@ Black Talon: I don't think that you can fire any primer indoors without ear-pro. Even the primer-only .22 rounds made my ears ring when playing in the garage, and that was out of a 16" bolt action, rather than a pistol.

You missed the part where this was from 5 years ago, didn'tcha.

Okay, so with a .026" shim (.019" won't cut it), I'm getting an average of .154 (+/-002) between the top of the barrel & slide. Shimless & in battery, I'm getting .126" at rest, or as much as .136" if I press the barrel down first. The first lug (part of the chamber) has right at .056" depth...

As I would prefer this to be an entirely academic discussion, I'd rather not mention the manufacturer. Let it suffice that they are a reputable company with a reputation for excellent customer service. My primary questions are 1) is this even an issue, and 2) what do you suppose the cause is...

Hello all, So I've got this fullsize 5" 1911 and an engineer I work with mentioned that it might need looking at as the vertical lockup is a bit shallow. The slide stop pin shows a great bit of wear in the link area for 700 rounds, the barrel's bottom lugs show almost no wear, it seems like...
