coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1872 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	I picked up a really nice Springfield 1911 at Tulsa Gun Show on Saturday. A guy said he needed some money for IRS and let it go very cheap. I've run 5 8 round magazines & 2 10 round magazines through it without a hitch.

So that's all I've shot through it so far. No jams, ejects every time, Shoots very sweet! _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!

RamKingJC Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/12/15 Posts: 3066	Springfield makes a great 1911 and that Remington is good clean ammo to just plink around with. Excellent pick up Coach! _________________________ James Caruso RKCC #CM008 rugermark2jc@gmail.com "First comes smiles, then lies. Last is gunfire."

Billy Poyner Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/25/11 Posts: 2132 Loc: Mississippi	Coach, Have you thought about changing out the main spring housing to a flat one.It'll get you deeper in the gun for a better grip. You picked up a nice shooter.Also might want to polish the feed ramp and inside the throat of the barrel. _________________________ Billy Poyner RKCC CM 021 RKS 5030 NRA Endowment Proud to have served my country 67-69

Wayne Dengler Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/01/17 Posts: 1559 Loc: Earth	Billy, Sounds like good advice but in my humble opinion,if it ain't broke,don't fix it. Originally the 1911 was made with a flat main spring housing but was changed to an arched one for better target acquisition. I guess that it is mainly a matter of choice as to what feels and works best for the individual. Wayne _________________________ Top Dog

coachblalock Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/03/16 Posts: 1872 Loc: Lake Fork, East Texas	I will be studying on what all to do with it. So, keep it coming. Right now, I’m thinking Crimson Trace grips and maybe a Beveled Magwell. _________________________ "Filet that fish? Hell naw!

Wayne Dengler Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/01/17 Posts: 1559 Loc: Earth	Coach, It sounds nice but remember what I said about when folks "customize" their cars,the last thing they put on it is a for sale sign!!! The grips sound like a good idea but again,in my opinion,you really don't need a beveled magwell. The piece operates pretty darn good as JMB designed it. Wayne _________________________ Top Dog

Byrdguy Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/20/05 Posts: 1676 Loc: FL Panhandle	Were it mine, and it functioned like it was supposed to, I'd just shoot it and enjoy it. It's a nice looking piece, and I really like those grips. Good score, Coach. _________________________ Pat Remele RKS#4413 SHAG# 8 RKCC# CM096 NRA Member
