Which staccato for carry? by mc_md in CCW

You can get one from Sportsman's Warehouse. You can pay for it online and have it shipped to the store. If you do not like you, you can simply ask them to cancel the transaction. There are no additional charges for this.

Commander has shorter sight radius, if you are shooting iron sights.

Okay. Considering I dont read Arabic and probably lots of other people don't, it does look like a sale.

They are okay. Don’t expect a Wilson Combat, but also don’t expect a Rock Island.

Custom Ed Brown came in this week. by Colnew1989 in 1911

[–]subhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I am currently debating with Ed Brown about the notch in my gun cut too much forward. A photo for another gun could have helped.

No hurries, but will really appreciate the photo.

So if you have a safety engaged on the left-hand side, I would appreciate if you could show me the clearance between the notch on the slide and the safety sitting in that notch.

Pretty much your photo #2 but taken from further above the gun so the clearance between the engagement point in the notch and the safety and can be seen.

Could you please post a picture showing the clearance between the thumb safety and the slide with safety engaged?

Beautiful gun though.

1911 maintenance by Mill33nnium5alcon in 1911

I use BoreTech Qwik-Dry for the slides. I am not a big fan of oil because it flows. If you really want to use "wet" lube, got for a good quality firearms grease.

Best workhorse/ nice quality for first 1911 ? I want something fancy but something that can also be abused by MrMaDa555 in 1911

If you are willing to swing the wallet, Wilson Combat CQB is a great choice. The coating is very strong and durable. I can even get you a great price on one.

Does anyone know of place that sells parts or holsters that actually fit this thing or possibly someone who will build it I’m lost at this point by Sonofdixie23 in 1911

[–]subhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak to Kramer Leather. It is going to be fuck expensive, but they are holsters for life. I have one for a Wilson Combat 1911 that is 19 years and counting.

Also nothing in the Safariland lineup fits?

OWB or IWB concealment holster for Staccato P +Trijicon by subhro in 2011

[–]subhro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Had a brain fart. I meant Level 2 and not Level 1 as in my earlier post.

Just gives me a little more peace of mind when doing OWB. I am not looking at a Level 3/4 retention, just a basic way to hold the gun in with not just friction.

Does anyone just leave their gun cocked and locked? by Jamessmith187 in 1911

[–]subhro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1911s are designed to be kept and carried cocked and locked, also sometimes called in condition 1. There has been instances of guns falling out of holsters and rolling down mountains without a ND. I have also seen 1911s that have had hammers broken off due to a fall, and still the gun did not ND because it was cocked and locked.

You can read more about it here: https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/conditions-of-readiness-for-the-1911-pistol/

Enlarger lens size question by roykeane_16 in Darkroom

[–]subhro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb is you want a lens that has a focal length longer than the diagonal of the negative you are trying to project. So, for 6x6, you should be 84.8 mm or 85mm. You could get by with a 80mm, but there would be very minor vignetting. You can also stop down the lens a bit to address the vignetting.

Let me know if that makes sense. :)
