PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Sadness & my first SR1911 sighting

I walked into my local Sporting goods shop. They had an SR1911. $700. Was not thrilled with the price. However i probably would have bought it. I racked the slide and heard a scraping like fingers on the chalkboard. I then noticed the barrel was scratched at the bottom of the ejection port. My heart sank. I put her back and left. There was something wrong with her. Darn it!!

That's a sad day my friend. I can't imagine what was going on...there's nothing in there that I can think of. Maybe a piece of trash (metal) or something???

Maybe it had some left over sharp edges or burrs still in it?

A few years back i purchased a new ruger 10/22. Upon a complete disassembly i found burrs hanging from the tapped screw holes for the scopemount on the inside of the receiver. I stoned all the surfaces flat and smooth and broke all the sharp corners and edges too. I'm guessing the receiver missed the deburring process. Bill
