I use the Squirrel daddy ones from Amazon they work great and cost about $7 for the roll pin punches, I also use the KAK Walts tool for the bolt catch it's another great tool. For punches I usually just use the ones they sell at any building supply store, If I break one I just buy another.
I've also used Lyman stuff ecently. The SD roll-pin starters so far look like a great value.

Have a Wilson 1911, 45 acp. The slide will lock back with two rounds still in the magazine. This happens now and again with no pattern. If I reload the magazine it will fire fine. Shooting 230 gr round nose bullets seated 1.230. Any thoughts as to where to start looking?
Rounds are hitting the slide stop lobe as they travel up the mag. Remove the stop and look for brass marks on the part that protrudes in the magwell.

What seemed to work for me and my squad was to shoot it in the order of 1-4-2-3, 1-4-2-3 sequence (Outside-outside, inside-inside) to keep it from swinging as much as possible. Didn't really seem to matter if you started on the top row or bottom row. Woe to you if it swung enough so that one of the side weights fell off. At that point you're best bet is to catch a plate when it reached the apex of a swing and hope for the best.
Final consensus was you either liked it or you hated it, depending on how you did. I've since shot it at local matchs, and have crashed and burned as many times as I've cleaned it. So I alternate between liking it and disliking it. -
Nice one. Thanks for sharing

DLC gives a superhard coating that helps lubricity (action feels smoother/slicker), but doesn't necessarily help that much with corrosion protection.
Cerakote will hurt function until it wears in (gummy, sluggish, while you're wearing through it on mating/sliding surfaces). CKote, however, is outstanding for corrosion protection, and is a pretty tough finish in general. Once it wears in it's typically no worse than a standard action (no finish special coating/finish). -
I have owned 2 RMS optics, have a SMSc on my Hellcat and a SMS on a CZ P10C. Never had a problem with any of them.

I’m pretty sure there’s no real difference aside the weight and the barrel length, but they keep making the Titan and charge it less because it’s the first gun they made.
