After scouring the internet, trolling most forums and frequenting gunbroker every day, I finally found one. I am now the owner of a RIA 2011 9mm Hicap. I can't say when RIA will release them in mass quantities cause they were featured way back when for 2012 shot show and I have known of 4-5 that...

Hey guys, Just thought I'd post up for the financially under-priveleged. Gunbroker has 2 2011 Rock Island Hi-Cap .45's left ending this week. These are a very rare find, (I know cause I've been looking) so somebody jump on them. Originally 4 posted and 1st one closed out at around $1200. The...

I've been busy the last few months with perfecting my DW Guardian and finally, I think it's finished. I truly know what it means when they say there is no such thing as a drop-in 1911 aftermarket part. Ambi safety alone was a big PIA. Added: EB Tac SS ambi safety WC SS slide stop WC SS mag...

Right before X-Mas, I was looking for a durable carry case as a present for my Dad who just bought an Olympic Arms westerner. I walked into the shop and there it was, the 1911 of my dreams. A TRP Operator full rail slightly used for $1199. :eek: But as luck would have it, I wasn't even close to...

Hi guys, I own a Dan Wesson Guardian and fitted an Ed Brown tactical stainless ambi safety to it and works like a charm. The next issue I'm having is that the left side of the ambi safety is thick and protrudes which stabs into the webbing of my left hand. What can I use to grind down and...

Anyone seen or heard of a single action Beretta full size inox? Think it might be called a CB or Combat I was at a local gun show recently and saw what I thought was a nice Taurus copy because of the frame mounted safety. Upon closer inspection I found it to be a real Beretta with a price tag...

Happened to google "Taurus 9mm rail" and pics started popping up so that got me thinking so I called Taurus CS for Sh#%@ & Giggles and inquired on a 1911 9mm with a rail. The lady at first said she hadn't heard of one in production and didn't see one on the website. Then she looked in her...

Looking at all 1911's with integrated rail on dust cover. So far here's my list Sig Sauer Gsr 1911 w/ rail .45 Sig Sauer Tac Ops .45 Sig Sauer 1911 nitron rail .45 Sig Sauer 1911 stainless rail .45 Springfield Arms operator .45 STI duty One 9mm, .40, .45 Para 14-45 anniversary .45 Para Ltc...

I can't seem to find very many hicap 9mm 1911's. The ones I know about about are the Para 18-9 Limited and many STI 1911's like the eagle 5.0, VIP, and Tactical. I'd like the barrel about 5" but wont go lower than 4". I know 9mm in a 1911 is already blasphemy but I like the look of an...

A shop I went to over the weekend had the most STI 1911's I had ever seen!! I especially was impressed by the safety feature of the Ranger III and how you can carry cocked & locked hammer down and when ur ready to fire, flick the safety down and the hammer springs back ready. After doing some...

I was reading an issue of guns & ammo and saw an ad for the STI GP5/6 and noticed that it said "now in DAO". Talked with STI today and they confirmed that they are selling them now with the DAO option and that they did away with the GP6C. I checked and it has been pulled from their website...

In the market for home defense and was doing some research on line. I'm a lefty and had it instilled in me from an early age of safety first so I'm looking for a polymer frame pistol w/ rail with as much ambidextrous options as possible. So far I have narrowed it down to STI GP6C, FNX .40, CZ...

Finally got my carry 9 back from Para and wanted to add a magwell to it to extend the grip a 1/4". I bought the blued Wilson universal magwell with the grip screw hooks. It was a SOB to install but managed to cut and grind it with a dremel tool and it turned out rather nice IMO. You can see...
