Re: Need a thumb safety for 1911?

Looks like I might be wrong. Here's a video about hammer followthrough. It addresses your safety issue at about the 4:00 minute mark.

Re: Need a thumb safety for 1911?

The safety on my Series 70 Colt won't move unless the hammer is fully cocked.

To the OP's question, it sounds to me like there's not enough hammer/sear engagement.

Re: Online gun markets— buy, sell, trade?

Gunbroker.com and Bud's gun shop are still doing business. Not sure what you mean by "Status quo".

Re: Riddle me this- upper fires on one lower but not another.

Do the uppers have the same brand/style bolt carriers? Were they both clean?

Do the lowers have the same hammer/trigger assemblies?

Re: Poland Now Has Mandatory Gun Classes

My neighbor, who grew up in Ukraine back when it was a Soviet satellite state, told me that the military would bring AK's into the high schools to teach everyone how to handle them.

Re: KYL & Ethical hunter Challenge from Erik Cortina

Hitting the 2" target at 500yds would be easier than seeing it with irons. I suspect it would take more intuition and luck than actual skill.
