sroc112

what other manufacturers grip safety would fit into this gun without requiring any gunsmithing? I

Because I would just prefer to go with what my original choice was

Single spot on the frame, long line on the slide.

I did break it down, and no debris in there. You can see scuffs on the inside of the frame where it is rubbing against the dust cover.

4) dont respond if you have an issue with the thread.

I have a previous thread started that asks about some early scuff marks on my new SR1911. I have been finding ALOT of mixed opinions on if this is normal or not, and I think the better way to really describe the issue is dust cover rubbing. If you do a google search of just that you will see photos of what I am referring to. I understand the logic of why this essentially happens, but do many people on here with 1911's find that this does in fact occur on a lot of models? Obviously I would exclude a Wilson Combat and others in that price range from having this occur as "normal".

Anyone notice any early wear or scuffs on the slide of their sr1911?

Pistols

Other than Hogue, who makes quality handgun grips and has a large selection?

Does it bother you how lose the trigger and grip safety are? The scratching on the slide is really what is bothering me, it's too new for that

Hmm ok ill try to clean it, and if it dont work i will email ruger. Not too happy with how wiggly the trigger and grip safety is on this gun. If i keep it, im considering swapping out with wilson combat parts

Now how would the seller in this case, me, know if the buyer bought another handgun within the last 30 days?

In 1911's that are finished in a black tone, is it pretty much guarenteed you will see some scratches pop up earlier and easier than say a more modern sig or glock, just based on how the slide moves on each shot? I shot mine once and already notice some marks in the finish appearing. The finish on this gun was part of the reason i bought it. However, based on where the slide moves in that section i feel its more common than not.

Is there a sticky or previous thread on this site on how to properly go about selling one of your own handguns? I am looking for all proper paper work, where to send, process, etc. everything needed to make sure that serial number is no longer in your name but now in the new owners name.

Cool, ill give it a couple hundred more rounds before i make my final say.

Thank you. The 1911 structure is going to take some getting used to for me. Overall it feels a bit flimbsy compared to my sig, which i love with all my heart. Bff <3

How do you like that Ruger? I just picked one up myself, full size 5 inch barrel. Was a bit off my first time shooting it. Heard lots of mixed reviews on Ruger semi autos/1911s around the range.

Thank you! It is a beautiful looking pistol but certainly different than my m11-a1 9mm that i am used to. Got alot of mixed feedback at the shop about ruger quality on a semi auto. So was curious what some people thiught on here

Just purchased today and out 100 rounds through it. Definitely going to take some getting used to as it is my first 1911 and my first .45. Was deciding on this or a Sig P227 fde in .45. Anyone else on here own a Ruger 1911? Pics to come.

Cool thanks. And yes, I did have the barrel removed while cleaning.

I recently bought a mossberg 590 from that store. I added a 6 shell side saddle, rail for the top, and also a rail mount for the shell barrel to mount a light. Found most on Amazon.

Is it common to not always be able to get all of it out?

Well I only ask because on their site I don't see any 590 barrels, just 500.

Beside caliber, what would be the main differences between these two models? I believe the 227!carry and the regular P229 intron are the same length, but looks like possibly the fit and dimensions of the handle/grip are different.
