Not bad. I got 100 rounds shot and the wife got 50 thru her P238 before the rains came. I had 1 misfeed in the first mag. Only other issue is my spare 3 promags won't hold the slide open on the last round. Both Sig mags and 1 Promag worked correctly.Trigger is nothing like my 1911 guns so will take some work. All in all we had fun. Here is a pic of 2 mag loads.

Did you limp wrist it? As to the promags, I’ve never used anything other than OEM in polymer guns so not much help there. Mark them and see if it continues to be an issue once you have more rounds through it. Also, install the flat trigger. It really does feel lighter. I shoot 1911s a lot and it helped. The only issue I’ve had with mine is using 147gr ammo. Not really an issue I guess, but I can see the explosion in the chamber when firing. Doesn’t happen with 124. |

I disagree.
I prefer the tactile feel of the flat trigger, but once broken in, the flat and stock trigger feel the same to me in terms of pull. |

You may know better then. I only gave the stock trigger 100rds and switched it out. Flat triggers feel better to me in all respects. Never tried one in a 1911 though, seems wrong. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: That's cool, but isn't saya Japanese? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WICOUNSEL: That's cool, but isn't saya Japanese? Yes, but the Japanese Kanji is old school Chinese symbols, so it also means "Slice" in Japanese. Originally Posted By knoxtnshooter: That's awesome. Sweet slicer too. I assume that one is pulling kitchen duty? It's in the kitchen most of the time since I usually use it to process pheasants, quail, ducks, etc. I like the smaller blades for breasting birds. I made the saya so I can take it with me on hunting trips. |

This is after I glued the two halves together and added walnut dowels for added strength and aesthetics.

Slice is the same for both.
