Thank you ranger

Need some 1911 work done for a friend who just picked one up

Anyone know of a really good gunsmith in dallas? I'm not there to help her so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

My deltapoint is back at leupold since it hasnt been holding zero.

All I use is my girlfriends barrel as she has a 40-9 conversion barrel which is very tight. If it fits in that barrel it fits in every other 9mm gun barrel in the house. If it doesn't fit in that barrel they still typically fit in every other gun in the house. I found that using the lee factory crimp die does a much better job than that Dillon die could ever do. If you're still using the Dillon die then you're going to have a bad time.

The one I got was from a tuned 2011 using an svi mag. I dropped it out of his gun and loaded some ammo in it and seated the magazine in my gun. It seated fine but would not allow the gun to chamber a round. There was a little play in the magazine up and down. Not sure if it was just that specific magazine or what.

I can vouch that the svi magazines do not work in the gun. I hav yet to find an sti mag that someone would let me borrow

Hey guys just bought the rock island 51679 (9mm only) and was wondering if someone could tell me what magazine extensions are known to fit and work. I saw that Greg Cote sells the p18 mags for 22 and Rock Island sells the stock one for 40. I figure maybe I could get an extension that adds capacity for around the +/- $40 mark. Can anyone give some insight on what they are using?

I had two squibs out of my first 100 rounds that I ever made on my 650. I haven't ever seen nor heard of a squib and thank god someone experienced was with me at the range and knew what was happening. Both times we went to the ro station and got it cleared. I havent made a squib since then.

I do this at my matches and luckily no one says anything to me about it. Its bad enough my mags have to hit the dirt let alone a round

I would have to say I am a geek however the more gun crap that I buy I feel myself going to the "red" side

So are there some mags that for certain work with 51679? If they have basepads or not does not matter all that much to me. For now anything that holds 17 rounds in multiple mags works.

Thanks a lot I have one similar but not to this depth

I am learning as I go but I have been told a 115 or 124 grain bullet with a slower burning powder is the way to work the comp. Here is a link to the powder burn rate chart that will help you. https://www.hodgdon.com/burn-rate.html
