Difference is one is made of quality spring steel, and one is not.

Put a Colt sear spring in it.

wolf sear spring?

It is a tungsten grey cerakote. So a painted finish.

DSA, its in .40. Thanks!

Great match Steve and the rest of the Bullet Hole crew. The prize table was absolutely top notch. I'll definitely be back for this one next year.

In my limited experience with a 1911 in .45 acp, the POI is the same at 10 yds as it is at 25 yds.

The BEST production option I have seen for a 1911 carry gun is the Wiley Clap Lightweight Colt Commander. They make a very good gun out of the box and with a little help can make a GREAT gun.

I bet that old Glock you yours feels like crap now

Some interesting opinions on smiths. Personally I stake my reputation on every single gun that leaves my shop, there is no room for a mistake. With that being said, I do not give completion dates. I build guns to my standards, I will not build to a deadline. That simply would not be fair to me or my customer. My customer is paying for my best and they deserve it. If I try to rush a job trying meet a deadline, then will that customer really be getting my best......no. For what its worth, if I can build 10 guns in a year, then that would be a very productive year for me. Polize, thanks, and yes I probably spend way too much time fitting a grip safety. However, I do try to take some pride in my work.

Just for a small frame of reference, it takes me 120 - 140 hours to build a gun. The 25 hours mentioned previously is simply unattainable building a gun to my standards. Rodgers and Rogers are in the same boat.

If timed correctly, the series 80 system is actually a very good system. I would not discard it just because.
