The gun arrived today from John at Proload. He was great to deal with. I had contacted him a few weeks ago to inquire about the availability of these. He said it was uncertain when the next ones would show up, 2 weeks to a couple months. He put my name on one. Called last week. It took a couple days to get things done with the holiday.
It is a full sized Government 1911 in 9mm, arrived today. Did not have time to shoot it. I did do a semi field strip. The barrel bushing turned fairly easily, so I pulled the slide. The barrel bushing had no interest in coming out, so I did not force it. I did put in a slightly lighter recoil spring, and will try it out with that spring first. I can replace the spring at the range if necessary.
The trigger is superb. The manual safety is a bit stiff. Workmanship is great.
It wants to go shooting with it's older and bigger brother.
