TONY BARONE

In my opinion shooters ditched the Slide ride mostly because of ejection issues. True the micros are lighter and closer to the bore but the slide ride has the best big round window.

Just a Colt sear spring and never tweaked.

1911.com has a wealth of info on 1911 trigger jobs, that site has some of the most knowledgeable smiths on it. My MCG open gun has 80,000 rounds with no follow with a one pound trigger with all original parts. You should never get hammer follow with any trigger manipulation.

The original GSG 9 boots were light weight and very comfortable Jerry Barnhart ran with them but they are no longer made in that configuration . The new variety are more durable but unfortunately too heavy.

You generally need a lot more take up than that to get the half cock to work. He got it to engage but did not see him pull the trigger.

You are trying to diagnose hammer follow naturally you are not going to shoot a gun with that problem in a match. You need a gunsmith.

Hold the trigger forward when releasing the slide with the hammer cocked to eliminate trigger bounce.

ISMI and Wolff main springs a quite different in weight. I use 17# ISMI main springs and change it when I feel it lighten.

Eric has his index finger in front of the trigger guard for a different reason and he applies very little pressure with it. Watched a video with him explaining his grip technique.

My RF-100 is a book end my Pal Filler loads a tube correctly in 10-15 seconds. Its the Cadillac of Primer Fillers.

It's quite a learning curve at 1911 trigger work but with Extreme Engineering ultra Lite sear, Koenig Hammer ,Extreme ultra Lite Disconnect, Colt sear spring, ISMI 17# main spring I still get a 16 oz break with 80,000 rounds thru it and with all original parts. The Extreme Sear is a work of art.

Jerry Barnhart won the Steel Challenge with a Colt Light weight Commander.

Brownells has #400 CCI primers in stock.

I have that oil as well as many others and Extreme Force Weapons lube is my choice. The gun is still lubed after 200 rounds and the lube does not migrate keeping the scope lens clean.
