Check out the posts in the 1911 thread. Lots of good info and vids

For me, it's not so much the weight as it is the creep, break and reset. I have some very high end guns that have sub 2lb triggers but on the clock I notice the triggers' feel, not the weight. I just wanted to know if the ignition kit is standard 1911/2011

I received a Night Stalker, a 4.25” and a 5” today. I wanted to know how “standard” these were and I’m quite impressed so far. All I have to compare mags-wise are STI and MBX. The MBX do fit, but do not drop free without a slight pull. I believe this may have something to do with the enlarged slot for the mag catch but not certain. They may run but to me, if they don’t drop free it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t use them. The STI’s fit perfectly like the OE Tisas magazines do and again, comparing the mag catch to the MBX, I believe this may have something to do with it because the STI slot is exactly like the Tisas’. Holsters. All three variants fit my Double AA race holster as well as a kydex that I use for 3 Gun(can’t remember the brand but can look if someone really wants to know). The Night Stalker fit a little snug in the kydex while the 5” fit perfect and the 4.25” was a touch loose. All were a little loose in the AA race holster but it could have something to do with the PT insert instead of the STI insert. Each were a touch loose but still locked in and would not release until unlocked. Trigger. Last thing that has been covered but I wanted to give my opinion anyway. The Night Stalker averaged at 5.1lbs while the 4.25” and 5” were 5.9lbs. Overall I’m impressed! I have stock and built STI’s, some Akai’s and an LSI, I’m admittedly a 1911/2011 snob and I still like these ALOT! If the ignition kits can be replaced with other 1911/2011 kits, then I truly believe these are going to be very popular soon! Now we just need EGW to get us an RMSc to RMR adapter!

Just like anything else really, there's always room for improvement. I didn't care for the one I handled, I like a shorter take-up and a crisp break. Just curious if the parts interchange

Has anyone tried an aftermarket 1911/2011 ignition kit?

Thanks! I’ll continue to follow for any other updates. Specifically to see if anyone creates an optic plate to convert it to RMR footprint

Thank you! Those guys are great!

So does anyone have a range report on the Tisas DS's? Accuracy at distance as well as reliability? I think I'm going to get a few for inventory and plan to put one through it's paces myself. I may have missed this but it seems the conversation moved towards Girsan.

Thanks. That's not a bad idea and a USB stick is much more useful than a book anyway. Lockton didn't really have as specific requirements that I was hoping to find.

Did you get anything figured out with LFA regarding the accuracy issues? I'm trying to figure out if this is something I should stock or not

Yeah, to say I’m disappointed in the NRA would be an understatement. However, the NSSF has been not just extremely helpful but they also responded the very next day.

I have seen lots of advertisements for that book but no one can tell me if there’s any pertinent information that I’m looking for in it. In fact, when I reached out to NSSF as well as the NRA, both in which I am a member of, only the NSSF was helpful with information. The NRA didn’t even reply to try and sell their book. I think I have everything else figured out besides a minimum depth to work around. I know I will want to be able to setup all 8 Steel Challenge courses and I can meet their required depth. I’m sure there will be some USPSA classifiers that I won’t be able to meet but it’s not a huge deal. I’m just trying to think ahead given all of the disciplines that I’m not familiar with

The property is only 140’ wide so to make the most of the property, especially thinking about the footprint of a berm, is to place all bays sideways in a line with the road along the opposite edge of the property.

Oh and yes, mostly USPSA and Steel Challenge. The back half of the property would lend itself to rifle out to 500yds

Good info, thanks guys! I think I may be able to get 20yds deep(maybe) and I could make 8 bays up to 50yds wide if I need to. I can build one bay 50yds square for a stage that would require that depth. Or two 25x50’s I guess. I don’t know that a major match would ever be hosted but, I guess planning for the possibility isn’t a terrible idea. It sounds like I’m not too far off. I really wanted 25yds deep on each but it’s not going to be possible. Sounds like I may be able to get by with the bulk of them a little short and try to compensate using the width in some cases
