New and first 1911!
Hello guys, so I finally took the plunge and bought my first 1911. What a gorgeously design handgun. I bought the Range Officer from Springfield in stainless steel. Really a beautiful gun. Haven't shot it yet but I plan on doing so this weekend.
Clyde gifted me a pair of buffalo horn grips for it but I cannot seem to be able to remove the grip screws, they're effin tight! Sorry Clyde I will get them on and take some pictures I promise. Anyways pictures below. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0e1341afda.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b37384aafb.jpg |
Congrats. We look forward to the range report

sweet, Pedro. Grip screws may have blue Loctite Just keep trying, but don't strip the head or twist the grip bushing out of the frame
|
congratulations, enjoy it, happy for you!!!

Congrats brother. Now give Mongo a jingle and have him make you some purty grips for it besides the pair that Claude gave you.
VZ grips are great for the range. |

Congrats!
Looks like a nice one. |
The grip screws screw into the bushings which are screwed into the frame. If you have problems drop me a PM. I have the complete Challis set up of tools, bushings, screws, o rings etc. including stripped screw and stripped bushing removal answers. Check out the web site of the master Brian Challis for the best grips and grip attachment gear and how to use them. When you see how cool this stuff is you will want to upgrade your 1911. Enjoy your very nice first 1911. It will lead you to MORE. Honest. You will find you will enjoy the new shoes on her. :) Dennis
