  1. more likely that I can get 8 rnds into the mag

     

    The extension will stick past the barrel unless you run one of those breacher-chokes. The real problem with mag extensions is that the shells/follower/spring can get hung up on the lip where the extension transitions to the magazine. This is fairly unlikely, especially since a +1 extension only has the spring that far back. If you want to know all about mag extensions go ask the 870 guys. They're experts!

     

    I'm no attorney but I don't think that a mag extension on a Ti tube will run afoul of 922®. This is because compliance requires one to get rid of imported parts, not necessarily replace them.

  2. There is a growing trend - "what is good for racing is good for the street". This is not true. I have seen many 1911s ruined with these so-called upgrades.

     

    It is not within the scope of this post, or my knowledge, to say what each part is good for on every gun. But please remember that there are games and there is everything else. And one setup may not be optimal for both.

     

    Infamous trigger jobs are the usual culprits. Lightweight parts, lightweight springs and gas system mods can be unreliable as these parts have to work in sync.

  3. unless you have some kind of evidence to the contrary

     

    The tube I have from Dave is crooked. Or something. We've discussed this before. The tube binds the barrel nut making disassembly a real pain. Otherwise works OK. I'll stick with Kips Ti tube.

     

    And don't even get me started on a 930 smiley-sick017.gif

  4. Since I no longer have a Ti handle from Kip I was forced to go with the GGG 'spinner' handle. It seems that everyone universally hates the spinning handles.

     

    I kinda like mine. It rolls out of the hand upon release. The checkering chews into the hand on the regular (non-rotating) ones.

     

    And I'll take it one step further. The M4 bolt can and will jam (stop) if the bolt is babied forward. The bolt needs to move forward with some force, i.e. pull back and let go. The spinning handles allows this much more then the fixed handle.

  5. Sorry you're having trouble. I don't think you can do anything to tighten the handle up. A ball detent goes into the groove on the shank and keeps it in place.

     

    Gee whiz. We've got one supplier making substandard parts, and another who isn't making anything :(

  6. Wow. Great question. I am not familiar with the hybrid action of the M3. Hopefully someone will come along who is.

     

    The bolt release MUST be pushed in before installing the trigger assembly. I know folks have had this problem before with the M3, and we just had a guy do it with an M4 not too long ago.
