I don’t have a jack screw. :)
Old school. Drift the sight left or right. Would be a lot easier if it was adjustable. But the gun wouldn’t have been $349.99 if it had that feature. No sign of a lock screw from the bottom. I think they legitimately did it close to spec for the 1911A1. I will pull the slide and double check, but I don’t think they could even do that and retain all of the 1911 design.
Actually, 2 inches at 22 yards isn’t bad really. Trigger is crisp but higher weight than I’m used to. It has a good break.
I’ll give that other hand trick a try. Could be the heavier trigger has me pulling a little though I did a lot of making sure that I’m not doing it. Doesn’t mean I’m not though.
Interestingly, when I pulled out my Colt Government, it was delightful. I worked the trigger on that one with some polishing, though it was good out of the box anyway. I have the proper stones and jigs for doing the sear, but in this case, I just polished with a fine ceramic stone, to remove any uneven surfaces, taking care to not change any angles.
I have to mention that I do enjoy tinkering with things of this nature.
I also should mention that I incorrectly reassembled the trigger mechanism on an AR-15 many years ago, which resulted in it firing 1 shot, and then refusing to fire again. A learning experience - LOL.
Anyway, I’ll be toying with this one for a while. It seems to be of very high quality, given the price, just lacking the high-end finish and features. If it works with standard 1911 parts, it could easily be turned into a really nice shooter.
Soooo——you had a one-shot AR-15? Here we call that a “Bidum gun.”
But write this down. It’s the simple test we always do when working/trading/building semi autos. I regularly get “fiddled with” auto loaders so this check will keep a Smokie or Feebie off your case.
Check it clear.
Safety off.
Pull the trigger to dry fire and HOLD the trigger back.
Keep the trigger back.
Cycle the action to recock.
Listen/watch for the hammer to fall when closing the breech.
There must be no hammer drop.
Turn loose of the trigger to reset the sear.
Pull the trigger again and check for hammer fall.
If the hammer does not fall when closing the breech you’re good to go with a proper semi auto action.
I regularly see guns (AR’s) where the cowboy who had/has it has filed off the safety lug on the sear to try to go auto. But the action loses its rate control so they tend to jam after 3 rounds. I usually charge 50 bucks plus parts to fix that cute little foobar.
