yep nice gun that place is a dump tho

Call Remington up explain the problem and see if they will pay the shipping.

Most of the 1911's today are mass produced from piles of parts. This includes Kimber "Custom" stamped on the gun is pure marketing. Just another pile of parts gun. Start with building the gun from piles of parts run some safety checks test fire and ship. Where is there custom smithing done? The Pro Series whether revolver or pistol go through the same process. This is: Parts that are changed from stock are built by specifications dictated by the PC dept All parts are delivered to the regular production line from the PC dept Gun is assembled and test fired by the regular production line Then it is sent to the PC smith to check and fix what they think needs fixing. Including stoning sears, hammers or adjusting frame to slide fit. The PC smith then tests fires the gun and makes any further adjustments. They don't ship the gun until they are satisfied. These are the same smiths that work on the Team S&W guns. This is a big difference in quality from a pile O' parts gun. I know understand what bank vault tight means and the rails feel like glass ball bearings.

I have sold many a Pro Series just by letting people shoot htem. The 9MM 1911 is the last I will ever give up.

Ray Ray Ruger and Taurus still don't make a gun of the same quality of a Smith.

Driving is a privilege not a right so they can ask you. Let's be honest the DMV check points are all about revenue. On Rt 206 in Montgomery they run the DMV stop at least once a month.

Nick good point about the external hammer. As far a price the Smith is an all steel gun not some new techno-tactical polymer with steel inserts. I prefer the 317 Kit gun. Standard 317 w 3" barrel and a fiber optic front sight.

S&W has been making a version for years the 317 http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764924_-1_757768_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y

J frame S&W

Nice wife any chance she will be single soon?

Mike if you want to use the 617 for steel http://www.revolversupply.com/documents/speed_loaders.html

The CCI 15-22 round was developed for the S&W 15-22.

Congrat's Anastasia

This video is done by Jim Scoutten and shows how the factory produces the Pro Series line.

I was one of the first to buy one and love it. Maks shot mine once and bought one.

Dan above your limit but worth it is the S&W 1911 Pro Series 9MM.

The Potter against Hale scene was great.

Charter Arms?

Numbers seemed pretty close thru Mak's chrono.

After reading Ray Ray's thread he wanted to be prepared.

Tim I will give you $20

It must be effective the Israeli's have always used this round for discreet work. Which means it had to incapacitate quickly. So I would say yes at close range and multiple shots. The 22lr round has a tendency to bounce around like a pinball. Not leaving a wide path but a longer path and all that is needed is nicking an organ or artery.

I like to watch.

What's a hood release? :fugg:

Because the Pro Series 686 is a fine piece.
