Re: small 1911s
I really like my Colt Defender, even though I've had problems with it. It was fine for the first 500 or 1000 rounds, and then it started to eject brass straight back into my forehead. Very painful. If it didn't hold a lot of sentimental value to me, I'd sell it in a second. My 5" Nighthawk Talon, by contrast is flawless.
I've had the Defender at the gunsmith's twice, and still haven't resolved the problem. We've tried tuning and replacing the ejector, along with a couple other tweaks. I'm going to give it one more try myself.
If that doesn't fix it, I'm calling Cylinder & Slide, or Evolution Gun Works and telling them that I want a 4.25" Caspian upper fitted to the Defender lower.
