1911 Link-Up Feeding Issue. 1911 Tuner?

Not gonna argue this pointless point any more. I refuse to call it the throat. I also maintain that the barrel ramp is a clearance. Hope that doesn't ruffle too many feathers.

Yes, agreed, the throat should be referring to the leade, but why do you in your sticky's Ramp and Throat Job constantly refer to the barrel ramp as the throat as you clearly do, you surely aren't talking about the leade. Stating consistently in terminology improves understanding, and chiding one who has learned differently, doesn't deserve ridicule. Thanks for the banter!

AAHHH! So that's how it's measured. Now I know how to check that when I get ready to install the barrel on the build I'm about to start. The new Caspian slide arrived yesterday and the frame should arrive in a couple or three weeks.

Glad you posted that. Thanks!

Now back to the OP's original question.....

When the icons of the 1911 Industry, men such as Austin Behlert, Armand Swenson, Jim Clark Sr., Bill Wilson, Bill Laughridge, Richard Heinie, Paul Liebenburg, Ted Yost, C.T. Brian, Ned Christiansen and many others that support their families and work on the 1911 every single day refer to barrel mouth alterations as 'throating'................well then........it's good enough for me!
I suspect that anyone belaboring the use of this term is either just being contentious or is looking for recognition as an 'internet expert'.

Yes, you just have to know which throat you are talking about.

A friend of mine, upon seeing a gun heavily cut out for short nosed midrange semiwadcutters said: "That one is not just throated, it has had its tonsils out."

That's a good one Jim! A good one.

"Thoat: the transitional zone in the bore of a rifle or pistol between the chamber and the rifled portion."

This definition, conveniently in my copy of Speer's #14 glossary has been my understanding of the meaning and usage of the word throat as it pertains to firearms for at least 40 years.

For that same period the opening of the barrel at chamber end has been the mouth, or chamber mouth consistently, in every conversation or discussion I've ever been part of concerning these things for all of that time.........until now.

Now, to use these timeworn definitions would be to become contentious or hoping for some recognition as an 'internet expert' ?

Isn't that something? Through this year, my sixtyeth (sp?), I've begun to understand a little of how it could be that a seemingly well person of years could express a feeling of looking forward to their own end.
