Re: Officers
I have a CC permit for over 30 years so I doubt some cop would take it from me. Why didn't your friend tell him before he opened up the case that there was loose barrels in the case?

I was curious what you guys think of the FLGR? Is there a benefit for the recoil spring or the overall function of the 1911 pistol.

I just spoke to Umarex & they said Remington ammo causes problems with ejecting. He told me to try CCI, Federal or Winchester. So that's what I will do. Thanks for all the replies, I appreciate it.

It's a bit different (the slide) extractor & firing of the 1911 .45. The pin in the mainspring housing is not budging when I press it in with a punch.
