Nope. Remove old MSH, check new MSH for fit (it may need some minor fitting), install new MSH, function check.

Wasn't this same question answered in this thread you started 2 months ago? http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=386641 Despite that, people buy them because they're cheap. They are not built for long term use, and will not stand up to it. However, there are those people in the world...

Anyone else starting to smell troll? At any rate, I would highly encourage the OP to seek out some professional firearms training. The attitude displayed in his posts clearly indicate a poor understanding of the mindset required to carry a weapon for self defense, and seems highly likely to...

Did you seriously just quote a blog as a "credible" source? One, don't believe every urban legend you read on the internet. A bullet hole will not depressurize a plane, despite what you saw in Goldfinger. Two, the Federal Air Marshal Service issues Sig Sauer 229's in .357 Sig, and no they...

High Standard branded 1911's are now manufactured in the Philippines, they are roughly equivalent to Rock Island and Charles Daly. Not a horrible choice for an entry level gun, but far from the best choice. There are "drop in" parts out there, but they generally don't drop in without fitting...

Non chlorinated brake cleaner and Gun Scrubber are virtually the same thing, and neither will leave a residue. Carb cleaner usually has a lubricant added, and it will leave a residue.

Nothing wrong with a Rock Island, but it certainly doesn't make sense to dump a bunch of money into one. You're trying to make chicken soup out of chicken poop, and it just doesn't work.

My everyday rig is a Mitch Rosen ARG on a beltman belt. I carry a 5" 1911 every day, 12-14 hours a day with this setup and it conceals easily with either an untucked polo or t shirt.

Usually 500 rounds, and a minimum of 250 rounds of that will be whatever round will be carried in the gun.

While they aren't my choice for carry, I would much rather see someone carry the WWB JHP's and practice with them than carry premium load and be afraid to shoot them due to the cost.

My typical office wear is an untucked polo with jeans, so I have much carry flexibility- Full size 1911 of one variety or another IWB in a Rosen ARG Spare magazine OWB Beltman belt S&W 637 in a Galco Ankle Glove Streamlight TL-2 OWB if dark or approaching dark SOG Trident SOG Flash Wallet Keys...

Recoil isn't bad at all from the Mk23, though I believe this has to do more with the fact that the thing weighs about 97 pounds than it does any recoil reduction system. Seriously though, the thing is huge. If you're looking for a one gun solution for HD, carry, etc., the Mk23 would not be...

Slightly shortened stock with Limbsaver recoil pad, 6 rd sidesaddle left, buttcuff right, Streamlight with pressure pad, and many, many, many rounds downrange.

Not a handgun, but I once bought a Marlin 336 in .219 Zipper because I had bought a large lot of reloading equipment from an old gentleman who had quit reloading, and in it was dies, brass, and bullets for several old cartridges, the largest quantity being the .219 stuff.

Personally I like the wear, it gives it nice character. I'd leave it as is.

.38 Super was actually a popular LE round in the 20's and 30's, favored for it's greater penetration vs. the body armor of the day.

Another great looking piece of history. I envy your collection!

While that's true, as a civilian you are not shooting to kill the threat, you are shooting to stop the threat. Subtle difference, but critical from a legal standpoint. They are certainly still effective, but they are a 20+ year old design, and there are better options available now. If you...

IIRC, they will work, but the feed lip geometry is different, and they shouldn't trusted for carry.

I run a minimum of 200-250 of whatever round I'm going to carry in a gun before it ever gets carried, and practice with my carry ammo periodically thereafter. I shoot about 1,000 rounds a year of carry ammo, weighted toward the guns I carry most. I also work up reloads for each gun to practice...
