It should be smooth all the way across but not go up the ramp at all?
It should be smooth all the way across but not go up the ramp at all?
I have not checked any of mine yet but I am wondering........
If I were to do this test with a gun that has always run perfectly and it failed, what would be the point? What would it tell me?
Would it be an indicator of potential short life span? Is this a test more appropriate to an off the bench pistol prior to use or for checking at 2000, 5000, 10000, etc?
Could a pistol be hand fit so it worked perfectly and yet fail this test? Or is this the de facto test of precision fit?
Please advise
Thanks
In post # 8 above....exactly what am I seeing?
The ink not touched should have been worn to a shine on the $7500 example?
The ink only barely removed on the $6500? And that shows the barrel and barrel link and slide stop are not fitted evenly or at all?
I appreciate your insight.
Thanks
For me it comes down to price point. If my 1911 was $550 I would not expect a full barrel fit. In the $4k-$10k range it better have a full barrel fit.As many are noticing, there are many different ideologies when it comes to barrel fit. I haven't seen many, if any, builders or manufactures refuting Joe's philosophy. I hate to make assumptions but this lack of argument from others would tends to make me believe this is the proper method of fit. I really would like to hear and understand why others don't fit girls like CCP. I would think it is either lack of knowledge, lack of effort, or lack of time. Other builders do seem to have A method that creates similar accuracy from a new gun. My thoughts are what happens to the accuracy after the parts are beat into submission and battered into place?

What frustrates me is seeing the money guys are spending on builds and I can achieve better results in my garage with minimal training and experience .
That is one of the better production pistols posted so far. A bit of barrel bump on the one side but then it looks like it transitions the slide stop pin to the barrel feet nicely.After: View attachment 4005View attachment 4006Dan Wesson PM-C
This could be exciting.OK;
Finally got some Dykem and will start checking out the 1911s in my stable. Almost afraid to see the results on some of my higher-priced pistols.
