I am going to collect my new Sig from Mike at Icon Arms and also wanting to see the new Glock as I still have a second open slot for another LBP.

If you are Bisley on the Sunday come over to Butt Zero where some of us will be shooting the Practical Pistol match. I'm sure everyone there will be happy to talk through the kit they are using and I recon every LBP on the market will be in use there. Of course every shooter will claim that their chosen option is the best Of course they are all wrong unless they are using a Low Mill 1911

Thanks for the invite, but I am only going on the Saturday, mainly to collect my new Sig P226 LBP from Mike at Icon Arms, plus picking up my Anvil Conversions Remington 1858 Nitro Revolver. Looking forward to my one day at the Phoenix, it will be my first time. Looks like I will have the whole weekend next year, may even enter a few comps, but not sure if good enough ? !!!

Of course most people have better taste in grip panels

A local gun shop has the new GSG 1911 for £445-

£430 round these parts

Bloody hell, I'll keep looking...

They are my team america grips, when it all goes wrong I can give the secret signal!

sportsman gun had them for £413 !!

Just an update.
I put another 300 rounds through mine yesterday and only had 2 failures. (Technically 3 but me not putting the mag in fully doesn't count )
It appears I need to be careful how the mags are loaded. Pushing from the top instead of pulling the follower down and making sure the rounds are settled in the mag seems to work. Tried with both CCI Standard Velocity and Golden Bullet.

I got fed up of trying to find the extended mag bases so I've knocked up a couple of my own. So far is worked ok but more testing is needed and maybe longer springs. With these I can get 15 rounds in a mag and load on a closed slide for 15+1 total. I don't think I'm going to get much better than that.
