    I could try that. At least I wouldn’t have an empty dovetail. The sight on it is a narrow fiber optic, but I’d be cutting it off below the fiber so it could work. I think it would be a little...

    No, my Romeo X Compact won’t fit into the footprint milled for an EPS Carry, but it is so low that the dot height is just about identical with the original sights, which is exactly what I wanted. And...

    There’s play in the barrel to slide fit as well, both at the bushing and hood. I don’t think it’s so excessive that Ruger would do anything, it’s just disappointing. My expectations are probably too...

    I picked up a .45, as I’ve been wanting a LW 5” for some time. It was a few features I like, but I was immediately disappointed by how loose it is. It’s the loosest 1911 I’ve had yet, at least before...

    Maybe read their Facebook reviews first.
    I sent them a slide. USPS tracking said they got it Feb 26. I finally got it back April 12. Not at all the 2-3 weeks they said. Their communication in that...

    How is the extraction? The thread you reference above has a number of reports that the bolt is hard to open in some chamberings.

    Spare parts

    Just think of it as one pistol with lots of spare parts. If you only have one, you want lots of spare parts. I don’t see why all the spares have to be identical.

    ETA: I replied before I read the...

    Looks like Nameless Armament is one that won’t do the deeper adjustable sight cut slides.

    Another I hadn’t heard about until recently is Green Tick Tactical. Reviews look good, price is good. I...

    My research indicates that Bomar and LPA sight cuts are too deep to be removed by milling for a red dot. This leaves the EGW plate that fits in the sight cut the only option. I hope this isn’t true. ...

    Look into Macon Armory’s DI upper. Using his mag block and mags I get excellent reliability with all bullet profiles I tried.

    I agree. Buying a lightweight hunting rifle and then adding a scope that weighs 20-25% of the rifle weight doesn’t make sense. I’m in the market for a new scope for a new rifle and I think I’ll be...

    I took mine back off, after using it for years. I had it work loose a couple of times, and it adds a lot of weight. The bolt extension weighed too much for my subsonic loads so I got an aluminum one...

    I’ve worn Transitions for...decades. I live in one of the coldest places in the country. I haven’t noticed any real problem or found a better option. Admittedly the pistols I use the most do not have...
