Can't buy this one. My SR1911 has a titanium firing pin. Drop, no kaboom. The 1911 has a rebounding firing pin. It takes a heavy strike ( like the hammer falling ) to set em off. Eighty series..... Firing pin block. A solution for a miniscule problem. I think the " drop safe " thing is a a once in a blue moon thing. It panders to the novice gun handlers. The first rule of using firearms other than not pointing em at anything ya don't want ta shoot is to keep em in your firm possession at all times at all costs. Remember; the 1911 was designed as a calvary pistol. Troopers used the 1911 effectively astride galloping horses--- one handed no less... No " modern " pistol has surpassed the trigger on the 1911. Your mileage may vary. leroy.

I have a good friend that has gifted me a number of fine firearms. He stopped up a few Saturdays ago and had a pair of 25s that he thought I would enjoy. A gorgeous 25-5 in .45 Long Colt An equally beautiful 25-2 in .45 ACP with original barrel. The hard chrome finish is spectacular and very durable. They were plated 25+ years ago and the 25-2 in .45 ACP has but the fainest turn line. I shot a 4" 625-3 in IDPA for some years and a 5" 625-4 in USPSA and sold both of them when I stopped shooting them so I'm looking forward to getting some .45 ACP moon clip shooting in (I still have my 646). I can't recall ever having shot a .45 LC so that will be a new experience. Cheers James

A 1911 is not drop safe. It was a great side-piece for years but modern handguns have surpassed the 1911 in all categories when it comes to carry arms. This is all coming from a guy who LOVES his 1911s...

Are you ever in the Lebanon area?

Since March of 2019 one of my warmer weather carry guns has been a Dan Wesson Valkyrie Commander in 9mm. Years ago I had a Colt Stainless Lightweight Commander XS (NOT XSE) and I had Mitch Rosen make a 5JR for it. The Colt got too valuable to carry so I sold it but kept the 5JR and that's what the Dan Wesson rides in. I've owned several 1911s and the Dan Wesson is the finest I've ever owned. Fit and finish are superb and it's a very pleasant gun to shoot. In February of this year I bought a 3.6" S&W CSX E-Series and put a SIG Romeo-X 6MOA on it. The Dan Wesson has actually been put in the safe. Cheers James

Welcome!

Welcome to TGO and welcome back home!

Are you open to trade? This is exactly why I'm on here looking to sell a couple, so I can get that exact beauty.

Welcome to TGO! While I've lived in the Nashville area for 30+ years, I did take a four year hiatus to Owens Cross Roads, AL. Wife and I were glad to get back to the Nashville area and call Mt. Juliet home now. I even stayed active on TGO while in AL - I couldn't find a similar gun forum down there. I've been spoiled being a part of this dysfunctional family since around 2008.

What is the wattage on that rig? Edit: Output wattage.

Ayyyyy welcome to the world of ham radio! The beauty of modern radios is that SO MANY can be used as mobile AND base transceivers. Really all you have to do is find a compact radio that covers all the bands you desire. You can choose to have low power (roughly 10 watts) or full power (100 watts) for output on the bands. I am a whore for Yaesu these days, but Kenwood was my workhorse up until last year.

How many rounds have you put through it?

Will do! Have to get my new user threshold passed first. Edit: I can't spell.

Perhaps you should privately contact the seller to discuss opinions on value.

Let's see...

Nice looking gun but not at that price point

Will you be close to Cookeville or Lebanon anytime soon?

Whaddup, y'all? I recently moved to the area from Madison, Alabama. I still feel at home even though I work in Hermitage. I'm pretty laidback, with a typical evening consisting of sipping on a bourbon on the back patio with the dogs. Cheers, friends!

I understand that it hasn't had the recall work done. Likely won't be able to get your asking price without that. I do have cash and am interested regardless.
