Is there any reason to put one of the rubber buffers in a 1911 these days?
I'm working on getting a can for mine, so that might be something to consider as well. |

OK, so the verdict seems to be NO on the rubber baby bangy bumpers.
But that does bring up another question. One of my 1911's is a compact model, and it's often a pain to rack it back far enough to make the slide stop drop away, so I can let the slide go forward. I've gotten to the habit of doing rack-and-thumb to make sure it goes, but that seems incorrect. To make it drop by itself, I have to pull the slide back far enough that the angled surfaces of slide and slide stop touch, pushing the stop down... Easy to do on the full-length, but a bear on the compact. (And unnecessary on my HK's, because there's a little spring in there) What do y'all know about that? |
