thanks for the info

Thanks everyone for the info you have got me looking into having the slide milled as the best option.

Can anyone direct me a good machine shop that does milling on 1911 slides to install a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro red dot sight. The ones I have contacted seem to only do M&P or Glocks. Thanks

Best to get the conversion barrel. I have a Storm Lake 40 to 9mm conversion and notice no difference in point of impact. The 9 does save me some money on ammo costs.

Go with the flat faced trigger kit.

Looking to install a red dot on my NON CORE M&P 40. Thinking at the Deltapont Pro on a dovetail mount with the optional rear sight. My question does anyone have an idea what height front sight will need to co-witness. Thinking .300 or so should work Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks will look for it and give it a try.

My favorite load is 4.0 to 4.5 WST with Rainer 165gr plated. Yes this is a light load. Great for practice.

Have not . Will give it a try when my LGS gets some in stock. thanks

Some observations from my reloading experience the 40 S/W. After playing around with different powders like Red Dot, WSF, WST, TiteGroup and Bullseye I have found that the powder I like the best for reloading the 40 S/W is WST, second would be TiteGroup and third would be WSF.

Update. Loaded some test loads from 5.2 to 6.2. All function great. Also loaded some up with TiteGroup. Both were a little smoking when shooting lead. Will have to load some jacket bullets up and try them next. Beware this a real fine powder and you have to watch it as you could double charge...

Anyone using WSF to reload the 40 s/w. Would like to try some loads with 170 laser cast lead SWC. Any recommendations.

Thanks will order some plated bullets and give that a try.

45 ACP 200 GR Acme Lead SCW varies from 4 to 4.5 gr powder. 40 S/W 170 Gr Acme & Lasercast lead SWC varies 3.8 to 4.4 gr powder. All light loads.

170 gr Lasercast SWC

Question to the reloaders out there. Have been using Reddot & Bullseye for my 45 ACP reloads and there is no smoke with the loads. But when I load my 40 S/W with Reddot & Bullseye the loads are very smoky. ANy thoughts? Trying to find some Titegroup but there is none to be found. Thanks in advance.

Use it for my 45 acp loads. It's size makes it hard to double charge.

When I carry rotate between 1911 Commander (45) and M&P 40 FS carried in Alien IWB.
