Just looking for validation from stranger men on the internet. Just kidding l Just wiped these down and snapped a pic.🍻

If you're having a REALLY bad night, please dial 988 and hit option '1'.

If you want to IM, I've got ya, go to: Chat – Veterans Crisis Line

(Please don't let the 'crisis' moniker scare you off)- by all means you can crap talk the hell out of them but all that link will do is have you IM'ing a fellow Vet.

If you say the heck with calling or web browsing and just want to text and crap post that way, I've got ya there too, just text '838255' . Please feel free to share your experience of using that option of talking to a fellow Vet volunteering their time.

Not happy with the above options? Are you a combat vet (like myself) that doesn't want to talk to the same support network that the MOS's who stayed in the FOB/COB/whatever did? I've got your back too.

Call: +18669661020

That'll put you in touch with someone better... experienced with what might be bothering you.

Don't want to call anyone- I've still got your six, just go to: https://health.mil/Military-Health-...h-Center-of-Excellence/Real-Warriors-Campaign

That link will let you IM someone from the combat arms world so at least you'd be talking with someone that understands where you're coming from. 

I can post more links as I find them- dollars to doughnuts, this is going to be a rough week for our vets & I just want to help.

Bought a Rock island in 9mm it’s a nice shooter so far but I’ll be honest I didn’t think I’d dislike the disassembly as much as I do. It’s a fun gun but just having to get the slide alignment just perfect make sure my Spring cap doesn’t fly across the room like Tom and jerry on crack can be a bit annoying. Just curious if anyone else shares my opinion. I mean no disrespect to the great Saint John Moses browning but anyway hope y’all are having a good day or night.

Anyone running a Tisas Night Stalker SF 45? If so how do you like it?

1983 gold cup national match I have shot a lot. Thought about getting professionally redone. Any thoughts? Has about 15,000 rounds of Tula 45 acp through it,

Hello everyone I was wondering if yall can help me find a pachmayr medallion like the one in the picture I lost the other side at the range somehow thank yall in advance I appreciate the help

Ive recently found myself wanting a long 1911. Where can I find them relatively inexpensively? And would it be cheaper to buy the parts and build it myself? Ive found some on psa but I really want my pistol to be silver and I have not found an inexpensive options. Im looking for something sub 600.

Im looking to get a modern 1911 with pica-tinny and a threaded barrel what are some good options that aren’t over 1500

Hey I have a Springfield mil spec 5” I want to use it while hunting just as a backup and was wondering what you all have found for not to uncomfortable chest rigs.

I don’t see any info, I could have swore they make it where you can get 2?

I’ve posted it here before but I’ve made some changes. This gun has been so reliable and it’s a joy to shoot. Got a Harrison design ring hammer ignition kit in it, a 10-8 flat trigger, and some OG pachmayrs. Last thing is maybe a magwell but not sure yet. It’s a heavy guy but I love it.

I'm looking to find a rail adapter for a Para 1911 Elite Officer as a gift for a friend. I've done some searching, but I'm hoping to get recommendations or advice from anyone who has experience with this specific model. -What brands or models would you recommend? -Any tips on where to find a reliable rail adapter? Thanks in advance for your help!

While I like the old school walnut double diamond grips, the old school 1980s Pachmayr combat grips have always had a special place in my heart.

I learned from a 10-8 Performance facebook post that in the 80s and 90s, it was commonplace to carefully cut the frontstrap part of the grip out. Since the front strap on the Series 70 Limited is already checkered, this was a no-brainer.

I love how this looks and how it turned out.

Going for the Metal Gear Solid 4 Operator look.

Hi r/1911,

I recently purchased my first 1911 as I was looking for a new hobby. I’ve had a lot of fun shooting it but there is one issue with it that is still persisting after about 200 rounds. The slide won’t lock back in place after a shot about half the time so I end up having to give it a tiny push with my thumb. I keep it well oiled and clean so is it just not broken in yet? Has anyone experienced anything similar with RIA 1911s?

My 1911s so far

I've owned 1911s before and I have many other pistols I use for carry/competition. I'm moving to a state with a hard 10 round mag limit and I want to pick up a 1911 (or a couple) to compete/carry with. I was thinking of picking up a TRP but looking at the money it's tempting to pick up a Tisas and put the work in to make it exactly what I want. Bonus points for the fun of working on the pistol (picked up a trigger jig a few years back that's been sitting in the bag as well as a bin of 1911 parts.).

Anyone with experience putting lipstick on a pig want to share their experience?

Would you buy a Tisas for ~$400 and put $1,400 into it to make it a "Tisas Response Pistol."

Seen the Baer posting here.

I bought this about 7 years ago to shoot single stack in USPSA. A legacy .40S&W gun, which is the perfect caliber for major power factor iron sight divisions. Has about 60k rounds on it now. Brought it out to shoot single stack for several weeks during the off season. Shoots incredibly well. Hard chrome finish. Kensight Sharkskin grips, S&A magwell. 14 lbs ISMI recoil spring. These guns were sold with two slide stops, two guide rods, two rear sights, an extra sear spring, and two extractors. One lock-back and one non-lock back slide stop. One full weight and one light weight guide rod. One wide notch and one narrow notch rear sight. Pretty cool.

Everyone has been posting their Baers so jumping on the wagon. My premier ii, it’s my main handgun for comp and defense.
