  1. Get me one today just over seven and a couple Wilson mags. Il desasemble give the rail a light honing put a little synthetic oil on the rail and work it a hundred rounds before firing as i do with all my 1911s thats just me.

  2. Was looking at ronins for the longest, but something about the 2 tone I didn't like. But then i saw this Blue garrison and I was like, damn. I want this so bad, even though it's around the same price ish as the ronin. Like 50 less, but that color is insane, I love all around blue. The silver trigger too. I'm sold on it's still haven't actually shot a 1911 45 yet so I probably should before I buy one.

  3. I have the Ronin, and it's just a bit different in finish, color, and different rear sights, but otherwise the same. I'm pretty impressed with SA now. I used to work in a gun store, and back in the 1990s, SA sold a lot of crap 1911s. They were cheap and absolutely no fitting or machining to size. Slides were crushed fitted to the frame, bushings torqued in with a 4 foot cheater bar without any fitting the bushing lugs to the slide cutouts. We had sent a lot back to fix. Now, they are fitted, machined, and parts matching each other. I've been very happy with the Ronin. Got it to a local gunsmith and got an amazing 3.5-pound trigger job. Throated and ramped at the factory for hollowpoint feeding. I also replaced the recoil spring with a 17-pound recoil spring.

    Take a look at the grips. The low profile grips mean they use extra thin grips. The extra thin grip panels require extra thin grip bushing screws. You will need to replace them with regular grip bushing screws to use regular replacement grips if you desire. Otherwise, it won't fit right.

    No front checkering is a bit of a turn-off. I bought a pair of Pachmayr Diamond Pro low profile wrap around grips—after replacing the grip bushings so I have a non-slip.

    I also cerakoted the slide to be more weatherproofed should I carry it outdoors hiking or camping.

    If you look into Brownells, they sell spring plugs with a dimple that rotates and locks into the recoil spring tonorevent it flying off and shooting the plug into who knows where or into your face. Simple idea and worthy new part.

  4. I know the ruger sr1911 has the titanium firing pin for added drop safety, are these Garrisons safe in that respect? That's my only concern is drop safety. Thank you. I do like the nicer trigger though. What are your thoughts? THanks.

  5. That hot salt bluing is the reason I'm going to pick one of these bad boys up I said another video somewhere on here that hot salt Bluing his sold me to purchase this particular Springfield for the very reason I think the bluing looks better on a 1911 than the parkarising does now I'm a fan of parkerizing I have lots of parkerized pistols myself but the bluing just helps the lines angles and design of this shapely slab American icon pop.

    So I think more 1911 should have it as far as I'm concerned parkerized blued they both seem to wear at the same effective rates anyway and 1911's in blued finish are nice only thing I don't like about this pistol though I had to have a grievance with it I don't like ring hammers for the very reason as their durability and lifespan is just not as effective as a spur now Have I Ever Had A Hammer fail on me yet that's a big negative Ghost Rider.

    However I have seen a few examples where the ring Hammer has failed broken after years of reliable service it happens and to me the Hammer Down Speed is just not a beneficial trade-off for that durability of a Spur hammer but like I said only grievance and my shape of my hands my big old bear claws I don't think that extended beavertail helps me at all but I understand why it's there not everybody is as fortunate.

  6. When we were doing strange things in the '70s being where we're not supposed to be the 1911's had six to seven inch barrels full on a full frame some were 45 somewhere 9×21 like a 9 cig a magnum the extended barrel gave the extra velocity and we're usually threaded

  7. I love mine shoots great no issues. Very accurate. Keep it with me when I am out and about on the farm. It's only the second 1911 I have ever owned and it's one of my favorite.

  8. I gravitate towards Springfield because u get a quality gun for the price and most 1911 brands under a thousand dont give u a nicely polished feed ramp and foraged barrel frame and slide and good quality cast parts instead of cheap ass mim parts i have 3 SA guns 2 45s 10 no failures of any kind i hope the garrison will be a hot seller for SA love mine

  9. Your Kimber is gorgeous, but there's something about blued steel and wood that I gravitate towards.
    i might have missed it, but is this considered a Series 70 or Series 80?
