    Can you get more than 23 with this combo? I was lead to believe that you should be able to get 24. How do you like the springer base pads? (Fit and finish) I just don’t like the idea of that tiny set screw and having to unscrew it every time you have to take the base pad off to clean the mag. If you shoot uspsa and it’s muddy or sandy you might have to do that every stage. 

     

    I can’t get 24 in my mags.  The fit and finish on the springer stuff is good.  I have used several of their basepads in the past.  I’m not a big fan of the set screw, but it is what it is. I’m not overly paranoid about cleaning mags though.  A push button would definitely be nicer.

  2. Currently the only company manufacturing plates for the OR models is CZ Custom.  If you can get lucky and snag one of those its going to be an awesome CO gun.  As soon as I can snag a plate up I'll start running it in CO.

    Could somebody tell me how P-10 OR, feels versus Glock MOS ? I have a G34 gen 5 MOS with Vortex Venom, but I allready sold it the red dot (due his poor quality and no keeping the zero after 3-400 rounds. So I plan to buy a P10 OR who it seeam is deeper miiled and I'll pair it with RMR 3.25.

     

    For all the searching I have found, there isn't a plate available to actually mount an RMR to the OR model guns.  I have the P10F OR and am just waiting for a plate to become available.  The custom shop has some on their sight but they aren't available to buy yet.  Even though the CZ website states they ship with a plate, they do not. 

     

    As soon as I get the plate ill have one mounted up.

    There is literally tons of information on YouTube.  If you watch a few you'll quickly figure out who has the right stuff.  

     

    Good luck, I'm a beginning 1911 builder too and if you take your time the results can be incredible.  My slide to frame fit on my first build was better than any custom maker I have ever seen. 

     

    You must not be looking at any of the actual good custom 1911 builders.   It's not the slide to frame pic but the level of detail that went into the grip safety to frame fit should show you how well the rest of the gun is built. 

    OP:

    http://www.rodgerspistolsmithing.com/1911class.html

    This is the class you wanna take.  It's $$$ but you leave with a gun and learn from probably one of the best in the country. 

    For the record: the picture was built by another smith that's on Bob's level.

    Just got an email reply from them: you have to order 10 at a time.  I imagine that means they don't want to be bothered by non-builders (or local gunsmiths).

     

     

    There have been some mentions by PT that they are working on selling the frames individually in the near future.

  6. would you beleive me if I told you over 20k on a guys 1911 that I know? I routinely would go several thousand without cleaning on my 35. I would clean the barrel every few K shooting coated bullets but nothing crazy. Just oil it and go.

  7. I have a Glock 35 limited gun. I spared no expense and put a ton of money into it. Now it sits in the safe and I shoot an STI.

    IMO if you really want an ultimate limited gun it's not a glock.

    Sure, at 3 times the price!

    No. I used STI edge should cost you around $1800. I probably have more than that into my glock.

    This.

    Been there done what you did. Buy an Edge and save the wasted time of going with a glock.

    Base Gen 4 35 $650

    Lightened Slide/Work $3-500

    Trigger and related parts $200 plus

    Magwell $85+

    Sights $75+

    Barrel $175

    Didn't include base pads as they will be an expense for either gun. I went the route you are trying to go. I, like darkvibe, probably had as much or more into my glock than what I spent on my nearly new edge. You can be competitive with a glock but the 2011 is simply a better platform for Limited.

    That being said, if you are dead set on going glock, get the base gen 4, prob would go Zev slide, I really like the agency arms flat faced trigger and a Taran Connector (have it on a carry gun with factory connector), the magwell of your choosing and the Taran Tactical sights and basepads. A good trigger to check out with a flat face would be the DK idp flatline. I had one of his kits and like it but preferred the flat face, he didn't offer the flat face at the time. KKM barrel as well.

  8. Wondering how that flat trigger really feels vs stock curve.

    I have dry fired a buddies and shot several thousand rounds through the stock trigger. That being said, the flat trigger is really nice. If they sold them without having to send in my frame I would buy one in a heartbeat.

  9. Get the TLR-1 HL. 500+ lumens. Much brighter than the Regular TLR.

    If you plan to use your pistol inside a house, 500 lumens is WAY overkill, and back splash of light on light walls will blind you also.

    I use my light inside houses on an almost daily basis for work. No blindness issues.

  10. Yep slapping the trigger. You are tensing up. Maybe relax trigger hand more firm support hand. Dry fire doubles and Bill drills. Same live fire drills.

    I'm working on same issues....

    This will help a bunch quickly. I was having problems pulling shots. Really backed down on my strong hand grip and cranked up on my week hand grip. Gun tracked better and my hits were instantly better. I really like Nick's drill. Also look into Stoeger's dot drill. It's not his but you can see it on his website.
