Love my LW Operator - feels a pound lighter than my Loaded with a 10rd. mag in it.

Yea, it's a big difference. A 46 ounce loaded steel 1911 is just too much.Quote:

It’s common to have both types of brass cycle fine with extractor “tuned” for Semi rimmed Super brass.
(Most production 1911 have Zero “fitting” of extractors to begin with, which is responsible for a lot of indictments of “unreliability”)
Pretty simple to adjust tension if it doesn’t.
An external extractor which functions from a coil spring should work fine.
Thanks!Quote:

Yeah, that should work too. I remember reading [American Rifleman?] that the basis for the 9 x 23 Win round was shortened .223 brass.Quote:
