New purchase... SA Range Officer 1911

[fatty 241]

Just put down a deposit on this beauty at Caso's. Felt great in my hands and the slide to frame fit was amazingly tight and felt solid.

 

Now if only my PD will hurry the hell up and give me my permit...

 

Can't wait to break her in!

Very nice. Good luck with it!!

[BlueLineFish 615]

as a fellow RO owner. You will not be disappointed. The minute I held that gun I new I had to have it.

[fatty 241]

Yea it does feel good in the hands. To me it felt much better than the Sig 1911, which surprisingly had a very loose slide to frame fit.

[fatty 241]

also didn't want the full length guide rod that the 'loaded' model has from springfield. that thing looks like such a pain in the ass to disassemble for cleaning

Very nice! Best of luck with it and I hope it brings you many many hours of fun at the range!

Damn.. doesnt look like ill be enjoying this gun for a while... just met with the captain a few minutes ago and was told my permits wont be done for at least another month.

 

Apparently the PD is flooded with fid and permit applications for the first time since all this bullsh!t started.

Good luck and hope your permit comes in sooner than later. I was in the shop when you were looking at it the other day. I bought a few of the 15 round AR mags they have in stock.

 

Osc-

It is, my TRP has it. Thinking of swapping it out.

[Vlad G 345]

BTW, some full length guide rods are easier to switch then others. The simply solid one piece ones are actually pretty easy to deal with compared with some of the two piece and a paperclip types. I don't think it matters either way, for me the most important part is how you like the weight balance. If you have a bull barrel then it is different, those are a pain.

Ray,

 

Mine started giving me a little trouble as well. Loosening up after a couple hundred rounds. I replaced it with a Wilson one piece FLGR. Works great and easy to disassemble, just use the base of a mag to push down the plug.

[fatty 241]

do you guys see any benefit to the FLGR?

[Vlad G 345]

do you guys see any benefit to the FLGR?

 

Assuming a standard bushing barrel the only reason for me is balance. Adding some weight under the barrel via a FLGR can change how the gun recoils and personally I prefer that. Some people like the looks and that's fine too. There are no real negatives unless you talk to the folks that think they are going to rack the slide by pressing the plug against an object, a rather fine motor skill trick presumably pulled off while incapacitated or under fire. Some are harder to take down, but just don't buy those and you will be fine.
