Anyone ever broken the safety on their 1911?

[philbert001]

....but just so we're clear, I see your hatred for those 1911 that you deem sub par.

Good call!

 

[Caleb]

Good call!

imho, you grinding the back of a 1911 makes the area looked machines and unfinished.

I'm just going to buy a TRP and call it good….

Hopefully you didn't pay to have that done.! LOL

What's wrong with it?

Uh...What? That's why I also refinish them! Why would I blend the back, without refinishing...If that's what you were trying to say...

Your grammar insults me more than your opinion of my pistol!

It's not a Nighthawk, Ed Brown, Wilson Combat...

Now you got it.
My son has decided he wants to get another Para P-12 double stack. I sold all 3 of the Para's last summer and went single stack. Now to find one.

My dad bought a Para Carry 12 a few years ago, I'm not sure if he ever got it broken in, because we couldn't find ANYTHING it would eat more than 1 or 2 of before it would fail to feed or fail to eject. Being 3", I assume it was prone to the same cycling issues as any other compact 1911? (Even though it wasn't one)

Cabela's has a new STI that the safety wouldn't move on.

Mag sensitive. We had 2 officers and one full size. I had to really work the ramp on one of the officer models. Got it running reliably and sold it. Kept the P-12 alloy frame and the P-14 Limited until last year. The 14 was a serious shooter. The 12 ate well over 10K before I rebuilt it.
My son loved the double stacks for the grip width. I am thinking of posting a WTB for one.

I had to fix a Colt with the same issue.

I couldn't get onboard with the "Light double action" trigger in the carry 12, or I might have tried to talk him out of it! (Googled pics of the P-12. Single action, right?)

I had one of the double action hammerless for a short time. It was
I like the 1911 single action triggers. The P-12 was an alloy frame double stack 1911 clone.

Lol! I'm with ya! Put probably 9 factory loads through it, and for a fat girl, she sure didn't wanna eat!

 

[hps]

Church, I thk theres one on Armslist

 

[churchmouse]

Church, I thk theres one on GB.

I hate doing GB. I am spoiled from dealing in here for so long. Had a few nervous dealings on GB.
Might go take a look though.
