What Mr. Wolverine doesn't know won't hurt him!

Got mine in 9mm last week. Great service and shipped in no time!!! On the range it had no malfinctions in 100 rounds fired and shoots about 2 inches high at 10-15 meters. Fit and finish are great! I can only compare it to the other 1911 I own which is a Norc 1911a1 Sport (which shoots great too but had horrendous tooling marks inside). The trigger pull is on the heavy side but I bought this as a project gun (like the Norc) and am swaping out certain parts and am aiming for an SR1911 Cmdr look. I just got my last parts for my build yesterday from Marstar, so I'll be done soon enough. I want to add pics but don't yet know how to here... sorry
 
Got mine last week and first trip to the range yesterday. I put about 150 through it and it's very accurate, a few feed problems, but I think it's probably a recoil spring issue. A friend has one and he says he just swapped it out for a bit stronger spring. Other than that, shot like a dream. Great service as well.

Don't forget too that there is a break in period of 400 or so rounds. If you lube it up really well and then shoot it some more you will probably find you don't need to swap anything out on it. The pistol just needs to wear itself in a little.

As promised once I found out how to post pics. So, it's still a work in progress, but the end result is a SR1911 look-alike.

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll just have to shoot some more this week!

Put my first 250 rounds through mine the other day using a mix of S&B 124gr FMJ,
American Eagle TMJ flat point and factory reloaded 124gr JHP from Budget Shooting supplies. I found the pistol to be an accurate, easy shooter. Over the 250 rounds fired I had zero Fail to extract or Fail to eject issues. I did experience Fail to feed issues when a magazine was loaded to full capacity. I had the original mecgar magazine that came with the pistol and one stainless Metal form mag from Wolverine.

When loaded with five rounds, all three types of ammo fed without a hitch. When fully loaded, the fmj from S&B did the best but still would have issues every other mag. The pistol was well lubed with Frog lube. The problem appears to be with the magazines, not the pistol. I will put another 2-3 hundred rounds through it before I change anything.

All in all, had a great day at the range and am very happy with the pistol.

Took it out to the range and fired another 130 rounds through it and experienced no issues whatsoever. I am running my own reloads and the first problems might have been mine. I gauged everyone of these rounds and lubed her up well and she fired flawless. My wife has a Shadow and she tried mine and loved it. This is a sweet gun accurate as well.
 
I just took mine to the range yesterday for the first time and got problems. It keeps failing to eject, Anyone else got this?

I will lube it and keep shooting it to "break it in" as recommended.

I am new at this but the extractor tension seems ok.

Any recommendations?

What caliber is yours in? How many rounds have you got through it and what type of ammo are you running in it?
 
I have a 9mm. I shoot about 125 rounds of 115 grains winchester FMJ. I just bought 147 grains ammo today and will try that on my next trip to the range. I think I need to put about 400 rounds thru it to break it in.

I have heard from a few folks as well that the Winchester white box ammo has presented a few issues during break in but once the pistol is broken in it seems to function well. I haven't personally tried it so I can't say for sure, just passing on what I have heard from some customers.

Thanks for the feedback, i'll keep that in mind I love the fit and finish of the gun, I am sure it will be fine once broken in.

Tried that, she's all pregnancy hormones and it'll hurt the baby right now so it didn't work.

Sorry, I'm late to the party. A perfectly acceptable solution to this situation is to buy the gun (many guns) for the baby. Guns are only gonna get more expensive so in the long run you are saving money.

Just brought mine home from its 3rd range day and after a quick clean i had to take her picture, everyone loves this thing, even the local 1911 aficionados thought it was tight and shot superbly for the price! Another overly satisfied customer!
