I have an older (2009) 1911 45 acp micro compact that shoots very low and to the left. half of the front sight is above the rear sight box to be on target. The pic attached shows the slide to barrel geometry pointing the barrel down. Is there a taller rear sight to correct this? What is the dovetail cut called for this pistol? Any ideas?

Have you called SA customer service? Every time I've called they've been very responsive and helpful, and if they can't get you an answer right away, they'll get back to you.

Are you the original owner and is the gun under lifetime warranty? If so, you may be able to send it in to have SA check it out and correct any issues with it. If not, they may still be able to advise you what to do.

I found a taller rear sight, installed and ready for some range time.

It's a GI sight.

I just purchased A Saint Edge in 5.56 and have some 223 REM-62 grain Speer Gold Dot and wanted to make sure it was ok to shoot for my home defense rounds?

.223 should have no issues firing out of your rifle. You may want to try it at the range to check for proper cycling.

As for a defensive use, I advise you check into you're local laws regarding self defense with a firearm to avoid legal complications.

I own a Springfield saint edge and saint victor both 16" looking in to getting the best suppressor information possible. does the suppressor thread directly onto the barrel?

Direct thread is where the suppressor theads directly to the barrel and a QD mount replaces your rifles muzzle device with a proprietary muzzle device that the suppressor threads and locks to much quicker than the direct thread option.

A typical American made 5.56 rifle should have a thread pitch of 1/2x28. A typical American made .30 cal rifle such as .308 or .300BLK will have a thread pitch of 5/8x24.

I carry an EMP4 CCC and would like to put an optic on it but it will need to have the slide milled to prep for it. Has anybody done this with one? If you have, do you have any advice for me? I also have a P365XL with a shake and wake Romeo that I carry and would really like to put a Holosun 507C on my EMP.

9mm has come a long way over the past several years. Some are just as effective as 45acp, and cheaper. Wilson Combat has some good videos on that subject.

I still carry a 1911 in 45ACP about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I carry a 1911 in 9mm. I can realte to an older body having a more challenging time handling a 45ACP recoil.

Just joined up. Longtime springfield lover here. You really can't beat any of their lineups. Just picked up the xdm elite precision 9mm and I've got to say, everything I wished my old xd40 had on it came standard. Upgraded trigger, awesome adjustable irons, and a super accurate match barrel. I have been wondering though what's my break In period on this guy.

I have the XDM Elite Tactical and can honestly say I haven't had any issues or concerns right out of the box, since day 1. Perhaps the smoothness of the overall operation may get a little better after taking to the range a few times, but nothing to be concerned about.

can you recommend a co-witness red dot for the XD-M Elite tactical?? I am joining the red dot crowd due to "senior" eyesight

Feel for you bro…I’m 70. I’m a retired nurse and know something about nutritional needs at our age 🤨. Anyway; get yourself some organic vitamin B complex, and good organic multivitamin. Then research Nutritional yeast…helps with joint pain and mobility. Hope this helps..works for me!

Hello, I'm new here, but have owned several Springfield semi-auto handguns. I currently have the new 10mm XDM model and a gunsmith is updating the sights to tritium with problems installing the front sight. The sights are from Ameriglo # 741.

Welcome. I’d love the XDM 10 for my walks in gator country. Right now, I have my dad’s old XDM 40 packing some hot fmj’s, so I’m not in dire need. But who doesn’t want a new gun?!

Appreciate the heads up. He has target models. I am not really interested in that big obnoxious rear sight they put on those. You can't change them out because they milled the slide to fit the sight.

New member. Would like to put glass on socom, any possibility or practicality to mount a cantilever w 3” offset to bring a vortex 1-6 or 1-8 from the forward scout picatinny rail to the rear? Thank you.

2nd.. you may want to post this on the main forum…

To answer:
You can but its an awkward mount. Can also reverse a cantilever by reversing it and screws, but may be a non natural fit.

Also, i run a very nice 1x6 Vortex and it seems a little to “less” magnification than I would want on an M1A.
I prefer the higher power on the reach out and touch M1A

I have a scout squad I am dressing up. Long eye relief scopes are a different breed. Looking for ideas. I hope the rings are the proper height.
