![]() ![]() Target acquisition was very fast following the recoil.negiigible muzzle flip, and once the slide did its ejection and chambering, she was right back on target, as if it had its own eyes.Ĭomfort: The checkering on the grip is nice and sharp. This is, without a doubt, the most tame, well-mannered pistol I have EVER shot.īalance: Again, unbelievable. Recoil: Oh my God, I was beginning to expect the gun to produce big fluffy balls of cotton candy at some point. When my targets were in shadow from the interior range lighting, it was hard to discern the black target from the black sights. The sights are NOT your thin-bladed combat sights.they are very nice size, beefy, and present a great sight picture, but they are all black. At night, I would probably do better throwing my shoes at an attacker. ![]() Sights: Great, if your situation is well-lit. Now for my overall thoughts on the gun after shooting it. The center ring is 4.47" tall, 3.25" wide. Nice easy shooting, trying to keep each shot roughly 5 seconds apart, controlled breathing, etc. Then I loaded up two more mags, set a Shoot-N-See target at 7 yards, and went to work. Only complaint I have is that they could have spent an extra 50 cents on it, and provided a factory-installed recoil bushing.ĭid the first two mags (16 rounds total) getting used to the sight picture, and finding out where she put them as opposed to where my normal sight picture expects them to go. I was showing 4 pounds, the experienced hands were showing a bit under 4.ĩ) Nicely checkered and finished walnut grips.ġ0) Slide and frame are blued, NOT Parkerized. If anyone can feel creep in this trigger, consider a career as a brain surgeon, because those sensitive fingers of yours could work miracles.ĥ) Trigger Break: Had two different gunsmiths measure it, because I thought I was doing it wrong. Nothing to complain about.Ĥ) Creep: Non-existant. If anything, I would say just slightly less.ģ) Trigger: a bit of vertical movement in the tunnel, but not sloppy. I think it could be done.Īs far as I know, you will need a 44 Mag bolt for a MkVII to work.Just took possession of a DE1911G earlier this week, here is the range report, with my impressions of the gun.įirst, my initial inspection right out of the box:ġ) Lateral slide play: Less than a typical Mil-Spec 1911 Colt or Springfield.Ģ) Radial slide play: Same as a Mil-Spec. I have considered getting a MkVII 44 barrel and bolt, just to try this. it took a very short amount of time to do this, and could be done a good bit more easily with little risk to integrity of the claw, and still let it slip over a 44 rim too. And yes, I realize the diameter difference is double what I was dealing with, but even what I did was borderline unnecessary. I was able to use a 357 bolt, with only a tiny modification for the extractor, which was material removal on the underside "rest" area of the 357 claw-arm to let it rest lower to catch the smaller diameter of the 10mm rim. There is only about 0.012" difference between a 357 and 10MM Rim. I started converting a 357 Magnum Desert Eagle to 10mm Auto and part of my motivation to do so was because the rim sizes were so close. 41 could be made to work with a 44 bolt because of something I did a while back. ![]() I am pretty sure it would not if stock, but I think. ![]() I have wondered if a 44 bolt would work with 41 though. I don't have a conversion kit, but a 44 Mag rim diameter is about 0.025" larger, and it will not nearly seat in a 41 Bolt. The conversion kits of the day had different bolts as far as I know. Mine is in an 8 digit, starting with 9920xxxx. On mine, the /41 is obviously added, being different strike depth and alignment. If the slide says 44/41, it is earlier, during the conversion period. they can look it up quickly for you in most cases. I would just call Magnum Research and ask them about the serial number. ![]()
