It’ll cost way more money, but if you change your optic to a rts2 or similar the entire back of the slide is exposed to grab on to and you don’t need a racker

A couple of decades ago kings gun works made a bevertail safety that didn’t have the pocket for the hammer and looked a bit shorter I have no idea if anyone copied the design, but you might check carry gun builders if they offer it

Email them i had a question about running a caspian in their ultimate ghost holster and they replied quickly

I’ve used blues in pcc and open, no problem with leading in the barrel or comps

Springs pin set slide stop firing pin stop firing pin barrel link set if you upgraded any part, trigger group, safeties,etc throw the take off parts in your bag and hopefully a friend with a spare gun you can borrow

Get this https://hoyhoyusa.com they carry them at Costco and put them where roaches hide indoors in cabinets, under the stove and refrigerator, on your kitchen counters etc change them out weekly, after a while you’ll notice the roaches will slowly disappear

Caspians are great guns, but you gotta know what you’re getting into, there are 3 generations of frames 1st gen, large frame opening under the grips and were prone to cracking, caspian and other gunsmith fixed it by welding reinforcement plates in the weak areas, the dust cover is standard 1911 thickness, so it can be a bit thin for mounting single sided optic. Easiest way to ID is 1st gen frames have a rounded trigger guard 2nd gen, square trigger guard, the frame opening is solid with 2 holes on each side, dust cover is still thin 3rd gen, square trigger guard, thick dust cover similar to a sti aftermarket part are almost nonexistent, no one I know of makes magwells anymore, or triggers mags can be a issue, the original mags with the satin nickel finish are great, I’m still running a few that have been in constant use since 1994 and have outlived 2 open guns, they look like they were dragged behind a moving car, but still work perfectly mbx mags are good and pricey, and not all ways in stock tangfogilio large frame mags and be modified to use in the caspian, but base pads must be modified also

I’ve got the comptac pouches, the pouches are ok, but the plm belt attachment is a joke, I’ve had them unlock and open while sitting and walking around, and yes the thumb piece was in the locked position.

if you got a stream of rounds coming out of your mag Something else to check take the top end off the gun and put a loaded mag in the lower does the bolt catch touch the back of the rounds in the mag if yes that can also cause misfeeds and file it down until it no longer touches

I tried the TF followers and it didn’t make a difference I had the best luck with uncoated mag, most of my coated Brownells mags wouldn’t feed until I trimmed the followers

Question, what brand mag and did that combo work before i have a couple of the taylorfreelance base pads, 1 works flawlessly, the other not so much the one that works I swapped out mags until I found one that works with the base pad, I need to do that to the other one but I’ve been lazy if you have metalform mags, which includes PSA and Brownells, I couldn’t get the coated Brownells mags to feed. I then saw the metal tab on the back of the follower that activates the bolt catch were tilted slightly to the right, I rounded off the sharp right corner of the tab and that fixed my feeding problems

I’ve been running blue bullets in 38SC, 9 minor, 40 and 45 with good results, the only reason I don’t use them in my major 9 gun is I want a visual clue so I don’t mix my ammo up with my minor loads I’ve pushed 115 gr blue bullet to 1500fps thru my old supers with no leading in the barrel and minor build up in the comp, looking thru the ports of my hybricomp barrels, I’d see a streaks of blue in the grooves but no leading they also take less powder to make PF than jacketed in my experience, they’re cheaper, use less powder and preform about the same as fmj and plated

The recalled guns have a thinner trigger, they also milled out a small cut out on the slide and left it in the white at least on my gun

Call Dillon it might be a timing or alinement issue, at least it was on mine

Check out sage dynamics on YouTube, he does testing on red dots, guns etc from a duty/carry perspective romero 2

Not stepped, berdan primed, note the 2 flash holes

It’s like everything else that’s “collectible” it’s worth what’s someone is willing to pay for it

I watched the 1st video and noticed with slide in battery and the TS in the up position, the back of the slide is flush with the back of the frame, with the slide stop removed and the safety fully in the cut out the slide appears to be slight forward of the frame. It might be the camera angle, but if what I’m seeing is correct don’t touch the standing lugs on the barrel, I’d do what donnyglock suggests, also work on the cheapest part 1st which is the TS

I do something similar i line the bottom of an old refrigerator ice maker tray with the plastic inserts from cci blazer 40/45 ammo boxes And dump the brass in and roll them back and forth, about 90% ends up with the case mouth facing up then inspect for cracks, berdan primed, stepped also it makes it easy to spot 40 and 380 in your pile of 9 flip it over to a empty tray and look for crimped brass it take me about 5 minutes to do 350 case

It might be the old item? target My club started in the mid 80’s and used the Florida 8 until they were outlawed in favor of the current USPSA target i seem to remember the Florida 8 had a smaller A zone than the item target with the rumor being that it was set by placing a plate or pie pan on the target and using to draw the circle

Thank all of you, I am honored but truth be told, I’ve learned much more than I have contribute and obviously I don’t have much of a life

Our club has the same “improved” poppers, quick n dirty solution stick a 2x4 ether flat or standing on its side under the rear channel iron feet and use pins to hold it place this will raise the back of the popper high enough for the hook to grab

The guns nice but that shield is awesome
