Do you have the original stock and handguard?

Outpost Armory in Franklin has some now I believe.

I carried a Kimber Ultra for 3 years, and recently one ended up back into my edc, so, as far as compact 1911s they're a great option, minus the lacking mag capacity, but if you're looking to save money on a 1911, find a RIA compact 1911, every RIA I've owned has been a solid shooter and a great platform to do minor gunsmith work on.

There's plenty of places to buy small parts, Nashville Armory, Royal Range, Kings Firearms, Glock Store, Outpost Armory, Bass pro, etc.

I also use a impact puller, kinda nerve wrecking the first few times you use one.

Might try replacing extractor spring, or the actual extractor. Does it jam if you're trying to lock a round in slowly? Or while just racking through those first four rounds without firing? Do you notice any gouging on the case rims of extracted cases?

Check out @Uno514's post

I have been using a RCBS lube pad with Hornady Unique case lube for 15 years.

Try Holster Maker, they tend to pick up discontinued products.

Check out Echo 3 in Chapel Hill, he might be able to.

Shoot me a pic if you still have my number?

I've owned a 605, 605 polymer, a tracker, all .357, and I've loved them all. Granted, I don't recommend shooting hot loaded .357 magnum out of the 605 polymer unless you have some strong wrists and hands, but the 605 poly was a great backup edc, kept one in an ankle rig for a couple of years with Hornady Critical defense .357 mag. The metal 605 is a nice backpacking carry, and I've used my tracker for a trail gun when I use to ride horses. Note: D/A pull on the 605 isn't the smoothest until you run about a 700 pulls, so some snap caps and dry fire drills are a want, just to help break in the trigger without having to go through ammo, or causing harm to the firing pin. S/A they're decent.
