Bob you have a great way of explaining mechanical fitment. Glad I found your channel. Lots of good intel.
Thanks and welcome
Thank you for your expertise. You have increased my knowledge
on 1911s. 👍😊🇺🇸
Glad to help, More to come...:)
Thanks Bob I always enjoy your videos. How about a 22lr conversion video.
Hi James, This is on our list but not in the immediate future.
Awesome as always. Thank you sir. Take care, Vern
Thanks, you too!
Great video as always!! Hope you are feeling better!!
Thank you, Yes, I am on the rebound and back working 12 hour days....:)
Nice Info Thanks Bob 😀😊😀
Any time! Glad you join in!!!
Thank you for all the super support!
I really appreciate someone who is an expert in their field.
Thank you sir for you nice comments!
I understand that he was with Dan Wesson.
EXCELLENT EXCELLENT VIDEO yet I disagree about flat springs. Wilson Combat 17 pound flat spring kit has worked perfectly in my Springfield TRP for over 5000 rounds. Many of those were +P. Also, as not so smart as it was with an added shock buffer 80 rounds of 45 Super! Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast! Wilson Combat says the flat springs can last up to 40,000 rounds. Well after my experience I think they've tested them pretty much properly. Just my thoughts.
Thanks for the info! Yes, They do work well, but what we find is it is a bastard recoil rod system and many folks get confused and have issues because they do not understand you cannot use standard 1911 guide rod parts.
Awesome
Thank you for your super comments
Flat springs do have their advantages.
Bob all ur info is very helpful.. I have a 38 super Rock Island and do to ammo.. In Ca opted to converted to 9mm but the casings are getting chewed on the way out…. What spring would work for both 38 super 130 grn vs 9mm 124 grn.. 9mm 115gr is seems to be to light…Thanks
Yes, depending on how tight the pistol is and the set-up, I would start with a 10 or 12# recoil spring for the 9mm and 14-16# for the 38 Super. Generally if the cases are getting chewed-up it is due to to heavy of a recoil spring. Also, maybe look at an extended ejector. This may also help.
Cool
Had I found and watched the first 2 minutes and 33 seconds of this vid a few days ago, I would’ve save myself a bunch of wondering. Thanks !
Now I just need to figure out why this thing is making a ringing noise when I rack the slide. It’s almost like a tuning fork being struck. Maybe it’s the extractor, but why does it ring?
Glad it helped! But, a ringing noise, Hum, I have never heard of this.
Have 9mm Springfield 1911 with factory spring. It operates but spring "feels" light & my concern is pistol "battering wear" due to light vs heavier spring. Do you advise replacing factory spring with heavier spring (that works) to prevent "battering wear" ?
This will all depend on the loads you are using. On standard 5 inch Gov 45 acp pistols I like 16# or 18# for most standard loads, for the 9mm I like the 10#, 12# and sometime depending on loads the 14#. Replacing some factory springs is a good call. With many production makes of pistols, many manufactures use lighter springs so that when a person is at the gun shop and racks back the slide the pistol feels easier to pull back and some say "Feels smoother". You can also easily test and see if you have too heavy of a spring in the pistol. If the spring is too heavy the slide will not cycle all the way back and you will not go to slide "Lock-back" on empty mag, in operation.
If you cut a 16 lbs spring, will the spring tension decrease?
Yes, less coils, less operating tension.
When I add a sound suppressor to my firearm, I get failure-to-feed or failure-to-eject. Is it likely that a heavier recoil spring or a lighter recoil spring will solve my problem?
You will need a lighter recoil spring..
Another indicator of recoil spring setting is the distance that the cartridge lands from your shooting position.
Yes, you are correct. This is a good indicator. Good call.
Hope you're feeling better Bob, do you have a opinion on variable rate springs?
Thank you, I am back working but still have the Covid Hack. But, feeling better every day. On the variable springs, I have used them but have generally found not much of any advantage if any. I do see where they may help with suppressors or comps, to aid in cycling sometimes. But, generally you can find a standard spring weight that will work well with most applications. Good question though.
I have a Magnum Research 10 mm and the gun flings the casings 8 to 10 feet behinds me . Willa larger spring size help not to throw them so far back ???
Yes, a heavier recoil spring will help slow down the ejection.
I just bought my first 1911 commander in 45 acp and it is so stiff for me that it is hard to rack when it arrived. Any advice to remedy my situation? I had torn a ligament on my left hand before that's why my grip isn't as it used to be.
Are you meaning to rack the slide? if so reduce recoil spring to 14-16#. and in the situation of reduced weight recoil springs, maybe add a shok-buff. Also consider lighter loads.
How do you feel about using shock buffers?
They have some application depending on loads, caliber and how you are going to set you pistol up. But, if you set the pistol up properly with proper recoil springs they are generally not needed.
what is the name of the song at the end of this video?
👍 Thanks for another very helpful video.
Could you do one on AR's too? I have a rifle length that is failing to feed. Good mags, gas key seal, m16 bolt carrier, A2 front sight, carbine buffer. I feel like the buffer spring is too strong since it doesn't want to lock back on light loads.
Hi James, We will be sticking with the 1911, & then our Shotguns for more content. No ARs in the plan.
Use good 5.56 ammo, not .223. No TUL, Wolf, or junk like it.
great videos all things 1911, wish yall had the officer standard bull barrel (SS) in stock.... not sure if I should wait or get eBay version ...
Thank you for the nice comments, Call into or email customer services with what caliber you are looking for. We are making officers barrels about every 4 to 5 days
@@fusionfirearms thanks, I will do that
Some say ejected cartridge throw distance should be 3' to 5'. Is that a generally good indicator?
Yes, for a 45 acp. in the lighter 9mm's and such it will generally be less.
@@fusionfirearms Good to know. Thank you.
Is 9lb spring too light for a 2011 9mm 4.25?
No, That is OK, As long as it is functioning well for you.
@@fusionfirearms Thanks for the input. Have a prodigy with new internals. Has 17lb main spring. Have both 9lb and 12lb recoil spring. both work great, 9lb seems a little better.
YOU need more light, its way to dark
Yes, we are changing this on newer videos and more lighting
