Boggus Deal

Pictures???

Oops. Hadn't even thought about that. If it turns out to be a problem, there are plenty of ways to put a 1911 on a diet. Lighter stocks, alloy or polymer mainspring housing, GI guide rod, etc.

Yes, those are legal.

Yes, sir.

SASS, in their infinite wisdom, has this website so outdated and antiquated it won’t let s lot of people post at all, much less pictures.

Yes, with mixed brass. I use a bulge buster in a single stage press on unknown brass before loading it and on all my brass about once a year.

From page 1 of the WBAS Shooters Handbook: “It is the intention and hope of SASS these requirements will serve to preserve and protect Wild BunchTM Action Shooting from the gimmickry and technical gamesmanship that have had such a negative effect on other shooting disciplines.“

Garrison Joe is spot on here.

Typically, both of those brands have the same issues. Both can be fixed by some one who knows them.

Our own Texas Jack Morales likely has one. Guntrader’s in Redmond ,OR. Tell ‘em Boggus sent you.

Thank you, Tully!

Thank you, Two Dot!!

There isn’t a new gun, out of the box, ready to run. They’re usually all way over sprung and sights suck. The Remington R1 isn’t bad, nor is the Tisas. The Auto Ordnance is close. A couple Colts are close as well.

Abe, problem with Colt GCs is that the serrations they put on is a very odd LPI. It’s hard to make right. Sometimes, the front strap is thick enough to cut the old serrations away and start over. But not every time.

Like so?

There are plenty of people who can make your 1911 run unless it’s pure junk. While mags can surely be a problem, ammo and shooter contribute to a large portion of 1911 failures. What gun do you have? You want to shoot Traditional or Modern?

Prefer 20” straight grip. Thanks in advance!

Internet “experts” not withstanding, a 230 gr bullet in the 1911 at around 725 FPS is faster to shoot than a 200 gr at 800. The time clock doesn’t lie or speak opinions. After testing several thousands of rounds, split times between shots are faster with the 230 than the 200. At at match where there may be several hundred rounds fired, those minute times add up. While I have considered testing the 250 grain bullet, finding them easily on a regular basis is not worth it.

Yes, there are.

Top notch!

Keep the small diameter guide rod and use a flat wire recoil spring. It uses the smaller diameter rod and lasts a lot longer. It’s also smoother.

HJ is close. I have a hammer of my design but more important, is a redesigned firing pin stop. PM me.

Does the guide rod move freely? Put your recoil spring back in an it can help center the guide rod. Otherwise, disassemble lower end and remove the S80 levers as they could be sticking. Make sure you’re not pulling the trigger as you try to remove the slide. If so, you could be pushing those levers up into the slide.

In my experience with other shooting sports, yes. No minor safety. No SDQ. You’re either okay or you’re done.

For cowboy it is. Not so much in Wild Bunch. When a cowboy stage has 24 shots, it’s not a big deal. When a WB stage has more pistol rounds than that plus rifle and shotgun, it’s as good as a match DQ.
