This is an awesome thread! Great shooting guys!!!

I loaded a couple of thousand 45s on my LNL without it and never again. Hornaday one shot case lube makes the job so much more pleasant with much less effort. For seven bucks a can, I will never run out of it.

Ahh, the post that started it all...
we set a popper up at 352 yards (measured with a bushnell rangefinder). i believe the popper was 10". the dirt was dry and loose so you could see bullet impact and adjust accordingly. there were four of us there and i was the only person who said that my friend would hit the popper in less than 3 magazines. he was shooting a wilson 1911 with 8rnd mags. long story short he hit the popper in less than the prescribed 3 magazines. he did this twice. the second time he did it within the next two mags. ...
The lucky idiot who did it was the me. Even a blind squriel finds a nut!
LOL 352 yards with a .45 1911? Now you are shooting a pistol like a mortar!!!!!! The bullet was under powered flight half of the way there and then just fell back to earth.
My avatar is the pistol.
I can hit a 10 steel plate 5 out of 6 times or better (regularly) with my single six at 100 yards. 10 inch steel plate that is! (off a rest)
Welcome to the forum buddy!
Glad to be here!

Hence, I only use the FCD for jacketed bullets. Standard taper crimp die (Redding) for lead and moly coated. Your tests may illustrate differently.
That mirrors my experiences exactly. But I only use the FCD on rounds that won't gauge.
The 200gr wadcutter feeds great and at 9 cents apiece, it is hard to wrong.

I doubt that Ed is building guns with bad slides, although I don't own one.
What kind of problems did you have with your Wilson?

A very good friend of mine has a Champ Operator and it is an excellent shooter.
No FPS and a ramped barrel make it a winner in my book.
It is almost as nicely finished as my TRP Operator and has a little lighter trigger. It is tight, good barrel fit, bright night sights and nice and light at 31 oz unloaded backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty.
Unless kimber switched over to a ramped barrel on their aluminum framed models, it wouldn't even be on my consideration list.

...When a $500 gun is loose like a GI, you can fit the frame to slide and change the fire controls, springs, hammer, barrel, safeties, sights, MSH parts, slide lightening, checkering accurizing, etc. $500 later, you have a custom Springfield that will embarrass a nighthawk or even Wilson...
Its hard to put back metal where there is none.
I'm pricing out parts for a build, and spec'd out mostly wilson parts and have over 600 dollars in parts. Throwing 500 bucks at a 550 dollar gun most of the time equals a 1000 dollar gun. Not a 2000+ gun.
Start out with junk and end up with junk. It is really hard to do it the other way around in a cost effective manner IMHO.

Twins
in The Gallery
Julia Margaret & Alice Victoria
Born 05 Nov 2010 at 4:05 and 4:06...3lb 15oz & 3lb 12oz...both were 17" long.
Wow congrats. Your two are so tiny!
I'm a twin, but I was 6lb 5oz, and my bro was 5lb 9oz. We were 6 mins apart.
Almost the same birth day too. Mine Nov 7th.
Wow! Beautiful pics!

Here is my Wilson classic singlestack that I actually run in L10 most of the time with 10 round tripp mags.

That is an awesome Wilson. I would love to compare it to my classic.

Did some say "chrome"?!
Over 5k rounds and the chrome finish has been spectacular IMO. (a wilson classic in HC that is my avatar)
If you don't like "bright" finishes, I know there is something out there called "black chrome" but I don't know much about it. It is supposed to be softer that regular hard chrome, but that is about all I know.
I would post a picture of the bottom slide and one of the frame but for some reason it is restricted.

Here is my Wilson SS classic in chrome. She is a work horse too.
That's a beautiful gun. Please post a picture of the top of the slide. I want to see how the polished hard chrome sides blend to the top.
Here are a couple:
Is that what you were looking for?
Thanks for the kind words!

I left mine stock. For what I use mine for, (just for paper punching or occasional action pistol shoot) the stock MSH/well works fine.
What do you use your pistol for?

I haven't had any problems from my mail carrier. One day I get home and find four cases of MG's and one case of precision cast (about 70lbs a case) all on my deck still in the usps crates with handles. Almost 300 lbs of bullets in one day, yeah, my mail dude hates me...

Lets see a pic or a couple. You don't hear much about this model.
