I love my operator, it's my favorite pistol methinks. However, My surefire X200 is pretty wobbly when I mount it on the rail underneath. I know there are the two adapters that come with the light, one of them is definately too small, and the larger adaperter is still wobbling around, I mean there is quite a bit of play between the light and the frame. I was wondering if this is normal. And if it's not, what I can do about it. Thanks guys. gratuitous picture.

BTW, which guy are you in the photo? The guy drinking out of the bottle in one hand with a firm grip on his girl with the other, or the other guy daintily holding the champagne glass who doesn't look too happy next to the girl in pink? (no foul intended, just having fun)

That's a Mil-Spec Operator. Discontinued a few years ago along with the Loaded Operator and replaced by the MC Operator. |
I'm the dainty one. Can't you tell by my fingers? Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaving for California right now directly from work, so I won't get a chance to see whats wrong, the surefire is out of spec or the springfield. I'll keep you posted. |
| The wobble is something Surefire is looking to remedy. I talked to Standridge who's in the military sales dept, I mentioned to him that my x200 was also wobbly and is there any thing to do about it. He said on the plastic frame guns it's not an issue but after prolonged use they loosen up on the steel frames. John said they're working on a new mounting system (maybe out of aluminum) to keep everything tight |

Zakk They still make the Loaded Operator. It is through the custom shop only like it always has been. I spoke to Deb (I think it was Deb) a few days ago and you can get them starting at 2495 now. They have about a 6 mth wait for them. I found one at a local shop, gently used for under 800 and grabbed it with a BIG ole grin on my face as the dealer did not know what he had.

Your're referring to the Custom Operator. The Loaded Operator had the same specs as their regular Loaded 1911s but with a full-length rail. Loaded Operator:  Custom Operator:

Just don't drop the m6 because it will break. |
