Beyond it All

Beyond it All (9/11)

  1. Wolff will cheerfully sell you a "calibration pak" of several different springs so you can pick for function and feel. https://www.gunsprings.com/Semi-Auto+Pistols/COLT/1911+GOV'T+PISTOL/cID1/mID1/dID1#799
  2. Emphasis added. "Hey, I am Authorized Personnel." At least he is not the cop who refused to unload his off duty gun at a match "I am required to be armed at all times." Wishy-washy MD let him shoot. At least he is not the guy(s) with the pocket gun "If they don't know I have it, they can't tell me to unload it."
  3. The Box is cut away to let a CO protrude, dimensions apply to the bare gun.
  4. It can be a trap for inexperienced shooters, our latest recruit was disqualified for leading the way out of a tight spot muzzle first.
  5. Sidebar Now that we have IDPA SSP 15 and USPSA Production 15, I asked the MD/AC yesterday if he thought IDPA would increase Division Capacity for ESP/CO. He would not comment. On the one hand, that would obsolete a lot of single stacks, on the other hand, it would create an arms race, selling a lot of sponsors' guns. On the gripping hand, I tried SSP 15 when it first went in but soon returned to ESP 10 so I can remember where to reload.
  6. A friend got lucky on his, barrel and magazines were good, feeding reliable. He put in one of those Nighthawk package action devices and came out under 3 lbs.
  7. Titegroup is probably the best of that list for light loads. I use Bullseye.
  8. It did indeed JUST fit. Had to take off the powder measure and seating die to get it on and adjusted. Three or four hours over two days. I wouldn't do that again for pay. Pro: It lets me load while seated with the 1050 on the bench, standing had gotten painful. Con: Filling the bullet feeder "gatling magazine" is tedious. Magazine tubes won't hold 25 each, so I am now going to be loading in 80 round lots. If I stay with it, I will get another tube bundle.
  9. Cinched down. It has only missed one case and that may have been operator error while working on the @#*** bullet feeder.
  10. A friend has one on order to replace an unsatisfactory pistol of another brand. We shall see.
  11. My Super 1050 .45 ACP's case feeder will sometimes fail to get the rim under the shell plate lip. The case feed plunger is clean and waxed. It misses less often if I slow the upstroke on the handle. Is there an adjustment or modification to hit the plate reliably?
  12. Will the cheap Lee Inline Bullet Feeder work on a Super 1050? Clearance looks tight under the case feeder bowl. I guess one could shorten the bullet magazine tubes but I would not want to get below 100 = 17 .45ACP in each of six tubes. ETA Nobody? I finally found my way around the Lee site to a video and literature. Looks like it will just fit.
  13. A friend has his eye on one to replace his disappointing metal M&P.
  14. A lot of the Cool Guys here start in a gunfighter crouch with their gun hand near the gun butt and their off hand hovering over their crotch.
