Baer vs Brown vs Wilson

I bet the Glockophiles just love reading posts like this........

"Look at those 1911 jokers arguing with each other about the price of their toys! What a bunch of snobs!"

All said in the spirit of jocularity of course!

They are all newbies who can't shoot, and so can be safely ignored. Glocks are autoloader training wheels.

Hey! Leave this person alone, Gang! He writes great Colonel Stories! I love his posts and he proves my points better than I can! Please don't pick on this poor man as he has a good point. I have said many times to watch out for the guy shooting an old GI 1911 that spent $1000.00 on primers last year. He will Kick Your Butt! I want him to finish the Colonel Story someday an include all of this things this Dude has done in his life! Pay attention BB, so you don't miss anything! We want you to tell it like it is! ( I use the Imperial WE just like my other Colonel pal at Gunsite!)

I can't afford a Wilson, Brown, Baer,Tussey,etc. Guess I'll have to stick to my Kimber, SIG, CZ,etc. They might not cost as much but they are all shooters and excede my ability to shoot them. Shoot well and often.

Don't get me wrong, Dave; I wasn't endorsing the use of ill-fitting, badly finished Chip McCormick pickups on Fender Stratocasters or Gibson Les Pauls to make them look "kustom" or anything.

RE: overtravel screws

As with the young and nubile, 'tis better to take off than put on!

ElT,

Well, if it makes you feel more tactical.

They're fine when people treat 'em as "overtravel stops" and leave them fixed in place; it's when people treat them as "adjustable overtravel screws" and break them loose to fiddle with them that trouble occurs...

No "fiddling" required for me. However, I can break an anvil with a feather! (Of course, I run on my hands).

Buy gun, beat with 23 oz. framing hammer until stuff falls off. Throw stuff over berm and then shoot gun.

BTW, I'm wearing a tie and a starched white shirt. How tactical can I be?

I got lost along the way which is easy for me to do now. Overtravel Stops? I like them after I lock-tite them in with Red. I also like the prep or take up tabs on the CMC Triggers. It does take a few little tweaks to get them in right, but the results are worth it. We used to have to cut our own tabs in the trigger stirrup with a Dremel and hope the flap didn't break when adjusting it. Chip's is mucho better.

Unfortunately, every frame I've tried a CMC trigger in recently (Colt, Kimber, and Springfield) gave such a good "drop-in" type fit that you could've dropped the trigger in from across the room.

I really wish we'd had better results, because the easily adjustable takeup idea is sweet. Stickin' to STI's for now, but I'm sure something better is lurking out there...
