RippSpeed

I've been tuning it ... it finally just came together and ran perfectly last sunday... I'm running 3.9gr of N320 w/ 200gr Bear Creeks 1.170OAL 0.421 crimp and Winchester Small Rifle primers deep seated ... hitting 170pf Started out with 9lb recoil spring but switched it to a 12lb Wolff ( was actually a 10lbs but tested and was actually a 12lb) ... It is a sight tracker if that makes a difference...

I guess I'm one fo the few that runs 200gr bullets out of my 6"

Thank you sir for your kind words... All the work was done by my gunsmith Jimmy Vidanes @ 1911 Speed Shop in Riverside CA... The barrel is a hybrid barrel from schuemann ... where theres an island on top of the barrel and the front sight is on the barrel soo it hardly moves when the slide moves back. I made it this way to help out my weak and slow eyes... heres the barrel off my 6" : well theres really no smoke and mirrors and no snake oil ... but the sight tracker really helps me, see the sight for the second shot... the movement of the front sight is less ... But then again ... the gun does look purdy even though I missed the target ,,, hahahaha

Thank you for your kind words... I cant tell you I was very happy with my edge ... it just ran and ran and ran without hiccups other than ammo related issues... You will or cannot go wrong with one... But, I have sold the slide and had a new slide made and shes a sight tracker now...

Yeah Rich... your advised with the throater from Clymers worked perfect!!!

shot a clean match today. fumbled a table start and could have been alittle faster

I think I finally solved my Jamming issues ... Thanks to titandriver for the advise either way only had 2 light strikes or maybe high primers and my mag springs are wearing out

I used to shot product with a P30LS ver 1 ... I keep tweaking it but it need a better recoil spring to make it more softer.

That is the bushing that Briley makes with the spherical ring, its held in by a supported reverse plug that keeps the bushing from spinning. I need to mill the cam lobe a little to clock the bushing. You can buy these in .698 drop in or .703 gunsmith fit, the rings come in .555 thru .589 for barrel size. very very sick build !!! like I said I've never seen that before ... I might just build a single stack using that bushing... Thanks for sharing Glenn...

Hey Glenn; Whats the deal with the one with the butler cut ??? It looks like it has some sort of a bushing ... I've never seen that before ... can you elaborate on that ???

I use a Lee Factory Crimp die ... and I would pull one of the bullets in a batch just to make sure theres a slight ring around the bullet ... Then you should be good 0.421 crimp but if you use the sharp part of the caliper on the very edge of the brass where it meets the bullet ... MInes @ 0.419 crimp

Never ran Bayou Bullets but heard good reviews about them... I run nothing but Bear Creek... Shot close to 30K soo far and very happy with them. Standard Deviation Arms sells them here

I dont get you ??? he pulls his finger off the trigger each time he racks the slide ...

what trigger and did you adjust the trigger stop??? I screwed up my trigger by screwing in the adjustment pin too much...

has happened to me before... the hammer follows to half cock ... is your sear and hammer old ??? how many rounds ??? my trigger pull was soo light that when you drop the slide on an empty chamber it would follow... I solved the problem by swapping out the sear, disconnector, and hammer... problem solved... You should try extreme trigger kits sold @ shooterconnection

Jimmy Vidanes @ 1911 Speed Shop in Riverside CA jimmy@1911speedshop.com he does pretty much all my fitting and slide cuts

I'm sharing Jimmy Vidanes of 1911 Speed Shop's work to get him exposure
