Bullet.com?

Lot variation of powder, or temp even though it's noted as being opposite above, maybe Chrono differences too. Could be your powder implementation throwing off charges, I'd start there making sure you're getting 5.7 grsins every time. Of course, you should test some longer (10-20) strings of shots to see what your ED and SD are overall.

Site is down for good.

Ive had positive experiences with L&M and Primary Machine in the past, but there are quite a few people who do RMR cuts.

Any dot'd gun forces you to 'point down.' I'd recommend a CZ or Tanfoglio.

Your fud FFL probably heard, "CZ," and shut their brain off there. Slide stop breakages is an easily fixed, scheduled-maintenance, problem in CZ's, but we're talking about the big-boy Czechmate. I'd say do it, even if you have a timing issue (not very likely) and shear your bottom (barrel) lugs, a barrel can be fit pretty easily for the whopping cost of $150. I was excited that Czechmates are back in the US, but they've raised the price...

Depends. If you're handy with some tools and don't afraid of anything, you can get a stock SP01, and follow Atlas's trigger job guide. There's still the issues if you don't want to do that work, buy the new higher-quality parts that get you close to Shadow money, I'd really recommend just going with the Shadow and jamming with an awesome gun out of the box.

I've never heard of someone switching to a harder slide stop or the pin, and having increased wear on their barrel, frame, or anything else.

What kind of fat?
What do you eat for dinner?
Animal fats, oils, and advacados too. Dinner is a some kind of fatty meat, maybe fried with a pork rind or almond flour batter. Light salad with homemade vinigrette. Maybe tacos with shells made out of cheese. There's a whole lot of free recipes on the web.

A friend tried the almost zero carb diet. He was drinking nearly a gallon of water a day. Stud he was thirsty all the time. Anyone familiar with this ?
Ye, carbs in your body leads to more retention of water. It's vital to not only drink a gallon of water, but to up your salt intake a whole lot. The 'FDA' levels of sodium are too low on a low/zero carb diet.

+1 for the keto diet. Dropped 16 pounds in the past two weeks. Quick run down on the diet is 70% of diet from calories from fat, 25% protein, then 5% in the form of carbs from veggies; your body runs on ketone (fat) instead of glucose. After a few weeks-months your body oxidizes fat 2x faster. Other interesting tidbit is a doctor out of Duke University completely cured type 2 diabetes in dozens of patients overy the course of a few years. The Standard American Diet and it's 11 servings of grains is why we have so much obesity, diabetes, and cancer!

Coconut water is a good one, however, I'm on a Ketogenic diet so chicken bRoth out of the container is best.

Too much caffeine?

Nothing, I prefer silence.

ONLY being 73, I also have ALWAYS shot with both eyes open ....
Dang, got me beat! I wasn't told by my father to close one eye learning to shoot, and when I was on the Internet later one, it seemed that one eye open went with the weaver and teacup catagory.

They're okay. There's a few reports of cracking, but I probably wouldn't worry about it. If there's multiple gun stores in your area, check out several of them. They have a propensity to be loose in the frame/slide department, see if they rattle or how the fit is in general. Of course, you'll want to check the barrel fit by feel and the ability to rattle as well.

Believe you me, EGW is worth it. Haven't check back in since a few days ago, but they are out right now.

Brownell's has a great guide, but requires their tools. If your looking for an evening hobby to pick up. Download both of the Jerry Kuhnhausen 1911 shop PDFs and Google our polishing and stoning options.

Back the overtravel screw all the way out and try it if you haven’t already. Hold the trigger rearward and pull the hammer back and forth with your ear against the frame. Listen for any clicking noise of the hammer at the engagement point.
Do this first, if that clears, then it'll be your sear/disconnect and it's relationship your hammer, where you'll need to fit all three just to get all that done. And your spring sear tinkering is correct. I doubt it's an out-of-spec frame, but wouldn't leave that out.

Considering our WA championship had multiple 40 round stages, it can be worth it to get more than 21 rounds. Of course, you'll be better suited to just plan your courses and reloads so you're never in slidelock.

Polarized cheap wayfarers to oakley m-frames, no problems here.

You have a comp? I do know WWB is 'hotter' and has more velocity, though that might be a combo of bullet construction and powder used.
-
I got both, and two of the DPP. One of the DPP has an okay mildly-'splatered' dot, but one needs to go back to Leupold, as it has a terrible 11 o clock to 5 o clock oblong 'shooting star' dot. My Romeo 3 has a beutiful, crisp dot that works well with both my eyes, and image intensification devices

As an open-gun user, or user of handgun compensator, what is, or would be, your preferred layout of ports? Do you like having the top and side ports all on one plane, or do you like having the vertical and horizontal ports having their own 'section'? Bigger or smaller ports? Thanks a million!
