Were you using Federal Primer? Tnx.

I got my springs from Wolff... gunsprings.com

-Steel/ss guide rod -Wolff 11lb/12ld recoil spring -Mag release button from 92 stock--the one from Elite is hard to find -15lb 1911 hammer spring--i prefer this compare to a D spring -a little bit of polishing

Thanks; i'll also try that when i get home from work. Thanks again!

Thanks; i'll try your suggestion this afternoon. And yes, i can still lock the slide and operate the take-down lever. Tnx.

Guys, I need your suggestion. I've replaced the recoil spring of my gun's 5/16" tungsten guide rod (uncaptured) with a wolff XDM 14lb spring. The gun is still working and I'm able to finish a match without any problem; but I'm now having trouble removing the slide from the frame. Thanks for the suggestion; and i'll definitely start using a 3/8" guide rod with an XDM spring, when I resolve this issue.

Try ghost mag pouch. I've used it for the first time yesterday; and it's very good--smooth & has a great retention.

I've had better result by using a 15lb hammer spring for a 1911. I use Federal primers; so I'm not worried about light hits. Skeletonized hammer will help too; but i'd rather use the one from Elite model.

My mag release button initially felt heavy; but after a lot of dry fires/usages, it started to feel normal. Give it some time. Glock can definitely be more lighter; but you can also accidentally drop your mag while shooting.

Ghost--great price.

Nobody has challenged me on it yet; probably because they are more curious why i'm still shooting a Beretta. The good thing is, it's more easier to prove that it's a legal part for a production gun. Regarding SSP, I don't shoot IDPA; but I hope you can use it. Good luck!

I use it on my Production gun; it's from 92 Stock, which is on the approved list. I have to admit, however, that it's very expensive for a mag release.

For me, there's not much difference on the handling; but I prefer the trigger on the XDM over the G34 (even if my trigger jobs were both professionally done).

I've tried to order one from J&G; and I was told that it's not approved in my state (MD). ?

By any chance, do you know Dawson's part number for it? I've just called them; and their Customer Service is giving me a mag release for a 2011 (part#013-003) I've initially referenced a part#519-1552 from a previous post; but it's not a good #. Thanks again!

I got one from dawson's 3 weeks ago

Thanks. I'll call them.

I'm planning to get one from J&G; is the extended mag release still availabe at this point?

Congrats! I've been inquiring about XDM for a few weeks now; I'll go ahead and order it as well. Noel

Ammo might be too long. Try a flat point; it resolved my issue w/ the same type of gun.

Definitely use a caliper; I prefer dial over electronic, but they'll both do the job. Also, use a flat nose/truncated cone bullet or a hollow point; this will give you an ammo length of approx. 1.09" to 1.10"--it solved my problem when I was having the same issue.

Congrats on the new press! I've also just received my 1050 today; so thanks to Brian, for a great deal--free shipping and bullet tray, not to mention the luck of having a Saturday FedEx Ground Delivery.

You already have a good set-up. If you are not happy with the trigger-pull of your gun, you can just buy a trigger-kit from Vanek, Glockworx, Bobby Carver, etc.--this would still cost way less than $660.

My vote goes to Adidas Men's Turf Hog LE Mid Baseball Cleat. I think the down-side of finding the right shoes is, you don't really get to find out whether you have made the right decision in selecting a good pair until after you've used it; and it's already too late to return it. So, just like what Jim Norman said, take 20-30 minutes to try it in the store (you can also go technical on it by figuring-out your arch-type first). --Noel

GREAT JOB!!!
