[post your 1911/2011 pictures]

The gold gun, named Cornelius, is my USPSA gun.

 

The other is my Steel Gun.

I'd get an EGW to keep as a spare and have it fit/tuned so it's ready to drop right in if necessary.  

Diddo.

Best aftermarket parts, made in America.

[Tool Less Guide Rod vs One Piece]

I use a 1 piece Tungsten guide rod in my open gun.

I like that better over the tooless. The Dawson's are pretty sweet, but I prefer solid.

[Comp cleaning]

I use weapon shield solvent. Spray it on, leave it on and 2 days later go to the range and "shoot it out"

 

Coat when finished shooting.

I typically run a 15 or 16 lb mainspring.

Thank you

There was a lady around and I don't remember if it was from this forum or not but she was making 3D printed scope covers and I'm trying to find her contact information if anyone knows can you please comment below.

[9mm major load with vihtavuori 3N38]

See now I think HS-6 was the cleanest and softest hitting in the hand. The 3N37 I thought had the most consistent dot movement.

[softest powder for 125gr]

I tried some clean shot with 135g blue bullets and I remember they were really soft feeling. I don't have the load data in front of me.

[Which thumb rest?]

Akai to me is the best. It must be the angle.

[1911 recoil spring chart]

I would say that's a good starting point chart

[Best bullet weight for coated 9mm competition]

I love the 135TC Blue Bullet.

I use it for minor and major.

[coated bullets for major?]

Use Blue Bullets and you won't have any issues.

[What Open Gun holster is Everyone Using]

I'll have to take pics and post them if I remember how to.

[Which thumb rest?]

I love my Akai thumb rest

The holster body is virtually identical to the MRH.

 

 

This was Gen one of the SLB, which was designed by Stefan Borgström.  I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that his middle name starts with L. 

 

The one I just received is Gen 3, and though it may not look to be updated, I can tell you that making adjustments is much easier than the original/MRH, it doesn't require a thigh pad, it's much lighter overall and it was less expensive.

 

I have the original one that you just showed with the retainer.  But it doesn't fit my 2011's, so it must be for a Tanfo or CZ?????

[Oil or grease?]

Grease gets used on machine guns and loading presses

[Dot bounce issue]

Spring is to heavy like everyone said.

[9mm Major OAL]

1.17 or 1.19 with a blue bullet, 125g or 135g

[Small pistol primers in 9mm major]

For 38super I used to use small rifle primers, but for 9 major i just use spp

I have 2 GR's and love them.  I would like to try an everglades.

[Thumb Rest Angle]

I dont know what angle the Akai thumbrest is, but out of the ones I have tried, I like his best.

[To gas paddle or not?]

I love the Akai *thumb rest [generic]*.

[Clean shot by Lovex]

So I've been shooting this powder a little more now and I'm really liking it especially under a blue bullet. I'm using the 125 RN now and I'm waiting for my 135 TC's to show up, but they said mid December.
