Is it safe to rack and fully drop the slide without damaging the 1911 with one of these in the magazine?

yes! it is for training purposes and functions just like a live round, only no loud bang and a projectile leaving the barrel.

I have run these through manually a couple of times to see the cycling of the slide. Also, it is okay to pull the trigger.

Yes. Snap caps have the same fit and form as live ammo but are obviously inert. Where the primer would be is instead a piece of rubber to pad the firing pin impact. A properly functioning pistol will load the snap cap from the magazine to the chamber when the slide is racked.

My 1911 is a full size Sig Sauer Spartan edition, and one can hear a scrachy noise that it appears to come from the barrel, when the slide is being pulled back and also when the slide its released from that position. For that reason I decide to stop the use of the compensator. Too bad because on my opinion it looks terrific with it.

If it's a full size 1911 then yes. If you have an ambidextrous safety you may need to trim the top portion of the right side grip, it's easy to do.

Not on my Kimber Custom Carry II. My slide will go at least 3/16 inch past the slide stop. Most 1911s are the same general configuration. Take a chance!

I installed my Houge grip on a Metro Arms American Classic 2 1911. This model has over size safety and slide release for more comfortable deployment of the safety on/off and releasing of the slide when loading. I must remove my grip before the slide release/take down pin, can be easily be removed. Unless your model 1911 has an oversized release/pin, then I think you will have no issues. This grip is fantastic to shoot with, and you will love it too.

No, but should work fine. It can be removed from the Magnet if you fasten the magnet securely to whatever. So strong that it pulls the model 1911 .45 right out of my hand when you get close to it.

I can't really say that it is safe but we did when we were at the range and nothing bad happened. Just make sure to wear eye protection because we could see the 9mm fragmentation spray out from the target when we uses some of the home protection hollow points and etc. The FMJs we did not see anything like that or on the .40 cal FMJs since that is all we have for the .40s. It did not hurt the target at all though. It was fun to rapid fire from the pistols and get a bunch of 'pings' in a row.

No. You place the "lazer bullet" into the opened port. Then rack the slide with each shot. The bullet stays in place until done. To remove use a pencil or similar. Lots of fun and helps accuracy .

Shouldn't have any problems. They also make picatinny to weaver converter rails if things don't work out.

There is a tray that holds the slides securely, so as long as you place the slides in the tray carefully you won't have any damage.

No, Kathleen, your slides won't be damaged in any way and this scanner does a good job. I was real satisfied with the negatives I scanned also and glad I ordered the negative carriers when I ordered the slide carriers.

I read somewhere if mag does drop or you release it you have to clear the loaded round or it rolls back in the slide jams and releases gas. Pull slide back and shake out jammed round. I don't own one just thought Id mention that.

Yes just try not to overload the slide. The weight capacity is for.normal verticle position

Yes there is a safety slide in the side of the gun. You can actually slide off/on with your finger while in the shooting position (one handed). If you look at the last picture you will see a white dot just above the trigger - that is where the safety is located.

Hold the slide or rail all the way back then drop in the laser sight. Same process to remove it.

I was able to slide an extra magazine below the pistol , between the pieces of foam. There isn't a "designated" magazine location.

The only way I can answer if the slide stays open when emptied is that some do and some don't. The manufacturer doesn't make it very clear as to which guns do or don't
