1911A1 45 Cal: How could I go about fixing the spring that holds the safety switch on

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 15:09:32 -0700

So hey y’all, I recently bought a kimber custom 2 full size 1911, after a few months of regular shooting the little spring housing on the top of the left side grip decided to just fall out, unfortunately I’m not sure the exact name of the part but it’s right between the slide lock and safety switch on the handgun. I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this or has the same issue.

Baikal Makarov IJ-70 Pistol: What kinds of ammunition can I use in this gun?

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 22:18:18 -0700

I can not find the 9MM 18 bullets for this gun but the instructions tell me it is also chambered for the .380 Auto. Can I use this ammunition safely in this gun or will it jam or have some other complication?

Planet Eclipse Etha: Why Can't I Properly Shoot Reballs at 220fps?

Fri, 07 Nov 2014 11:44:03 -0700

Is there a way to fix my gun so that shooting reballs at 220fps is more consistent and without any problems? Every time I shoot, a few come out just fine then about 5 roll out of the barrel.

This might be a problem with my inline regulator, but I'm not entirely sure. My supercharging SL3 inline regulator has a very high velocity first shot and a large variance in shot to shot consistency.
