Malda, just take a deep breath and relax - you will enjoy your 1911 just as it come out of the box! All it really NEEDS is a good field strip and

thorough cleaning. Oh, yeah - the grips, if they're not broken, are less than pleasant to behold. But other than that, you will have a FINE

example to take to the range and enjoy! Try it for a while and take your time before jumping into making modifications. There's lots of

"experts" out there who will tell you what you need, but take everything with a grain of salt. It's YOUR firearm, do with it what YOU want,

and make it what YOU want it to be!

And same to you, Marksman_994! Glad your combo is shipping! Congratulations!

a slide slams home much harder when firing than when letting it go on empty, there will not be any wear on slide/frame doing so, however the hammer/sear engagement is what might wear, especially on 1911's with trigger jobs

recoil buffer has nothing to do with reducing or controlling recoil, its just a barrier to protect slide battering the frame

come on! after 40 years you should know that!

Malda, thank you for not taking any offense at my comment - none was intended! I've seen a lot of people just use the stop as a release, and seen quite a few failures to feed because of that method. Slingshotting gives the slide the proper impetus to pick up and chamber a round, especially when the firearm is dirty. I've been collecting and shooting for more than 40 years now, and was introduced quite a while before that! LOL Anyway, what my old firearms instructor told me MANY years ago was that allowing the slide to slam home without a cartridge (or dummy) to buffer the impact would eventually cause unnecessary wear on the slide and frame. I never argued with him. Naturally as robust as it is, , the 1911 CAN take a lot of abuse, but I like to "baby" mine. Of course, opinions vary, and some claim it does no harm, and I wish them well. I just won't do it on MY firearm!

RECOIL BUFFER??? John M. didn't include one in his glorious design! :) There are dozens of modern modifications that CAN be done to reduce recoil, but for most shooters they're not necessary. Is the recoil of a .45 that bad? I don't think so. I love these examples for what they are: almost 100% clones of a 1911A1 Government Issue. They are also a GOOD platform to build upon if you want a customized competition gun. I certainly hope you enjoy your new 1911!!! (that's what REALLY matters!)

Well, I still maintain that the action of stripping a round from the magazine, and chambering same, slows down

the slide to a large extent. Still not a good idea to let the slide hit an empty chamber.


And, Hi!


KarlB

Oh, yeah - recoil buffer - protects the PARTS, not the hand... sheesh.

Wholly smokes all the hero's are coming out of the wood work tonight huh!? Anyone who knows pistols, also know that what KarlB has posted is #7 of the 10 commandments of ownership.

Commandment #1; and on the 5th day God made man.
2; 6,000 years later John MOSES Browning made them equal
3; JMB sayith, care for your sidearm and it will take care of you when called upon to do so
4; there is no advantage to smaller metric calibers
5; ...handgun or rifle, it is blasphemy to argue otherwise
6; honor and respect those who know more about firearms than you
7; never slam the slide under spring psi without a loaded magazine in the pistol
8; never run a pistol that is dry,
9; unless that pistol is a Glock
10; if you find strange peening around the breech, you fu<ked up by ignoring Commandment # 7 and will spend eternity in the purgatory of metric calibers
 
Got my 1911 on May 29 but have only had it to the range twice. Have put about 150 rounds through it with no issues. The slide seems a bit gritty but not too loose. Trigger is medium, and the grips were cracked. All in all it is a great deal. Picked up some new wooden wrap-around grips today and plan to head to the range tomorrow. Feels very comfortable now.

My Norc 1911 had a very gritty feel to it as well, lapped the slide to frame with Blue Magic Metal Polish and right about 60 or so slide movements the gritty feeling got better, did about 100 slide movements and now it is super smooth!
 
after 40 years he should not only know everything about the gun, but how to make one from a forging

no argument there about slowing it down, just what wears

Besides that KarlB, I also bought a Remington R1S.....just in case this gun is not enough...(heard that never enough 1911s....so like in the commandments, I listen to people that knows more about guns than me!!!!! lolllllll) Ever heard about it? (the remington R1S) ???
 
Cyberman, I especially like your pics showing what I see as above average serration machining. One item that I have noticed on many pics is that the serrations seems "chippy", like it was cut too fast or with a dulling bit causing small chunks to be ripped out of the peaks on the serrations. Could be just blobby finish between serrations but I'm thinking rough serrations. These conclusions are just by viewing pics here, still haven't fondled mine, patiently waiting for the approval/delivery process to run its course. Yours seems to have a good finish too.
