Springfield Mil-Spec Full Size 1911 : Round 2 & 3's : Range Report

After round 2 and 3's modifications, I took the Mil-Spec to the range this afternoon, and I'm COMPLETELY HAPPY!!!

Round 2's recap:

1. new flat trigger.
2. new ambi-safety
3. new lighter mainspring
4. new flat mainspring housing
5. new barrel bushing
6. trigger and sear work

Round 3's recap: polished feed ramp

All of these combinations make for a new found pistol. The flat trigger and sear worked paid off wonderfully. The pull is quick without any creep, and the break is clean! New, lighter, mainspring and tighter barrel bushing helped and kept the grouping tighter. And the new flat mainspring housing also helped my grip and I got back on target quicker.

I also tried a new grip method, which came from Magpul Dynamic's Handgun DVD - Disc 1. Both arms were kept locked straight, and I used equal amount of pressure from both hands.

So now there are another 105 rounds thru the Mil-Spec. One hundred of them are ball ammo from Remington's UMC ammo stash; 230g bullets. And the other five rounds were from Federal's Hydra-Shok JHP collection; 165g bullets. The polished feed ramp is just AWESOME! Every round feed without any objection. And every rounds fired and ejected perfectly.

Next round of mods:

• bobtail stock mil-spec hammer
• reshape stock mil-spec grip safety

Consideration of doing a bobtail mainspring housing from Ed Brown. We'll see how I feel about this later.

The Crazies

The Crazies opened this weekend, and I went on Saturday to see it.

Don't worry, I won't spoil it for those that haven't seen it.

The movie takes place in a rural area that's pretty isolate. Small town life is such an easy going, nothing to worry, everyone knows everyone else, type of atmosphere that I can see myself living, later in life.

The Sheriff walks around with just a pistol, back up mag, and some hand cuffs. In town, he knows everyone by their first name. If he was in metropolitan city, he would look like he is a private security contractor for a major corporation. And he would only know most of the workers by their first name.

The movie quickly leads into the plot and quickly shit starts to hit the fan, and most of the town is transformed into a living nightmare. The government realizes they must contain the incident, immediately. And the whole town goes under Marshall Law. The army moves in and rounds up all residents and place them in a field hospital or M.A.S.H.

The army goes house-to-house and search for stragglers. Anyone caught running or don't comply are shot on the spot! All I have to say is, thank god we have the Second Amendment! There were a few that were armed, and they were able to escape for their freedom.

The Sheriff goes back to his headquarter and find nothing. All of the department's equipments were looted by the army. But he was able to find a revolver that was hidden in his desk. And the story continues on with him trying to save the day with his 6-shooter.

My take away from this movie: Stock up on guns, ammo, and equipments that could save your and your family's lives! And don't store it all in one spot where if someone else found them, you're going to be shit-out-of-luck! And body armor might be a good investment.

hummmm...time to shop for more stuff.
