I bought a Sig 1911 45 ACP back in 2014 when they had a promotion to buy their 1911 and get a 2nd 22 caliber 1911 free.
Both worked well. I just remember that the Sig Nitron 1911 didn't fit any of my 1911 holsters so I had to spend $70 for a new Comp-Tac holster. I think I sold them a couple of years later when I bought a 9mm 1911.

PB Graphite Dry Lube spray from Home depot has worked well so far, starting with a completely clean comp. A couple matches and a few range trips, no buildup.
Can you post a picture? I've read that the Graphite Dry Lubes leave a black residue.

And if it's a jam, always clear the jam and finish the string to make sure the gun is good to go for the next string.

I did this process years ago. Bought a new cylinder & cylinder parts from S&W and sent them to TK to have the 2nd cylinder reamed to 9mm. Because I'm lazy I only use one 9mm load for all semi-autos, revo, and PCC.
You don't need a 2nd cylinder ... you can send yours to TK, have it reamed, and shoot 9mm or 38/357.

That's a bad lever, not a redi catch. I'm surprised that fits though. The clearance on the bolt release is very tight.
It's help in place by a little E-Clip. It should just pop off with a bit of a tug.
(The round part in this listing)
Correct ... I installed the Bad Lever because the Redi-Catch won't work with a dedicated PCC mag catch.
Some Colt pattern PCCs will allow a Redi-Catch to be used. I used one for many years on my Colt style PCC.
I run the Redi-Catch on all of my centerfire ARs.

Is there anything similar to a bad lever/ redi catch that works with the jp ambi bolt release?
https://www.redi-mag.com/product/redi-catch/
I'm new to PCC and it feels so awkward to lock the bolt bag to make ready/show clear.
FYI - I run the Redi-Catch on my JP GMR-15 even though I was told that it wouldn't fit. I don't have a JP-5.
I've attached a pic so you can see the spacing.

You might get more info here: https://www.amtguns.info/
Check Ebay. I see Automag parts listed there.

Interesting idea for $8.95: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2024/01/31/shot-2024-zeta6-rolls-safesnap-dry-fire-training-discs/
Looks like it's only made for 5 & 6 shot snubbies.

Glock Hydraulic Guide Rod and Spring by Angstadt Arms: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2024/02/01/glock-hydraulic-guide-rod-spring-angstadt/
Did anyone here see it at SHOT Show? I didn't go this year.

I've been using a Blade-Tech since 2011 for my Witness Limited.

So this happened 2 days before a level 2 match. Dillon did their usual excellent job of quickly shipping a new replacement part, but it sucks that it happened. Looks like a MIM part.
Also, I had to use a sledgehammer to pound out the remaining stub from the bottom after soaking with Kroil overnight.
Maybe I'll use some anti-seize on the replacement.
Are broken Dillon operating handles a common occurrence?

Depends what day it is and who you talk to. I have purchased 8 shot cylinders and stars after I purchased I told 2 of my friends and they called and purchased. Later on someone else asked and I told them to call and they were told that cylinders and stars were not sold to the public. Go figure
^^^ This. S&W sold one to me along with the 8 shot cylinder and all other cylinder parts. I do not have a FFL.

Uses CZ Scorpion Evo mags and a Kynshot hydraulic buffer. Supposed to price "around the $2,000 mark".

I'm leaning towards the pistol, this is the second optic? I checked all the mounting, plate, and sight, all torqued and lock tite. Tampa-XD45, what other sites could I go to to read more on this. I looked at the DSC Gunworks site, no mention as to the reasons or benefits to welding up the chamber indicator. Have other pistols, not 1911, that have the similar notch in the barrel, and no issues.
Here's one site to review: https://www.thearmorylife.com/forum/threads/prodigy-5in-w-hex-dragonfly.14389/

I used JB Weld as the adhesive, and 60/90 grit silicon carbide in the smallest amount I could purchase on Ebay or Amazon.
Wearing latex gloves, I also gently pushed the grit into the adhesive to make sure there were no high spots.
Don't worry about a perfect application ... there's always tiny amounts you scrape or sand away after drying.

Other forums blame the loaded chamber indicator (LCI) in the Prodigy barrel. They mention using this company to weld and blend the LCI to eliminate the hole completely.

I've had my Weber Tactical ratcheted Gamer gun belt for a couple of months now and have been pretty happy with it.
I bought a 2nd belt for a revolver rig and I think both arrived within a week of ordering.
