RIA 1911 tactical II Fs 10mm

[Byte Stryke]

This is what holds me back from buying a 1911. Everytime I think I want one, I see another thread about issues with 1911's....

Hope yours gets working like you want it!

not to sound like a fanboi, but lumping ALL 1911s together is a bit unfair since they come in varying calibers, manufacturers and even quality levels.
Its like lumping all AK's or ARs together.



hell, I can get a Coonan in .357 Magnum fer cryin out loud...

When you start getting into custom calibers on any platform you have to expect variances in equipment requirements, performance and settings.

Personally: I would not use the 26 pound recoil spring. Remember, the slide comes to a stop by running into the frame and is then pushed forward by the spring to be stopped by the barrel lugs and the slide stop/release. The spring can beat the gun up as much as the ammo can.

Go with a shock buffer and change it as often as needed based on wear and tear (500 to 1000 rounds)

It will help you to cock it with your thumb on an empty chamber before you rack the first bullet into the chamber.

The 26 pounder will beat up the slide stop and barrel lugs. I would go with a 22 or 23 and a shock buff.

 

[Early9973]

You think the 26 will be that hard on it

 

[1006]

Yep

 

[1006]

Try it and check the slide stop's pin for dents after a day at the range.

 

[Early9973]

Even with the shock buffers in it The dents will be from the slide slamming forward so hard is what you are trying to tell me Thanks for taking your time to help me with this
