Good morning,
I have a StarBM that I purchased about 5 months ago. I Love how it feels and shoots. The only issue are the magazines. They sometimes have a round nosedive causing a failure to load. It shoots and feels great, though. Liking it so much, I wondered if I could find a comparable all steel firearm that is still produced. Lo and behold, ATI makes a 1911 in 9mm.
For the price, it can't be beat. I took it to the range today and fired 75 rounds from Browning (124 gr bullets), magtech (115gr bullets), and reloaded 124 grain bullets. No jams whatsoever. And I especially love the way it feels. It came with a 10 round magazine, so another magazine will be on order.
Below is the initial shot group:
I can adjust the rear sight to get the alignment correct, but the front sight looks staked. Looking at how's low it shoots, I'm thinking it needs a shorter front sight?
I've done sight replacements, but they all have been on push sights (s&w, RIA, Ruger). Is it possible to replace the front sight? How difficult us the process?
TIA
