More care? Don't think so.
Why has OP not posted pics of his new 1911?
One of my personal loves about the 1911 is that for a very small amount of effort (an hour if you're quick, 3-5 if you are a noob and take your time) you can have one of the best trigger pulls of ANY platform. Likewise, regardless of the initial price of the 1911, you can still have an absolutely AMAZING trigger pull.
Rock Island Armory, Metro Arms, or Ruger...or ANY brand, if the trigger isn't superlative to begin with, for the price of a cheap Harbor Freight file and a few hours, it easily can be.
Pretty easy to make the cheapest 1911s trigger feel and work almost as well as $6k custom jobs.
Nice find, MM.
You're welcome. I thought most people knew of that wrench. I've been using mine for several years. IMHO it's the best bushing wrench on the market.
Set it on the table put the push the 1911 into the wrench and rotate. Lots more torque, easy on the hands, and shit doesn't go flying.
Title pretty much sums it up. I'd just like to hear y'all's reasoning or justification for owning one.
What a nice long thread about the 1911.
Having had one myself, I can play devils advocate for you and give you a few reasons why not to get a 1911.
