That one on ebay is nice, but the holster is going on a belt that doubles as my pcc rig. So ive got a tec lock for easy removal.

Is there anybody that sells just the DOH hanger? Ive got a holster for my ss that i need one on.

I am working on a G17 for a carry gun and maybe play in CO. I have seen multiple videos and posts online about the threads not being that great in the MOS guns and that its better to get a regular and have the slide milled. I don't have a whole lot of experience with glocks so any feedback or personal experience stories would be appreciated.

There has been talk of restarting that match at area 59 in rosenberg, tx undrr a new but similar name. They just started having single stack only matches in january, and the match directors generally come up with some great stage designs. I shot the inaugural ss club match and it was good.

Im not 100% sure if you are talking about the actual MSH being too long, or that it fits and the internals are locked-up inside
If its the latter, you need to change all the internals:
Standard length mainspring (weight of your choice)
Mainspring housing pin retainer (that goes at the bottom of the mainspring)
Mainspring cap (that goes in the top of the mainspring)
You can get them from Dawson of EGW etc:

https://dawsonprecision.com/pin-sets-1911-2011-by-dawson-precision/
The mainspring housing that came with the magwell is 1/4" longer that the factory msh on the gun. Also the mainspring from the factory is 1/4" shorter than the one I ordered from Wilson combat. When I installed the spring and guts into the dawsons, then installed it onto the gun, I was able to get in installed but the gun was locked up, nothing would work. I changed parts from the factory msh to the dawsons msh, same thing. I can install it but the gun locks up. I tried with the factory retainer and cap and also the set I bought nothing worked.

I got my new pistol today and went to install a dawsons magwell on it. I could get it on, but it was essentially locked up at that point. Changed the factory ms to the magwell, same thing. Then i noticed the 19# wilson ms i bought for the magwell was about .25" longer. Cut it and still didnt work. Then i saw that the msh on the dawsons magwell is a solid .25" longer. WTH? Any advice or tips would be appreciated.

So my SR1911 have the factory novak sights. I wanna replace them with a target rear and fo front. I remember reading somewhere that the rear sight dovetail is a different size than a normal dovetail cut. Can anybody verify this or point me in the right direction? And if so do you know where to get a target rear sight to fit it?
-
Thats why i was askin if any of the dawson pads fit since they are made to work with the magwell.

Well, ummm...that's more problematic...
Other mags work ok? Who makes the Promags?
Yeah. My wilsons work fine, but i only got 2 of them. Was trying to save a little money.
-
So my phone takes pics 2 big. But it catches about halfway down the top edge of the basepad.

As Clint alludes to above, most standard 1911 mags have an overinsertion stop on the front lip of the basepad. It would generally contact the bottom of the frame/grip when mag is fully seated.
If you have the Dawson magwell with the "no gap" insert, it doesn't allow a space for the standard basepad to seat. That insert ONLY works with the Dawson "No Gap" basepads. The actual magwell is the same either way; just different inserts. So you could get a different insert with gap or different basepads with no "insertion stop"...
There's even a listing in the Classifieds right now for 7 of the NG basepads, that might work for you depending on the configuration on the bottom of the promags...
Oh. Its the gap insert.

Do you know which insert is in the magwell? Also, will the mags not seat because the magazine is contacting the magwell insert on the front bottom edge of the magazine?
Im not sure which insert it is. The mags catch on back of the factory base pad. Ill post a pic.
-
Will any of the dawsons 1911 basepads fit on promag mags? The promags will not seat with my new dawson magwell and i would prefer not to have to alter them. Id rather just change out the basepads.

The intention of the rule is to ban spring loaded pouches that push the mags forward as you pull them out.
That is awesome. I want one of those just because. Lol
-
So i could use something like this?
-
From appendix d5
"Each magazine must be contained
individually within the magazine pouch."
Does this mean i have to have individual mag pouches, or just only 1 mag per pouch? Like could i use a 4 pouch rig?

This is the only ar style rifle I have ever owned/shot that does this.

You dont smell it while firing due to powder burn. But racking the rifle cold there is a strong hot/burning metal smell from the buffer tube and also from the charging handle. It is a foxtrot mike upper with forward charging handle. After i first noticed it i lubed all surfaces, did i not lube enough?

I know guys who have built another top end and drilled holes in the frame for a mount. In fact the honcho from PT is built for this purpose. One frame and three guns. I also know a few builders that offer a second top end going from open to limited or .40 to 9 for a limited gun.
IMHO I would just have two full guns. Makes things that much easier.
That's basically what I'm going for. A cheap bastards Honcho, because I am..... a cheap bastard. From some of the opinions here and elsewhere, it looks like ill be better off getting a whole other top end and just swap out when I change divisions.

I would think the main problem would be sights. Open uses optics, Limited uses irons. A new barrel would do noth9ing for the sights.
What about a new slide - barrel with the slide accepting one of the new small optics that seem popular these days? Alternately, have the slide milled to accept the interchangeable plates so that you can switch between iron and optics on the gun and try it that way to get an idea of how much you like it. Not worrying about a different cartridge or compensator.
At least to start with, the fdc should not be a problem.
Yeah, I would drill the frame for a red dot mount so I could keep my irons there for the limited side.

I think it all depends on what type of gun we are talking about. What are you shooting in Limited?
LSI .40 2011
TF +6 basepads
in Glock

So has anybody else had these extensions severely underperform? Got em, installed em loaded em up. I was only able to get 20 rds per mag. That was after banging the mags to get the rounds to settle.
