Ok, just went back and watched the video. My Springfield TRP is not a run of the mill 1911. And while it’s not a Wilson Combat or a Les Baer critical components of it ARE hand fitted. I have 400 rounds through the TRP right now and have had ZERO malfunctions. And Glocks do fail, ask the guys who bought early Gen4 Glocks. They had probably Glocks highest ever failure rate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking Glocks. My normal CCW is a Gen4 G23 that has somewhere around 1,000 rounds through it and has never malfunctioned. In fact, I bought it and put 200 rounds downrange before I started carrying it just because of the reported Gen4 problems. Truth is the two stage does make a difference, especially in .40, and after shooting the G23 I went out and bought a Gen4 G22 for IDPA. The G22 has about 500 rounds through it with zero problems. I’ll agree if you’re going to carry a 1911 you need to make damn sure it’s reliable and you can reliably hit your target with it since you don’t have 18 rounds to get it done. Mine is and I can.

I ask because I have a S&W Governor. In their manual, they caution owners of revolvers using Ti, Sc, or PD flavors to run an ammo check which involves loading 6 rounds of an ammo and shooting 5 - checking the 6th round for projectile/case separation.

I did this with some Winchester Super X 45 Colt LRN (X45CP2) and I’ll be damned if the last cartridge hadn’t separated almost 3/32”.

I asked Hornady about his and they told me the best ammo for my Sc framed Governor would be the 185 GR FTX (#92790)....

I have some Winchester PDX1 Defender 45 Colt 225 GR (S45CPDB)which I thought about using and tried to contact Winchester about it but their site is so damned convoluted, I couldn’t find a place to ask...I’ll have to try the S&W test with it I guess..

Edit:

“Truth is the two stage does make a difference”

was supposed to be:

“Truth is the two stage recoil spring does make a difference”
