say something about ... yourself!

16 1/2
Springfield has gay full length guide rods so I changed it out with a GI plug. Kept the old spring in there and it was a jamomatic.
Talked to a dude and he said I needed a new spring. When I got the new (wolfe) spring it was a 1/2" longer. No jams since.

Im not gonna clean it again. See how well this thing does when real dirty. 1911's are supposed to only run clean. ya right!
the TRP owns!

I left my FL guide rod in. Once I sorted out how to disassemble things without nearly losing an eye, I'm ok with it. What's this GI Plug?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

little black dude, and the guy under the barrel

 

[Captain Beard]

Ahhh tinyrod. Why are they better? Would the spring kink without a rod in the way?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

eh, not better.
less weight
mine was an allen wrench style that split in the middle. so it would come loose.
I wanted to be able to field strip it without a tool.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yeah I have the wee wrench in the case with the gun due to that. As for weight, I love how heavy it feels... never cared for the polymer guns that act like they want to go into orbit every time you fire them. (And yes, I'm holding them right, with my giant hands.)

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

heh
Beardy, check this. Turn your speakers off.

 

[Captain Beard]

Jesus. Good thing mine came with most of the upgrades standard. (Black pearlized grips coming soon)

 

[Captain Beard]

And now to be an asshole.

NoLordyCapone (9:36:30 PM): Dude, I just want to lick this gun, it's so tasty.
alfrinn (9:36:43 PM): Do it.
alfrinn (9:36:43 PM): Take photos
alfrinn (9:36:56 PM): Just kidding
NoLordyCapone (9:37:02 PM): TOO LATE

[Captain Beard]

Yours have an internal or external extractor? I didn't know if I liked mine being external at first, bit after thought, I'm ok with it.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

internal
what model did you get?

 

[Captain Beard]

Basic Smith & Wesson SW1911, SKU 108282

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

cool
now go shoot it

 

[Captain Beard]

Tomorrow, sir. First, I stop by a jeweler I know and have him see if my feed ramp needs to be mirror polished, or if it's slick enough. (It IS pretty damned shiny.)

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

wouldnt think it NEEDS to be polished. But I guess it couldnt hurt.
im not sure about SW 1911's, it might have to be broken in.
Mine has been flawless except for when I had the wrong spring in there.

 

[Captain Beard]

From what the man who has sold 12 or 13 of these said, break in is 200 rounds, but I should *not* expect any problems, period. My M&P just hit 250 and hasn't even *CONSIDERED* having a feed or extraction problem.

 

[Malergion]

I almost didn't type that I was kidding. Oh well. It was funny either way.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Nice! yeah, 200 rds sounds about right.
Im trying to sell my glock to a friend so I can buy an MP9
Im putting a new trigger in it, and giving him 4 mags and a holster for $550
faggot better take it.

 

[Captain Beard]

By MP9, you mean the machine pistol? Godspeed getting a Federal Permit for that, man.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

oh, hahaha
no, the SW M&P 9
