This is why I still love this place. Thanks guys - I mean that.
I like a deeper rear notch, and like a narrower front. How about the Defoor's?

Quick pic, as promised. Still sorting out the details, but the 22 seems to be GTG also. I tend to prefer 4 o'clock position. Sights still up in the air. Heinies, and some others ordered up.

1911/1935 - no issues at all. I love them dearly. Just growing up, I suppose.
Barrels: I have a 2" at 25yrd requirement. It is one of those things I won't budge from. And that's the upper limit. I...
Thanks all for the kind words.
I ran a hundred rounds through it this AM before work, and #1 was with me all day. It was weird not needing suspenders to keep my pants up.
In so far as sights...
After a traveling/airline security issue a 1911, I'm transitioning to the Gen4 G17. I actually like the G22 better, but whatever.
Picked up a couplethree of them, still have an (unwise)...
I use a DA sander and go for a finer finish. Older pans were finished, I don't think newer ones are.
I use 220 grit and go till the surface looks satin. Takes about 5 min. Then throw it on the...
Thanks for everything, Todd.
Especially shooting know-how and grammar/spelling jabs.
Yes and no. If the only thing you were changing were the slide mass, then yes. It would.
If I were interested in doing a 9mm "1911", I'd be looking at the no lug 9mm barrels.
JMO, YMMV, CHBQ'ed
I really didn't mean this the way, even though I wrote it....
Should be:
That gun, because of the location of the barrel bed, contained a bag full of fleas.... My apologies to Mr Smith and...
"Metric" SAs, meaning Imbel. There is a significant difference between the Imbel guns and the NM guns. I don't know anyone who would prefer to build on an Imbel gun over an NM gun. Granted there are...
Big prts - Colt or Wilson. That's all I buy now.
Parts - I am refering to EGW.
Metric guns - never had an opportunity, so that is more relaying second hand information than anything else. I...
Depends. For example, Wilson makes parts to fit Wilson slides/frames.
Other parts companies make parts to fit generically. Lots of "parts companies" use one particular company run by a top notch...
Here is the story on that pistol, from my perspective.
1. Jason Burton is one of the top 2 actual, practicing, does his own work 1911 gunsmiths out there.
2. That gun, because it used a Caspian...
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm out. The one thing that has been said that is true, is no one asked me to leave ever.
That said, somewhere along the line here it became OK to attack character without...

I'm not quite sure why you carry that hate-torch for me quite so enthusiastically.
But to set the story straight, what, exactly, did I do to people that was so despicable? Unless John Johnston is...
Actually, I have sold most (still have 7 or 8, all TSGs) my 1911s. I got back into benchrest (I'm a 600/1000yrd guy), and am currently tripping out on BHPs. My life changed for the better recently,...
I never really quit, it just worked out from a timing perspective that I was going to back off anyway.
I'll shed some light -
A few things happened, and a SME on the forum took it upon himself (without what I would term due diligence) to "protect the public" against me. The things I did, as they...
To all:
There seems to be some misunderstanding of some issues involved here, so I'll try to set the story straight. As some of you have noted, I can come off a bit arrogant and/or condescending....
Nope. No armorer's schools, no gunsmith colleges or classes. Never taught at one, either.
I have, however, an earned engineering doctorate, several patents issued, had my professional publications...
Not just 1911 or BHP extractors, but JMB locked breech, tilt bbl extractor design and function. First some pics to seed the ground:
