Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Apparently, yes. I tried a 9# recoil spring in a standard 92. It's ridiculously light. The gun shot 'flat' but felt like it was being battered. I would never want to use one in an all steel gun.
  2. I've been using a 12# mainspring and CCI primers for years
  3. Same here. I've been using a 12lb mainspring with CCI primers for at least the last 2 years.
  4. I don't think so but as noted the springs are cheap enough it could be worth trying. I used an Ed Brown 1911 mainspring for a while. I can't remember but I think it was #18 or #19. The trigger pull was not bad but I started to get light strikes maybe around 3k rounds. I don't remember what primer I was using. Easy enough to replace the spring but by then all the lower weight mainsprings were coming out from Wilson. I switched to a #12 spring. I'm sure it's not the lowest possible DA pull weight but at 6.x pounds (which is a guess, I've never measured it) it's definitely shootable as is.
  5. What ammunition were you using? Did you try more than one type? I have a 92X RDO Centurion (purchased new in January) and have only put about 60 rounds through it but I haven't had any problem. I've shot Federal America eagle and reloads with CCI primers.

    LTT holster

    I also use the JM Custom kydex R/C holster. It's well made.
  7. I installed a C&S kit in a 89mm 1911 several years ago and the kit came with instructions that specifically discussed things to check if hammer follow occurs . Did you kit come with instructions? If not, they may be available on their website.
  8. I had an M9A3 but changed the sights and barrel because I didn't need night sights or a threaded barrel. I shoot a 92A1 but it's a bit the red-headed step child of 92s. If I were to buy today I would either get a standard 92X full size and add a Langdon "trigger job in a bag" (or just change the mainspring in the beginning) as the cheaper option or buy from LTT directly.
  9. I've been using a G-Code 'universal' double magazine holder but I ended up ordering 2 single APX pouches from JM Custom kydex
  10. I'm not sure what you mean by "rebuild" but, depending on what you want done, you may not have to send it to anyone. With a couple of YouTube videos and some tools you can install Langdon's "Trigger Job in a Bag" yourself. Berettas (I assume it's a 92) are very easy to work on. I've had work done by Josh at Allegheny Arms and recommend him highly. Plus, if you are in Connecticut shipping to Allegheny could be relatively less expensive than other options.
  11. I do. I use an old Blade-Tech holster and I'm not sure they make them any more for the 92A1. Can't remember what mag pouch. If I were to buy a holster today I would look at Red Hill Tactical.
  12. I used a hammer squaring file to fit a single-sided thumb safety and it made what I thought was the perfect cut. I don't remember where I read about it originally.
  13. I've only had mine for a few months but I wouldn't call a case feeder on a 550 a "mess" at all. As someone noted, it does take time to set up and adjust but once that's done it works. I considered just buying a 650 but I didn't want to spend $1500 or whatever it would take. My production rate has definitely increased; I've had a 550 for many years I think it's a worthwhile upgrade.
  14. Maybe a long shot but measure from the top of the press to the bottom of the operating rod bracket. I can't remember what the distance should be (you can find it in a post somewhere on the site) but the bracket on mine was too low. Once I adjusted it all of the remaining 550 priming "issues" I had were resolved.
  15. I don't remember where I read this but I used a "hammer squaring file" to fit more than one thumb safety and it works perfectly. Brownells has them.
