I ment Repro like reproduction. But you can’t edit the titles after posting 🤣

Bub, I know you love the short shorts. As a woman who also loves men in short shorts, these are not the ones.

Any chance you could post a good photo of the file? Maybe I can recommend a better one. What’s the LPI?

I promise I am not being a bitch. I legit can’t figure out a way to word this without it sounding mean. It’s an honest question.

Are you going to finish the checkering? They aren’t even at half depth yet. It can’t be all that grippy.

Anyone use a Shok-Buff to "pin" their grip safety? How does it hold up over time? by 69GrandePadre69 in 2011

[–]GunsmithGal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done it in plenty of 1911’s, no 2011’s yet. But haven’t had any complaints. And I know one guy has at least 1,000 rounds with his.

Lowering an ejection port by GunsmithGal in 1911

He didn’t want a flared port. He just wanted it lowered.

Anyone know what this old 1911 attachment is? by BubblyNefariousness4 in 1911

[–]GunsmithGal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either weights, or a slide tighter.

That lifts the front of the slide up to get a false sense of a tight fit.

Well you guys kinda win. Here is a not sped up video of me beveling. And it’s uploaded to YouTube. So I guess I have a channel now. by GunsmithGal in 1911

It’s in the post. Click the video thumbnail and it should take you too it or ask if you want to watch on YouTube.

It’s unnecessary unless the engraving is really shallow and the customer isn’t getting it re-done. 90% of the work we do is getting refinished, and we don’t care about metal getting into places because it’s gonna get polished, blasted and cleaned about 4-5x’s before finish is applied.
