442ndRCT Soldier's Forum

One of those puppies... should be at the store in a few days... then two weeks later I'll be able to take it home with me....

I've ordered my spare barrel for tapping and my mags and the proper grips, all heading to Mike's.

But Pacific Canvas and Leather was out of the holsters that I wanted, but they did have the magazine pouches. and I wanted to order one of their fleece-lined M1 cases to give them a try. But those are on backorder too. So in a month I should be notified that they have all of that and are sending it my way.

Guy at the store said they are in high opinion and this 1911 Fan Agrees:

Cost me $460 with taxes and fees.

I thought you had to mill out the slide's locking lugs to get it to work for blanks?

You grind off the locking lugs on the barrel. He ordered a spare barrel. Also we have to use the short blanks. Swanson ones will not work unless you open up the ejection port on the slide.

My 1911 works like a charm, thanks to Mayo and his handy work.

Got me a parkerized one that will be ready to pick up on the 2nd..
