1911 Colt in 9 mm

John (and others),

I shot the Colt 9 mm again today. I fired about 90 rounds of Winchester Wallymart ammo. Had 1 failure to extract and about 4 premature slide stop engagements. I plan to notch the stop for the plunger to prevent early engagement (I've had to do this on several other guns--Para Ord. and S&W 4011). I'll also see if I can undercut the extractor hook a little and bend it in a little more. The gun shot a disappointing 4-5" 25 round group at 25 yards. Maybe the malfunctions got to me.

I then shot my 1936 Luger shooter for a 1.5" 14 round group (same Wallymart ammo) and my P-14 Para for a 2" 25 round group (my .45 reloads). They both functioned perfectly and were refreshing to shoot.
