Some 1911 fun.......CAW and Tanio Koba

Some Christmas videos!!!!

These are using the C-Tec mild kick 45 aluminum cartridges.  I am a huge fan of the aluminum cartridges vs. brass.  They fly farther (more realistic I think) on ejection and clean up super easy compared to their brass counterparts.
For both models - the TK and the CAW - I had to shorten the detonator pin by 2.25mm.  Right out of the box, with the standard length det pin they would burst fire.  Shortened them up a touch and both models fired perfectly!!!!

Enjoy!

Perfect

Looks really good
Think I need to try these alu cartridges

C-Tec carts are great, the only problem is availability. I have a good few of the 45's but i dont think you can get them now, picked up some 9mm but not got round to trying them yet.

I think the 9mm mild kick and 45 mild kick cartridges are current production. The "regular" 45 cartridge may be out of production by now and hard to find.

Like Claymore, I picked up a good few of the 45s back when they came out and run them in my CAW M1A1.

I use the 9mm in my M92s and G17s.

The 9mm mild kick cartridge is also the base I use with the Zeke inners when running them in the M92 or G17.

Regarding cleanup, I use an ultrasonic cleaner. For brass carts, I run them through the machine and still follow up with a swab because there is still quite a bit of residue left behind. With the aluminum carts, I run them through the machine and they come out amazingly clean. I still use a swab, but I probably wouldn't have to at all!
