BeerBaron Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 brownells sell one you can put through the plunger tube and drill the detent that way. it's a bit pricey but ensures you get the dimple in the right spot. http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/handgun-tools/action-frame-tools/safety-slide-stop-tools/1911-detent-spotting-drill-prod7665.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kk4364 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Arched msh with nitro fin and svi short flat trigger. Perfect! Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnett50 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 On the topic of the right side mag release, I tried one out because I have short thumbs and felt like I lost time on mag changes by regripping. I now have them on my Grundhauser 1911 and infinity 2011. 1 second reloads are no problem on the timer. I even plan on switching the mag release to the right side on my accushadow. For what it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbarnett50 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The other benefit is that you have to take your trigger finger off the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlrock Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Can you use the Dawson tool less guide rod with any spring to tune it, even in 40S&W? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well, the paddle is installed. It's clocked to about 1:30 and there's an extra power mag release spring on the way. No flipping necessary! But might just go the route of the big Dawson button and cut it down since I only need another two millimeters of length over the lopro. Reloads are sitting comfortably in the .8-.9 range in tonight's brief, post-install dryfire, and weak hand is sitting comfortably "off" the paddle.The Nitro Fin has been removed until I can properly do a detent. Went back to flagging my thumbs since it works, why mess with it. And I kinda wish it was further out, so I'll lend it to a buddy in the meantime.Brazos Big Mouth is ordered and on the way. Goodbye beaten up STI magwell!EGW ambi safety is ordered and on the way. Opted against the shielded safeties. Pressing my strong hand thumb up against the slide while riding my STI safety did not result in a malfunction, so I deemed it unnecessary. Weak hand thumb dragging would still cause malfunctions, so still flagging it.Brazos ignition kit is ordered and on the way as well. I had an instance of hammer follow to half-cock at tonight's match. While I replaced the sear spring (because I bought it used, who knows what was done to it), I saw it as a good a reason as any to order up all the aforementioned goodies. Will fit my STI safety to it for a backup, then fit the EGW to it afterward. Undecided if I'll install or a local smith.Sticking with the flat MSH for now, since it's free, blended, and I'm kinda used to it. But now that the paddle is back on, possibilities are endless! Might grab an Arched at some point just to try it out, or steal it from an SS gun. Same goes with the trigger, I might try the gunsmith blank and get creative down the road, but for now I'm turning my Edge into ... a much more expensive Edge haha!
