Hope the loads work out. Easier slide movement will be the main reason for me to get the 80X instead of my 81BB. A 32 ACP version with a recoil spring a bit lighter than the 380 would be nice.

Any updates on your 81BB vs your new 80X? I have an 81BB. Great little pistol for my wife as well. Is there any disadvantage of having an 80X instead of the 81BB? How does the recoil compare?

What’s your sleep number?
My pistol arrived from Colt today. New slide. Nice, sharp 90 degree edges on the lug recesses. Looks great.
Thanks Wayne Dobbs

I received a letter in my mailbox today from Colt dated 2/28/2020.
They will be installing a new slide. No cost.
I sent my pistol in today, Colt customer service said I should expect 6 weeks.
Those pictures look a lot like my slide. My pistol seems to lock up tight like yours.
Colt is sending me a return authorization. I explained the issue to the customer service rep and they want to...
Thanks a lot Wayne, I appreciate the help.
2017 Series 80 .45 Colt Competition Model.
The bevels are deep and long. The barrel can only lock into about 1/4 of the total lug area.
I guess Colt machines it that way now. All of my older slides have sharp 90 degree angles where the recesses are cut into the slide.
Thanks, but that’s just my poor photography. Nothing is broken, missing, or worn in. The part that looks broken is actually just the forward recess in the ejection port. The beveled areas I’m...
I found a possible issue in my used Colt .45 Government. Unfortunately, I did not notice this before I bought the pistol. It was probably built about three years ago and looks like it hasn’t been...
SG Ammo has some of the 124 and 147 Syntech in stock. No 150 grain.
I carry a 92 Compact, usually in a JMCK AIWB holster.
I use a spurless hammer because it helps prevent the hammer from inadvertently catching on something and getting cocked, and therefore...
Does this help? I’m not sure what the different shape barrel lug accomplishes from an engineering/dwell time point of view. Tom_Jones any ideas?
The 9mm is on top, 380 on the bottom.

I own both a 380 and a 9mm EZ. Both have thumb safeties.
I bought the 380 EZ when they were first released. I have a family member with arthritis. The 380 EZ has been perfect for her. All of the...
They are less expensive right now if you don’t mind “seconds”.

This load is the best I’ve found for milder 45 loads in my pistol. I...
Just finished another 5,000 rounds of Berry’s Manufacturing 185 HBRN reloads in my Ithaca without any malfunctions. That makes 10,000 straight rounds of the “Geezer Load” in this pistol with no...
Thanks, couldn’t have done it without you....
Your rear sight in .305 with the fiber front is the best LTT combo for me.
If you are just pulling the trigger, not practicing reloads, a foam earplug can also work. An earplug adds an additional safety layer too if a live round is ever in the chamber.

JMCK quit making holsters for them last year. PJ Holsters is probably the best 3913/6906 option right now.

CNC Warrior folding stock came in this week. Rock solid like you said. Thanks for the advice.
I ordered the NATO length, LOP is 13 5/8”, 14 1/8” with the optional rubber buttpad. My standard wood...
Which 7.62x39 barrel have you been using?
Thanks. Looks like they have a NATO length now as well.
Anybody have experience with the CNC Warrior side fold stock? Looks like a good option for a side folder with a standard rear trunnion.
