Re: The 1911, My First Love

Last year at Christmas my bride got me a couple of Tucker HF-1's. One for my Prodigy and 1 for my Colt Defender and other officers models 1911's. This year she got me one for my full size 1911.

I have about 400 rounds thru it. It was one i was hoping to carry. I hear tell it has a break in period of about 500 rounds so i'll be going back to the American Shooting center late next week since they are closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
Try a different brand of ammo
This ^ and make you have good quality magazine. I use Wilson Combat and never had an issue. Magazines fix more 1911’s than gunsmiths.
I have to agree with Carl on this. I have the 4.25" Emissary and was having a similar issue. I changed from factory mag's to Wilson Combat and never dad an issue since. Now, all of my carry mags are Wilson Combat except for my Prodigy.

Re: The 1911, My First Love

I just looked on Galco's website and they may not carry the specific holster Carl was showing for the Sig, they do have several options both OWB and IWB in leather and kydex. I have a couple of Galco's but not for a 1911.
For my 1911's, I have a couple of Don Hume leather holsters, I have a custom made leather holster a friend that is a leathersmith made me and a couple of Kydex by We The People holsters
