Just put a Stainless loaded on hold

[Bud White]

Put one on hold for my Birthday in 2 weeks stainless loaded has almost everything i want except a magwell and night sights Figured id do them my self.

Whats everyones opinions on the gun and do ya kknow the difference between it and the TRP i know TRP has mag well and nightsights but anyother differences??

Also what Maker for a mag well Wilson/ed Brown or the springfield one ...


Thx Rob :)

[ronkesser]

Every springfield I have ever shot was like butter

im pretty sure the your right on the TRP

on your mag well are you going mainspring housing as well? if so i would go with ed brown beacuse if you want you can remove the magwell. if not, wilson all the way.

The only other diff. is the TRP has a one piece barrel.

I've had a few TRP's apart, and the sad thing is they have the same small parts as the Loaded, but you pay 500+ more for them. The Loaded is the best value for features and cost.

Mag wells...........S&A makes a good one, but the Wilson & Brown work just as well. The only problem with the S&A wells, is that the housing pin hole doesn't always line up with the frame hole.

You made mention about night sights.........I thought all Loadeds had night sights? Maybe its an older one..............?

[Bud White]

On the sights even springfield web sights list only as low mount novaks no night's.. One piece barrel i take it to mean the feed ramp is part of the barrel ? or is there something else

[wichaka]

The Loadeds, Mil-Specs, and G.I. models have actual two piece barrels.

At the forward part of the roll mark on the chamber you can see a slight line going around it where the two pieces are joined up. Colt used to make them during the war. They are not a bad barrel, mine shoots fantastic, I guess just a bit cheaper way to make them.

The low mount Novaks should be nights...........every one I've seen so far has them.

Thanks for info suppose if i dont like the barrel i can get another barrel But i cant see it making a real difference Ive been out of 1911's so long and its changed so much im sure ill have more questions once i pick it up.

Well these novaks low mounts wernt i checked um out when i put on hold


Also might as well ask which mags are the best?

[wichaka]

Which mags are best? That's opening up a whole can of worms there.

I personally use Wilson 47D 8 rounders, and I use them on duty. I also installed Wilson followers & springs in all my SA mags to make them 8 rounders. They work real well.........

I've also tried CMC Power mags, they seem to work well too. From my own experience these are the only ones I can endorse.

Whatever you decide, put alot of rounds thru them before using for duty/personal defense........to ensure they will work when the scat contacts the bladed oscillator!

You're going to get a whole lot of ideas on this one. So brace yourself.......
