The M1911 is and has been one of the most popular handguns in the country for well over a hundred years. Despite the fact that it is over a century old at this point, the platform’s rock solid construction, reliable, smooth action and predictable trigger, among its other attributes, make it a perennial contender for “best handgun” overall. M1911 pistols have seen such popularity among military, paramilitary, law enforcement officers and even civilian shooters that they have spawned nearly countless variants and “remakes.” Among the many M1911-inspired handguns that have been remade are those that were produced by Rock Island and Para Ordnance. Some of these 1911-inspired designs offer shooters the ability to enjoy an experience that is nearly identical to a 1911, but without the classic price tag. Some of these producers, such as Para Ordnance, are actually defunct, and are no longer in production. However, because they produced quality handguns and parts for so long, there are many...

Looking for a new pistol frame , whether you are interested in one because you want to make an upgrade to a current handgun or because you want to create a new one from scratch, can be a very involved process. Frames are not simply “accessories” in the same sense of the word that some other gun accessories are, and you need to take very special care when searching for or purchasing them. There are a couple important reasons for this for which you need to be aware. One is that not all pistol frames are compatible with handguns from the same line, even if advertised by the same name. The perennial favorite M1911, for example, one of the most popular handguns in the world and one that has inspired countless imitations, does not take one single frame. There are several M1911 variants, and a “1911 pistol frame” is not a catch-all term. You need to be certain that the frame itself is 100% compatible with the handgun you currently own, especially if you intend to bre...

Some military collectibles are in higher demand than others. Consequently, it is not always easy to come by the parts, accessories and collectibles you want on demand. Much of the time, stumbling up something you’ve been after for a while is more a matter of luck and having your eyes open than it is about your prowess in shopping. Some might say the case could be made for the M5A1 bayonet , which is a variant of the M5 bayonet that was designed to be used with the M1 Garand rifle. It has been said that the M5, and subsequent variants like the M5A1 bayonet (designed during the Korean War), were designed to be easier to mount to the M1 with cold weather gear. Whatever the case, the M5 and variants are very recognizable from the prominent absence of a barrel mounting ring that many bayonets in the past were made for securing to the barrel. Using a mount ring was a commonly used practice for a long time, and many bayonets today still affix via the use of a barrel ring. Either way, the M...

Just take a look at the title of this article for a minute or two. It can be answered so simply with just a single statement. You should get your antique gun parts at Sarco, Inc. simply because they have them! What better reason could there be for that?

How are you going to come up with those things? What if you don’t even know what to look for because you don’t know what you’re missing? That brings up an entirely new question, which is who can help you when you don’t even know what questions to ask.

Any magazine fed firearm opens up the possibility of collecting spare magazines and keeping them on hand for when they are most needed. Let’s face a simple truth. If your rifle or pistol is fed from a magazine and the magazine is missing, then you basically have a very expensive single shot pistol that is difficult to keep clean. If the mag isn’t working because some springs are worn out or it has deformed, that problem might be even more frustrating. At any rate, it isn’t something you should have to deal with. Look for pistol magazines for sale for the following purposes and assure yourself of the conditions that follow! 1. Keep spares for the range - Loading up magazines is annoying and frustrating work and after time it will make your thumbs and wrists very sore. Anyone who enjoys burning brass at the range is probably also familiar with the lack of enjoyment that comes from loading mags instead. You can burn through a 15 round mag in all of 8 seconds if you’re really going for ...

In the event you have stumbled across this article and have never heard of the term Para Ordnance before, that wouldn’t be entirely too bizarre. It might also mean you’re looking for information on Para Ordnance instead of a Para Ordnance frame for sale . Here’s something you have heard of before - the 1911 or the M1911, known widely by the popularity and huge number of variants it has spawned. The original 1911 and all of the offshoots that have come about as a result of it, is a basic model that is one of the most popular handgun platforms ever designed. The original M1911 was developed over a hundred years ago to replace the aging double-action .38 caliber revolvers that U.S. troops were using at the turn of the last century. The new M1911 not only had a better capacity and was capable of a high rate of fire, it was chambered in a cartridge that has become as famous today as the 1911 is: the .45 ACP cartridge, which represented a significant improvement over the ...
