  1. so where does a person buy mags for the older gen-1 lmk. also i have been to the sell/buy board no luck or obscene pricig carried 1 of mine for years off/on. know the folks who designed the gen 1 jjw
  2. the best smith i know is dave laubert og defensive creations, alliance ohio. web site explains it best. 1 of the 200 pistal smith in the guild. dont kow the wait but he is just unreal with 1911's and other pistols. saw his work on revolvers in a natinsal magazine. cant say enought about him. call him and just ask. he is patient, nice, and not off the $$$$ charts for what u get.. never seen an unhappy customer.. nothng in it for me except great work on all the work he does for us. jjw

    XD/XDM

    i call B.S.on that the original series now called xd-1 was designed by Ken Hackathorn and Larry Vickers for Springfield i have both of the custom original super tuned from Springfield to them,as gifts re-fitted baretta mags with custom bottem bumper cut from a tire Heinie nite sites match bbl 10 mag each custom fitted great trigger. custom green,not production green. presentation box. i have used Larry's unit for years with Mecgar mags. (Mecgar mags just plain work in anything.) i am a smith&wesson fan. have 8-9 work guns, shoot3 i always have and will always have a springfield factory gun redone by defensive creation's.alliance Ohio. I HATE glock's i shoot them so poorly. i think they hate ME. i shot them so poorly the last ft Benning 3-guni attended ,i came home and sold all 5 i had. called tdl and told him how poorly i shot them. he said "wait" . he would not tell me under a non-disclosure he signed, a new gun he knew of(imagine that")was coming. it was love at 1st site at his house in Maretta . he loaned" me a sample and 3 mags. shot the p--s out of it have never had 1 FAILURE of the 4 total i own. have a s/f across the room i am sitting in now in virgina i shoot 9mm w.w for fun. speer 124+p and w-w124+p+ for serious stuff. have never CHANGED 1 PART. sorry for the bad typing. shrpapnel/arthritis have taken their toll. jjw
  4. does anyone know where a mfg is that uses s&w mag well's. tried a company in shot gun news. no good i want a s&w pcc as i havve a ton of smiths and its our work gun. any one kow where i should look. do not want a removable frame. want to build a complete weapon from the ground up have every thing but the lower. need an a.r. configuration. have a kel-tec. have had 5-6 over the years. great company great service reliable as hell. can carry it but not the perfect weapon for what i do. also wierd looking not a big deal but need an ar. tia jjw
  5. i have tried the AAO- MFG unit and it was bad. refund can fast from amex. has any 1 built 1 from any mfg that works ??????? any advice will help. have top engineering guy as a friend if u will send me an email with number i will call on outbound watts be most appreciative jjw
  6. defensive creations alliance ohio (dave laubert) did a small solder piece on shield shield just big enuff. caution i can work the original flat safety but dont like my chances IF in a gun fight i also have small hands #8 womens any safety is a good safety. have full size work guns all S&W reguler size and no that safety wont fit a compact. we tried any good tool & die guy can do it.. i just am not 1 of those strange critter"s good luck jjw
  7. Blade-Tec is what u seek. Tim Wegner has all his gear holes punched to fit Safariland. my self and 4 of my people run Blade-Tec. (maybe more, dont see them much) takes time to set up a tactical rig. many more things than on a competition rig. we have tried most everything. alway's stick with B/T. Safariland main frame so to speak. i have shot a lot of 3 gun all over s. east. from the old Carolina Tac,starting in 96/97 with the 1st . to Ft Benning. then just built a 3-gun rig. used stuff in ware house. works fine as i member" after 30 or so 3 guns. last 20 yrs or so,till i was injured. never was a big time shooter. just liked testing gear, meeting good folk, playing with all the toys. good luck jjw
  8. i have never used any one 1 but Dave. he is a master gun smith. also in the pistold smith's guild. the top 200 pistol smiths in the country. he has cut 25 or 30 barrels of all kinds and size. never a bad 1. i always threaded for cans. he did that also perfectly many gun smith have said its evil work and wont attempt. give him a call. i am in akron he will know me. if u do it rest easy. he aint' cheap but neither are Rolex''s or Randall knives, BUT they always work \jjw best of luck
  9. ask these people if they ever ACTUALLY shot a short bbl i had 2 the only 11.5 ever factory done, from Earnie Langdon. (designed the gun for s&w) a 16" cut down by a master gun smith (Defensive Creations - Alliance Ohio) Dave Laubert probably ran 4-5000 rds thru it with a knights :can & a surefire. just put out in the corner with all of the other lonley neglected guns i have never a burp jjw
  10. i went the other way use 2.o full size and 4.0-c uppers work guns w want to be ablle to use standard mags. cant be fumlbiling around for wierd size mags (15 rds) i use all 2.0 full size mags with robin's aluminin 6 extra in 9mm also did a fde f/s lower 5" with a 4.0-c upper all work just fine eery weapon i own for work has the shortest bbarrel that will for me 870's (aow's) 5" example email me with a phone number if u want to ask more i dont do emal's or text jjw

