Gentlemen, do you know where I can get replacement magazine springs for my Marvel Conversion magazines?
These are the older mags made by Metalform.
Thanks.

California, or CAT. Just purchased an 8 gallon oil less compressor and it is quiet. I can run it at midnight with no issues. And it is compact, and it doesn't flip 15 amp breakers.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered one from Lowes for $155.00 with free shipping. On sale to 3/12.

CCI had issues recently with their .22 LR SV. Gobs of extra wax on the bullets.

I also shoot the Shadow 2 but havent found an accurate handload yet. shoots 115gr white box target ok. the gun is heavy and rock solid.i especially like option for DA first or
cocked and locked with safety on.
As a baseline, you may want to try Atlanta Arms Match ammo. Very consistent.

Rich did fine work and is the nicest man you'd meet. I wish him well.

Same here. Lay a towel on the garage floor and pound it out
And after that, you can remove the sights.

I've done a lot of my own work on my revolvers and it's not that difficult using the right stones and watching the video. Just take your time and leave the Dremel out of your hands.
I did my 986. It came out better than I expected. Jerry's video helped alot.
Nowhere near Mark's, but not bad.
The Dremel's are for the pros.

Atlanta Arms has been great ammo, especially the 1.174 OAL.
+1 for Atlanta Arms. It's been the most accurate in my guns and their QC is top-notch.

I haven’t heard of this builder. Does he make all types of 1911/2011 guns?
You also have K.C.Crawford in North Carolina:

KC is also a great guy.

You can. I do it all the time. Usually 900-1100.
You guys beat me to it.
I really like the titanium cylinders. They spin SO easily.

Steve is a stand-up guy for sure. As a competitor, he understands what we want and what's important to us.
Unlike some other 1911 builders, Accuracy X is not just a boutique shop.

I would not waste my time sending it back to S&W. I would send it to Pinnacle and have Mark make into exactly what you want.
Nowadays, If I buy a new gun, I fully expect to send it out and have it worked on.
Craftsmanship is a thing of the past with factory guns.

I bought a 6” 610. I’ve wanted a 10mm pistol for deer hunting for a while, but couldn’t justify the high cost of an auto. I broke my leg this fall and thought shooting Revo would be entertaining while I recovered. Add those together, and the 610 was justified (at least in my mind).
What I’ve learned:
1. Revo is fun!!
2. Revo major is a severe handicap. Standing reloads are unavoidable. If you want to be competitive, minor with 8 rounds is the way to go.
3. Gunbroker and bourbon do not mix. I got an unbelievably great deal on a 4” 610 when my low ball bid actually won. So now I have 2 610s.

I really want to see the inside of one. Fourteen less parts. Thank God.

I'm needing a new prescription for my shooting glasses, so I checked this thread. Great info here.
I have the Pilla Rx glasses. I can wear them all day and not notice them. The Rx insert works great as it's fully adjustable.
I highly recommend them.

I had 4 Pythons, 2 Troopers and a Detective Special back when they were making them. The factory action was better than a Smith out of the box. Not nearly as good as a tuned Smith. The Pythons didn't hold up to a lot of use and were finicky to work on. Parts were hard to get and expensive back then, more so now. I was shooting around 30,000 38s and about 3000 357s a season in the late 70's, to early 90's. A Python wouldn't stay working for one season, a Smith would go for 2 or 3 in a row. The Troopers had a heavy, clunky action. I don't know what they are like now.
I'll take a 686 or other Smith over a Python any day for shooting. You can get 4 of them for the price of one old time Python. The Colt is nicer to look at, though.
Right on the money. I've handled and shot dozens of Pythons. Even owned some over the years. For $1500, you could get a 686, have it tuned, buy ammo, and be ready to go.
The 50's and 60's Pythons are real purty, though. Colt stole the wide-spur hammer and the sight rib from King Gunworks.

"Pythons"
Just like the new Detec.... I mean "Cobra"They'll sell a ton of them.
It's the cult of the Horse.

Thanks.

Anyone here held or even seen a 92FS grip reduced to the Vertec configuration?
-
I did it once. Never again.

I've been there. Drove myself nuts. I wound up throwing them out.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I've had a spring tester Brownells that I've used for at least 7 years now. I dig it out at the beginning of the season to check and replace springs if necessary.
I have the older "fish-scale" type tester. I do like the updated digital version a bit better. I'll get one during the black Friday sales.

Set mine up yesterday. One of the best things I've ever bought. Super quiet and a large enough reserve tank.
