I enjoyed the Micro that had back in 09. I ran about a thousand rounds through it. It shot very well and only balked on feeding Speer Gold Dots. The Kimber Ultra's I had at the time wouldn't feed them either.. I had a brass takedown fitting made to that sure speed things up.. I have the dimensions if you want them.. Actually, I believe I still have the part.. Ron

Quite honestly ... I haven't taken it down that far just yet. I will let you know if I run into issues when I do.

THANKS!!!

Put another 150 through the little Springer last night and again, she ran 100%! First 125 or so were WWB and the last few mags were Golden Saber 185s (my defensive load choice for small 45s). The new slide stop and right handed (only) safety worked perfectly. Confidence is building! She does shoot a tad low with the WWB ammo (6" at 10 yards) ... not as bad with the Golden Sabers (2 to 3 inches). I believe this is a common issue with short barreled 1911s.

Mine liked the GS 185's as well.. All my 3" 1911's did actually.. If I remember correctly, mine required covering the target with the sights spot on. It took me some time to learn to shoot the 3" pistols and then it was difficult to go back to the longer 1911's. I eventually learned as the 3" was so short, I couldn't feel a deflection in angle (or tilt) like I could with the longer pistols. A locking the wrist issue I believe. Certainly a different feel to shooting them.. Ron

Ron ... I agree, it is different. I am now able to shoot pretty good groups with the gun. I couldn't say that after the first couple of magazines. It has grown on me.

If I fully cover the target with the front sight using the GS 185s then it is close to right on ... certainly good enough. I will only carry those rounds as they are both accurate and easy to shoot because of the reduced bullet weight.

Best,

Mike
