ramos...kent? any other 1911 owners/shooters, what hammer style do you have and how do you like it? My standard spur had to be cut and now it's 100% useless and quite unsafe so i need another style that will work with a beavertail safety. I'm debating

http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...&t=11082005

i have the commander style on my kimber (factory). are you using an extended beaver tail? if so, is it already notched for the commander hammer? if not, it will need to be. i seem to recall you saying something about installing a different beavertail. i'll see if i can't dig up a closeup, or i'll take one later. the only thing i want to add to teh kimber is an extended slide release, and maybe a bushing style compensator. either of you guys use one of those?

my kimber is starting to rust, the bastage. from sitting. i've oiled her up pretty good, but me thinks kimber will be getting a letter.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the beavertail has a groove cut in it, no idea if it's what you're talking about though. I had the crappy regular safety on it before but just had a bunch of work done to it. The guy did a pucking great job except for scratching the gun up a little when he put it in the vise (no big deal because i plan on polishing it to a mirror finish anyway). I had the beavertail installed, new extended safety (what you are thinking of is probably the extended slide release), had the whole thing tightened (very nice groups now for not having a nice barrel) had a full trigger job, brought the pull down to about 3.5lbs according to him, zero creep, also had the ejection port lowered flared and scalloped.

I've heard the bushing style compensators are useless, they can't have a tolerance that's close enough to be effective. The guy that did my gun was shooting a .38 super with the works done to it including a compensator, and while he was awesome with the gun, it didn't jump at all. With mine it jumps a lot but it's also predictable and easy to come back down to target quickly. I am seriously debating a .38 super after talkin to him though. That's all he shoots now.

I also must say, i have shot a lot, i consider myself to be above average with a pistol, and quite cocky when it comes to my abilities in general, but this is one guy i would never try to shoot against. He was shooting steel plates and just goofing off fired off 4-5 rounds scanning left to right, plates were farely large, about like a normal target would be, about 15yards out, but he fired quicker than i could have if i wasn't even aiming (honestly probably faster than my gun will even allow) hit every plate without hesitation. I plan on seeing a lot more of this guy and hope i can learn from him.

On the topic of pistol shooting, one of the fellows I know, retired military sniper, can hit a swinging steel plate at 80yds, with the plate diam smaller than a regular kitchen plate. That whole family is insane at shooting.

yeah, that notch is what i'm talking about. you should be good to go with that commander style hammer. did you see that link above? i'm thinking i'm wanting that hammer, sear combo.

and that, lol. even if it is useless, it looks cool. mine will be getting an extended slide release though. while the thumb safety is just fine, teh slide stop is a bit of a reach.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[vladd 26]

ryan2, that's more the style of shooting i'm used to. We've never been a rapid fire family, lol. One target, in the distance. one of my best shots was a pop can at about 90-100yards with my .22 (pistol of course). Took me two shots, one to see where the hell the bullet would be, the next put a hole right in the center of it. I should have kept the can.

yeah, it does. a penis that's shooting 230g .45 loads..hehe

and can go 7-8 times without stopping.

good luck on that...have fun and be safe later!

[vladd 26]

won't bother actually hitting reply..too much text.

this guy said he usually cuts off the gun a little when he does a compensator (yea trims like 1/2" off the slide/barrel) so it's back down to a manageable size. With how little this guy has charged me so far, i'm betting for not too much more than that comp he'd put a real one on.

i like watching top shooters choke on the swinging plates and the moving cardboard. though that heavy set dude for springfield did a killer job onthe cardboard the last time i watched the show.

i wish i could afford to really get into that.

which reminds me...his .38 super, double stack with a huge mag well held i think 28 or 32 rounds....and that was without sticking past the mag well (except some of the bumper)

before i had the work done to the GI i was shooting it at 100 yards, shots varied by about 4'-6' and damn do those bullets ricochet(bounce?) at that distance, watching them skip up the hill was kind of funny.

[vladd 26]

is kent invisible?

that's freaking insane. FNH has that 5.7x28 pistol. it holds 20 in the mag. freaking thing is $900, and a box of 20 rds is $25. $25 a freaking clip, lol. that's why one hasn't found it's way into my house.
