Awesome.
It looks much better with all the parts on it.

The mill work looks really awesome. How do you like the texture of the grip over a standard?

That would be a nice touch and practical on your 10

Yep, I guess it's a good thing I am forbidden from owning a 1911.

Well yes. But this is a "2011" so the door is wide open for you.

Update.

I got out to the range today for some testing! I was using my tried and true 124gr titegroup loads that I use in other 9mm. Not the best powder for a ported 9mm but I want to test and break the gun in before I start testing other powder/bullet combo.

Since the gun needs broke in, I started with a 14# recoil spring. Put one round in the mag and close the slide. Round chambered smoothly. Pulled the trigger and it went bang (in a good way). I did notice that the empty case stove piped. Chalk that up to the 14# recoil spring. So i kept going to a lighter recoil spring until the stove pipes went away. Ended up with a 11# spring for the first 500/1000 round break in.

After I got the recoil spring figured out, it was time to see how the gun runs. I will say this is one of the nicest/ lowest recoiling pistols I have shot.

I am very pleased on the performance. I am also very pleased with the craftsmanship that Allen put into this pistol!

Now I'm excited to get it broke in and experiment with different recoil springs. Also do some load development with hs6/autocomp powder. So the ports will work more effectively.

I am really curious what chrono results will be when you get to that point

I'll keep you posted. So far I think the 2 ports are working well. I don't think it will need a third. But I do want to do more testing and see chrono results first.

I wonder how well this will work with the open gun loads you used to make AllenM? I'm sure HS6, Autocomp, and CFE Pistol will all make enough gas for those ports work well.

14lb spring for a 9mm? That's what I use in my 45 w. 170+PF loads. I'd think 11ish would be about right. What are you trying to accomplish with a "break in" spring and what do you intend to change to? Just curios...

[stymie12000]

I started with 14# from a recommendation. Since I have springs from 8# to 14#. I thought why not. Changing the spring is quick and simple.

In the end I will go with the spring that works best for the gun. I have the springs and the time to test. So I don't have a specific spring rate that I am trying to achieve. That doesn't matter to me. I just want a spring rate so the gun will run the best it can in my hands!

Since everything is new and tolerance is tight I will use a heavier spring until it loosens up!

Could you send me your info. I'd like a cerakote finish on my .22lr
thanks

You can find Allen at Diamond collision in Avon Ind.
He is the owner and most always there.

Precision collision? Really? Diamond Collision please.

Awe geez man, I am sorry.

Fixed it.
