Maybe it’s the Indian and not the bow?
No one is coming, it’s up to us.

Legislation should never be about depriving law abiding citizens of something, but rather taking those things away from criminals.

For the M45, they did have Gun Broker bids that started at $0.01.

You should bid on some.  Maybe folks are focused on buying micro and sub-compact pistols.

That's the other topic I was gonna start. For now, I think I would just carry Smith and Wesson M&P9C. Until I figure out what I want. I'm leaning toward the G43X or Shield Plus.

Took a HRA SB this weekend and ran her, no issues. Shot about 50 rds and then more in the open shoot. So far about 300 rds without cleaning, just oiling. No jams.

So what is the verdict?
You ran about 100 magazines through the gun, right?
Do you like the 1911 platform?

I like it. Now I can see what people talk about when referring to the accuracy. It's a good gun, but the holy humbug I can see is the maintenance. It's a different technology which requires more cleaning and lubing.  Would this specific issue stop me from using it as a carry gun, no. I would carry this, as I trust it will go bang when needing to. But there are better options.

The reason for better options are, lighter gun, cheaper because if it gets confiscated (expensive), smaller gun.  And once HI's mag ban gets changed, I would want something with more than 10rds.

I've taken a few skill builders with her and enjoy the way it shoots. Plus it's something different. Not the same gun that everyone has. 

The shitty part is the price I paid for this, but I wanted what I want.  But glad I got her. Buy once cry once. Had I gone the SIG Scorpion route, I may have been not as happy. Def not as happy if I got any other 1911 model.

I wouldn't carry my full size 1911 either. Too heavy.
