Learn from my mistake on Gunbroker

[Shark1007]

Yes sir, I got the Midway notification this morning. On the Rowland, I haven't shot it yet. The buffer is buffering the inside of the safe. My cervical fusion limits my hot load shooting these days. It's custom 1911 that has a heck of a recoil spring already. I did buy at a reasonable price, but hate to have to fix a "line new" pistol.

My two cents......customize the pistol. I have pistols I won't alter, but ones that have seen their fair share of lead downrange are fair game. Short triggers are my first swap, always, have two on the way. I have much disdain for long 1911 triggers. But, IMO, the trigger is a strong part of the pistol's looks...cannot be just any short trigger!

Thanks, . I sorta suspected you weren't buying shoddy parts. I'm checking this out and making some purchases.

Your tongue can't reach or too soft?

gunbroker is a tough place to buy...I only buy NIB and froma highly rated seller...its tough when you can not touch the gun first I know. Hopefully the gun I just purchased and will pick up today will not have any issues. Its new in box but you still never know!

I tend to agree about buying NIB from GB. I bought one used gun, a Commander for a fair price that was in great shape (stupid GS and SS aside) but feel I got lucky and don't want to tempt fate
