Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. Are you dipping your toe in the water or do you want to jump in? Answering that question will set you in the right direction. If you’re dipping your toe in the water, do just what it takes to make the system reliable. I say system, because the magazines matter. You can move a reliable set-up if you want to upgrade later. If you want to jump in, you’ve got some other options. One is to make sure you have an in-spec 1911 with a good reputation (that’s does necessarily not mean expensive…). If you have a good gunsmith you trust, they can make it race ready on a realistic budget. Another path is to buy a nice 1911 like a DW, which is pretty much ready out of the box, but doesn’t cost a custom build price. Based on what you were sharing, the custom build is not what you’re looking for, but boy are they nice. I personally went the “buy a good 1911 and send to my gunsmith” route. He is known for high end 1911 and 2011 builds. Very happy.
  2. I have Extreme Engineering parts in mine and I’m very happy.
  3. And if you like DW, which I’ve heard nothing but good things about, Ben Stoeger Pro Shop has ‘em in stock (the PM9).
  4. I originally chose .40 for the major/minor option, but found I didn’t like the mag changes with 10 rds in a 10mm/40 mag (and we do a lot of mag changes!). Great for major, not so much for minor, at least for me. Thus, I added a 9mm single stack to the mix.
  5. There are good options out there but it takes patience. I picked up a Sig in 40 and sent it to a very reputable smith who builds 2011/1911’s. In those capable hands he made it like a full custom build. I run that in major. Did the same with a Rock Island in 9mm and will be running it in minor this season.
  6. I believe it’s an issue with the spring itself, the catch moves freely without the spring.
  7. Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!
  8. I have a 1911 with a stiff magazine release. Should I order a reduced power spring or is it ok to clip coils? If clipping coils is ok, how many is enough/too much?
  9. It fit like a glove and performs as expected. Thanks for the recommendations and tips.
  10. Very well said! There are GM’s, well at least one, running a Kel-Tec (and no, it’s not me, haha).
  11. Thank you Braxton1 and Aircooled6racer, I agree installation quality matters. Based on the feedback I’ve seen the C&H design recognizes and addresses this risk.
  12. TTI basepads work well. They provide a nice index for consistent draw from the pouch, and they are very easy to remove and install. Not sure they add a lot of weight, but IMO enough to give a little extra in dropping free. I agree with other’s posts about Armor All or a silicone rag in the magwell.
  13. Good point, I should have looked up Aaron’s review. He does “quality” torture tests!
  14. This is great feedback, thank you. I’ve heard of too many MRDS launching off the factory MOS plate and want to avoid it. Sounds like C&H has it figured out.
