I’m not sure how you can get 1/2” of clearance from the hammer touching the grip safety. Without completely doing away with the hammer. Yes, Garrison, I have a screen shot of your post before you go edit it again. 
To the OP, having actually built several championship winning 1911s, I can help with your issue.

  Still would like to get her slicked up and have the barrel cut down to 20" as the serial numbers are different there is 0 collector value. 

I know a guy.

These are stock Uberti take out parts. 

These are all slightly used but in great shape.

Somehow it got my reflection in there.

This was a magazine ad when the movie came out. It’s very heavy and measures 16”x24”. I can ship it but it would not be cheap to ship. $100 plus shipping 

Screw in choke, Limbsaver pad, big bead. Barrel cut to 18 1/4”. D series made in 1905. Has been parkerized. It does hold 6. Has Wild Bodie Tom spring and follower.
$750 shipped to your FFL.

I will say that nearly all WB shooters hope this rule changes. One of the great things about WB is that the guns can be shot in any order. The 60 PF breaks this as the shot timer no longer reliably picks up these low power rifle shots. Shooting a 38/357 and making a higher PF should not be an issue. 

I expect this to be a heavily debated item at the EoT TG meeting. You might wait at least until after that meeting.

 

 

Actually, it is Artemus. Lots of testing has been done in the past on .38/.357 rifles to make power factor. The toggle link rifles don’t hold up to the pressure. Reach out to Evil Roy. He spent a lot of time and money on it. 

Stainless or blued standard thickness or thin grips. All available in slotted head some in hex. 
$15 a set shipped

The pins, plungers and springs that are easily lost or damaged. Available in blue and stainless. $20 each shipped 

I would try to reach around 725-730 FPS just to be safe at all altitudes.

Also, now that the rules have been bastardized, doubles, 1887s and single shots are legal.

Thank you, sir! I’ll pass along the congratulations!

So possibly "the ski is falling" over .38's is mute, as Lady Jane just demonstrated.  Do you know what the top four shooters were using, as LJ finished 5th OA with a .45 colt?  I never thought the use of a .38 rifle would really change how a top grade 1911 shooter finished.  A huge congrats to Lady Jane.

Holy Terror used a .38 I know, the others I’m not sure about but the rifle didn’t make a difference. 

I do know the top Traditional shooter, male or female, Lady Jane, won Lady Traditional using a .45 Colt rifle and did not feel the least hindered by it. Went head to head with Holy Terror in the Top Gun shoot off and came close behind her using one hand.

My 1911 is a Series 70 Gold Cup with vertical grooves on the front strap.  I have two folks in my area who checker 1911 frames.  Neither were willing to cross hatch the frame due I suppose to the depth of the factory grooves.

And the Colt serrations are a very odd spacing. Like 19 1/2 lines to an inch. Not 20 or 25 or 30. I have cut the front strap out, welded in a new one and checkered that.

My guess it’s not the crimp die but the sizing die. Dillon sizing dies are very generous in the radius to enter the die. The Lee die sizes the base that the Dillon sizing die doesn’t.

The score sheet will show the total number of people who shot the match.

Not the number of shooters who dropped out or were added in as a result of the new "action plan".

They aren't even rules yet.

See my post above.

We continue to get both applications and refund requests on almost a daily basis. The refunds are processed according to our published refund policy, except Wild Bunch shooters are not being charged the $25 refund fee due to the changes since they registered. Most don't give a reason and we never ask. There are no meaningful numbers to share.

Slim, the meaningful numbers will be the fact that for the last several years Wild Bunch had a cap on number of participants with a waiting list and this year it likely won’t sell out. Like cowboy attendance dropped about 200 in 2023 compared to 2022.

Bet we never see the actual numbers.

Just look at the score sheet at the end. It shows the shooter numbers.

There will be a lot more cancel because it’s not the sport they want to shoot than there will be people who sign up to shoot because of the new rules. They’ve already been making excuses for not shooting. 

There is also a Model 12 Featherweight that is a takedown of a different type than the typical Model 12. It only holds 4 in the magazine. If I remember correctly, it was only made a few years around 1960.

Folks, concerning the "Condition 1" idea.

Every shooting sport, that utilizes Condition 1 to start, require the holster cover the entire trigger guard.

This is to keep the finger off the trigger when drawing your pistol

If we go Condition 1, everyone will have to get a new holster.

Just FYI

Not everyone as there are some holsters out there that do cover it.

I'm probably quitting since now i'll have to go buy a 38 rifle with a carbon fiber mag, short stroke kit and start loading mouse fart 38's which also will require me to purchase new brass, primers and dies just to stay competitive.

Don’t quit! Just come shoot with the redress of us.
