Review this article: https://www.brownells.com/aspx/learn/learndetail.aspx?lid=12535
Even if you bring your gun to a gunsmith, the article will be educational for you.

The STI cap on the left is .416" long and the Dawson Precision on the right is .751" long. Does the overall cap length matter?

I understand the Henning uses a different spring that's included in the flat trigger kit. I just want a factory spring to keep with the factory trigger.
I'll buy the one from Ben Stoeger in case I don't like the Henning trigger (unlikely) or I sell the gun (also unlikely) and want to include the original trigger.

I'm installing a Henning flat trigger in my Witness Elite Limited 9mm and the trigger return spring decided to take a journey somewhere into the depths of my workshop.
Which one should I buy to replace it?

I've used this small Husky partitioned parts box for years. Holds six mags and has a hinged lid rather than a removable lid.

CWA hands down. I run mine on a 1911 45 receiver. It is hands down the best setup I've tried. One of the reasons is the mags. GSG 1911 mags run 100% with no tuning. Advantage arms mags need to be modified to accommodate the CWA feed ramp. After that; 100%. Both are sprung just like any 1911 mag, and the springs hold up. I changed the springs on my GSG mags last year after three seasons, just in case. I don't use the AA mags as often, so they are still original.
Following is a list of the pistols I shot extensively for steel. All of them had failings of one sort or another. The biggest disappointment was the Volquartsen Scorpion. For what I paid for that it should have been stellar. It was not. It went back to the factory three times and they still didn't make it right.
High Standard Supermatic 107 Hamden gun- best trigger. Hammerli X-Esse- most accurate. Ruger MkIII- yuck. Full race Buckmark- superb gun, but eventual mag and feeding problems just like Ruger an the Scorpion.
So that brought me to CWA. I talked to Chet extensively, and had him build me an upper before it was an official product. I love it. Now, after five full SCSA seasons it still runs 100%. The only potential drawback is using standard velocity ammo. That is iffy, I run CCI AR Tactical in it. Zero issues. It runs 40gr MiniMags just as well.
The Supermatic ran flawlessly, but it was heavy with the custom bull barrel and transitioned slowly. I originally bought it for bullseye. Same with the X-Esse. Don't use bullseye guns for SCSA.
Which 1911 lower? The CWA conversion didn't work on my STI Trojan (didn't run) or DW PM9 (didn't fit).
The OP may be referencing Chet's full custom 2011-22 gun which is fantastic but around $2,300 fully loaded IIRC.

Quoting from the thread: "They removed about 6.5 oz from the factory weight."

Only used the 1st version which wasn't reliable. It would work on 1 stage then fail on the next stage. Maybe their newest version will be more reliable. It's really well made and heavy duty. I had to remove my magwell to use the drum which sucked. It looks like the new version is $100 less than the original.

Where does the carbon fiber barrel come from and what is the cost? I recently had TK Custom lighten my 929 barrel and it made a huge difference. They removed about 6.5 oz from the factory weight.
Let's see a picture of TK's work on your barrel.

I mounted a Holosun 507 on a 9mm Dan Wesson 1911 just to classify in Steel Challenge open division. The RMS & Holosun both weight about 1 to 1.2 ounces. I had not problems with the setup.

Yeah that's the same price I paid 6 months ago.

Tampa FL or Volusia which is more rural.. You can easily shoot a dozen USPSA/Steel matches every month just in these 2 areas.

Can you link to the video? I'd be curious to see it with its full context.
I've never seen one of those, but it's certainly not necessary in order to work on the P320.
Yes certainly not necessary for any gun ... it just seems like a handy general purpose punch/assembly tool.
5:00 minutes into the video: LINK
I found something similar at Amazon

On a Sig P320 video, you can see a stepped punch being used. Does anyone know who makes it? I've asked the video poster but he hasn't responded yet. I found Multi-Stepped Swaging Punches but they're much larger in diameter.
-
I use it. I also sent the sight back to Sig today after it wouldn't hold zero halfway through a USPSA match last Friday.

For any 1911-22 or 1911 22 cal conversion, I highly recommend installing a thumb safety with shield. If you just barely touch the slide with your thumb during firing you'll induce a malfunction.

I purchased some 9mm reloads to have on hand in case I run out of components, and the primers are stamped with some of type of brand mark. Anyone know who makes these primers?

No. Techwell magwells are held in place by the slotted Techwell grips.
