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 "Rimfire Corner" 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.

Forum: M1911 Manufacturers

Brand-specific forums for brand-specific 1911 related questions only. No non-1911-related questions here.
Do not use this area for USGI or other pre-WWII pistols, see section below.
Do not post questions for after-market parts in these forums, use the "Parts Bin" forums instead.

  26. Custom Pistols

    Use this area to show us pistols built by professional custom gunsmiths, or to ask question about such pistols.
    Not for asking general gunsmithing or "how to" questions, or showing home-built pistols.
    Use the Gunsmithing forum for that.
