Question about smiths working on 1911s.....

[Crusty1EyedTanker]

Harrison is no longer taking new work so I'll try Ortiz.

That’s too bad, he’s one of the best 1911 ‘smiths in the world. A really good guy too. His full house builds are really just amazing.

I may contact him. From some of his comments to the press on the "ghost gun" (non) issue, he seems like a Super Fudd and just the kind of guy that knows all about 1911s and how to fix them.

Fudds ****ing love 1911's. I mean I do too...but I'm a gen X asshole.

I'm getting ready to pull a loose ejector from my S.A. MilSpec and I fear the leg may be broken off due to how loose it is........Now you got me scared....

It’s possible. SA glues them in rather than pinning it. I’ve seen a few broken, usually from people grabbing them with pliers and trying to pull them out, which usually ends up twisting or bending and snapping the leg. Drilling it out is a pain. Since it is loose, it’s possible that the loctite has just broken free.

They dont call him 1911 Bob for nothing.
He doesnt do the fancy checkering and stippling like some of the big names, but I would put his 1911 work against anyones out there. I have owned some VERY nice custom built 1911's by the biggest names, and Bob's triggers are as good or better. Ortiz is damned good too. Owned a Kimber he re-worked and am still kicking myself for trading it off. That Kimber would run!
