    That reminds me of the early days in computers where the only photos you could get were created through text characters. I'm talking 1984ish Apple IIc stuff. I'm still not seeing the gun in there though.

    I don't know if it has anything to do with that wall of stuff or not (I'm assuming it must), but this is the one and only page (not thread, just this page) on INGO that takes forever to open. Even when it does, it's wonky for several seconds afterward.

    That is pretty sweet! Is that a bit of grip tape along the frame? I use a bit of the rubber Talon grip tape on a couple of guns that could use a bit more grip.

    Added another Springfield to the stable. Thanks to Expat for letting one go. I promise to take good care of her :patriot:

    Now do I keep her stock or start a project?


    Looks good. I like to shoot mine for a while and eventually, the gun tells me what it needs. That's a really nice starting point and could work quite well as is.

    Mrs. VERT's first 1911. She liked her Walther PK380 but like most .380s it tended to be a bit picky about what brand of ammo it would run reliably. She moved up to an M&P Pro Series but it just did not agree with her. She shoots the 9mm 1911s very well and after a bit of soul searching decided to upgrade. We have to make sure this gun gets a few rounds through it before going on nightstand/purse duty. The 1911 in 9mm is a great choice for the ladies. Mrs. VERT has arthritis and the heavy gun has light recoil. Also the 12 pound recoil spring is easier for her to rack the slide.
