    At each price level there is a 1911 that might be considered to be a best buy. RIA is a good solid 1911 with a great warranty service if needed. After that I'd suggest Springfield, followed by Dan...

    I have both. Which one to adopt depends on what you expect of it. The DW is perhaps the best assembled production 1911 I own. The LB is reliable and very accurate. My LB guns are more accurate than...

    I like Pythons and still have my favorite one. I found out the hard way that if you want to keep wear to a minimum, don't cycle the action really fast as it's hard on parts (as previously mentioned)...

    That one is still a good catch. Does the rear sight have a square front on it or the rounded one?
    A photo would be great too.

    Good responses. The large primer was primarily used in the 38/44 loads of the past. Some of the cases may be of the folded brass design which holds more powder than modern style brass but isn't as...

    The barrel constriction in S&W vary from gun to gun with some being barely noticeable and others are just crazy tight. My 29-9 has the worst of any I've seen. S&W of course thinks it's perfectly fine.
