1911 help...

When the thumb safety is engaged, the cylinder that contains the slid stop detent and thumb safety detent, partially comes off the frame enough to allow the thumb safety detent to extend passed the thumb safety and causing the safety to be jammed in the on position.

The jam is easily repaired by pushing the detent back into the cylinder, but doesn't solve the loose cylinder issue.

Any suggestions, or a smith in the South Bay?

What gun and how old is it? I had a customer with the same issue with his Kimber. Sent it in and got it fixed.

Have any mods (even slight ones) been done to the gun, Ie: Grips?

Springfield 1911A1, per seller this one was constructed circa mid-90's, but I haven't confirmed that yet with SA.

Nothing spectacular; I'm 3rd owner and from my understanding there was a trigger replacement to lengthen the OEM short trigger and a replacement of the grips from the stock SA wood to a more aggressive checkering wood. I've since gone back to the SA grips.

Thanks for the reference, you're not the first to recommend Don so it sounds like my piece will be good hands. :thumbup

Plunger tube? Snug fit and some Loctite. If one of the legs has broken off or is ultra loose, then a new one pressed in and some Loctite.

anyone have an eotech they want to sell?

Let me properly phrase what I was getting at. Every "Striker" fired polymer I've shot, had a horrible out of the box trigger. Anything from Gritty, Clunky, Creep, Slap, or just plain out uncomfortable. Closest I've shot that felt decent was my old Glock 19 that had about $200 of parts and work thrown at it. The striker systems are just crap for me. I can't stand the consistent inconsistency of their triggers.

Try a PPQ. Pretty dang good for a poly pistol. You might be surprised.

I agree with your plastic gun assessment though.
 
Any chance someone is looking for a YHM flip up rear sight (YHM-9680)?

I'd love to trade it plus a bit of cash for a set of Magpul MBUS in FDE.
 
Hey guys can you help me out. I'm looking for a fowl shotgun, both water birds and upland birds.

I have a Benelli M4 and I love it. It's tough to shoot skeet and trap with it though and therefore I don't think I'd like it in the bird field. I'm very familiar with it's operation though.

Do you guys think one of the other Benelli's that operate the same way as my M4 is a good idea? Like a Vinci?

Or should I look at two shot break open type shotguns? This option seems too limiting though. Why limit yourself to only two shots when you can have 5 and automatically loaded at that?

Thanks in advance.
 
Why not the M2? I have it in 20 gauge and it's the sweetest shooting dove gun. evar!

edit if I used to do as much duck and goose as I used to do I'd get a super black eagle. The guide I hunted snow goose with had one, it was a bird folding machine.

For trap and skeet, you're only loading one or two at a time, and bird hunting you can only have three.
That said, I do like my autoloaders, but I'm stuck in late 1890s technology with my Brownings.
