Stick your left thumb on the underside of the front part of the slide stop. When you rest it on the front side, it makes it want to go up in the rear. It works as a see saw. I did the same thing.
I would also remove the magazine safety. It did my Bersa magazines wonders.
But your point is valid, why hop to another platform before you really know it.
I say:
Keep your 1911, you’ll regret getting rid of it IMHO.
Save up for A. Reloading gear and B. a HiPower.
I like my 1911 and Bersa magazine and don’t think I’d want to part with either.

Georgia: Bill filed to protect gun rights during an emergency State Sen. Preston Smith (R Rome) filed Senate Bill 342 today to protect legally carrying citizens’ gun rights during a state of emergency. Currently, state law grants extraordinary powers to a Georgia governor to suspend or limit the sale, dispensing or transportation of firearms during an emergency. Sen. Smith’s bill would repeal that existing statute to remove a governor’s power to limit gun rights during an emergency.

University of Arizona students protest gun resolution The Associated Students of the University of Arizona decided to host a public forum to discuss a resolution for UA to oppose guns on campus after students protested during Wednesday’s meeting. “I honestly, in my heart, feel it is important for the people on this campus to be able to protect themselves,” said Coty McKenzie, a political science junior. “All gun free zones do is allow people who illegally bring guns on campus to harm more people.”
At first I was hesitant about the smaller Trijicon but now that I’ve tried it out - I completely get it. This scope is SO much easier and I can see myself being ‘faster’ with this ACOG than I could be with any other. Beyond that Trijicon, I’m sure the BDC feature will prove itself useful and entertaining when time permits.

Sig Sauer 239 magazines
Sig Sauer 239 magazines was cleaned and lubed before heading out. I soaked the extractor in CLP at the range and cleaned it there. That didn’t make any difference in the frequency of FTEx.
This is a real disappointment for me. I really, really like the way the Sig Sauer 239 magazine feels and points. The trigger was fine and for the 6 times the pistol actually functioned as a auto-loader follow-up shots seemed to be fast. I was hoping that this was going to be my new carry pistol, but that isn’t going to happen until it’s fixed.
No more fobus for me. This is the second time I’ve had problems with their design. I was using the recalled roto holster with the hard plastic strap on my Glock cowboy holsters with M3 light on a warrant service. Had the guy on the ground and started to Blackhawk Holster. At the last minute I noticed that hard plastic thumb break had slipped into the trigger guard. I almost shot a hole in my leg. Got the replacement holster and it has worked fine.
Today I picked up a new fobus revolution Handgun Holsters for my Kimber. I get it home and try it out. The Kimber slid in with a loud click and it was in there for good. I couldn’t get it back out. The instructions say you have pull it straight up with force. Well that’s no good for anyone in a dangerous situation where a quiet and slow draw may be necessary. The Fobus guys just don’t think things through. Oh and I couldn’t get the Kimber out till I loosened the tension screw so much till the gun Holsters just slid out without any resistance. Back to the gun shop it goes.
Ah, whatever. I’m just annoyed that I had to spend ammo money on another holster. I’ll get over it…
rtunately had problems with ripping the rivets out of the plastic. Also have one of the recalled Handgun Holster and contacted Fobus holster about a replacement, but never received a replacement holster.

AR-15 Magazines
I’ve checked with distributors and at your web site and the only versions I see of your SS AR mags are with CS springs. Is there an option to order them with SS springs?? I know you guys are slammed right now and don’t expect an immediate response but I’d sure like to add to my AR-15 Magazines "collection" if I can get "maintenance free" mags (SS bodies and SS springs). Thanks for providing the products and services that you do.

You might think of the standard/short buttstock as an "entry" style stock, while the "NATO" stock is more like that of an ak-47 (still short, but not so much so).

I remember the thread unvieling the Rifle Scopes. most of Arfcom supported the man in his endeavor. I remember SMGLee supporting him enthusiastically which carries some weight apparently. Back when SMG was trumpeting EOtech and the masses lined up to fellate L3 there were a few who said "I dont like EOTech" while flamed roundly time vindicates us all. Similar story with this scope. Many of us wanted to like it but i remember a lot of people saying "please dont have it made in china"
The truth is, it is horrendously overpriced considering its the nicest NCStar you ever saw. I would have liked to have seen him license his awesome reticle to a reputable company instead of going with the Rifle Scope.

his, some folks like a bright follower, me I hate anything bright, I don’t even like stainless AR-15 magazines (to shiny).
Any chance Larry might give us a hint on how far backordered the SS ar-15 are, I’m still waiting on my order from 6 Nov. (I Know things are busy, the the e-mail said 2 weeks, and that was 4 weeks ago)
The stainless steel magazines are backlogged about 4 weeks. Again, we set aside each day internet orders and distributor/OEM. Each department is alloted a certain amount.

Walther p99 magazines
Recommended on another site was heavy lube and working the action dry cycle…I kid you not…Walther p99 magazine times: I did it to mine…quite a little workout…wear a glove.
There’s alot of debate whether you should run only ball ammo in them.
Again, from elsewhere; important ammo considerations.
1. OAL of the round.
2. Shape of the round…HP must be as close to ball in shape as possible.
3. Feed ramp angle and polish; though this is only infrequently a problem.
Remington 95 gr FMJ seemed to meet approval, Winchester equivelent would most likely be fine; all else, especially anything not ball, simply must be tried out.
Though a good break-in is recommended before you start experimenting with the HP ammo.
Consumers should stop using the revolver holsters immediately and bring them to a Fobus USA distributor for a free replacement holster or contact First Samco for instructions on how to return product for a replacement. Consumers can also send the recalled holster to Fobus USA in Southampton, and will be reimbursed for return shipping.
For more information consumers can call 866-508-3997 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Had Fox news on while I was doing something else in the house, but I glanced up and saw one of those rolling headlines at the bottom of the screen. If I’m not mistaken, it said something to the effect that a certain model of Fobus holsters is being recalled because of eight incidents where a strap or something pulls the trigger when the weapon is drawn. Yikes; I’ve got two Fobus Roto-Bianchi Shoulder holsters (1911 and Glock Magazine 19). Mine don’t have straps, though. Made me wonder. Anyone else heard anything
‘ve rarely seen anything other than the standard black and brown but this seems like it would be a great line for Cav Arms or Bladetech to introduce. Maybe something like the Orange stocks marketed by Speedfeed for Dedicated Less Lethal Shotguns.
I have a question about the 6xxx series tactical revolver holsters. How tight is the Bianchi Shoulder holsters if you are shooting when you are kneeling? I am kinda on the big side and the last time I had a tactical revolver holsters it cut off circulation on my right leg. Granted it was an airsoft revolver holsters but I just don’t want to purchase the holster and then find out it isn’t going to work out. I know I know I should lose weight but will that matter?
Just picked up a Fist #5 pocket holster for my P3AT, it came tighter than a tic. After a few afternoons & evenings infront of the tube working the unloaded pistol in & out it is now perfect. safariland tactical holster this is w /o a doubt the finest pocket holster I have tried.
I just looked on their website. The nearest I could find is the "concealable belt holster" but I could swear the packaging at the time said COP on it. May be wrong, it’s been nearly four years.
Either way, the holster was crap. Switched to a 20 year old Galco made of thicker, tougher Leather Holster and that held up. Galco uses too much oil.
After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "safariland tactical holsters Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my pants. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an MTAC. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.
One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon design is subpar, Tactical holster.

Eotech
Quote direct from the EOTech website’s product description of the 517:
"Additionally, a portion of the front base has been raised to allow the sight to fit over standard hand guards found on many M-4 or M-16 style weapons"
From the looks of it, it might not slide all the way up to your forward-most slot, but the fact that the buttons are on the side of the unit will allow you to butt the magnifier mount right up to the back of the sight, which may create enough room. If all else fails, I’d buy everything from a vendor with a good return policy so you’re not stuck with something if it doesn’t work.
Like JohnStoner, I have two M9A1s with beretta mini-cougar magazines. Accuracy, reliability, and totally dependable in all weather- snow, rain, dry, heat and dust- whatever, NEVER a problem. About 4,500 rounds fired between the two of them. I’ve retired my Kimber 1911s, in favor of my Berettas. The Kimbers are strictly for loan WHEN TSHTF… The M9A1 is my "go to" handgun, and unlikely to change.
Yeah, you want two. One for each hand. That gives you forty-two shots before reloading, and two different direcions to shoot… Easy with a 9mm, but try it sometime with a pair of 9.5" Ruger Super Redhawks! I have, but I’ll stick with the M9A1’s, thanks… In all seriousness, the 9mm with the proper ammo, AND proper placement, is just as well going to take-out the trash, as my dusty Kimber Beretta 92 Magazine. I won’t change back- no reason to.
Nope, the M9A1 is the choice of the Marine Embassy Security Details, and my choice as well… So too, are the Mec-Gar 20rd Anti-Friction Coated magazines, and the Pro-Mag 33rd Beretta 21Magazines, though I load only 32 in mine… Both magazines fit both of my CX4 Storms perfectly…
rparrish, I use Gold Dots, both 124gr and 147gr, and know that whatever I hit, is going to go d-o-w-n… Having 21 rounds in either gun, makes for a warm feeling… I can’t really imagine a "real life" scenario for using 32rd magazines, but WHEN the SHTF, who knows? Having interchangable magazines with the CX4s, is a "good" thing…
To those who would try to compare the 1911 to the M9A1, I’d say, "beretta mini-cougar magazines, to yah, Buddy!" and "Why have only 11, with a Chip McCormick mag, when you can have 21?" Nah, that’d be petty. As I say, mine, my Kimber 1911s are now for loan-out when the SHTF… My best, I’m keeping for myself…

AR-15 Accessories and Parts
f you are on a budget, buy a stripped lower receiver from an AR-15 Accessories FFL near you (if you pay less than $200 OTD you are probably doing OK these days). Then order a complete kit of your choice from Model 1 Sales, J&T etc. for around $5-600. You can assemble the rifle yourself with simple hand tools (screwdriver, hammer and a few punches) in an hour or so. Don’t believe the Colt/Bushmaster/Armalite snobs… the rifle you build will be just as functional as any other. I built my 3-gun rifle this way, and it is still flawlessly reliable and AR15 tack-driving accurate after 8 years of rough match use !
