3 of 3 is up explaining the issues and talking about potential solutions.

Thanks guys. It's been a few minutes since our last raffle offering but this one is as good as it even was / as good as it gets in terms of the package and the beneficiary!

Test it.

Unload, unload, unload. No magazine in place, check the chamber visually and with a finger tip. Racking the slide is not enough.

Be in a safe place, don't have it pointed at anything...

Lengthening the lifter makes it harder or impossible to get the slide on. I have (reluctantly) fixed several by removing material from the FP block-- big pain-in-neck and then you have to re-zero...

They are quite loose enough that I feel pretty safe in saying they would never gall. But-- the one time I tried a Ti FP in a 1911, I got misfires. Granted it was with some Brazilian surplus ammo but...

Guys, allow me to update this a little. I don't see a lot of Kimbers but when I do, and when I can, I test for this. I watch for officers carrying 1911's in Patrol Rifle classes and there are...

It's funny sometimes the subtleties that make a big dif on grip safeties in terms of getting it deactivated or not.

I haven't heard anything about that in years and didn't realize it was still offered. I never studied it much.... the same system was used on Paras for a while, right.....? The fact that para used it...

Personal gun I'm working up for myself over the years and a bit of a test bed. The grip safety functions as such but in the end just was not practical from the manufacturing point of view.

I have not re-read the whole thread but did somebody say Browning High Powers don’t have grip safeties…? This one does…..

I'm all for that tuning of a grip safety so it doesn't have to be bottomed out to allow trigger movement. Just to folks know that there is one type of 1911 where that's probably not a good idea,...

Here's a vid of it.

Ambis will be available eventually. What you're seeing there is one I have made into an ambi for a project here.

I knew there would be a demand for ambi but I had to start out simple....

One that's had the paddle abbreviated and reshaped a bit. The shaft has been shortened and bladed to made with a right-hand safety paddle.

Yeah we're working on that GoDaddy thing, should be resolved soon, thanks.

Edit:

It's paid but might take a few days to stop getting the some-times redirect to GD.

I know that needs doing, just need to find the time. I have vids but they are not of a quality suitable for publication.... I have the gun firing with the safety on when I pull the sear pin and I...

Somebody asked to see it "in the gun":

Fallarrest™ is available from me only, at this time. I have not had time to coordinate having them also offered by EGW. I don't think it will be in Brownell's very soon if at all.

I have a 1969 BSA 441 Victor too, does that count for me or against me?:cool:

Well, yeah, I...... hey wait.....

Not under development..... fully developed, all made and ready to ship.

Thanks Shane, always good to be seen!

Hi Guys--

Heard there were some questions-- let's see if I can adequately answer them:

The Fallarrest™ set is intended for installation by a gunsmith who knows the 1911, although there is...
