That solution works pretty well with a .22 can. Tac Sol sells those, but your overall length with suppressor mounted is longer because you need 16” w/o suppressor, but enough of the suppressor protruding to grasp. A shroud big enough for a .30 can would be rather large. No way to tuck that into a handguard like you can with a .22 can + shroud. I’d go for the second stamp. Just shoot it as a pistol while you wait. Then you could swap other short uppers onto it as desired, and no issues with never being able to change handguards or gas blocks as you would with a pinned shroud.

Thanks guys. I was pretty excited when I found out I’d done it.

I pretty much put the ol’ Six-shooter away after 8 round minor happened and went to SS. Last time I shot it was a match in 2015. I pulled it out of the safe yesterday for a special classifier and managed an 80 and 82%! We don’t need to mention the other 3 stages, but it should finally put me in A class! I’m so excited. ?

This is interesting. Need to think about it... Could you file the 0.015” off the top of the mag catch? To avoid modifying magazines. I guess you’d still have the monopodding issue without welding them. Too many magazines to modify, and it would be good if they’d still work in other guns.

I don’t have sights on mine, but I like to keep the height the same. IIIRC, I just stuck a 1/2” YHM riser under my Razor. I think it’s a little higher than an absolute cowitness. When people say “cowitness”, they may mean absolute or lower 1/3. Absolute would be around 1.41” above the rail I believe. Vortex seems to think everyone wants lower 1/3.

Pistol into a rifle, and back again, yes. Rifle into a pistol, no.

I’m curious what “Top Product A” is...

The length 5” 1911 springs are rated at is 1.625”. Commanders are rated at 1.125”, and Officers at 0.70”.

I like it. The dots used aren’t the same as Open, so they don’t really fit there anyway. Better in one place.

This thread made me dig out my FMK mag and look at it again. A bit of work on the feed lips to make them like Metalforms, and it’s working! More testing needed but this is very promising. I always like the DIY solution.

I got mine from whatacountry.com, but I see they only list 25 rounders now.

I bought some FMK-3 40 round mags before there were extensions available. I modded one. It locks in fine but is not at all reliable. The feed lips aren’t quite shaped the same as Metalforms. Not giving up yet, but not really a priority right now. Seems like a better deal to buy extensions than to buy those mags to modify. I do have a couple unmodded ones I could spare though.

I’ve been wondering about this too. I don’t know how to tig weld. I’ve been wondering if brazing would work.

Are the PSA Colt magazine lowers gone forever?

Yes it does. That’s a better picture.

Stock comb looks low to me for optic use, but I like high combs. Maybe that line on the stock is an interchangeable comb insert though? I kinda like it.

If I'm not mistaken, the base or screw pattern on an RMR is too wide for a 1911 slide. Trijicon sells a base with integrated rear sight that you would mill into your slide for 1911s. Comes with a higher front sight to match.

Is that weight right? It looks like it should be lighter.

I'm liking short flat. My hand seems to be just slightly larger than yours. IIRC, Brownells lists some of the overall lengths of the different sizes. Front of insert to back of bow.

I much prefer thinner front sights. Mine are all 0.100-0.110, IIRC. Tried a wider notch instead once, didn't really care for it.

Interesting. Looks like it's available but I can't find it on Burris' website. Just the reticle.

If I was the RO, I'd just pointedly show the shooter the timer. Clock is ticking!

Practiscore doesnt allow zero time to be entered. Tried that first.

This is what we did. I don't like bogus numbers, but it seemed the best answer.
