In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel dives deep into the ongoing saga of his Springfield Range Officer 1911 in 9mm — a gun he wanted to love, but that had other plans.
From out-of-the-box disappointment to DIY tuning trials, it’s been a long road of spring swaps, trigger jobs, grip mods, and match-day letdowns. But through the frustration came hard-earned lessons in setting up a single stack gun for USPSA the right way… and sometimes the wrong way first.
Daniel shares everything — the tech specs, the problems, the fixes, the mental game, and what finally (maybe) made this gun run right. If you’ve ever had a gun fight you every step of the way, this one’s for you.
📦 Plus:
- Why he chose 9mm over .45 ACP
- The truth about power factor in Single Stack division
- Moving the reloading bench and what it means for future projects
