Slipped

Thanks for the load ideas. I'll give it a go. I've got a lighter mainspring that I haven't put in. I'll give it a try.

I received confirmation from IDPA headquarters that 45 was allowed in ESP. It makes sense, fits the rules, and provides no real advantage - but The anti-gaming crowd gets very worked up over things that seem like they might give an adantage. Anyway, IDPA and the rules both seem to indicate that it is ok. My problem has been loading a 45 minor load that won't hang up under rapid fire. Each time I approach the 130 pf range I start getting failures to feed. Regards, Slipped

Take a look at the Wilson KZ45. It's the fastest reloading gun I've got. Straight shot to the mag release (ie no curve on the grip), and a magwell that puts just about anything short of an open gun to shame. I like my single stack 1911, but the KZ is perfect for CDP or Limited 10. Just swap in a tungsten guide rod for IPSC and out again for CDP. The only downsideis that it's fairly light. Makes for fast acquisitions, but it is light. On the plus side, the slim profile makes it more carryable then an STI --- Later,
