It was indeed a broken slide stop. Snapped clean off smooth.
I could either order a good one online and wait a week or three, or I could go drive 5 minutes to Cascade and pick one up for $20 and get my CCW weapon up and running.......  New one replaced in 5 minutes. All function checks are A-OK! I guess I am finally starting to put enough rounds through her if she is starting to break parts. I really love her, more than any other carry weapon I have ever had, and shoot her better than any other as well. I am starting to think its time to send her off to a good smith and get her all done up with good new guts.   |

 Id get it back with a telestock and a bipod and a rail. Might be fun as hell to shoot but worthless as a carry piece.

I need to get something like that. I've got a compact Llama that I got in trade ( hi, migradog!) but about every 3rd round ejects square into my forehead. But the size is just perfect for CCW.

I own (but do not possess) the .40 & the 9. I like them both, but it tends to keep me away from the warmer climates. I am afraid of a plastic gun melting when the heat is on, but I know my JMB 1911 is a time proven workhorse.  |

Have you tried swapping out the ejector? CavVets .45 is a darn nice shooter, I would just have the springs looked at and carry on. |

The XD's are great pistols, I love them. There is just something about a nice 1911 though. I have wanted to get a "full house" custom for a long long time! I finally took the plunge last week and ordered a Colt Commander from these guys, YoBo. Now for the wait.

Okay, I'll be a fish. How can you own but not possess something? Especially two somethings? Unless of course your talking about womens.  I can honestly say there is no danger of them melting in the sun. After carrying one around in the Arizona and New Mexico furnace this past July I can atest that they do not melt. Burn the shit out of your hand when open carried yes, but melt no. 105 in the shade is a reason not to live somewhere. Screw that whole, "but its a dry heat" thing. |

Dude, the 1911 is the perfect pistol, the XD45ACP just comes closest to lurking in it's shadow. |

Justin, you can file the shape of the ejector a bit at a time til it spits shells where ya like. Or, get a new one. But, you'll probably have to tune the new one, too. Please deposit 2 cents. Thank you.

Hi Jason, I have no doubt that it will be worth the wait. There are a lot of 1911 shops around and you got the order. I still can't wait. I take it you'll be at SHOT then? If so I'll be sure to try and introduce myself.

I got a chance to handle Rob Leathams 5" 45XD over the weekend in Phoenix. Rob claimed that the trigger was completely stock....felt really good. Grip angle is the same as a 1911 and even with 45ACP, the grip didn't feel fat at all. Rob said that Springfield now has orders on the books for 6 months of production backlog. If you want one...better pick it up now. |

Typically compacts use an extended ejector to insure that the case get OUT of the ejection port. You might want to take a look at you extractor tension. If the tension is loose, the case isn't firmly held so the ejector can't launch it out at the right angle. |

The only reason I still have that damn Gluck is because it has a really cool serial number it was my first and last gluck (sold the other dozen in the middle off) and I know I will never recoup the during ban prices of a couple hi cap mags I bought and will also lose cash on the lasermax. Besides I can actually hit the back wall of the pit with my 1911, I cant hit shit with that gluck. One day someone will want it more than I do and I wont have it either. Maybe they will bring a 1911 to the table and poof! |
