Springfield Loaded Ultra Compact 1911 - Round 2

So an update to this little pistol. Just worked in the slide and frame with some JB Bore, so that should help in with the break in period. I ran a box of Remington 45's down range and everything works just fine. No problems.

Out of the box, the stock barrel could only feed ball ammo, and wouldn't even take any defense JHP ammo. Even after the 50 rounds, it still felt like it was new and the JHP's barely budged from the mag, and would just hang up on the ramp.

So I gave it a little polishing, similar to what I had done for the Mil-Spec's barrel and frame. I just used some 600 grit sand papers on the ramp, and ran it north-south on the ramp to take away the grove lines that ran east-west. The end result is a mirror finish.

Out of the box barrel ramp, after the range, 50 rounds of Remington ball ammo:

Out of the box barrel ramp, after wiping off the gun powder and grit:

Polished, 600 grit sandpaper. Don't mind the slight markings on there, it was from my fingernail checking the smoothness of the surface:

Now it will feed JHP's without hanging up on the ramp.

Next will be heading to the range for some more ball ammo, and try out some Hydra Shok JHP's.

Magpul Dynamics - The Art of Dynamic Handgun DVD set

The DVD set arrived yesterday afternoon. And last night, I watched about 1 hour 45 minutes of the first DVD. This is one intense video. Magpul does such a great job of breaking down every motions and mechanics of how one should handle their pistol. Everything from admin reload to tactical reload to pushing out the pistol at a target. Check out the Magpul promo video.

I thought I knew how to grip my pistol, and have been playing around with my grips. But after watching the first DVD, I've learned a new way. Will have to test out this grip at the range.
I can't wait to get into the remaining DVD's! I'll report back.
