I have a couple 1911s, one being a Rock Island that I got a few months ago. 500 rounds through it with an assortment of different mags and no problems. I'd have no problem recommending them.
I installed the spring kit in my SW9VE and like it. It helped the the trigger pull but once in a while I'll get a light strike but that could have been the primers I was using.
I use the Lee (not so) Perfect Powder Measure and I find that if I tap the handle at the top of the stroke and again at the bottom my charges within .1 grain. If you want super accurate loads get a good scale, I like a beam scale like my Hornady and trickle to the load you want. Hornady or RCBS are ...
I think everyone covered the slide operation. I have the same issue and trained myself to use my support hand to actuate the magazine release from a two handed grip.

BigDog: can you post back when you find something. I've also been looking for a big man belt. I used to have a guy that did Ren Fest make them but he has since quit and I can't contact him.
I've seen "gunfighter" style hammers for SA revolvers. Can't remember where but they should be available. ETA: I did a little quick looking and it seems that the super Blackhawk hammer is a drop in for the Vaquero and a little lower. Check Brownells, from what I was able to find out with q...
