This is my Brownells magna screwdriver kit. A really handy set when working on fine handguns, Ive grinded one down specifically for the bomar sight, and also one for the mag release.
This is my trigger stirrup die. Its supposed to shape trigger bows but I dont use it often. Most of the better triggers (Videki or Dlask) come ready to install, excluding the fact that the shoe is usually slightly too tall.
These are the stones I use for my trigger jobs. They are used to polish the primary and secondary angle of a sear, polish the disconnector and the hammer. I also use them to polish the bottom side of the rails on the slide and the disconnector track on the slide. The top one is a medium india stone and the other two are ceramic stones. The white one is X-fine and the black is M-fine.
This is my lug iron sander, it is used to polish the machining marks out of the top of the two slide locking lugs on a slide.
These are my various padded vise jaws. the blue ones are Super-Hold vise jaw pads from brownells and are worth having, I use them daily.
These small handheld reamers will save the day when you get in a new match barrel and you can not get in the link pin. These open up the hole for the link pin there are two sizes available.
This is the tool I use when I want to crown a barrel. I have used it to crown normal size barrels and bull barrels.
These are my chamber reamers. One is for 45ACP and the other is for 40Cal. I use these when I fit match barrels, some come shortchambered.
This is my Rcbs trigger pull gauge, its a nice unit for the money and I use it all the time to check my work when finishing up a trigger job.
This is my cordless dremel tool that I use to polish the feedramp of the frame and to blend magwells to the frames. Its about worn out now from too much use and am thinking of getting a Foredom tool next.
My other Dremel tool, Its about worn out also and overheats when I use it for more than several minutes. Will replace it with a Foredom style tool.
This is my assortment of sandpaper rolls and cratex bits for my Dremel tool.
These are more bits for my Dremel tool.
These are my diamond burs, they work great and are what I use to bevel the inside of the plunger tube holes in the frame and also the inside of the front sight before I stake one.
This is my chinese vise, its massive and heavy but works well. It will swivel 360 degrees and has a huge anvil to hammer things on. I also use the homemade aluminum 1 inch inserts you see in the jaws and on top of that are brownells Superhold Vise jaw pads. These are the best vise jaw inserts around bar none. If you do not own these get a pair I have had these over 5 years and they will not wear out and grip a 1911 slide without marring it when dehorning or knocking out or in sights.
