1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

[Yooper]

Not to derail this any further but where do the pros in here stand on red dots on 1911's? Gotta have one if you can or messes with the aesthetic of the gun? I've always preferred the clean look of the classic 1911 but there's something fun about shooting with a dot as well.

My opinion, it does mess up the looks of a good 1911 just like a railed dustcover does, but I am definitely a function over form type of person so I prefer all my guns to have a RDS and a rail.

Just picked up this abomination last week and got some parts in for my MAC 9 DS(non-comp)! I snagged it for $715 shipped.

Found a used Stac P grip, magwell, grip safety, mag release, mainspring housing, and trigger for $200(Springfield Prodigy grip, mag release and MSH for $50 would have been a better value) because the original texture was… well it wasn’t textured, I’ll put it that way. Also got this rmr07 used for $275. We’re wheelin and dealin baby!

Already broke it down, lightly sanded(mostly just got rid of high spots) and polished all the internals, as well as the frame rails. Slightly beveled and rounded the areas on the bottom of slide that were hanging on the disconnector, lubed it up and racked it a whole shit ton while watching TV. I suspect the extractor will need some tuning because it wouldn’t let go of a round no matter how much I shook the slide, and it feels pretty heavily sprung but gonna put 500 rounds through it before anything else. I can’t make it to the range until next week, but will report back with thoughts and findings.

If Kimber can keep up the quality, the Warrior DS seems like it will be the non-Staccatto 2011.

I plan on finding out soon.

I also feel like I need one in 10mm...
