1911Tuner, Thanks for the help. My CCW is new and I have only fired 300 rounds. Can you please explain at what point in the action that this is happening?

Thank you for the replies. I have a Para CCW and I noticed peening/witness marks in the same place where the recommended bevel would be. The movable link is not contacting, the back end of the guide rod is impacting the barrel/link lugs that the link mounts to. Is this normal? My para came...

I have not tried any other brands. I have seen older model Para CCW's with aftermarket 7 round magazines that fit flush and a Para Companion (same frame size) with Chip McCormick mags that work. I called Chip McCormick industries and they did not have an answer. They suggested that I send it...

I was reading Sweeney's gunsmithing book and he shows a caption of the back end of a full length guide rod with a bevel on it. It states to do this to yours if it is not already. Does this help with wear, lockup, dissasembly or something else?

I purchased a Chip McCormick shooting star 7 rd officers magazine and it does not fit my Para CCW. The base plate seems to be restricting full insertion. Has anyone else heard or seen of this?

I recently made some of the same decisions that you are pondering. My conclusion was to purchase a Para CCW. I found a great deal ($750 NEW)Many feel that it exhibits the best traits, just short enough to carry, long enough for good shootability. I like the combination of features, bobbed...

Thank you for everyones input. I ordered a convertable ITP holster with a thumb break from http://www.tsparksolutions.com/taurisholsters/index.cfm

Rinspeed, Thanks for the info. Your favorite (Alessi) looks very nice. I have a thumb break on all my holsters. I am very active and have a 2 1/2 year old, and I feel more comfortable on the jungle gym with a second layer of protection. Does the Alessi have a tenatious hold? Do...

Rinspeed, I think I would like an IWB to help conceal the muzzle. I have a owb holster for my SP101 that I made removable (snap off) belt straps for so that I can also wear it IWB. I am suprised that no one makes a similar holster.

I have a Para CCW (4.25"). What do you carry your 4 1/4" 1911 in?

It looks like they have the CCW for $851, wow thats high.

I have a USP compact in 40 S&W. It does seem to have a fair amount of muzzle flip. I have fired the USP full size and I felt like it had an extremely controllable and low amount of flip. The full size has a dual coil spring and the compact only has one spring with a small plastic recoil...

I am looking for a Para CCW. The best price I have found is $750. Has anyone seen them for a better price? I keep reading about people finding them for $500-600.

I second GGGMAN and MARKALLEN. I have also hammered out the logistics and come up with the same. SP-101 .357 2 1/4" in Target grey but with a bobbed hammer. I have a Orourke leather pocket holster and a Jaypee OWB belt holster that I have modified with removable(lift the dot snaps)...

Check out http://www.brassfetcher.com/Various%20.38%20Special%20JHPs.html My best guess is that the bullet in the front left side of the block is the Federal 110 PD. It looks like it expanded some, flipped around, and after possibly hitting the side of the box, came to rest at 12" depth. It...

Thanks for everyones input FullEffect1911 I am concerned with over pentration. This is not my carry choice and is stays at home. I see your point about the Hornady. Do you have any other recommendations? Brian Williams About 2 jugs for the Federal. The Hornady definately...

Thanks for the input guys. Anyone else?

Brasso I use Brasso or any other similar brass polishing cotton that comes in a tin can. It is less abrasive than other methods. A retired gunsmith told me about it.

I recently purchased a Rossi 88 stainless 38 special revolver. The factory literature states "non +p" only. Which started my research. The tests on www.brassfetcher.com are very interesting. Especially the Buffalo bore loads, but I decided to search for a more easily/localy obtainable...
