Cracker LSU Fan in a box Member since Nov 2009 3189 posts Online	1911 experts (Posted on 1/30/13 at 5:52 pm) I am building a Wilson Combat 1911 I and have a question what is the Diff between a mainspring housing that is "Speed chute flat" or an "Speed chute officers"? and if it does not matter which one i pick does the choice effect anything else in the build? Thanks in advance.

If this were the other way around, the 1911 guys would already have started the Glock bashing.

I can completely break down my Glock with a center punch and flat head screw driver in a matter of minutes. It's so easy ill never have to ask for message board help

bapple LSU Fan Member since Oct 2010 4189 posts	re: 1911 experts (Posted on 1/30/13 at 6:00 pm to Cracker) I would go with the regular flat to make sure. I know the grip on officer-sized 1911s is shortened but I'm not sure what exact part of it has been shortened. I'm not sure if they shortened the MSH or the grip safety.

Glock17 USA Fan Member since Oct 2007 12156 posts	re: 1911 experts (Posted on 1/30/13 at 6:05 pm to JAB528) A good friend of mine was given a Wilson 1911 as a gift that a friend of his built and we could never get the damn thing to run right. After mad polishing of the feed ramp it worked a little better, but it still always seems to hang up on the last round in the mag no matter what mag we tried.

I know my friend had to go back and do some additional fitting on some of the parts to make it return to battery properly. Overall it's been pretty frustrating since Wilson's are supposed to be top notch.... Although I'm 100% sure their production complete guns are a lot different
