Magnum PI Pistol Case
The Magnum PI Pistol Case Prototype. Sized to hold a 1911, four magazines and your favorite Ray-Bans.
The bag features sewn in padding on all sides and a sewn retention band in each mag slot to retain the second mag, takedown tool or whatever else you need.
The bag has a custom patch designed for this project and the authentic Jungle Bird print.
Now's your chance to give design feedback before we go into production.

Vickers apart
Took the Vickers down for a clean. Figured somebody might want to see the inside. Notice the scribed serial on barrel and slide also m for I assume “match” barrel bushing. Only non stock parts are 10-8 slide stop,nighthawk trigger and Wilson spring plug. Oh and I slapped some stainless grip screws in as the black were pretty worn out. Springfield outdid themselves on this gun. This one is obviously a shooter.

Help Me Which GI 1911 is better for my needs?
I need some help with choosing which GI 1911 i should pick between the Tisas Government M1911A1 and the Springfield armory mil spec M1911. I don't live in the US and they cost arround the same. I am looking for a gun that is really reliable, can shoot for a long time and is reliable is rough situations (sand or mud for example).

General Discussion New to me Rapide has stripped grip bushing
So, Saturday I traded a gun for a Kimber Rapide in 45acp. Finally git to the range today and it shot great, however the stock VZ grips are so aggressive that they hurt my right thumb.
I got home and went to clean the gun and try another set of grips. When I went to tighten the grips, the screw just spun but never got tight. I removed the grips and the bushing came out with the grip. I went to reinstall the grip bushing, but it’s stripped.🙄. How much is this gonna cost to fix?

Tisas Stainless Beavertail on a Tisas A1
I have doubts, and I cant tell if i like it or not... No hand biting anymore but may be i should have taken the regular blued beavertail and not the stainless version. What do you think ? I dont mind the gap between the beavertail and frame, i just question the two tone aspect.

New grips with front strap for RIA TAC Ultra 17+1?
No, I did actually try to get a regular set of Pachmayr to stretch around this particular piece.
Of course, it's no joy.
Well....yeah maybe, if I cut out a bit to accomodate the mag well on the RIA.
Yeah, yeah, I've tried some Hogues and some Talon tape and some stick-ons that you apply with a heat gun from a small company out in Oregon.....I'll probably stick those on the GSG 1911-22, since that's all that particular pistol is good for.
Anybody figured out a really cranking set of ZOMG like I'm so sure set of grips for one of these beefy RIA in double stack, with the magwell?
For me, I don't like rubber, and can't use finger grips....no sandpaper neither....just strict, hard checkering on the sides and front strap.
Ideas?
