After measuring and comparing to my book on 1911's, I went ahead and filed the front strap down 0.015" and now all the mags fit & function.
Problem solved. |

I use Wilson ETM 8-rounders on my Monolith, they run great. Have you tried Wilson ETM's? I wouldn't go hacking on the front strap, if it were my gun. If you can't work past the issue, send it back to Baer, he stands behind his guns.

My SRP requires a swift "smack" to seat Wilson ETM HD/+P because the front edge of the frame is a tad to long. |
