Knight705 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 *sigh* Finally finished the 18" AR and was going to install a suppressor muzzle device on it and my Tavor X95. Of course my only tube of Rocksett has solidified. So rifles back to storage and ordered a jar of Rocksett. Why are you using rocksett on muzzle device? I use anti-seize on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowser51 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I don't want the muzzle devices coming off when I remove the suppressors. I move my centerfire rifle suppressors from rifle to rifle. Too expensive to buy dedicated suppressors for each weapon. I have one .30 cal, one 5.56, two .45, two 9mm and four .22LR suppressors. The rifle ones are the ones I move around. The pistol ones are all direct thread and cheaper so I can dedicate them to certain weapons and my kids don't like sharing.

Most major companies that produce quick detach silencers recommend using rocksett when attaching the muzzle device to the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amusa Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) My wife want a gun now. I be sighing her up for that stupid MD HQL that I think it's BS. I'm thinking to get her a Beretta 96A1 or 92FS. Depends on witch one she feel more comfortable with. I be in the market this spring/summer for a Glock 17 or 19 and I have not made up my mind between the two. I still need to get a gun safe. I'm trying to find a legal way to bring in a Russian AK47 into my state. If that means I have to apply for a collector license. I will do it.

chowser51 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 she feel more comfortable with. Have her hold them all before buying. The Berettas might be too thick. The gen4 Glocks without Backstraps might fit her better. But she might not have any issues at all. Just let her try first. Now my tiny 19yr old daughter in law and my even tinier 14yr old daughter have no issues shooting my Beretta 92 or my Glock 21. Neither can grip the Beretta correctly for the first DA shot but have no issues shooting it SA. I'm giving my 92F to my son which is why I started my daughter in law on the Beretta. My own daughter has already "claimed" my Glock 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight705 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Because that is what you are supposed to use when mounting suppressor compatible muzzle devices Huh, didnt know that.

Norm Peterson Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) So I was restocking myself with ammo for the Mini-14 and purely on a whim I picked up a Kimber Two-Tone 1911 in 9mm with a 5" barrel. For being several ounces heavier than my son's XD-S it actually felt lighter and more natural with a nice smooth feel to its operation. I'm thinking real serious about picking it up, so does anybody have any direct personal experience with Kimbers? Supposedly Kimber has made all the extractors internal, which I have heard was a problem in the past. I'm in NJ, where CC is damn near impossible to get, so I'm specifically looking at the 5". Didn't seem to be a bad price, well under $800, and I'm not looking at starting a big pistol collection.

Norm The true diehard 1911 fans don't like the external but I also have a 1911Sc with external extractor. Earlier models of my 1911Sc the pin would work it's way loose falling down and cause issues but that design flaw has been fixed for my gun. LOL yeah I was stationed at JB MDL so I know your pain. I refused to move there so I stayed here in Ohio and commuted for my weekend drills and stayed in hotels when I was there on long orders. Guns stayed home since even my hollow points are a no no there. Even the NYPD guys who came down for frill would get hassled for hollow points. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) As an update - I looked at a few more 1911's yesterday and came away very impressed with Springfield's Range Officer (in 9). A bit pricier (still under $1k) but has an adjustable rear sight and a stronger warranty should I ever need that. New leading candidate.

RooTBeeR Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That roster is pissing me off. I found a good deal on a few pistols, ready to buy...Looked them up, and they are on the roster...

Schrei Wolf Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I'm not really a fan of Kimber, I feel like you're paying too much for their product. Dan Wesson, or Springfield Ranger Officer or the TRP would be a much better 1911 for the money. In your case I would look at the Sig 938. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimber was top flight when they first came out, and Dan Wesson was a cheap POS... I do agree Kimber has slipped a bit. Springfield Range Officer is a solid 1911, TRP is great if you want to spend that much. Honestly, the Ruger is a pretty good gun at the price point. Anything under $12-1500 in a 1911 may require a bit of work to really run well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Kimber has slipped a bit, imho. In the 90's they were hot shit and most of their guns had a "custom" touch to them. The Raptor comes out of the "custom" shop. Its not their run of the mill (meaning I hope it would be tad better). Retail is $895 and that price is in line with what you get. The Micro 9 however is not a "1911". It is a 1911 "style", not a true 1911. It would be blasphemy to acquire a true 1911 chambered in anything other than .45cal. I am ok with the 9mm as it is not a true 1911 and Kimber has openly shown the differences to be sure. I was initially intrigued by the diminutive size of the gun (for holding 6+1 rounds). My twisted thought process on display, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 1911's work best in .45 ACP. Period. Followed by .38 Super or 9x23 Winchester because the cartridges are long enough they don't get out of whack on the feed ramp like a 9x19 often can. The 10mm also works but is hard on the frame. If you want a 1911 that works like Browning intended: buy a 5" barreled version in .45 ACP with no guide rod, a 16.5lb to 18lb recoil spring, and no cast or MIM parts assembled by someone who knows what they're doing. If a medium bore is a must then get the same 5" gun in a .38 Super or 9x23. Any deviation from that cartridge length or barrel length reduces reliability and forgiveness in the system and increases the amount of skill and care required to assemble one that runs correctly. This can still be accomplished reasonably with the 4.25" commander sized guns. Anything shorter and it's a total crap shoot. Any cartridge shorter than .45 ACP/.38 Super and it's also a crap shoot. If you want a 9mm that is single action and a Browning design buy a Hi-Power. Otherwise the SIG P226 SAO is a good alternative particularly the Legion model.
