I like it, and am considering swapping out the night sights for a Novak gold bead setup on it, as well. A friend uses those, and recommended I should try one.
On one of the guns, I had a gold bead front sight installed. Once the safeties were converted to or swapped for Mil-Spec, I could use a low thumb without issue. When I would use a low thumb, I'd frequently flip the lever to safe during recoil. With one of the extended safeties, I had issues resting a high thumb on the safety lever, as the friction of my thumb against the slide caused some FTRBs. On two of them, had the extended safeties either milled down to, or changed for, Mil-Spec. I don't carry this one either but I would not hesitate to. And I have had other 1911's that were downright finicky and so unreliable that I would never carry them. I have found they get more temperamental with each modification. It has turned out to be reliable and is easy to shoot with one hand.Īll that said they can be vexing to modify and keep reliable. The little 1911's are pretty fast to cycle and the mag spring can be a source of unreliable feeding.ĭid all that to make it controllable and more fun to shoot than most small 1911's. The mag springs affirmatively push a round up. The Beavertail preserves the web of my hand. The barrel bushing was just to tighten up the barrel slide fit a bit over the stock bushing. The only reason I put the full length guide rod in it was to add some more friction and assist the firing pin block in slowing things down.
I learned about the squared firing pin stop and 24 pound main spring combo (from 1911Tuner) as a means to increase the leverage over the slide and to slow the slide down a bit. Colt Magazines with fresh Wilson extra power mag springs. Put a Wilson bullet proof extractor in it. Added a barrel bushing that I had to fit by hand. Hand fitted a square bottomed firing pin stop. Reverse recoil spring plug, full length guide rod with a flat wound spring.
