The model M-25 classic will need a taller front sight when shooting with 250 gr loads. That's what I did on mine.

I have a 25-15 and it shot high too. 6-8 inches high at 50 ft using 250 gr LSWC, 8-8.5 gr Unique. My understanding is this model is sighted at the factory using 185 gr bullets. The only solution for me is to install (by myself) a Dawson front sight that is taller. The sight doesn't come...

Hello Guys, I'm planning on sending my 1911 to Karl for a a Kart match barrel fitting. He said he can put this type of work through in a month in between his full builds. 1. Just would like to know your experiences with his current work. I noticed the boards have been quiet regarding his...

I have one if the newer classic ones too and the throats measured .453". Yes they will shoot high with 255 grain lead bullets. So I installed a taller front sight from egw. I had to drill the site base in order to install.

Your observation is a know fact with the m25. Fortune cookie 45lc has discussed this in his YouTube channel. Keep those 454 casull ammo as far as possible to prevent a mixup.

Test the fp block by pointing the barrel upwards. Insert pencil with eraser into the chamber. Pull trigger. Pencil should fly out.

I have several thousands of magtech spp that I purchased at least a decade ago. Just started using them. They are as soft as Federals and go bang every time.
