Should be issue-free in excellent shape with no mods/home gunsmithing and clean breech face.
Thanks,

This was all very helpful. Thank you guys.

I have never fired any discipline other than Bullseye. My club is starting a winter, indoor air pistol event. The above pistol is for sale locally. I know nothing about how this model works but my only concern right now is getting it charged with air. The seller states that it uses "compressed ...

Eley Orange and Cello together have accounted for about 1 in 300 of the type of flawed round that you're describing. Given that they group a bit better than CCI and CCI has had about the same failure rate, I'm sticking with Eley. They are about fifty percent higher priced but the accuracy improvemen...

I should have mentioned that I shoot irons only so it is with this configuration only that I am looking for input. I'm actually considering the six inch 45 for a new, complete lower that I've had for a while. But as many have already said, it doesn't seem to offer anything. I would like the extra ma...

I am almost out of my supply of Zero 200 grain lswc's. They were a huge order placed years ago and are all flat based. After quite a bit of recent struggle with bevel based 158's for my model 14, I melted them all down and used the metal to cast my own Lyman 358311 which shoot under two inches at fi...

I've read from quite a few high level shooters, both past and present, nearly unanimous preference for standard five inch 1911's ,when the subject of long slides comes up. Why do you think then are there so many six inch Clark/Giles, etc. long slide guns out there being resold? The predominant conce...

NukeMMC,
I looked up the club locations of the participating clubs and they are all 2-3 hours from my area? Who is making this drive? I better check which location my profile is showing now that I think of it. I am now in Harleysville, PA

That’s what I did yesterday. Actually I stretched out the original spring maybe ten percent and it got me just over the 2.5 pound limit but I’ll get a couple of additional springs made to the exact specs I need. Thanks for the tip.

Original owner. Recently installed Volquartsen trigger and Clark hammer, pin, and bushing. (Original hammer, sear, springy things...). No other aftermarket work. Trigger is TOO light to meet NRA rules. It is a few ounces below two pounds. I have a local pistolsmith who does great work but I do not h...

A great shooter from this sport's past has stepped up. Thanks all for the input.

Southeast PA location, 30 min north of Philly, 30 min south of Allentown. Willing to drive reasonable distances at some frequency for 1:1 live fire coaching. Does not need to be M/HM as some are genuinely great at coaching only so I would not be opposed to a non-shooting coach. Of course, any M/HM w...

That's the hammer or "main" spring. Background; Many years ago, not wanting to spend time dialing in a load, I loaded up the 185 and 200 SWC's with 4.1 gr bullseye for my45 acp wadcutter. I got two and a quarter inch groups off a rest at fifty yards and called it good enough. No culling ou...

Thank you guys.

That's actually not a bad answer Steve. Just hearing that someone else also doesn't have the answer, helps me understand a bit more about the process. That it is difficult to explain is actually useful. I get as far at to send a message to initiate squeeze and "most" of the time this gets ...

I have been spending the past year while allowing my shoulder to heal, studying the fields of habbit (automaticity), motor learning, and the neuroscience of multitasking. The consensus is that one can not concentrate (directing attention to stimuli coming in to any of our five senses, PLUS internal ...

Thanks for the tips folks.
I'm pretty sorted out I think, based on good results and a comfortable but still precise sight picture, with a 3.0mm front and a 4.0mm rear notch.

Very interesting concept regarding symmetry. I like it very much. In fact at my skill level I have to work on enough as it is so I really don't put much thought in to the space above my sight set and beneath the bull and it seems as if my brain wants to put about the same amount of space here as is ...

I've read Nygord, Yur yev and others mention the popular front/rear ratio as either 1:1:1 or 1:2:1. I am assuming that this is "perceived" ratio and not actual measured ratio. Correct? If so, then when I trig it out, I get, for example with the 1:2:1 ratio sight set, a rear notch that shou...

I just looked at the Accuracy-X site for the first time; I don't notice things nearly as quickly as most others I suppose. It seems as though we are headed in to a very exciting period regarding this age-old and very nostalgic process of accurizing the 1911 (or building one from scratch for BE), wit...
