Some time back...maybe even a year or so ago, 1911tuner talked about the best springs to put in the CheckMate magazines and I've forgotten over time which or what it was. Anyone remember or can point me to that thread? I couldn't find it.

Looking to buy several Tripp or CheckMate mags for the 1911 but I couldn't find a lot of info as to the springs they use...especially CM. As we all know, springs can make or break a magazine and I didn't know if they used their own or Wolff springs. Top Gun Supply sells CM mags but there's no...

Some time back, maybe early last year or so, Tuner had a lengthy discussion about 1911 magazines, followers and types of mag lips. I can't find it anywhere after a search. Does anyone remember where it could be found? **UPDATE** I found it.

I love the 1911-I really do but sometimes I feel like just trading them for something else. I went to the range today to try out the XSE Commander after giving it a bit more tension than it had(about 12 ounces) and according to the Weigand extractor tool and my trigger pull gauge I had about...

Took my favorite Commander to the range this morning along with two new CM mags with flat, dimpled followers and 11# Wolff springs. The second magazine with GDHP's it gave a FTRTB issue. That was with the USGI mag. I tried another new one with the same follower design and spring except this one...

Up until now I had mostly taken several of these mags to the range and loaded a full 7 round mag with the slide open and no problem. I hadn't had the need for an instance of inserting these mags fully loaded into either the SW1911SC or Commander with the slide closed but decided to use one as a...

I've been considering a full size HK USP in 45 but cant find one locally to see just how big it is in comparison to the USP Compact. Does anyone know if it's comparable to the SW 4506? I can identify with that.

I posted this problem on another forum and it's had 38 views but no suggestions. Maybe no one knows. At any rate, I did not have fun at the range this morning. I took my two favorite buds out for a run(XSE Commander and SW1911SC) to try different mags and loads and got several malfunctions with...

I received the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook today and was a bit surprised at some of the loads for 357 Magnum. With HS-6, one of my favorites, the starting load for a 158 gr LSWC(#358156) was 8.8 gr and max at 9.7 gr. The 158 gr #358665 was 9.2 and max 10.2. These are all pretty much on par with...

I'm giving consideration to have my SP101 machined to accept moon clips and wondered if anyone had this done before and what you now thing of them. The only place I know of seems to do superb work is TK Custom. http://www.moonclips.com/
