For my 1911. Not planning on carrying it but this will be useful for range work

I 2nd the recommendation for OnSight. Ben is a good guy and an excellent trainer. I should train with him again sometime myself.

Well, more specifically I'm wanting the most recent year of production that doesn't suck.

It might be time for a .44 myself. What year do you reckon S&Ws revolver QC went to shit, I.E. how old a 629 do I need to get?

10mm is cool. M&Ps are cool. 10mm M&P is therfore double cool! M&P 10 is definitely on the short list.

This is what their .45 ACP can do. This is excellent ammo, very accurate. I highly recommend it for anyone that wants a little better than basic blaster ammo.

This thing is just an amazing shooting piece. And the Atlanta Arms product is very good as well, I can't expect any better than that. Also I now have 1200 rounds through it and the pistol itself has been very reliable. Occasionally I will fail to ensure tge top round in a mag is not seated...

That actually sounds pretty fair.

Striker fired guns, such as those you lost here, most certainly do have locking lugs. The barrel hood/chamber itself is the locking lug which locks into the ejection port of the slide. I'd also argue the the fixed camming underlug what interfaces with the cam block in the frame has more...

Yeah, I was looking at the Wilson combat stuff, not terribly expensive. I'll look into the spring too, I'll have to learn more about it first. Also I'll be replacing the factory polymer mainspring housing with a blued steel one too.

I am thinking of getting an extended slide release and a wider safety.

The LAR Grizzly Mk I has become something of a grail gun for me. Totally impractical with expensive, hard to find ammo but I still want one.

That particular gun is definitely on the list. I'm thinking I might plump for the Performance Center model, mostly because I think the compensator looks cool. I have read you might need to go to a heavier recoil spring for reliable function in those and if that doesn't work people claim...

Ah, I know Johnson's Country Store well, I was raised in Lockport. As others have said Johnson's will only be able to offer a fraction of what the gun is worth. Gunbroker or such like is her best bet.
