  1. As other have said it's a little dirty but a very versatile powder. Start low work up and enjoy. For years it was my go to 45 acp powder
  2. There is quite a bit of material on both sides of disco rail that can go away. Ejector is held into frame so hog out all metal you want. Extractor needs support in a couple key areas. Outside those key spots start making chips.
  3. Jason posts semi regularly on the 1911 addicts forum with his current project. .. Lots of high rent "eye candy"..
  4. If you don't want to tri top I would do a "bulls eye" cut in the slide... It's a deep grove cut on bottom of slide in ejector tunnel that cannot be seen until slide is turned over and inspected... Honestly most people wouldn't even notice.
  5. Aluminum grip safety? I assume your running a magwell.. Which 1? Dawson "ice" well is very light....
  6. Hmmmmmm You mean people actually clean their own guns....wow Some of guys I shoot with can't take the slide off their gun.... Keeps the local "smith" busy/happy
  7. Egw is ok Brown is my current favorite I hear stan chen has a new one that is supposed to be the "bees knees"... Any good smith and a "dremel" can get you where you want to be...assuming front strap is also undercut
  8. Titegroup 230gr rn 200gr swc I run coated bullets (bc I'm cheap)
  9. I've been thinking about picking one up as well.. Seems like alot of gun for the $$$$ Keep us updated on how it is overall and how it shoots..
  10. Anyone know if Doug is still taking work? Got an old colt 38 super that needs some love...
  11. Tripp mags all day they seat with minimal effort. My springer will eat 200gr swc and 230 rn no problems.
  12. I've broken 3 sights almost the same way... 2 on single stack 45's 1 on single stack 40.. And my guns never go into ports.
  13. https://www.doublealpha.biz/daa-single-stack-racer-magazine-pouch
  14. Dawson ice is great ....just sucks having to get extended basepads for positive mag seating
  15. I would look closely at the bushing and barrel crown. Good lock up is very important as is the last part of barrel that touches bullet..
  16. I assume I need to remove material on the follower where it comes into contact with the slide stop. I guess you could call it lowering the shelf of the follower. Going to start slow BC its easier to remove more than add back on.
  17. I will try and take a little off of the follower and see if it helps. If not i will give svi a call to try and get some different followers. Thanks for the help
  18. First of all let me say I love this forum and the wealth of knowledge here. Here's the problem I am having I had a 9mm upper built for my edge to shoot in the Pro-Am. So I ordered complete 9mm sv mags to use. The gun runs flawless with all the mags except for occasionally they all lock the slide back with one round still in the mag. I've checked to make sure that its not the bullet nose hitting the slide stop causing my headache. Normally this isn't and issue BC in limited form my gun has the slide stop disabled but for the Pro-Am I want the slide stop to work BC of the 10rd limit. Thanks for any and all help.
