Anyone here into firearms?

Speaking of 1911 mags, any of you guys willing to part with some of your old/worn out 1911 mags? Been wanting to make some speed loaders for my .45ACP Ruger Blackhawk. My plans were to buy some "officer" 6 round mags cut down the spring and mod the feed lips to make them easier to use as SAA revolver speed loader. TBH I'd rather mod some worn out mags than brand new ones.

I know I don't have any worn out 'officer' mags, that one is still going strong. I'll poke around and see if I've got some 1911 ones that I've swapped springs & followers on and that didn't fix em. I'll PM you with the results.

True, but it's going to be awhile until the next gun show.

Hope this virus burns out soon.
