That's one good looking rifle!

I was referring to modern 1911's. I don't know anyone carrying the "original". It's still my opinion and experience that the best way to train and carry (a modern 1911) is cocked and locked. JMHO

Thanks. Didn't know it was old, obviously I can't read either and should have checked. :oops:

FYI for LCP Owners: http://www.ruger.com/LCPRecall/ Most of the functions on this board do are not available for some reason so I wasn't able to do a search. Sorry if this is a re-post.

OH YEAH! :mrgreen:

So far only two brands, Gold dots and DPX. No issues.

I chose to go slow and used a small file not a dremmel tool. Takes longer but I'm kinda prone to screwing things up by being in a hurry! :roll:

The 1911 was made to be carried cocked, locked and ready to rock! :D

I used the 8lb trigger spring (only one in the kit) and the 10lb hammer spring. No on the Loctite. When fitting the sight, I left it ever so slightly tight so I had to lightly tap the sight in to the slot. Once the roll pin was in, that sight isn't going anywhere. :wink:

I just installed a Trijicon Big Dot Front Sight on my SP101 2 1/4" .357 I'm no gunsmith but it wasn't too hard to fit and drill. Put in a Wolfe Spring kit too. Way better trigger!

I carry 125gr Corbon DPX. in my 2 1/2" SP101. Seriously hard to beat it's performance. :wink:

Bear Spray... just sayin'! :mrgreen: (or shall we say... stirring?) :lol:

Thanks gang for the welcome! :D

I just ordered this one from shopruger dot com, Item Number: 50416 Strong hand draw or cross draw.

I couldn't make up my mind, .357 or .22LR... so I got both! :D
