Then installed the parts and checked for function.



Everything works!




I did not have the problem that Hank did with his kit, so I'm assuming that his was just 'Murphy's Law' rearing its head. The only problem I encountered was mine and not the kit's. I couldn't get the 24# spring in and after several tries, installed the 20# spring that Clark also puts in the kit. My initial loads are not 'barn burners' as I'm only wanting 1000-1050fps out of a 255gr'er.

Now to get out to the range a run some rounds through it.


I get 1090 FPS with Buffalo Bore factory loaded 255 grain hard cast in 45 Super and still have the option to fire 45 ACP rounds in the same gun without any changes what so ever.
The barrel slide lock up is a long as possible and I only use and 18.5 pound spring. I do not like the 20+ pound springs
