Oh that’s a good idea! I have another 1911 with a full length steel guide rod that I could do that with. Or even pull the one from my Glock and tape it to the bottom of the dust cover. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the info. I noticed a big difference with the one in my Glock. Also, I’m pretty sure guide rods are drop-in on a 1911 but can you confirm?

Sorry if this has been discussed before but i didn’t come up with much searching here. I picked up a Kimber Rapide awhile back, thinking I’d branch into single stack. So far, I’m really happy with with it. But I noticed it has a short guide rod in it. My other 1911 has a steel full length guide rod and I don’t notice a huge difference between the two. And I have a tungsten guide rod in my CO Glock 34 which I really like. Given the weight of a steel frame 1911, is there a noticeable difference with a tungsten guide rod and is it worth the $100?

I was looking at the DAA magnetic holsters. I like the slim and speedy nature of them (not that I’m good enough for it to really matter much). Ever had a mag fall off with one?

I it was an option that appeared in the DAA rig builder. Since they don’t sell the BOSS hanger and that’s what I have on my CO rig, it’s what I’m familiar with.

I’m looking to expand my horizons and want to try shooting single stack USPSA since I really like shooting my 1911s. Double Alpha has a Labor Day sale going right now so I figured today might be a good time to pick up a belt rig. Any recommendations on which holster to choose? Looks like the DAA options are the PDR-Pro II or the Max IDPA. I could also do the IDPA PDR and get a BOSS hanger. And I think I’d need 5 mag pouches, right?
