Anybody else also thinking of getting out of 45 ACP?

I own one CMP 1911A1. I shoot it on 4th of July and a few other times a year. I load light loads for it. Slow but fun. I’ll take all your brass.

You take out the screw and It slides over the end of the barrel and is clamped on.

If you look at the front sight you can see the factory relief-cut on the back edge to clear the comp.

It’s an interesting design, haha!! I don’t think it’s ever been mounted.

Pretty cool. Why haven't you mounted it?

How is the EMP?

I had a pair of EMP4s one with a dot sight and one without. Very nice 1911s. I was getting out of the platform so I sold them.
Unfortunately I found a Kimber CDP that I fell in love with.

I’m afraid of scratching that beautiful old-school S&W blueing, haha!!

The finish on this revolver is just amazing. It’s C&R, IIRC made around 1975. I’ve got the original box, too.

Lol I scratched the hell out of the finish on my revolver by using a sandy oily rag. It was perfect when I got it (like two weeks ago) but I feel like it's ruined now

Oh well, guess I'll have to keep shooting it.

Do you reload? I have about 1k in .40 casings without a useful home.

No, I don't load any pistol rounds yet. But I do save my brass, and I have dies for. 40,. 44,. 45, and. 38. Don't know when or if I'll ever start loading for pistol. I have the 03FFL and COE, so I can still get pistol ammo cheaper than loading it myself.

Nah, they are tools, let them show wear.

Haha!! By all means shoot it, that’s what they’re for!!

For used guns, I always stay away from perfect specimens because I want to use them. I never clean my guns, just shoot them until they stop working, then spray some lube and shoot them some more.

My 25-2 was one of the many I’ve inherited over the years. It looks nearly new. And that early 70’s deep blue is just something. It’s almost on the level of a Manurhin MR-73.

There’s no way I would've ever bought it myself, it’s too nice for me, haha!!

I sold off my last HK Expert in .45 last year and then all the .45 ammo. Narrowing everything down to 9mm and 5.56.

Now that I understand. My caliber footprint is completely out of control.

I love handling my Kimber 1911 its beautiful. But shooting it not much range time I must admit, everytime I do take it to the range its really pleasant but for some reason it is not something I look forward to shooting at the moment. I think the consensus has been more towards 9mm lately.
