    The technicians at Colt are really good at what they do!

    Shot from an arm rest means it was bench rested when test fired. 6 o'clock hold means the front sight was underneath the very bottom of the bullseye. Think "apple on a stick" Matt LaBonte is a very capable shooter. Glad your pistola got sorted out.

    New-to-me Sig P220 Carry has an issue.

    This is most likely the issue. The slide stop spring attached to the locking insert probably needs a tension adjustment or is bent. Also debur the slide stop and the notch for it on the slide.

    Arbor press vs. hammer

    Arbor presses are used quite often when you have the ability to set them up properly. I use one with a brass tip to install 1911 sights all the time and have used them in the past for pins and such. The difficult part is making the jigging to hold some of the work. The amateur gunsmith...

    CeraKote on a Colt 1911?

    It isn't really necessary to polish the feed ramp on a properly Cerakoted gun. Valkman, if the applicator is only charging 80 dollars for the job, expect 80 dollars worth of work. 80 bucks to properly strip, sandblast, degrease, spray without debris, cure and reassemble makes me think "where...

    Advice needed on Hack Gunsmith muzzle brake job

    Did you pay for them to refinish the barrel after the work? If your work order states "attach customer supplied muzzle brake" that's what they did.

    1911 feed problem

    Maybe the slides surface on the disco track and the transition from the track to the breech face should be looked at.

    1911 feed problem

    Logman, would you suspect slow slide speed as being the cause of the case getting in front of the extractor?

    1911 feed problem

    Great. That explains only one of the listed problems with photos that are being discussed here. Tight extractors, insufficient extractor hook to breech clearance and a poor extractor profile coupled with tight chambers and a very rough slide finish are the cause of the rest of the issues Sig...
