The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.

Re: 1911 Picture Thread
That's a great pic. Love it. Love all these fine 1911s, in fact. Great thread.

Re: 1911 Picture Thread
They're fine shooters, and inexpensive. I carry one or the other occasionally. Usually the Tanker due to the shorter slide/barrel, without any worries about reliability. Both have Series 70 internals. Like nearly every 1911 they do require some break-in, but will reliably feed and fire any .45acp you give them from 185grn jhp to 255 grn HCFN +P, but work best with Wilson Combat or equivalent mags.
Probably don't need to tell you this, but these are not competition pistols. They are combat guns with combat sights, trigger, barrel, etc.

Re: 1911 Picture Thread
The only problem I've had is with 45 ACP magazines by PROMAG. They are slightly too big. The magazine can be forced in and it will feed, but it is very tight and very hard to remove. I tried grinding/polishing down the sides along with some dry lube. But I gave up on it, easier to go buy a different brand magazine that will actually slide in nicely.

Re: 1911 Picture Thread

Re: 1911 Picture Thread
CMP entered into a contract with Tisas last year, so you can also buy them thru CMP. Quite an endorsement.
