What happened to the "old cannon" and which "old cannon" was it?
It truly is amazing to see. Thank you for posting!
Quite a number of years ago when ToddG was running his springfield torture test, Jason Burton of Heirloom Precision recommended 14# variable rate springs IIRC. I have a 1911 government 9mm that I...
I would second the recommendatiom for a kart as well. Ned Christiansen also has commented in the past that a Wilson barrel is a good option as well.
Looking at my TRP and Professional, they look...
You don't see much of this these days, imo. Love the high mileage erosion... great pics!

Dammit I got sucked in...
Thank you. I look forward to these newsletters every month!
It almost seems like across the board for the minimal number of rounds expended in a shoot, and based on the descriptions above with terminating the trigger press midway through, that people (LEO and...
I have been keeping my head in the sand on on pistol optics because I simply don't want to spent the money- just running one on a rifle I get it. Buuuut, I am a fudd/purist/whatever when it comes to...
An 18.5# recoil spring resolves that slide reciprocating speed. I'm a fan of 230+P hst as well and that has sorted things out for me. Even a 17# spring seems to work with them a bit, but we are...
I truly believe it is a WC thing. I have the same issue across all of my 1911s, whether in .45 acp or 9mm. I wouldn't think that all I have are out of spec, including my Wilson CQB. Vulgarity...
I'm not on an extremely high level of shooting but my impression is that sometimes, even chasing incremental improvement, technical instructors outside of your typical group can see things that you,...
I would agree but to the point of shouldn't all of the magazines Wilson sells be for all circumstances yet it is widely known that some don't work for long-term and others are considered...

I would second that. With that said, I had a baer in the holster rolling around on the ground and shooting in a class and all the dust that kicked up into the gun (plus all of the residue) caused it...
I think back when ToddG ran is warren 1911, Jason Burton recommended 14# variable rate recoil springs. I have used that in my 9mm 1911 for a couple thousand rounds and the guy I bought it from did...
I'd recommend a wilson bp as well. Though I have read some of Ned Christiansen's posts with an extremely high mileage Colt and Springfield and he seems to like EGW as well, but I don't have any...
What needed repairing??
If I recall correctly, when I got my professional many moons ago and when I got my TRP 2.5 yrs ago, both had 18.5# recoil springs.
It's a really good thread. I've read through it a bunch of times. Seems like some teething issues early on until they were worked out. I wanted a Warren gun after the test but I was a little too...
As a fella who has been taking into serious consideration the change from a 1911 to my P30s, what would interest me would be an upper with a dot system already attached that I can toss on my existing...
I have run 1911s and HKs in the classes I have taken. Overall, I haven't had any problems. My Baer lost its rear sight in the middle of a Langdon class but that's the extent of problems I have had...
I have been carrying a 1911 government in appendix for about 6 years now with 2 spare mags in .45. All year round as well. After having a kid a few months ago, with the current state of the world...
From a dude that shoots 1911s in 45 primarily, and I am certainly not on the shooting level of some of you, I don't get stressed over the bore axis thing. I like my p series HKs, I like my p226 and...
