Slide bite from a 1911? Are you the hulk? Just never shoot a ppk if thats the case. I'll agree though, gi sights suck. My vision is awesome at 20/15 but the sights are tiny, and i shoot pistols 2 eyes open.

Whoops, I meant hammerbite. Actually, it is really more of a combination of hammerbite and the grip safety digging into my hand

Ah that makes sense, i like commander/ring hammers a lot better and beavertail grip safeties.

Midway and DSA still don't have any 20 round FAL mags in stock? It's been 2 goddamn months!

Unless you don't like 1911's. I would upgrade the hammer and grip safety as K9870 said. While drop-in beavertails don't look all that great, it'll take care of your hammer bite. Shortening the spur hammer would be the quickest and cheapest method though.

Here's a good article on the HS 1911's. Not sure how old it is.

I'd rather just sell it. I already have all the .45 I need at the moment

It'd be neat to go over to the Briley shop and have them trick it out a bit

Accompanied a buddy to the gun shop the other day. I saw that Stoeger Cougers were slightly north of $400 new. Anyone have any experience with them?

You could probably get something better than a Cougar for around that much on Gunbroker or at a gunshow
