@Guns_Gadgets Leave it to NJ. AJ Davenport is as evil as they come. When she’s not enrolling illegal voters she’s violating our Second Amendment rights.

I’ll let y’all fight this one out in the comments, but…

You SHOULDN’T repeatedly drop the slide on an empty chamber of a finely tuned 1911.

And we have more 1911 gunsmiths at Nighthawk who have been inducted into the American Pistolsmiths Guild than any company in the world, so I’m not just spouting fuddlore.

I could blindly present one of our gunsmiths with two pistols (one where the slide has been repeatedly dropped on an empty chamber and one which hasn’t) and they’d be able to tell which is which within about 5 seconds. You can comfortably shoot tens of thousands of rounds without any of the same issues.

Here’s why:

On most finely tuned 1911s, the issue has to do with the precision and interaction of very specifically refined fire-control geometries.

The hammer hooks are typically shorter and much more precisely squared, the sear nose is very carefully stoned and polished, engagement is pretty much reduced to the minimum needed for a safe, crisp break, and the entire system is sprung lighter than on a GI-style pistol.

That combination is what gives you the clean, glass rod-style trigger pull people expect from high end 1911s, but it also means there is less excess engagement and less margin for repeated shock.

When you drop the slide on an empty chamber it closes at full speed because it isn’t bleeding off any energy to strip a round from the magazine and chamber it.

This isn’t one size fits-all. Slide mass, spring weight etc all play a factor. But, when the slide abruptly stops without that “cushion”, the impact is transmitted through the entire pistol. On a finely tuned trigger, that can momentarily disturb the sear/hammer relationship, can batter or alter the extremely small, precisely fit engagement surfaces, and (over time) contribute to sear bounce or hammer follow.

It’s not that custom 1911s are fragile or that one empty-chamber slide drop will damage it. It’s that you’re unnecessarily hammering on very specific surfaces that are fit and polished to tolerances measured in thousandths of an inch.

A GI-style 1911 has more engagement and more margin - so it isn’t so much an issue.

A finely tuned 1911 has less margin because that refinement is ultimately what you’re paying the gunsmith for.

@Guns_Gadgets Not even a question

@The_Tin_Lizard @300aacblackout @NaviGoBoom Ah yes there it is the classic arrogant “you need to get some training” comment. Yes training from a hot headed arrogant self proclaimed trainer that has convinced himself that his opinions on firearms handling and techniques are the only way. Strong pass on your training.

[Ruger152 @ken66708]

@The_Tin_Lizard @300aacblackout @NaviGoBoom He’s right on pretty much all of that when taken into proper context but I’m sure your vast firearms experience far outweighs his.

@ShawnASearle1 @Brociopath @MainersMotive Safety doesn’t make you lose your protections under the 4th Amendment just because you happen to be on a vessel surrounded by beautiful women.

@wakeupnj Mean while the NJ AG has violent criminals running around free to reoffend.

[Ruger152 @ken66708]

@wakeupnj We also have the most evil ass doctors in the country who literally encourage this on women every day.

@DocStrangelove2 Literally everyone in the gun community have been asking for a return of legacy models so CZ is like yeah so let’s stop production of what is disputed as a king of legacy models.

[Congressman Jeff Van Drew @Congressman_JVD]

We wrote the Governor to ask a simple question: how were thousands of noncitizens able to register to vote in New Jersey?

She answered with 3 pages of political talking points and personal smears — and no answers.

It was beneath her office. We will not stop pursuing the facts.

[Ruger152 @ken66708]

@CheriFromNJ What she does best, protecting the criminals!

[Ruger152 @ken66708]

@GunWashington Sorry once the law was shot down which the DOJ knew could have happened, they should have made prior guidance in advance. Now the DOJ can only blame themselves if we the people proceed based on good faith and current legal reasoning.

[Ruger152 @ken66708]

@TheAKGuy You could always be like her and resort to personal attacks. Seems like there is a lot there to attack and it would be hard to miss lol

@Pharaoh_Fravel @gunpolicy Prior Supreme Court ruling that limits scope to those with standing and limits nationwide injunctions thanks to rouge lower courts stopping entire federal law enforcement actions.

American elections should be decided by American citizens.

That’s not radical. That’s common sense.

Pass the SAVE America Act.
