He's a little fun saga.
A friend ordered a Legion Firearms 2011 last year. Legion uses frames/slides that STI makes for them and are pre-fit (built to Legions spec) before arriving at Legion. Well after Legion had the frame/slide finished in nickel boron and some had Cerakote on top of the NiBx, they would not go back together as the finish changed the dimensions. They had to machine and refinish to get them back together.
On the flip side, a friend had a tightly fit 2011 finished in Cerakote by Chuck Rogers, and there was no issues with the parts going back together.
Moral of the story is to find someone knowledgeable to apply it and you shouldn't have any issues.

I would take a look at STI's

Thanks!!!
I run .100" fronts with a .140" rear notch.
This is on my Tac 4.15 with a Novak style 10-8, but is a closer to actual view of the sights.

if you don't want to run adjustable sights, you can run a Harrison or 10-8 rear fixed sight for the BoMar cut.
I'm running a 10-8, since all my other guns have 10-8's on them.

These are supposed to prevent over insertion of mags.

Thanks,
These are currently out of stock. I ordered one anyhow. Dawson is good about returns if the item doesn't work as advertised. Anyone ever try one of these btw?

I have 3 of them and they work fine. A friend was using my Edge, and broke the ejector, which is why I installed the Posi-Lock. No issues since I made the change. I also have a Tactical 4.15 that I traded for, and it had a broken ejector and I swapped that out as well and haven't had any issues. The 3rd 2011, I installed it from the get go, and haven't had any issues.

not that i know of, since the Gen4 can be swapped for a right or left handed shooter.

watched the video on the prototype on youtube. Looks like it is a much lighter trigger pull than the apex fss.
In that video he wasn't pulling straight back with the trigger gauge, but at an upward angle. This would affect the reading.

Anyone else see those?
not sure how they are worth $265, which is $100 more than the Apex FSS trigger or getting an actual trigger job done.
It must be the Costa Tax that is probably going to be assigned to it.

red...because that's what came installed in the sight.

Align sights. Squeeze Trigger. Am I missing something?
You forgot grip.
I did a 2 day class this weekend, used a 2011, M&P-9 and G17. No issues with being accurate/precise with any of them.

Technically, the trigger spring pulls the trigger up and to the rear (to catch the striker), not forward for reset.
It may be broke or disconnected.
With the slide removed and the trigger in the rearward position, press inward on the connector. It should cause the trigger bar to pop up.

What's crazy is that people are actually bidding!

Not sure if Bobby has shot it yet, but I replaced the GS with an Ed Brown GS, changed the trigger out to a short/flat Infinity and gave it a trigger job (2.5#). I have it so the GS clears the trigger bow sooner, so that should take care of his grip issue. I'm not sure if he's gotten to the range with it, but he might have me blend the thumb safety down. Also didn't blend the contour of the GS yet because it would need to get refinished and he's going to shoot this in a state match in July. yes he knows the mag release button needs to go for ESP.

No experience with the Harrison, but I did get the first 10-8 Modular Rear Sight.
i have pics from the installation in this thread.

Where do you get spacers for STI mags, other than STI perhaps.
You can get metal ones from Shooters Connection and Dawson. You can get STI 9mm follower & spacer (plastic) from the 2 mentioned and also Brownells.

Bobby, I'll adjust the GS for you when I put the trigger in.

10-8 rear with a Dawson FO front

Do you have a vise and calipers?
With some know how, that's how to adjust the tube size. A little goes a long way.

Remove the recoil buffer. Some guns don't have enough room for them.
+1
But could be the mags as well

MSH pin and ejector pin are also different.

They are tight and usually have loctite on the dovetail. I use a sight pusher, so its never been an issue. Another note is that the dovetail cut is smaller than the sight base, so you'll most likely need to file some of the sight base to get the sight to fit. I fit mine probably tighter than the factory.

I'm just waiting on my frame to start my build. The AGI videos are probably the best for watching someone doing a build. There is also the Wilson Combat video and the Gunsmithing the 1911 with Paul Liebenberg DVD. All have useful info.
I think Shooters Connection has slide/frame kits.
Brownells has frames in stock

Do the 10-8 Performance extractor test.
Like the others said, its most likely your extractor.
I have thousands of rounds through my SA Loaded without issue.
If you are getting work done, I would also have the ejector pinned. I've seen a quite a few come loose and cause issues.
