I tried to cc my 1911. Didn't really work that great lol. 5" barrel makes it a lil bulky.

Does that work?

CLP is a one step proccess?

Don't forget to run a dry patch through it before you go to fire it, to remove any excess lube, spiders etc.!

not a 5" i am going to carry a compact. i agree that the 5 inch is to muuch for the hip and the hide. thanks

Try "Canned Heat" .45 ACP 185gr Full Metal Jacket 500pk . They make decent ammo, I'm using their "Canned Heat" to break in my Kimber Stainless Target II in 10mm. Put 200 rounds of it through mine so far, not as dirty as some of the other ammo I've used.
