Officer double stack with bull barrel. single stack grip size.12+1

I saw a review of one of these a while ago. Very interesting. I kind of want one. Let us know how she shoots.

Please post a review of the pistol.  Great to meet you.

 

Rick.

Same here Rick, Nice talking to you!

Similar to a BUL M5 I owned a few years ago, then Kimber made a double stack poly that had a bad frame if I remember back that far. This one seems pretty well made. Too bad it only came with one mag.

I really like this gun. What's the review on it? Tons of recoil from the shorter barrel? Also if you don't mind me asking what did she run you? I'm really on a budget but have one last permit

roughly 650 out the door from OMG guns. dealer here. ask him if he has any more. I think so!

Here is the review! In a word POS . Loaded mag, aimed and fired, Nice healthy kick, then nothing. Paddle safety engages after one round. Could not get it to go past firing one round then the engage! Would NOT disengage. Had to clear to disengage! Large POS!. Looking to return this POS!!!

So u don't recommend it?

That's disappointing. I was really looking into getting one of these.

I never had a problem like this! What a POS! Sending ATI an email now.

Good luck. Hope they either fix it for you or offer a refund eeven though you would have to go get another permit lol

Still have 5 in safe, but hate to lose one on this.

ATI is sending a mailer for return. So far so good.

Good luck.

Keep us posted. Wanna see how good there CS is

So far heard NOTHING from ATI or more important, Never got any assistance from dealer!

That sucks Dave, sorry to hear. I hope they take care of you.

I assume you spoke to Rick about this. I cant see him letting you hang. If anything he may have forgotten. He is very busy and forgets sometimes

Talked to Chris and left a message for Rick. Surprised no return call. I always return my call.

Well, Was told to call this am, did @ 10:36, That is am right? Left another message, NO RETURN CALL! AGAIN. I have a 665.00 dollar Paperweight! I am sorry-single-shot-semi!

Don't take this the wrong way, but how experienced are you 1911 type guns? Is it possible you are bumping the safety? The correct grip is with your thumb on the safety so I'm not sure how the safety would engage, unless I misunderstand you.

First thing I checked was a bump. Visually watched the slide action when I fired! I was in the pits @ CJ. fired, slide recoiled and safety snicked up into safe position. Never heard or saw this. After first time went with a low grip depressing grip safety to watch.

So I'll ask again, how experienced are you with the 1911 platform? 

 

You are shooting a fairly heavy recoiling, short barrel .45. That has a lot of inertia and depending on your grip and how much you are controlling the recoil you might end up with some of the energy and impulse moving the safety, 

 

The reason I assume you are not that familiar with the 1911 platform is because the correct grip leaves your strong hand thumb on the safety, almost like a shelf for your thumb. If your thumb is there there is no way the safety can move. 

 

So given that you are not holding the gun correctly (or the safety couldn't move) I wonder if are also inducing a bit of limp wristing. 

Blasting-away at a forum vendor in public isn't very helpful either.............

Safety is a rest for the thumb, Safety should NOT push up on recoil, Should not have to push down on safety to hold it in place. And I am NOT blasting away at a forum vender. If you buy an item for 670 and it malfunctions you return to store for a refund or a new item. In this case could not do that. I called with a problem,2X and had to resolve with factory. I did not start blasting away. When I ran my business a customer with a problem took priority! You don't ignore people that buy from you.

And by the way this is about my 35 th 1911. I am very sure of my grip and I am sure I did not limp wrist. What would a limp wrist have to do with the safety clicking up?

Any updates?

Ok, lets start from the beginning. Do you shoot with the thumb on the safety? If yes then how is it moving up, is it pushing your thumb up? I have a hard time figuring out how exactly that could happen. 

 

When you flick the safety on and off is there a distinct click and resistance from the detent spring? 

 

And by the way this is about my 35 th 1911. I am very sure of my grip and I am sure I did not limp wrist. What would a limp wrist have to do with the safety clicking up?

 

Because limp wristing allows the gun to move backwards while more vertical then it should be thus transferring inertia to the safety. In fact how the heck else would the safety move anyway?

 

There are only two ways I can think of for the safety to move. Either you are bumping it up (and not riding the safety with your thumb as you should) or you are limp wristing and what should be a mostly front to rear recoil impulse becomes at least partially a bottom towards the top impulse transfer which flicks the safety. 

I hope you get this worked out. By the way i feel inadequate now that you said you have 35 1911's. I have some catching up to do
