Brenn, Your 1911 looks good and I hope it works great for you. I have made several from scratch and have used them for many years, several state matches too....
Great... Good Luck with it. Like Mike said about his, mine has been to the nats and several state matches. Best of all, I was using it when I finally achieved...

How about silver soldering? I solder a lot of electronics (guitars and amps and such) and I use silver solder sometimes. I've read that it holds better than...
I looked back at a little of this thread and, as I understand it, it looks like this was a grand jury decision not to indict. That means there was no judge ...
... At one time there was something of a fad for silver soldering sights on. Better staking technique and the cross-dovetail have largely displaced it. But...

It seems to me that 9mm should be the most competitive caliber in ESP division, since it is the lightest recoiling caliber. I am currently using a 10mm Colt ...
... STI Trojan 9mm has a good rep as an ESP gun. Dan Wesson makes one. I think Kimber does, or has. I have a Colt 1991A1 9mm, an uncataloged variation, said to...
Brenn, I have several GS books that refer to silver solder as one method, silver solder and then peen as another, but I have not seen one stay on very long. I...
Brenn, Don't cut yourself short, 10mm is good for ESP. If you want to change to lighter caliber, buy a 40 S&W barrel for your Delta, it is cheaper than a new...
I used to think that there was very little difference between downloaded 40 and 9mm A friend and I gave a competition pistol class and I tried his G35 (40S&W)...
I'll bet he DIDN'T mean to shoot the guy------he pointed a weapon at a person and pulled the trigger----I've got a 2lb trigger on my SVI----wonder if that...
... Brenn - The idea of replacing the barrel is a good one. .40 S&W brass is dirt cheap, and you *might* be able to use the same mags you have. That'll give...

I do like the .40 S&W. After years of saying it's just a sissy 10mm for FBI agents with limp wrists (I believe that was my exact description) I bought a Glock...

Brenn, I've played with this one quite a bit. The Hi Power can be a good choice... IF.. you can learn to adjust to the longer trigger reset. I have 3 of them...
