The few of us in Canada -are on the same track ,shutting down pipelines, Line 5 under Mich. is under threat . Our liberal fed govenment shut down pipeline to the west coast due to anna hummingbirds nesting , stopping a much need highway 413 around Toronto for study about a frog ( i am not making...

Thanks for your replys - no mailing of gun parts between Canada and USA , can get some small stuff thru Brownells but not barrels ,slides etc. I am working on a new load different round nose bullet 1.1 oal for this week ,will trial and error this one till I get it .

Local gun store - no qualified gun smith ,In my province Ontario Canada no knowledge of a qualified gunsmith that I know off. My club members that I shoot with no word on "good" qualified gunsmith in area . I did send my norinco 1911 out of province to a smith that was in business a good long...

Thanks - yes ball works better ,the 147 flat point are problems . I have some more 124 round nose on the way will try some more reloads at 1.1 oal . The pistol is used told less than 500 rounds thru it so it should be broken in .

yes - case gauging with the barrel is working for me

ran 120 rounds thru it this eve at ppc - one eft with the short round nose 124 re-loads -seems like I am on the right path to a fix , pistol is good needs the right ammo

no factory on hand ,have not bought factory in over 5 years , Most ammo/gun needs are online orders in Canada -reloading is the best for me

took down both the guardian and the pm-9 -chamber check the rounds in barrels, both the pm-9 and dillion chamber check would eat all my 124 and 147 but the Guardian would not . Made up a batch of 124 with reduced oal down to 1.09-1.1 and good for the Guardian on the drop in test . Range night...

the 124 is-campro - copper plate round nose , 147 berry bullet round nose flat point . I have not run factory ammo that will be next .I do not know what the meaning of "hitting lands "is ? Thanks

New to me used DW guardian not running right . Every other mag thru it a bullet will not feed into the camber , as if the bullet is to long to camber . The ejected round is fine when I run it thru my PM-9 . Also have had empty cases stuck in camber after round fired , have to rod it out . I shot...

included the norinco that started this 1911 thing for me

updating - picked up a used DW Guardian -not all stock though -hammer not sock and grip safety not working different than stock? i
