Does anyone know a manufacturer of aluminum mainspring housings for an Officers model/compact frame 1911? I looked on the Brownells website and could only find them for full size frames.

Does anyone know how a flash hider actually eliminates muzzle flash? With cheap ammo I have an 18" muzzle flash escaping from my plain barrel while my buddy's pre-ban rifle with Phantom flash hider has zero flash in the same barrel length. How does this 2" extention eliminate 18" of flash?

Just received my completed FAL and the military manual I have does not detail the zeroing process for the sights as the rifle is supposed to be issued zeroed. Seems like a strange ommision considering the detail provided on other procedures. Does the FAL have a battle zero sight-in process...

Having small hands can make the Glock line of pistols tough to handle with a proper grip. The trigger reach for me is just too long - requiring a shift of grip which moves the pistol out the bone lines of the arm. Being a 1911 fan I also think the Glocks point high. This being said I like the...

I'm interested in a single stack 1911 in 9mm for the IDPA ESP division and would like to get some suggestions and comments from the members. I have small hands so it has to be a single stack. It seems that there are plenty of $1500 custom pistols available, but I was hoping to find something...

I saw an ad for a new pistol with 1911 style controls called the Vortek made by Craig Ltd. I have not been able to find much information on this pistol and have since lost the ad. Does anyone have information on this pistol or contact information for Craig Ltd?

How many rounds should one fire through a new 1911 style pistol to allow for a break-in period? (Please no 1911 bashing.) I recently purchased a new Kimber Classic Stainless and it is failing to feed about 1/100 rounds with factory ball ammo and Wilson mags. The case is catching partially...

I have thin hands and sometimes fail to activate the grip safety when firing strong hand only. I currently have a stock Kimber 1911 with the Chip McCormick "DeActivator" grip safety. What is the thickest grip safety available? Suggestions? Comments?
