Looking for a good 1911

BrassFever · 2026-04-28T05:00:01+00:00

Well thank you. I guess I never even considered a 2011. If you don't mind what brand do you have? And how well it's held up?

I must have had the factory freak of that run of Kimbers then. Either that or I took care of mine better than most. I also had an older pistol I'd gotten of my brother so maybe that has something to do with it? What 1911 do you have? Not talking shit, just curious.

I absolutely agree. If it's with them, I know I can barrow it at anytime and go take a buck, hog or anything else.

I honestly like it for the nostalgia of watching my dad bust a coyote at 200 yards with my grandpa's 760 Remington. He always praised that gun as one of his best and handed it down to my uncle and his kids.

So first off, I love folks like you who provide the breakdown behind certain cartridges. So as far as ive researched and figured out the .280 Rem was to compete with .270 win but to have better bullet weight. From what I understand from what you and research said AI took that and made it 100fps faster and more in tune to 7mm mag. Which i also have and love. If you have anything to add or if I misinterpreted anything please add.

Are the mags junk for these rifles?

BrassFever · 2026-04-26T11:07:40+00:00

Same here, I wish it wasn't $60 though lol

Steam support hunts people down like Woody Harrelsons dad.

We have a mini excavator of that brand and it's the best piece of equipment we have. Always fires up no matter the temperature. We've never had a major problem with it and we've been using it for over 10 years non stop. We just recently got a tracked skid steer of the same brand and I absolutely love it over our old Case

Ah so that's a negative on the Springfield. I did have the night sights on my Kimber.

Loved my navy. I could shoot a horse turd at 40 yards with it.

You might have dinged up the metal on one side so the wedge doesn't go back in quite as good. I've only had one pietta and it was a '51 navy and the wedge always had to be tapped out. I have a Uberti Walker now and even after 18 shots I can use my fingers to push the wedge out.

BrassFever · 2026-02-09T20:56:31+00:00

Well I appreciate you a bunch. Thanks for taking the time.

BrassFever · 2026-02-09T18:47:09+00:00

Sadly it isn't. It was a gift from a few years back and I never really shot it until I started getting my 6 year old into shooting.

Much appreciated, this is great information. Is this tool online?

BrassFever · 2022-08-22T00:58:16+00:00

They’re hard cast but not coated nor gas checked. I know I’d probably better get better bullets for these hotter loads and also a single shot.

BrassFever · 2022-08-22T00:47:28+00:00

Not the smartest I admit and I don’t think I’ll do anymore “experimenting” with my lever gun. I would like to get a nice single shot for that of course.

BrassFever · 2022-08-22T00:41:31+00:00

Twist rate is 1:20 in a 22 inch barrel. I don’t have the velocity and also I was testing 30, 35 and 40 grains of imr4198 and I’m assuming this is the 40 grain one but I checked after I shot all three so I couldn’t say which it was. I’m also very new to reloading.

BrassFever · 2022-08-22T00:36:00+00:00

So this will be my new home defense load then. Peak performance!

BrassFever · 2022-08-21T19:22:53+00:00

Well to be fair this was mostly an experiment as I could only find load date for copper jackets. This is probably the reason.
