    Redhawk 4 inch-remove grips

    I'm trying to disassemble my Redhawk for the first time. The manual shows that you remove the grips by taking a screw from the sideplates. On these grips(Hogue), there is no side plate and/or screw.It looks as if they have to be spread and then slid off the frame. I certainly don't want to do...

    Dreaming??????

    Perhaps I was dreaming last night when I responded to the idiot that said his kid was breaking into his gun safe and killing animals. I don't see his thread on the forum and I don't see the responses that were there last night. Perhaps he just flew away(I HOPE SO) Mickey

    buffers on 1911's

    I have two Kimbers, a Wilson Combat and a Les Baer. The only giun that came with a recoil buffer was the Les Baer. WHY, OR WHY NOT HAVE THEM????? If they save parts, why not use them in every gun? Thanks. Mickey

    Sights for Wilson Combat

    Does anyone have information on aftermarket sights for my Wilson Combat CQB, full size. I would like to get just plain three dot sights, non adjustable and not night sights. I checked Novak, and they only offer night sights. I have also posted this on another web site. Thanks. MIckey

    Ultra carry aftermarket magazine

    I read in this forum, something about the original magazine of the Kimber Ultra Cary marking the aluminum frame, and there were some magazines on the market the would correct that problem.

    Leo's On 1911 Carry, Please

    I would like to hear from any or all LEO's who carry any form of 1911. Do you carry hammer down on a loaded chamber, or cocked and locked? What does your training manual or schooling teach you on that? I carry mine hammer down, but it seems that in a panic situation, you'd be better off clicking...

    Kimber "testing" day

    Having seen so many reports of Kimbers that were very finicky about what you feed them, I decided to try to make mine malfunction. The two Kimbers were, #1-Grand Raptor II with about 100 rounds through it. #2 was an Ultra carry II(from WildAlaska). That gun had less than 50 through it. I started...

    I'd like to hear from someone who has both, or has had both. My next 1911 will either be a Kimber Gold Match or a Sig Revolution STX. I would like a legitimate comparison. Not from someone who has heard that this and that, but from actual owners. I have two Kimbers now, and like them. No...

    9MM short???

    A friend of mine says he has a Beretta and on the barrell it says "9mm short". I have not seen the gun, and he's not really into guns, so he could be mistaken. I'm interested in it, but have never heard of that bullet! Any help out there? Mickey
