Redleg06

I've been running one for 4 years in a carbine length gas system Lothar Walther barrel, Young Manufacturing lightweight BCG and I have never had a single issue with it. Even with the short gas system I was able to tune it to shoot soft and not tear up the brass. Unless you're shooting lots of different loads you can set it and forget it. I went with a JP rifles block on another rifle and I am not as satisfied.

SP-01 mags also fit the pre-b pistols, nice 18+1 setup.

I also run the BBI 130gr at 1.1" over Solo 1000. Shoots very well and not too smokey out of my 85 combat and my Shadow Custom.

Is the new trigger plastic? Looking at the kit I can't tell.

I've had my Expert for a few years, and it is a great pistol. When I'm doing my job, I've shot 2" groups at 25 yards, and it cycles everything. For a factory pistol the trigger is great, very crisp and minimal overtravel. If I'm being honest the drawbacks are sometimes it seems a little bulky it is by no means a small pistol and the grips are a little square. My double stack 1911's fit the hand a little nicer. The other drawback is that the checkering is so aggressive that after a good range session it feels like you've been holding a cheesegrater, but there is no way the pistol is going to slip in your hand. This is the most accurate .45 I have ever seen including 1911 pistols that cost a lot more, but like any double action pistol it cannot match the single action trigger pull.

More Data Temp 19F CZ-85 4.25" barrel OAL 1.109 Primer WSP BBI 130 3.6g Solo 1000 Only loaded 3 rounds for load development chronographed at: 1000 fps 1002 fps 1011 fps Same as above but 3.9g 1057 fps 1060 fps 1067 fps I don't know how temp sensitive Solo 1000 is but I thought I'd drop some cold weather info in. Hopefully I can reshoot in warmer temps soon and see how it does. Is Solo one of the weird powders that gets faster as it gets colder?
