My other 1911 was a reliable shooter, right out of the box. My other 1911 was a reliable shooter, right out of the box. Every other 1911 I've ever heard of of various peoples I have direct contact with was a reliable shooter right out of the box except for a budge used Llama.<br /><br />I have had some friends send some other non-1911 models back to the factory for not working right out for the box. Prolly bad luck, that. As they are well regarded guns of Czech and German manufacture. Happens. I don't hold it against em. <br /><br />New Jovian Thunderbolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452246769246304612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-15871146831213829452014-10-21T20:16:51.611-04:002014-10-21T20:16:51.611-04:00"I was seriously thinking about a 1911 but re..."I was seriously thinking about a 1911 but really would rather just have a reliable shooter right out of the box."<br /><br />My 1911s were absolutely reliable right out of the box. I took the last one I bought right out of the box on Friday night and took it to a 2-day, 1000-round Todd Green pistol class on Saturday morning and it didn't malfunction once.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-42047966470167122014-10-21T20:08:50.592-04:002014-10-21T20:08:50.592-04:00I was seriously thinking about a 1911 but really w...I was seriously thinking about a 1911 but really would rather just have a reliable shooter right out of the box. Dicking around with it sounds like something I would do with a used bargain basement piece that needs TLC. Funny thing: my dad's a WWII vet, 88 years old, can't remember what infantry division he was in but still bitches about those .45s. Loved his M1 though.burkdoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415999670111144914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274583756441452923.post-26729643696132121952014-10-21T12:43:22.740-04:002014-10-21T12:43:22.740-04:00I will need to post that srping pic, yes.
