• Q: First time owner with a 1911 Just want to know what kinds of Compensators or Muzzle brake will fit into this 1911

  • Answered
  • Asked 03/21/2019 10:28 by Dillon H

  A:

  Dillion - There are compensators on the market for 1911s which merely replace the barrel bushing. There is no threading of the barrel required ... But since you're new to 1911s, I would suggest you try shooting this one for at least a bit before you install a compensator. In over 40 years of shooting 1911s I've never felt the recoil really needed any 'compensating', but you might feel differently. You would need one for the 'government' size. Here is one source. https://www.valkyriedynamics.com/collections/1911-compensators

  • Asked 02/23/2019 08:00 by James C

  A:

  James, This firearm will handle whatever 45 ACP round you throw at it. I would run a couple hundred rounds of your self defense ammo to make sure it cycles 100%-100% of the time.

• Q: Always wanted a 1911. Is this a good CCW pistol? Currently carry a S&W M&P .40

  • Answered
  • Asked 11/02/2018 03:19 by William M

  A:

  No it's very big and the square butt prints under a shirt. The Commander size 1911 with the round butt is a good option. This ATI is not a round butt but is a good option for a low price.
