LPKs

Is there a site sells an all-inclusive LPK for 2011/1911s?
much like a LPK for an AR lower.

i currently just piecemeal parts needed to complete a x11 frame.

but figured there was somewhere that sells a complete LPK or an LPK thats 80-90% complete.

Preferences - FFL vs DIY

I have multiple FFL purchases, but they very rarely get range time. Even my FFL AR-PCCs.
Whenever I look through the the collection to see what I want to take out, its almost always a DIY build. Whether 3DP or AR-80%... Even my 80% glocks and 80% sigs dont really get too much attention..
Just something about a DIY build.. having it run reliably, accurately, that excites the senses.
Sometimes I just like looking at the collection dry firing a couple pistols or just shouldering a few 80% AR builds....

Today's Range Test

I put toghether another spynx 92fs.
This time with an optic plate.
Took it out to the range this morning and the thing is a dart.. well after dialing in the dot.
For whatever reason all my 92fs builds shoot low at 7 yrds when using their iron sights.
For my other Sphynx, I need to install an adjustable rear site it seems.

Max 2011 - Sig vs STI

ive printed multiple STI frames(no scallop, no front rail), and each frame's front rail pocket is considerably smaller than the front rail.

the sig frame, same no-scallop, no front rail), and the front rail pocket is sized accordingly.

also notice the sti frame is slightly shortter than the sig frame.

maybe a different set of STI STLs were uploaded compared to what was tested ?

i have my STI frame complete (sear, sear srping hammer all work), just that the front rail pocket is too small for the front rail.

Sig frame is complete.. No issues.

1911 Question

if not acceptable to post here ill delete(1911builders sub looks done).. but figured some here would be able to answer.

Was watching a video on back mountain gunsmiths in the Philipines. And most of the builds, and the building process thereof, were mainly 1911s. So feeling inspired.

With respect to 1911 jigs/rail-cutting tools, whats the recommended setup to complete a non-ramped frame ?

I can put together a 3dp 1911 frame with my eyes closed.

So figured Id challenge myself by completing a steel/metal 1911-80.

Im well versed in completing MUP1s and AR80s, so figured 1911-80s are pretty much the same concept.

Cut, cut,. snip snip, drill.

Also .. who is the best, most recommended, 1911-80 vendor in recent times ?

Hi Point - C9 Frame

What are the suggested 3DP frames to build a C9 ?
I know theres the lo-point, but that seems janky or rather needs much fiddling to get it to work.
Are there any other C9 frames that are regarded as more print-n-play ?

EGP is having a hi-point sale, so wanting to pick up a kit .. but only if there is a solid frame for the build.

Tiny 11

Any Tiny-11 success stories ?

If so, what slide did you go with ?

Have to ask, since all historical posts are gone from this site.

Ill also look in the archives..

But in the meantime, any reports not yet posted ? Or any model updates to report on ?

XD(x) Magazine Release Install Hack (5-15 min install)

This 'hack' pre-assembles the latch and spring prior to inserting into frame.

Steps

  1. Cut a 2mm rod/pin to 12-13mm length - aka mini slave pin
  2. Insert spring into latch with respect to correct orientation
  3. Use mini-slave pin from #1 to hold spring into latch. This completes latch/spring pre-assembly
  4. Insert master pin into frame. In a staging position, readying it to complete the install
  5. Insert latch/spring pre-assembly into frame.
  6. Align latch/spring pre-assembly to frame pin holes
  7. Drive master pin all the way through latch/spring pre-assembly.. thus pushing out mini-slave pin. Capturing both sides of the latch into the frame.
  8. Now watch a you tube video to install the release button... As you will have to slightly push the pin back out to install the release button... This part is super easy though..
