ProTsc-1911 - Hands On

[Westcountry Tony]

this my first incarnation of a mount, shapes not quite right and messed up the bottom of the grip part, but most important is to see if it works and if I can shoot any better than with the open sights, which wont be hard

if it works, then will make a new one and have a fancy anodising job done on it.

Nice idea but will there be a problem with shells bouncing back in and jamming ?

[Westcountry Tony]

No worries about that. The back edge of the bracket is well in front of the chamber edge.

Put a few rounds thru it with bracket in place and no problems.

Will go out and zero/test friday. Shooting this weekend at bisley with it. So thats a good test.

Been trying to find a make of subs that will cycle reliably in mine but no luck to date! Has anybody found some that work well?

Same as i feed all my 22 semis
sk standard plus.

Been using up the last of my rws target and that runs fine too. Come to think of it i cant think of an ammo that doesnt cycle it.

My slide slams forward with far more gusto than my mates. His sort of glides forward more softly. Whereas mines fast forward and makes a satisfying clunk.

His cycles fine too but is strange how they are so different.

Hi Ian

I still get the odd one that does not fire but so far the CCI mini mags are best in mine. Mind you it was a lot worse until I removed the slide and smothed the slide with some fine wet and dry and a very light smear of grease on a finger. I think they are all different, just keep trying. I assume you have tried the Gecos in rifle and pistol versions.

Mine eats cci standard all day long, only issue I sometimes get is a failure to feed the.first round if I use the slide release. The round flips up vertically rather than chambering.

I have used CCI and Remington sub-sonics and both have the occasional failure to feed. I normally use Geko or Remington standards and it runs all day long on them. I was hoping that somebody from here was feeding theirs on sub-sonics and could recommend another brand of sub-sonics to try.

SK standard plus, not cheap at about £75 per 1000, but a VERY good round.
