I have a used set of 2007 GSXR600 forks for sale. All factory parts and internals. Perfectly straight on both legs. Will come with lower triple too. $275 shipped in the US. $250 local pick up. Payment via discreet Paypal or USPS money order. Local pick up must have cash. Thanks for looking.

Exactly. This way, you're not over your head in trying to be in a faster group. It's pretty fun being shadow and push by an instructor.

I have a bunch of heavy ass, 100 year old design, guns. And a couple that can reach out and touch somebody at 100+ yards.

Personally, they're way over price for what you get. Paying for the name. Yes, they're the original 1911 producer, but their QC is lack luster.

GSR's are nice, but I can't stand their styling interpretation of the 1911. You have to get a dedicated holster for the GSR, since normal 1911 holsters won't fit their profile.

That's looking to be the new hot 1911 that's coming out now. However, I'm a little hesitant since there's no track record of Ruger with the 1911 platform. And the two-tone is a downer for me. For around $700, you can have a solid Springfield Armory Range Officer. The ones that I've handle and played around with are really solid! The frame/slide/barrel/bushing fitment is really smooth and tight. This is on par with their TRP pistol, but it doesn't have any of extra stuff, therefore they can keep the price down to around $700. And to boot, SA has a lifetime warranty on their guns, plus superior customer service. If you want a budget 1911, then look at Citadel or RIA for a full-size 45. Those guys have great reviews and a strong following within the 1911 community. Or if you go with the polymer route, I would recommend looking at the S&W M&P45. Those have had a great track record, and the ergos are awesome. I'm actually looking to add a M&P45c to my collection.

thanks for the info.

I would be interest if they have some pistol rounds. How about some 45ACP's or 9mm?

In my ammo cans and loaded in various mags. Loaded mags are loaded to their capacity.

I've done a trackday at Nelson's and it's a great, but scary track. More mental with all of the patches. Good luck and have fun. I too didn't ride to the track, since it's such a physically draining day. You'll thank the trailer at the end of the day.

Show was OK. Bought some ammo and grips.

that's awesome!

+ lots of $$$$ given the SP800 package... Ship their R35 over and then airdrop it back home.

Thanks. Not a Supertuck. Was following up on my prior post about my Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 IWB holster. I just like nice leather for my 1911's. While my plastic pistol is carried in a kydex holster from Raven Concealment.

Supertuck is nice. Here's mine

Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 are one of the best IWB holster.

always a solid base gun for a build.

Accurate is all relative. Are we talking about grouping 5-rounds within a 3-inch circle at 25 yards from a rest or off hand? Or just center mass at 25 yards? I mean, it's a pointless discussion. If one can do the former, it can do the latter. At any rate, my SA Mil-Spec doesn't have a problem with either situation. And if one is to own and shoot a gun, they should be train and know their firearm, period. Regardless if it's a revolver to a semi-auto. And they should be proficient with it. And it's not a toy. I can draw and fire my 1911 just as fast and proficient as my M&P or Glock. And I know all will hit center mass. As I've said before, there's a reason why the term "Glock Leg" is around for a reason. Anything mechanical can fail. Small parts that can fail? One of the main thing that's known to fail, from usage, is the internal extractor. But not from breakage, just from lost of tension. The fix is to remove it, and apply some force to bend it to add more tension. Small capacity? You mean you can't get the job done with 7+1 of 45ACP? Hummm. But then, any reasonable person that carries should always carry a spare mag or two. Good luck to those that likes to have a gun w/ hi-cap mag, but doesn't carry a spare. We'll see what happens when there's a jam in the mag or an issue with the mag. Hopes the bad guy will wait for you to solve your issue. Anyway, I think I'll be OK with my 15 rounds of 45ACP.

and BTW, I've owned my share of Glocks. I actually like their simple lines. Just didn't care for their trigger or grip angle. G22 RTF2, G26 and G19.

Why are grips necessary? They're not really on a 1911, since you can use it w/o grips. My point was that JMB had thought about the use of a rim casing to remove the grip screws. But then why are there different palm swells on the 4th gen Glock and M&P pistol? Never said that one needs to field and/or detail strip their 1911's all the time to keep it working. For those that do are either ADD or have a bad 1911. A Glock doesn't have the tight tolerance as some of the 1911's. Again, this is comparing it against ones that are built tight. And if you said you've handle many 1911's then you will know that the standard GI/Mil-Spec 1911's are pretty loose in production. The looser tolerance is to help with reliability when one is operating in the sandbox or jungle. And if the operator knows better, he/she wouldn't be taking a "match grade" 1911 into the field. And match grade 1911's were designed specifically for shooting in matches. And your comparison of driving a 1911 car to the gun is completely irrelevant. Cars have way more complex parts than the 1911. Every try to change the sear on an M&P w/o any tools? Way to improve and simply.

see if they can just take a portion out of your pay check... :rofl:

Simple yes, in every way. List any of the modern semi-auto firearm that can be completely field and detail strip w/o the use of a tool. Here are some of the ingenius things that JMB did: 1) One can use the rim of a 45ACP casing to take the grip screws out. 2) One can use a 45ACP casing as a temporary spring plug, incase the stock one went missing. 3) the hammer strut is used to drift out the mainspring housing pin. 4) the sear spring can be use to remove the mag catch lock. Try to field strip and detail strip a glock or a M&P pistol with out the infamous glock tool or a punch. Yeah good luck with that. And Glock's Perfection...is on its FOURTH GENERATION. And there's a term call "Glock Leg" for a reason. You don't hear "1911 Leg." Oh, yeah, that thumb safety is SO hard to train to flick it when drawing from a holster. If they're just great target shooter, then why is the FBI and other Special Ops team choose the 1911 as their side arm? I'm not saying other semi-autos are subpar, just the fact that the 1911 has been around for 100 years is a testament to how great, simple and timeless the design is. And not bashing your choice of carry weapon. You have your reason, and I have mine.

Just heard that the other day too. Can't wait to see it open.
