What I Bought on Black Friday

The Dlask 1911's also start at $1250. I have 2 kids and daycare costs higher than my mortgage; I can sympathize with a guy trying to shoot and keep his costs down.

I enjoy seeing someone buy something new try it, and let everyone else know. If gear is great, we all know and can benefit. If the gear is not so great, we all know and can benefit.

Nugunner, I await your range report, good or bad.
 
Interesting debate...as a relative newcomer to shooting..I'm trading my way through everything available...had a couple of higher end pistols that were quite 'meh' and a couple of cheapies that were surprisingly good...mostly they were as described..solid shooters....glad to see others finding out what works for them and their budget...

My Black Friday purchase was a Canuck 1911 Stainless in 9mm. I got a great price from Target Sports, who matched an even lower price than they had on the sale. I'm just waiting on the registration to arrive and to do a clean and lube to take it to the range.

WOW !! FOR THE PRICE LOOKING GOOD . I SECURE A 45.acp FROM NEXT BATCH
 
The Turks have been making firearms since Christ was a Cowboy. Give it a rest fellows.

If the 1911's are made as well as the Girsan guns then there is nothing to be concerned about. My Girsan Compact is about as well made with fit and finish rivaling anything out of the US. I do wish Canuck or Girsan would drop the rail. The rail just doesn't do it for me on the 1911. But that is just dumb ass personal preference.

Congrats on a great looking shooter. Could be a player in IDPA ESP Division.

Take Care

Have you gotten a chance to try it out yet nugunner? I am very interested in how it works for you, good or bad. I am asked about new guns at the range many times, and not everyone can afford a Colt, so I like other options to mention.
 
I dont have a problem with a gun made in Turkey (my Girsan 92 impressed me a lot!) but I think it kinda off puting to call a gun Cunnuk that's made in another Country. I would be more interested if they called it something else .

I shot the 45 at a shot show at GALT gun club in Puslinch.

I hope yours doesn't shoot like the ones there did...I had 4 failure to ejects in a row in the .45 and other people were having the same problem in the 9mm.

They even cleaned them, then brought them back out, but problems still. I hope it was the ammo because the gun looks cool. I hope you report that yours works great, because I'll never buy one based off my experience.

When it did cycle I didn't love it enough to warrant a purchase, maybe it was because it was having problems thus I wasn't as excited so I can't be certain.

Good Luck!

Probably insufficient extractor tension on the cartridge casing rim.

Back in the 70s I owned a Series 70 Colt with this problem. No feeding problems, just stovepipes with the extractor claw hanging on to the casing.
I bent the extractor end inward a bit. Problem solved.

Interestingly, I subsequently have owned a Remington Rand WW2 1911A1, a Springfield Armory G.I. model, and Ruger SR1911.

None of them had any feeding or ejection failures at all, and all of them had firm extractor tension on the case rim.

What could be more Canadian than buying products made anywhere else but here? :rolleyes:

A typical Canuck wears shoes and clothing made in China and the third world, buys Japanese and American power tools, outfits his shop with Chinese-made woodworking machines, and drives an American Ford Truck with the engine made in Mexico.
