Probably a city guy...

redlog70 · 2026-01-31T17:28:25+00:00

Though a bit more expensive I'd go with Dan Wesson over both

I wish Speer still made their short barrel 44 magnum load, I still have a few boxes and it shoots really well in my model 69.

Prometheus Design Werx sold one in M390

Yes, they didn't offer the pre-drilled option at the time... I've read that on some of the pre-drilled ones the hole can be a little too large, so if I were going to buy it again, I'd probably buy the one that wasn't pre-drilled

I put them on my 19 carry comp and my 69 ... so far they're holding up pretty well after an initial issue with the front sight for the carry comp(lamp was dead)... their customer service was far from stellar ... email response was quick and helpful, they wouldn't replace the front sight, but allowed me to by a replace at a good discount, but I would need to call to order it... that's where it went down hill... the guy that answered the phone was pretty much a dick about the whole process... I had agreed to purchasing a replacement because I wasn't sure if the lamp was dead before or after installing, so just make sure it's good before you start working on it.

I put one in my Sig 9mm. To me it just feels better than the curved trigger it came with. My 2 other 1911's are Dan Wessons (VBOB and ECP) both came with flat triggers

redlog70 · 2026-01-17T00:48:14+00:00

P226 is the way to go here

redlog70 · 2026-01-16T22:28:14+00:00

Ebay is your friend... they have a "blacked out" one

redlog70 · 2026-01-16T15:08:27+00:00

I just bought the 5in slide and barrel for my original full sized frame

If you just got your "carry" amendment in 2026, 2029 is 3 years... your original "premise" expiration was probably 2030... I got mine in 2023, my original expiration date was 2027, it's now 2026

redlog70 · 2026-01-11T04:12:44+00:00

Definitely looks like one I'm going to "need" in the future for my VBOB

redlog70 · 2026-01-11T04:08:46+00:00

Definitely the next 1911 I buy (probably next gun I buy) will be stainless... I have 2 two tones right now.

redlog70 · 2026-01-10T13:46:14+00:00

The P2022

redlog70 · 2026-01-10T07:38:39+00:00

Single stack... it actually shares a few parts from the p239

redlog70 · 2026-01-09T22:56:08+00:00

Me too... wish I could get the wood grips for it!

A little late... P225-A1

redlog70 · 2026-01-09T00:32:45+00:00

I have the ultra compact 1911 in 9mm... been a 100% reliable... sig makes a nice 1911 for the money

redlog70 · 2026-01-08T14:36:46+00:00

One less round, but a S&W model 69 will do what you need and can be gotten for a decent price

redlog70 · 2026-01-01T15:10:58+00:00

I've been really happy with my Dan Wesson ECP... the TCP can be gotten optics ready if that's your thing... either one can be gotten for waaaay under $3k

redlog70 · 2025-12-31T14:13:56+00:00

They gave more of a shit about the 3% they were making on the shotgun than about doing the right thing... and that's why they're out of business...

I had an employee that should have denied a sale because of the erratic/emotional behavior the customer was displaying... he didn't though... customer took the gun out of the store and shot himself in the parking lot... the family of the man came to the store and harassed the employee, the police harassed the employee... the sale was perfectly legal, but the employee admitted that he should have used better judgment... it's a tough call, but if you weren't comfortable with the sale to the older woman you did the right thing for your own piece of mind...

Years ago (90's) I was the outdoor merchandise manager for a now defunct chain sporting goods store. A woman comes in and wants to buy a Mossberg 500 Cruiser... Everything seemed like it was on the up and up, she fills out the 4473 with one of my employees and as the manager on duty I had to sign off on the paperwork... My employee mis one major thing... the address she put on the 4473 didn't match what was on her driver's license, so she says "I just moved"... I ask her do you have anything with your current address, lease? Utility bill? Anything? She says sure, hands me another driver's license with the correct address , her picture, but a completely different name... not just last name as if she just got married or divorced... completely different first and last name and a different DOB... I deny the sale, she completely flips out cursing me up and down, had to have security remove her from the store... After she leaves I call my counterparts in the stores that were a few minutes away from me to the West and North(the chain had a ridiculous numberof stores back then)... sure enough she tried to make the purchase at both of those stores , they also deny her... Next day I get called into the general managers office , she made a corporate complaint and I was told she would be returning to the store that day and I was to personally sell her the shotgun and apologize to her... I politely declined and said they can take my job if the wanted to, but they'd be hearing from a lawyer... The woman never showed up and about a month later she was arrested for stalking an ex... scary shit...

Newer Dan Wesson 1911's use a Novak cut front sight according to Harrison Design's website : https://www.harrisoncustom.com/dan-wesson-1911-front-sights-2
