No I did not. I saw that too on the site. My kit isnt new, and has nothing in the manual about changing spring weight and didnt have a spring with it either. I will call AA tomorrow and ask them about the hammer spring and if it needs changed on the kit I have. It says the factory 1911 spring can cause jams, but Im having no jams so far.

It does mention that some manufacturer's plunger springs and/or slide stops can cause issues with slide locking back.....so I will tinker with that

are you sure you dont live in Sugar Tit, SC??? Shootn out the back door!!! LOL!

Thanks for a great report, but how about a real range report from a real range with targets and a jerky range officer!

Looking at the site, I found under the specials tab discontinued commander models for $175 thats $100 off regular price. Thats right up my price range so I grabbed one. Says its a Feb 2010 model and current production has changed a little not sure what hoping like its the FCS!! It might turn out to be a complete pile of junk haha but Im going to brave it.

I was actually thinking about posting that on here lol.....saw them myself when I was figuring if I wanted to buy the one I got. That's a heck of a deal!...but I wanted the 5inch barrel and couldnt walk away from that one with no FCS lol. When you get it, post it on here for we can see what's different on it. Maybe this will turn into a 22 conversion sticky lol.

Did you notice that ALL current models (Target, Standard, and Commander) are backordered? Been that way more at least several monthes......the kit you ordered is the only ones available on their site and may be that way for quite some time

Here's the link to the closeout commander ones if anyone is interested: http://www.advantagearms.com/mm5/mer..._Code=Specials

I did notice that but rereading I forgot to mention that. Im hoping the commander wont bother me tho. I dont go for tight groups mainly paper plates so 1.5" is ok by me. And for almost half off it can have FCS and a huge billboard on the side. haha. Its being shipped to Ca to meet me in my vacation so it will be 2 weeks before I see it, but Ill let you know how it goes
