tomjerry1 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 thanks, looks interesting, may have to give it a try. I did something similar to an XDM, had someone that is good at welding put a tab on, works great. I have been looking at a gun taht looks very similar to what SCTaylor has, but will probably wait for another Pro 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hump Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well , I used mine in its first 3gun match today. Let's just say it's performance was less than stellar. I ended up calling it a day half way through the shoot . Too many failures to extract. The slide would come all the way back and then forward to try and strip anotherround from the mag only to be stopped by the empty case still in the chamber causing a jam. When time counts , that blows your day. Because I will be asked I was running 125gr RN I had to tune the extractor on my 9mm to get it to run 100%. I also installed a Wilson Combat Bullet Proof extractor in my 9 and 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debob Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I have ran mine with .40 minor and major to include federal factory 180 and had zero issues with the gun so far. I have had a issue with the nickel para P16 mags from midway and Dawson plates. They are to short and won't lock up without a good smacking, seems the mag being short causes the base plate to hit the mag well. Now the factory ACT mags from Greg Cotes are 100% so far.

Debob Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Good deal! Last night I got 20 in 2 mags but one was a bear, only taking 18. I'll let them sit for a few days before checking again. It worked great. Got 20 in all 3 ACT mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Wilson combat and it runs like I stole it now. Been using it for over a year in 3 gun love it.

usmc90 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Usmc - how much had you shot it prior to the match?

bamabound Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Picked up my RIA 51782 40 S&W and got home to find this..Let it roll until it gets worse (if it gets worse) or address this with Armscor right off the bat? I had to get it online and didn't break it down in store.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Oh boy, call them now! If they don't have that frame anymore, since it's the light rail, you might just get the new frame. Sorry bud! Glad I didn't get that one form Elk's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamabound Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Does anyone have the standard length gun craft mag release or a picture of it? Maybe even a extended length but the darn things are elusive.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightops Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I have the gun craft releases in my guns, what do you want to know about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamabound Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I was just wanting to see a picture of the standard length or the extended length to see if I could skate by with the standard length or for me to wait for the extended lengths to come back.

Nightops Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The "button" releases are just a regular release that is drilled and tapped and has a screw in oversize button. So without the button, or some other oversize head, it is no taller or wider than the factory release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamabound Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I have the 51782 TAC Ultra FS HC 40 S&W and am wanting to change the sights. For whatever reason my firearm isn't listed on Armscor's website anymore, for reference due to it being similar to the 51679 its listed as having a "LPA MPS1-Type Rear Sight" which is identical to what might is wearing. Would I be able to just change it to any LPA cut type sight...it does have LPA listed on my rear sight. I know some of the other 1911s from Armscor have the "Novak" type sight. Dawson only offers a couple of different options as most of them being fixed and would like to have to luxury of adjustable sights. What have y'all done?

From what I understand there were two different lengths, a standard length and an extended length. I understand the oversized button just thought there was some sort of extended length that extends the mag release itself and then the button screws into it.
