Firing a 1911 that is decdnt enough...The only one I can think I own that isnt custom or "performance cut" is a Turkish Tisas and even the trigger on that is somewhat smooth.
The Kimber, STI, Most Colts, S&W's, SIG's and other higher grade 1911's the trigger can be thought of 2-4mm of pull back with no pressure, then you feel it stage against a hard plate and with slightly more pressure on the trigger it fires, it feels like breaking a thin glass rod with your trigger finger. Its crisp, light, short and reliable and if you have fumbly fingers it may help with you aim. I know with pistols like my Sig P250 and Glocks its not as clean and short, its not as smooth and the break doesnt ever seem to mimic the last like a 1911's does.

A 1911 has one of the best triggers I have ever put my fingers on and not many other guns have ones as nicely done without some money dropped. You wont ever really need a trigger job unless you get into steel plate shoots or other events and have practiced at it for years...you wouldnt notice the difference unless your well acquainted to the pull and feel of it.

Next time he's in Lexington at buds I'm gonna go meet him. He seems like he's a really cool dude that's really smart but not condescending like some of the gun guys are.

Speaking of 1911's, this is the closest I have to the platform but it's a freakin sweet piece. It's my wife's primary gun, she shoots it dead on and it handles pretty slick.

Nice VZ Grips...The ones I ordered are very similar in color (Gerey Scaled) and pattern but have all the fingers cut on it. The EMP is a very nice carry gun.

You must of forgotten my first pic I posted in the other gun thread... (Its not a true Tokey but its a 22lr replica)
The Litter.jpg

I hope ATI/GSG make more replica's...I love sporting 22LR all weekend and not spending more then a $100, I have felt the need to pick up their MP40 and STG-44 replicas, they also make some very nice 1911's and cant forget the GSG-1911 that Sig went and bought up....

Yeah. We had a makeshift range set up in the desert with targets from 15-75 yards approx. I had a small mild steel pistol target @ around 25yards. One of my friends decided he was gonna bring his teenage nephews, who I never met before. Well, after safety briefing and explicitly explaining no rifle fire on my pistol target, he went ahead and popped it and sent a meaty piece of 7.62 combloc steel jacket into that hole on my lip. It was hot and sharp and I had no idea what hit me. Sumbitch was like a full 1x1cm piece of steel.

Good laugh though, since it was all with my employees, they forever got to say they shot their boss in the face.

Actually it's old school, Colt Pocket Pistol Model M 1903, .32 ACP. The Tokarev is a copy of it. Notice the grip safety, it only sticks out when the pistol is racked and cocked, precursor to the 1911 grip safety. This pistol has no exposed hammer.

I fondled the 45 and it was a little odd for my midsized hands. With some practice I'm sure it would have been fine. But the local prices are a little high. $519 for the 9mm $589 for the 45 and for a glock (17/19) 9mm was $619 almost shit myself in the poor guys store lmao

I actually got all mine off of Armslist from some older gentlemen who was selling most of his stock, All the Shields and the MP10 came out to a little under 1600 I believe...One of the best deals Ive gotten so far..
The Apex parts on them I was a Beta Tester for on the S&W forum for the SD9 series, If you get any S&W I highly recommend a Apex Trigger...makes them have a Glock like trigger pull.

If I EVER see one of these anywhere local or in the classifieds for my state I will jump on getting a loan...My dad owns this same 1911 and I have yet to see another for sale. They keep there value and are in the Wilson Combat/Nighthawk Price Ranges but you cant find these anymore...
Les Bear Boss .45 Custom (3-5 grand)
wm_6938752.jpg


The Attention to Detail, Craftsmanship, and Tolerances cannot be matched, and not to mention its in the color theme I love for the 1911's-Its the reason I checked into Kimber in the beginning..

I would get Front Slide cuts and a MSH/Magwell on it though...Most do have them already on it..

This is that Para Ordinance I mentioned before I wanted but its very rare to find:

With some Front Strap Checkering, Undercut Trigger, and a Magwell it would be a damn fine tool...I also like the Warthog they Make..

The semis are the banned ones. I believe we can still have regual pump short barrels iirc I saw one at acme sports in seymore indiana. But up that way bite the bullet is way friendlier to customers and is still a class 3 dealer

The 1908 is the last year the Pocket Pistol was made, so you are 100% correct.

My god damn VZ Grips that came in today were supposed to be Officer Sized Grips...They came in Fullsize, a half inch too long. Instead of waiting I think I mayu just cut them myself and re-drill for the bushings I have.
