    How to fix a loose 1911 ejector

    for some people, replacing the old ejector with a new one may not be necessary as long as you catch it early before it damages the ejector legs. this is a quick cheap fix for it. i recommend you ask the manufacturer what they think would be the best course of action. my pistols manufacturer...

    Machinegun video I made - different ammo affecting cyclic rate.

    remington ammunition is dirty, underloaded, overpriced crap. i shoot wwb because it's cheaper, more consistent and it's burns pretty clean compared to remington or federal.

    Rock Island Armory 1911 Torture Test

    ruger, i like that comment you left. i never said a bad thing about the higher end pistols. i was just showing that a low end one works fine and you dont have to dump 1,000 on a colt 1911 to get a reliable pistol. i will be the first to admit that, there are minor QC issues with the RIA 1911's...

    1911 nosediving when dirty.

    could be. i don't think it's making it to the extractor tho. usually the extractor will cause a stem bind. i need to reproduce the malfunction and see if it is the extractor. i'm gonna shoot it some today and find out. the smith told me to just use a heavier recoil spring, but that only covers...

    1911 nosediving when dirty.

    it's doing it on the first round of an 8 round ACT and Mec Gar mag, but only when it's dirty. ammo used is wincester white box. i measured the OAL of the rounds and they are fine. so i should send it back again?

    1911 nosediving when dirty.

    i have a RIA 1911 tactical and after i fire ~60 rounds of WWB, i start getting nose dives into the feed ramp. when i clean it the problem goes away. it is a somewhat new gun (less than 300 rds), but have never known a nose dive, to be a typical break-in malfunction. is this typical of 1911's...
