Indeed!

What was involved with the installation?
Drifting out the stock trigger group pin, put the speed chute inplace & install the new supplied pin. Fits like a glove, even with my modded port.
Ralph really did a nice job on these.
Having run his chutes on M1/2's and the VM, at first I was wtf?,when I seen the newer type design (tangs sticking down).
I just got back from testing, within no time I was hitting loads with the gun shouldered, something I could never do consisently with the others.
It's also tapered nicely around the safety, rotating the gun ejection port up, guides my middle finger to put the safety back on.
We'll see how much blood is shed come match time (gotta bleed in 3gun, right?), but so far I'm liking it.
I'm curious about whether you made any other mods to the gun/speedloaders to get it to load smoothly. I'm running a 1301 with the Arredondo chute and Arredondo speedloaders. I have trimmed the tongues to length so the lifter is fully depressed just as the speedloader tube is fully inserted into the hooks on the chute. But I find that cartridges (58mm OAL) tend to catch on the bottom of receiver as they exit the speedloader, instead of going neatly into the magazine. They are hitting on the bottom just where the magazine tube is pressed into the receiver. The problem disappears when I add some material to lengthen the feed in funnel into the magazine, hence supporting the nose of the cartridge until it enters the magazine tube. Am I missing something or do I need to make some permanent receiver mods??
