I have read people saying that the factory extractor won't hold adjustment. I adjusted it to work for now just to verify the extractor was the issue. I plan to use a quality extractor and I will take the time to set the deflection with that part.

Fortunately magazines aren't too expensive and they're easy to swap out.

This is already in the works. I have a 75b and a compact with manual safety that I'm making payments on. I'll probably get a 97 after that. Too bad CZ Custom discontinued the 10mm conversion for the 97.

The mags that came with it were junk. One feel apart and the other one held the rounds too high and wouldn't let the slide release. It would be easier to convert. 40 to 10mm but there aren't any 40 cal 1911s on the California roster.

I ended up adjusting the extractor for now. It is feeding well now. As for getting a 10mm, I would have to buy the 45acp version and send it back to be converted. That might be something I can consider doing with a Springfield. The high end custom route, like Wilson, would practically require a...

I don't know if I'd consider any of those Springfields an upgrade to the Dan Wesson. Being that I'm from Long Beach I'd probably consider the LB if it was available. And I'd probably consider getting a Springfield as a defense weapon over the Dan Wesson just because I wouldn't want the...

I'm new to the world of 1911 building/modifying. I have done AR and Glock builds/mods, but that's obviously not even close to being in the same level. I currently own 2 1911s. The first is a Dan Wesson PM7 45 and I just recently got a Citadel. The Citadel has been having feeding issues from...

Thank you! I've only gotten a chance to take it out once so far. Only about 8 magazines through it, but it shoots great already.

Thank you. I'm excited to be able to pick it up on Monday. California definitely has a lot of issues. Unfortunately I am too deeply rooted here to be able to leave. Or else I'd be out of here. I'd much rather be a part of the United States lol

I definitely have a feeling this is just the beginning of a new addiction. I'm already thinking about adding different caliber 1911's. I will have research whats available to me in this non American state I live in.

Thank you for the welcomes

Hi everyone. I will be getting my first 1911 a week from tomorrow (good old California). I will be starting my 1911 journey with a Dan Wesson PM7-45. I look forward to learning everything I can about this iconic firearm. Brad