  12. almost all my 1.0 series holsters with and w/o a light work with the2.0 series. u may have to tweak a little, screw adjustment. .a heat gun is ur friend. we are changing from 1.0 to 2.0's for work guns. only a few of 16 primary side arms have not fit. all do after said tweaking. email if u need to. not a dealer. we are are a security company doing contract work. jjw p.s. we love the new 2.0. and YES we can carry anything we want
  13. adco and defensive creations are 1's who touch my barrels and i have had 7-8 cut down. mostly work guns But length is mostly the mod also.wt is a factor but i use d.d. lt wt 1/7's. dont know anyone else. adco / def. creationsis all i ever used. back up is dave laubert at defensive creations if i am in a hurry. best i have ever seen. all my guns have "cans" so threading is a BIG DEAL. both are the best. we dont cut many barrels. been told its a black art/scary. takes magoic. L.O.L good luck jjw
  14. i use key mod but both are same technology i just would buy the number of 10"/12" or what ever it took to get there. someday u may change ur mind/set upp and be glad u bought smaller pieces cheers jjw p.s gurante u it wont effect what u are building.
  15. mine measure 5.75"approx empty. holding the ruler at at the top and straight across no go as i read it. if u could dump the base plate u would be gtg i counted the base plate jjw
  16. the reason they inter mix on the 2,0 series is a improvement on the 1.0 series. the man who designed the 1.0 series was Earnie Langdon. who also designed the baretta vertec before he he worked at s&w. he also designed the 5x45x39 ar's(not really important i guess) L.o.L.. he said when they built 1.0 series in 9 & .40 they did not take interchange ability.into account. when they designed the .45 (came last) they did. as stated. i have a full size lower and a compact upper as a bedroom gun. what smith has done "finally" is build the guns to interchange. u are like most people , want a carry gun with a long barrel and short grip. i am so twisted, i went the other way L.O.L. would u buy a 5" fde on a full size or compact black lower ? i can make that happen cheers jjw
  17. all my friends go your way : long upper and short lower. guess i am out of step but have always liked the opposite your info is going in my file on this concept saved me some work. we going to all 2.0-f/s and compacts for work tks jjw
  18. i just throw then on top of all my "go bags" and chest rigs in my work room. has a bank steel door in cinder block walls for a room we built.. i am a s.h.t.f. guy, not a match shooter. just retiring from security work since 9/11. will always have load out bags and ammo close at hand. its work gear so i expect it to "work" anytime. doom on the fool that comes to hurt my wife or my cocker spaniel. jjw bath ohio akron area.
  19. lets make sure we are on the same page. i am talking about all 2.0 lowers/uppers only. not any 1.0 series. all uppers will fit on any of the my 3. just tried it. . 2.0-c lowers. both with a 5" upper. stuck the guns out my back door and shot the steel in my backyard range. 34 rds 100% reliable. naturally the dog is not happy. L.O.L. cheers jjw p.s. i am trying to sell a 5" upper in fde. i will keep the f.d.e. lower and carry with a 2.0-c upper. have done with with s&w .45's and colt commander 45's with a officers upper on it.
  20. my 5" 2.0 will go together on any 2.0 lower. trying to sell a 2.0o fde in the classifieds bought it by mistake. wont take it back jjw
  21. isn't that a flat nose bullet? how does it feed? anything special to the feed ramp. works well for practice for my mp-5,1 of the work guns we carry. tia jjw
  22. there is another answer. i have small hands and mag release are the devils mischief. i assume every one knows they can be flipped to the other side,very easily. i have done this to all my guns whether work or 3-gun. 7/8 full size and 4/ 2.0-c. dumped all my compacts. pinched too many fingers slamming the mag home cheers jjw jjw
  23. i have been shooting 3-gun since about 94/95. mostly outlaw in n. carolina but a lot elsewhere. 3 rock castle's till my legs need new knee's. soooooooooooooooo 2 loads only u don't need anything else 3-dr-1oz of 6's for long steel. use a tight choke .3dr--1/1/8oz 9's for clay 2 custom chokes add to the fun 1. a choke custom ground to shoot TALL/NARROW patterns like rock castle steel at 50 yds and hostage scenerio 2. a spreader choke for all clay's u might get 2 for 1 i.c, lm, lt. f PATTERN THE CHOKES hope this helps jjw p.s. i learned all this shooting 20,000 birds a year at sporting clay's. those guys had this stuff figured to a gnat's ass.
