    For my shooter, I got a Danish front sight that uses a roll pin and saved the original sight in case I ever sell the rifle.

    It absorbs the shock of the slide coming back and transferring to the rear sight. Just a little thing but I think it's a good idea. Also, keep an eye on the front sight those came loose. If it...

    I thought a 38 super or 9mm took a slimmer pin. Is your shooter a 45? Also is your pistol an original 1911 or 1911a1? All government manufactured 45s I've ever seen used the same firing pin.

    That would be a weak mainspring. Hammer comes back further in single action and not as far in double action. Although I would think you should get a lite strike on the primer.

    I would also clean around the extractor for powder residue. Maybe some black stuff is keeping the extractor from opening enough to let the rim of the cartridge to...

    One reason I think the 1917 is such a good shooter is the Metford Rifling. Five groves equal distance between lands and groves.

    This rifling was developed to make barrels last longer using...
