For govt or commander or both?

Sorry did not specify. Thinking about putting a 13lb wilson flat spring in mine with the shok buff.

Likely the route I'll go for my commander length. Good to know for sure but I didn't anticipate a reason why it wouldn't work

I was hoping it would work as well but never know. EGW also said their safety would work but I could of sworn I had heard they were proprietary for some reason. If regular 1911 safeties do work I am getting an EGW or a Wilson BP ambi wide lever. Unless Stealth Arms gets back to me.

Its shoots good but I am not in love with it. I may sell it and just stick with single stack 1911's. I do like how low the delta point pro sits in the slide though and I like the flat trigger. Its neat and different but does not appeal to me like a single stack 45.

I bet an optic would ride really low on a CZ 75 or similar. That slide is small.
Haven’t seen one on it but I have a 75. Mine’s old but some of the newer CZs may have optic cuts. iDK.
keep blasting away and it may grow on you.

Switched the recoil spring over to a 10lb and ran a couple hundred rounds through it. No malfunctions and shoots nice and smooth. Has several people in the class I was teaching shoot it and love it. My biggest complaint is the two piece guide rod loosening up. Will switch it out to a different set up soon.

How different does it feel with the 10 lb spring?

It sometimes doesn't update. I've been at assembled for two weeks now and it hasn't been test fired. They did respond to my email last week to hold shipment till after the 22nd because I won't be home till after that (I'm about 150 miles from them and am my own FFL so I expect shipping to take a day)

I just received mine last week, at order I had a quoted lead time of 8 weeks, it came in at 9. The order update froze at “parts prepped for paint” and one day I got a shipment email.

Initial impressions are positive, fitment reminds me of the Dan Wessons I have, slide is extremely smooth, no disco drag at all. Trigger is extremely well fit, no movement side to side or up and down at all, I ordered the competition trigger weight and it measures about 2.75 lbs. Barrel has no movement in lockup.

I only ran 4 magazines through it but was very impressed with accuracy and shoot ability, I haven’t printed on paper yet but doubles and triples on steel were very quick and easy to track. I’ll mount the optic on it one of these evenings.

I’ll try and put some pictures up tonight.
