I read somewhere else on this forum that someone had bought some used 40 cal mags from CDNN I think and they were using them with their 9mm I dont know if it would work or not.

I have loaded a lot of Fiocchi brass for practice ammo. I do not keep count of number of times reloaded but have not had any issues as of yet

I had a red dot put on mine now. Have not shot it much lately but still fun to take out once in a while

You might check the rear sight to see if is marked Behlert. I had Austin build me a bowling pin gun in 79 has the same type comp with a 2 piece guide rod. Had Swenson safety and slide release with about 1.75 lbs trigger with grip safety pined. Cost about 1500 back then

I would say to get any of the higher end 1911 and shoot it a lot and learn to maintain it my 1950's national match had over 30,000 on first bbl. Gun finally gave up after over 100,000. I now have Kimbers and Colts both good guns.

I like the L frame over the N frame for competition, I have shot several deer and hogs with a 686 I prefer the 4 inch barrel.

I use a 002 also, you don't need the ELS system I have a gilmore belt that I use. I had to put a block of wood in the holster and leave it lay out in the sun for a week. I shoot a K frame Smith with 6 inch bull barrel with a tasco red dot on top

I was able to find a mechanic's tear down bench from the local Freightliner shop. 6ft long weighs 250 pounds all steel very sturdy

I have been using Mobil 1 for years. As for cleaning if the gun is real dirty I will strip it down and put it in the table top Parts cleaner full of mineral spirits overnight use an air hose to finish up next day clean as a whistle

I carried a model 28 for several years. Used a breakfront holster. Always amazed other officers how fast it was brought into play.I like my autos but I still own more wheel guns than autos

I am thinking of dragging out an old k frame open gun to shoot the local matches this summer. May even make it up to Kansas City some weekend if things work out. Can't shoot the cup this year not enough vacation and may not have enough seniority to get that week off later.

I would think their 6 inch would make a little more speed than your 5 inch. The data I could find showed 775 which would be good if through a 6 inch but very close at 760.
