Help on extended mag release (EMR) on my 1911
 

After Saturdays shoot I noticed I would have to rotate the gun in my grip to hit my factory mag release. I've built my gun with mostly EB, WC, and S&A parts so far. I run hogue grips on mine and don't want to end up having to ship parts back and forth to Brownells. Which EMR will stick out far enough from the hogue grips that I wouldn't have to loosen my grip? I can shoot some pics if a visual helps.

Also over the weekend to mags didn't want to drop out of the gun very well. Had to shake it and wing them out ruining my mag change etiquette. Other then adding weight to the mags, any ideas? The mags slide in nice and easy whether it be CMC, Novak, or WC. It might be that I'm just not pushing the mag release enough thinking about......

Thanks

Dave

Told ya DaveW would help ya.

Welcome back, buddy

Thanks again mike. I PM'd our friend as well.

After this I guess I'm looking a barrel. I swear this thing is going to nickel and dime me do death :eek:

Still cheaper then truck I traded. No more Ferds in the Yard :D

Did you try the Sharpie trick i suggested on FCC to see if the nag catch was dragging?

Something like this may help. They help with my short stumpy fingers.

My Wilson grips have a groove by the mag catch for your thumb to rest in..which does me no good since i shoot leftie..may help you though

Yea but she wasn't very please :D

I'll give the EMR a try first. Then I'll have to play with grips, But I really like the Hogue cause I can grab a hold of the gun real good.

gee, you can't decipher Pigisms?

Whaaaattttt?

funny

I seriously think you need to try some good flat panel grips over those wraparounds before you go ordering a new mag catch..borrow some and try them at a range session..if ya can't find any, I have a set of Wilson G10's I may be able to loan ya

I still have the factory ones. Next time I go and play on a move/shoot range I'll give it try. That's for the offer.

Alex, that's something that should have been addressed at the factory. Good advice.
