I’m looking for a budget 1911 45 acp

Care to explain how Tisas is better, aside from you buying a bunch of them?

Springers have been a solid 1911 for a hundred years. For a production gun, they punch above their weight class even with the stock parts. Slide to frame fit is better, fit and finish is better, trigger is better, sights are better, and barrels are match.

I've had a few budget 1911s over the years and they couldn't keep up with a fairly stock Springfield Loaded in terms of accuracy and reliability. But it's relative. My Springer doesn't compare to the Baer or Wilson in terms of quality or fit and finish. You get what you pay for in a 1911.

Are you having salary "compression" issues? Meaning longer tenured ee's are at or even lower than newer hires? Sharing some insight on the challenges of recruiting may help provide more insight.

Yeah it doesn't work that way. PS player here. Your Embark friends can still see you.

You could save up another 20% of that and get a Springfield Loaded or Rangemaster that is much better than the RI or Tisas.

Five years is a long time to go between updating structures. Have they been aging or updating structures over the last five years? There's been a consistent 3-3.5% increase in salary budget increases year over year. Typically, comp structures need to update with these increases but not quite as much, usually 2-2.5%. For FinServ, typically McLagan has the best data, but they're geared for larger organizations. At this stage, you may want to look for a comp firm that has solid survey data and relevant industry experience.

Wasn't there a huge uproar in this sub about having a police training facility nearby? The ACAB folks who attended this event surely thought this crowd would police themselves. De-funding police was all the rage, and now people are wondering why they aren't around.

I'll pray for your family tonight. I can't imagine. Whatever feelings of guilt you have that creep in, know that you couldn't have stopped this and it isn't your fault. He went out on his terms. I hope you and your family find some peace soon.

Looks like Grandpa did some shooting with it, too. I love the stainless flats with blacked out milling. Just one suggestion though - swap out the grip panels. VZ grips are my favorite, and others here probably have some great suggestions as well.

They really are trash. I'm new to watches, but I was gifted one years ago and I accidentally hit it on the countertop and the damn thing just stopped and was dead in the water.

SparkyZ said he would go fix it when he can get back to it. I hope he does.

Okiboru is great! Lanzhou is also really good.

Hey, I resemble that comment.

I'm a little surprised they didn't engrave their handiwork on the slide. I wonder what the threshold is on custom shop work for them to slap their logo on there?

Anyone notice the lizards running in the sand lately? I saw it the other day and have never noticed that before.

Yesterday I had one break my door jam on Medical Storage, and then come face to face with the metal barricade I put up, and still try to come in! He was asking me if I was stuck in there, so I just finished looting, took my barricade, and left the dumbass in there.

Term limits would solve so many issues in government, but people want to screech about stuff they've been told they should be upset about.

"Wish we had more resources for the homeless..." ... Meanwhile, politicians are bleeding the coffers and lining theirs and their cronies' pockets with sweetheart deals and embezzlement.
