In for one <50

It's not the material that bothers me but the sideways slop and overtravel after the very firm crisp wall. Overtravel's doable on a mushy wall-less trigger but on a crisp wall on the heavy side... no bueno.

Remoras and sticky holsters are an option. I have some but never really liked them. The downside is there's no positive reference point for the location or position.

What you want is probably more of a belly-band. I doubt the elastic waistband by itself is going to be able to securely hold a gun.

I use the Crimson Trace sight, and have found that different loads hit the target in different places.  If I set the sight using 115 grain ammo, they hit dead center in the red dot at 10 yards.  If I switch to 147 grain ammo without adjusting the red dot, it always shoots low.  P vs +P also makes a difference.

Sounds normal to me. different loads have different POI on most guns. If you ever want a good watch, look up vids of barrel whip in rifles in slo-mo. the physics are the same in pistols but with different values in the variables.

Actually a pretty well written article with some real solutions. a nice change from "firearm X doesn't run 110% on anything under the sun in all my imaginary scenarios, regardless of plausibility therefore is junk and the mfr is incompetent". I like the reasoning and conclusions and will probably try some on mine (tweaking the feed lips for example). I would add to the bit about mag springs that the shorter and higher capacity the mag, the harder it is to gen the springs to a happy place because you have such a difference in full and empty (vs uncompressed) length. could put a page on that but I'll leave it alone for now.

Matt: you can't "not fully cock the hammer" because the hammer cocks before the slide picks up the fresh round. also, either it catches on the sear or it doesn't. Your gun either has something affecting the operation of the hammer (dirty firing pin channel as you noticed) or just has too light of a hammer spring for the primers you use (whether by design, wear, or variation due to poor QC).

I am officially sold out, and wanted to give the community a big

Thank You!

I hope we helped to drive up the interest in the pistol and this forum. The next item will be metal triggers coming Q4 this year or early Q1 next.

REALLY looking forward to that upgrade. if you want a beta tester, let me know, I'm just an hour or 2 down the road and can be a major trigger snob if you ask

Negative, steel and aluminum, looks like.

They sure made it look like it was polymer. How good a pistol is it? I have never heard of one.

It's a black epoxy like many CZs (and others). very thick paint. I don't care for it much either. It's yet another CZ75 clone.

At xmas, my mom asked if we'd ever come back to live closer in IL again. Luckily there are plenty of reasons and didn't have to break it to her that her little boy actually has those loud horrible things in the house, not to mention how many qualify as evil assault weapons.

The seemingly small increase in diameter of the barrel nut more than makes up for the direction of the knurles. it's easier to hold on to the nut than the original barrel.

Not knocking Remington, ( PARA on the other hand........well), but I have had  a Ruger SR1911 for years and have had no problems. The fit and finish is superb in my opinion. Then again, it isn't in 9mm either.

SR1911 isn't the same as a base 1911 R1. mine was the cheapest model (on sale plus rebate which made trading it +cash for the para a nice deal.

My Para's from back before they started overproducing and lost quality and well before Remington bought and gutted them.

Georgia, apparently. If you haven't be, it's definitely another planet...

That friend lives in Florida, not Georgia.

Georgia's just "the south". Florida's a whole different planet. spring break, grandma, and batsh** crazy. news story about neighbor getting naked and howling an the roof then running around town trying to eat people? just another day in Florida.

And there do seem to be more recalls from US makers. Smith's no exception from what I've read. Lots of revolvers making a trip back to the factory for stuff that shouldn't have passed QC. Fine otherwise and afterward but it's like nobody's even glancing at them after they roll off the line.

I wonder who their source is. Remington??

They source parts wherever they can. For all we know, they buy the stripped parts from the guns that are replaced under warranty or trade ins to gun shops. They'll even buy used guns from us, the end users.

Don't get the regular R1 commander. My first time picking it up then picking up something better the lack of quality and fitment was obvious. Traded it on a used Para double stack not even a week later. From what I've heard, the enhanced models are quite a bit better so good luck.

That's marketing though, the basic ones exist to sell the better ones. still stupid that I can get any number of guns for half the price put together better than something with a reputation that's been around for 100 years.

That's the old Model 51. not helpful

locktite RED? hope you don't want to change the grips ever.

Don't own one but had a 9 and have shot a 45. get the XD mod2. much better grip than the XDM.
