let's fix it from experience, i can tell you that there is a fix for your problem. try BC Armory for one of their function/accuracy packages. i have used them five or six times for both revolver and auto. their Smith and Wesson trigger jobs have no equal. their 1911 work follows with the...

i have owned both which one turns you on when you look at it and handle it? i hate to say that we are all so shallow, but cool guns are just that--COOL. SATISFY YOUR AESTHETIC PREFERENCES AND BE SURE THAT BOTH WILL SHOOT UNDER TWO INCHES AT 25 YARDS.:D

if i remember correctly the Ed Brown MSH is a two piece affair. you might try a one piece mainspring housing with magwell or go back to EB for his 2-piece unit. i replace all my factory parts with one that has a combined magwell. you will need bumpers on your mags but i think al your...

the dead of night the best handgun for every purpose is the one you can grab and load in your bedroom at pitch black midnight with your wife screaming and you are aware of multiple intruders in your home. for me that's a Glock. i have worked on them for 15 years and know every part and where...

i just finished building a 1911 for a friend. the gun is in 10mm and has a 5" barrel. it is really tight as a new gun should be. i put a 24 pound spring in it and it took all of my fat ass to rack the slide, so i changed it to a 17 pound spring with a recoil reducer guide rod. the gun...

i just got a new citadel 1911 in 9mm and i couldn't be happier. the only thing i can't figure out is how to remove the ambidextrous thumb safety. i have tried and tried but it won't wiggle out like my other 1911s. there is a pin protruding on the right side to hold the safety in place and i...

i did something stupid i bought a Gen 4 Glock 26 lower reciever thinking that scoring a slide would be cake. not so fellow gun enthusiasts. all the aftermarket slides are Gen 3 and Glock Inc won't sell me one. if anybody hears of a Gen 4 G26 or G 27 slide i am a buyer. thanks in...

good advice you are getting good advice but no one has mentionrd the mainspring. the factory mainspring runs about 28 lbs.--ouch. why not replace it with a 19.5 lb. spring since you want a lighter trigger and you already have the gun apart. i took my ILS out and used a stock mainspring cap...

ditto for what has gone before. just unscrew and remove the forward half of the guide rod and the disassemble as usual with your bushing wrench. i hope its this simple.

well well well i just got the safety plunger stuck in a series 80 slide and it will not come out. before i resort to explosives can anyone remember a similar situation and its corrective action?:banghead:

quit pulling your hair out call John at East Orange Shooting Sports in Winter Park and tell him what you want and the discount prices you have found. EOSS has a nice indoor range so that you can buy it and shoot it in the same day.:evil:

how do you figure the correct height for the front sight on a 1911? does barrel length have anything to do with, and if so what is the formula? thanks for playing!:what:

i am about to embark on a CCO project. but, looking at it, what are the changes that need to be made to the MSH and associated hardware. is the mainspring shorter? does the sear spring change? thanks old buddy.

I know, I know i have been thru the gun again is something Tuner said about the overtravel screw.it was screwed way in and i felt it should be out wore and and so i did it and seems to work fine.

maybe, kinda', finally sice we spoke, i changed a couple of things. i ran it out and changed the MSH> it seemed to work . now i'll take it an shoot it.
