No love for Ed Brown ? I’ve owned 3 Wilsons and 4 Nighthawks but my Ed Browns have been keepers .

No Love for the S&W Pro series 19111 in 9mm ?

Who makes replacement guide rods / springs for Gen 5 G17/34's and also G19's? I'm a little confused because a cpl folks told me that Gen 4 RSA's also works in Gen 5's what confuses me is that Gen 4 and gen5 factory RSA's have different part numbers so how can they be the same?? my thanks in advance

M1A4Me you DO NOT have a half cock "NOTCH" you have a ledge which will not hold the hammer if it slips..... https://www.hoopergunworks.com/tag/hammer/ the above link will explain the difference.

Think I'm going to pull the trigger and buy one . Web site doesn't say is the finish a poly coat or DLC ?? Any issues with these BEFORE I spend $1800 ?? my thanks in advance PS any advice on mags/springs, etc would be appreciated!!

a lot of folks remove the parts and put a spacer block in the frame BUT the dumb shits don't realize the 80 hammers do NOT have a half cock notch IF you have to do it get a series 70 hammer OR just sell it and buy an original design model.

Winchester white box has a 185 FMJFP that'll just make 165 - 168 PF.

My sincere THANKS!

Ok went to LGS and it got confusing. They had a nice selection but kid behind counter was clueless, no criticism as so was I !! They had a serious selection over 20 models which led to some confusion. I have an old CZ75 and was thinking of getting something a little spiffier. Looked at CZ TS Orange and SP01 Shadow orange....... looked like almost the same model is one an older version or ????? He tried to talk me into a Shadow 2 Blue ? Guess it was called that because of the blue grips on it?? What's the basic diff's between these or is there something else I should look at ?? my thanks in advance

On a full size G17, and even a compact G19, I find the gen 4 without any added back strap points much more naturally after shooting a 1911. the Gen 3's drove me nuts!!!!!

In that scenario you are maintaining pressure on the trigger which keeps the contact surfaces from bouncing off themselves when the slide slams forward....... that's what saves the kitties!

It seems some really don't understand how a 1911 functions and are giving bad advice........ every time you drop the slide on an empty chamber without holding the trigger down you allow the contact surfaces of the hammer and sear to literally bounce against each other......what's that $100+ trigger job worth and that's if you don't ruin the contact surfaces. And NO you don't do it every time you go to slide lock, when you drop the slide on a new mag the stripping off of the round slows slide velocity so as to not cause DAMAGE.....YES I said DAMAGE Don't compare a standard GI or production 1911 against a finely tuned 1911 where the hooks are already ground to around .022 there's very little contact surface left to begin with and grinding them down more by slide bounce ( or worse chipping them),isn't going to help any. Do as you wish with your 1911 just don't give bad advice to others.

KRAJ that's what I was thinking but can't afford another mistake. I just saw Shooting USA carry optics special and it looked like JJ was using the ZEV hexagon so i think I'm OK with that one. Will order another slide for the Dragonfly and I should be good to go. my thanks

OK so a ZEV dragonfly is not legal due to slide lightening cuts but would a Zev Hexagon be legal? These are no slide cuts other than the RMR so I'm thinking yes, but...... hopefully a USPSA CRO will chime in before I buy it and can't use it. Worst case 17 MOS here I come....... my thanks in advance
