[QUOTE="edg8687, post: 1076218, member: 8552"] Now that we are talking about it I would love to see the gun, my friend sold it (for a glock!). My suspicion is that the toggle link was worn in a way that allowed the barrel to drop out of the grooves in the slide. We are getting into territory that I suppose a 1911 smith could explain. To be fair to the RIA this could have been a lemon. I didnt think that it was unsafe to fire, but there was greater movement than I had ever experienced with other 1911s. I tend to be a bit of a stickler with fit, (I was spoiled by my dad's Colt Gold Cup and Springer Trophy Match) but I bought the Taurus expecting it to get loose. So far it hasnt with over a thousand rounds feeling closer to the Springers I have been fortunate to shoot (I am in college and guns are low on the list for funds) The RIA GI that my buddy had loosened up after a few hundred rounds. The short break in was well appreciated. [/QUOTE]
