Copquest has them for $21. http://www.copquest.com/23-8101_safariland-771-competition-magazine-pouch.htm

I really like the VZ Golf ball grips on my M9A1. They are almost exactly the same thickness as the plastic factory grips. They feel much better than the stock grips.

I bought one of those. It lasted for about 6 months, then the front wheel snapped off. I've seen several other guys using this one, it seems much more robust than the folding wagon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003OANHEY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

So what was the issue?

You may have to remove the rear sight so that you can get to firing pin block and spring from the top. It sounds like the spring may be bound. Can you remove the extractor from the slide?

Say, WHERE did you find them for that price??? Optics planet. Every now and then they change their price on a given product. I've actually purchased one 773 for $17.98 plus the 5% coupon about a month ago. Added ELS inner belt for free shipping. I check their website constantly though. Cop Quest has Safariland 771's for $21 each. http://www.copquest.com/23-8101_safariland-771-competition-magazine-pouch.htm

Shot it on 1/25/14. Single Stack, 7.89 sec, 51 pts, 6.4639 HF.

Are those quad pouches legal for Single Stack? "Max. distance of handgun and mags/speed loaders from inner side of belt: (Handgun and Mags - 2”)". Appendix D5, 10 of the current rule book.

Here are some more results for this classifier: http://lineadefuego.info/scores/show_scores.php?match=uspsa/2013-12-28.txt#stg4overall

You can use the one that comes with the kit (I believe it is a standard 23# mainspring). The Ed Brown kit comes with a mainspring cap retaining pin, slide it in from the back of the MSH. SA uses a 9mm/38 firing pin (smaller tip) on all their 1911's, so if you order a replacement get the 9mm/38 firing pin (I kept the factory firing pin with the Ed Brown kit - no problems so far ~ approximately 6,000 rounds later).

I got the sight from Dawson Precision. They include an aluminum punch to install it and they have nice videos on the sight. It took me about 30 - 40 minutes to install it myself. You will need: - a padded vice to hold your slide (I use two pieces of lumber to pad my vice) - a 1/16" punch to remove the roll pin that holds on the factory sight (you just tap it out from the top). - a small triangle file to fit the new sight - a sharpie to re-color the sight and see where material needs to be removed - Locktite to make sure your sight stays on. The Trophy Match uses a 0.180" tall sight. You can choose from 3 different widths (I went with the 0.100" wide). I got the sight and tube of Loctite 620 for $50 shipped. http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000CCC-1278687089 http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=80000EDF-1300732289

I just bought the same gun to replace my SA Loaded. Its a great shooter straight out of the box (even better with a Dawson FO front sight). I've been running Tripp mags with great success (they feed everything) and CMC Power mags with round nose (not so great with SWC). Neither of my Springfields worked very well with Wilson 47D's.

Switching from a long to a short trigger helped me with some of my trigger control issues. I was pushing my shots to the left (right handed) with the long trigger (using the tip of my finger). Switching to a short trigger allowed me to use the pad of my finger (near the 1st joint) and bring my groups into center. This was my typical results with a long trigger:

Linea de Fuego at the Pala range in North San Diego County.

I had the same issue with the Safariland 773 for Glock 17. The tension screws were too long. I took the screws out and cut 5-6 threads off each one. The 771 pouches for my 1911 didn't have this issue though.

Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. I started shooting at some local matches about a year ago, that turned into shooting USPSA matches once a month about 6 months ago, and last month I joined USPSA and my local club. Now I am shooting Single Stack every other weekend and working on getting my initial classification. This forum is really helpful and has answered nearly all of my questions without my having to post even once.
