Man, I'm waiting for a 1911 part, and it seems like it is taking forever. After dealing with Top Gun Supply, CMMG and Midway USA - all of whom ship the same day or the next (when you order something), I've grown inpatient. 2 weeks now, and I still don't have it.

I want it now :x :x

What part are you waiting for?

Don't keep us in suspence!

Haha - well, 2 actually. I sent a magwell off to be refinished. That's way overdue.

And, I bought a tool-less guiderod from Dawson Precision - that's the part I am awating....

Its pretty cool. a 1 piece guiderod - but you pull it out from the rear, similar to how guiderods work on bull barrels. It keeps the spring captive on its own. Anxious to try it.

Please take pics of it so I can see how one works.

Ok.

I know its bad to turn a bushing on a 1911 when the slide is closed - but I've had no otherw ay to disassemble my 1911. It has that 1/2 rail on the frame. And, for some reason - if I take out the slide stop, and just try to pull the slide off that way - something is binding. I have to take the recoil spring out the front, which requires turning the bushing.

So, if this thing works as advertised, it should fix my issue.

I like the wilsons guild kit. I have it on my Combat Commander.

I've used shokbuffs in the past - on guiderods I already had.

Been waiting 2 weeks. I finally called them today - another 2 week wait. Sucks...

How does that saying go.... A watched gun never fires... or something like that.
