Yeah, I clean mine after every range session too but I'm usually shooting 250-300 rds. Granted, I don't go to the range near as often as I used to back when a box of .45 ACP could be had for less than $10 but when I do shoot my 1911 maybe once every 2 or 3 months these days, I try to get it nice and dirty.

My dad, before he passed away, was a gunsmith and somewhat of a collector of guns. Of the 30-something pistols he had, 13 were 1911 frames in various calibers and sizes,mainly.45 though. I had asked him “Dad, do you like 1911’s much ?” He replied, “Its the best and only automatic pistol made in my mind “. Thank you guys for all the content.

Amen on Bill's magazine choices. You can have an inexpensive gun or a tricked out Wilson. If you stick with those two mags, any feeding issues you had evaporate. Any mag that gives me a problem gets thrown away. The only ones that have survived? McCormick and Wilson. They are worth the price.

Not even just with 1911’s either. The magazine is often so overlooked but is one of the most important pieces of a semi auto design. You see people encounter problems with AR’s, AK’s, Glocks as well as other modern pistols when using aftermarket mags and they somehow decide the gun which worked fine with the stock mags is the broken piece.

Back in the 1970s-80s I read everything I could find about Bill Wilson's recommendations and applied them to my own Springfield Armory basic model 1911-A1 a few years later: extended thumb safety (mostly to give my thumb some place to rest), extended slide release, beavertail grip safety, improved barrel lockup with match grade bushing carefully fit, etc. Even did my own ejection port relief for better ejection. It wasn't a pretty gun but it was reliable and accurate. And I still clean my guns once a year whether they need it or not.

Listening to these men reminds me of growing up as a young boy, I was fortunate enough for one to have been brought up in the rural South where men and conversations such as this was common. Just as common was the likelihood that a rifle was in arms reach as much that a wrench, hammer or any other common tool was, and I thank God for it.

The Wilson oil is really good stuff. Since I live in Florida and it's almost always hot... I use the grease and universal oil. If it slides it's greased. If it turns it's oiled. After using it for over 3 years it really stands out compared to other oils. My EDC 45 gets deep cleaned every 60 days if I haven't shot it. I usually shoot my other 45 on the range. Anyway the grease is always still there and wet. I wouldn't want to run 100 rounds through it, but 8 or 15 rounds sure. I also use it on everything else. My 22s love it.

Better sights, better trigger, then go shoot the hell out of it. Frequently.

My 1911 was issued in 1941 and spent the first four years of its life on a pacific island scouting for Japanese movements. When it came to me, it was beat up and lost all its park rising. Day I took it to the range and all eight rounds came out at once. Clearly it needed a rebuild. I brought it to Turnbull for restoration and then had it refinished. And also got a new trigger and several of the internals. Still has the same barrel it had during the war. At first I didn’t get anything you could call a group, so I handed it to a friend of mine, who is a sniper in the Marine Corps. He put all eight rounds through the same hole at 25 yards. Clearly I needed practice. But reliability and accuracy were certainly not an issue.

@buckshot4428 2 года назад
Back in the day when Colt was the only game in town you gave your new 1911 to a pistolsmith and they did their magic. I had one that was made in 51 and wish I would have kept it as it never jammed, but it had an issue with the barrel lugs being worn out and was shooting low. I had a smith fit a new barrel and bushing and it still shot low so I sold it.

Sights on a 1911? Gee, I didn't realize they were supposed to have any. LOL That long barrel has always been my idea of a sight. Something happened to the sights on the one I have so I wasn't sure if they were supposed to come with them. That extended beaver tail is an excellent idea. My old springfield has bit me a few times.

I have always wanted a 1911, so when one became available that I could afford, I jumped on it. Gear heads will bash me I’m sure, but it’s the Citadel A1FS in 45 auto. I am still loving this thing. Maybe someday I’ll get a Wilson, I’ll have to save my pennies because I’m retired and on a fixed income now. The only regret, I should have gotten one earlier in life. From California too, so it’s not like I have many choices.

2:30 After I got my first 1911 back in 2009, I quickly realized (before the end of the first box of ammo) that it was beating the crap out of my hand. It was a Colt O1991 which had the GI style hammer/grip safety as the gun on the left. The tip of the hammer would bang on my flesh and took a patch of skin off. Before long, I started bleeding. I replaced them with WC Drop In Grip Safety (part number 429BG) and Value Line Hammer (455B). Not only these were the cheapest replacement parts I could find, but they were also actually really "drop in", that I didn't have to do any fitting at all. Great products, great price, and no fitting, love them! :)

I purchased a new DW Bobtail in 10mm when they first came out. I heard Wilson mags are the best! the 8 round Wilson 10mm mag finally came out so I purchased one for around $45. Failure to feed left and right. FMJ, hollow points all the same results. Compatibility issue was the culprit. SO I purchased TRP's Cobra mags. NEVER had a failure to feed problem again. The correct magazine is everything.

I’m really enjoying my Wilson combat flat wire kit in my kimber eclipse target 2 45. The gun never functioned as well. I went from liking the gun to loving it.

I carry the Dan Wesson PM1-S. It is wicked-accurate! Will only use Wilson Combat or Chip McCormick mags and Wilson Combat parts. Load my own ammo (long story)

I took a cheap Norinco 1911, and with the help from Gene Shuey of AGI Building the ultimate 1911, and a few wilson Combat parts built the ultimate 1911! Shoots very well, no feed issues,no jams, and very acurate! So thank you Bill Wilson for making great parts with very little fit issues, and for helping build a great firearm!!!

I bought a 1911 Series 70 Govt. in the early 80 from a friend of mine for $200.00 he said he had problems with it the first time I took it to the range it had a stove pipe jam and I noticed the brass ejected just over my head, I did some reading and I decided to have to the ejection port lowered, feed ramp polished and replaced the oem ejector with a commander ejector, the next weekend I took it back to the range and to my surprise it didn't jam once, the brass ejected about 15 feet behind my with no damage....one of my favorite guns ever 45 ACP

I agree with Bill, as far as lubrication in warm or hot seasons, I use light grease. In fact, as odd as it sounds, I use Ford Motor Company part # DOAZ-19584-AA multi purpose grease. It’s specifically made for sliding mechanisms like seat slides. It stays where you put it and is very slick.

Check out the Tisas 1911B. It's got sights, trigger, beavertail, hammer and internals upgrade right outta the box for $339 at Classic Firearms. I took possession of mine yesterday for a total of $427 for a super sweet shooting 1911.

Gave my adult son my 1911A1 I carried a number of years as a LEO. Had the trigger pull slightly increased, probably from 4 lbs +/_ to 5 lbs +/-. I had carried and shot this pistol a number of years and considered myself expert with it. My son, not so much. Didn’t want and unintentional discharges. I would add the pull was quite crisp before and after. Thank you Mike Merker for your fine work.

I would also recommend Tripp research mags as they have always performed well. I've had floor plates dislodge from my Wilson combat mags.

The first modification I made to an RIA 1911 I bought was to get all Wilson Combat springs. I figured they had a good chance of being the weak spot.

Bill and Mas - I have a new S&W Performance Center PC1911 in .45 ACP 5” $1,500 - that cycles and reliably fires/ejects every type of ammo I’ve ever tried, both commercial and hand loads, FMJ, hollow points, etc. It is also extremely accurate. My only complaint is that I would prefer a better rear sight. It is one of my favorite EDC guns. I’d love to have a Wilson Combat Classic in .45 but for twice the amount of money, what more would I be getting?
