The Crystallume does a TiCN finish that is copper colored. Just call them and speak with Nick Molnar and say Jeremy sent you.

There will be no buck shot. Estimated round count will be 250 pistol, 250 rifle, and 120 bird shot for the individual match. The team match will need about that same amount more, but for the entire team.

There are no updates as of now. It is still on September 23-25, 2016. We will finish and have award ceremony early (1/2 day of shooting) on Sunday to give everyone travelling home time. This year is still planned for pistol, rifle, and shotgun with two different divisions; Patrol (duty guns and equipment only) and Practical (basically Tac-Ops or Tactical, no Open/Unlimited guns). This match is the week after the 3GN Western Regional Championship so the shooting areas will be similar but completely different targets and placement. We will look forward to your team coming! The Individual match will be fun, but it is the Team match that I am most excited for! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Solution: The fps from my 9mm Tactical wouldn't fit very easily into the Brazos extractor fps channel, it would bind up on the top portion. This would make the Brazos extractor clock as it was pushed into place. The fps from my Sti Tactical in .40 would fit the Brazos extractor without binding. I swapped the 40 and 9 fps fps. They both went in smooth and didn't bind up. I had to add some bend into the Brazos extractor, it didn't have enough bite on the brass rim. I did a test fire of over 100 round (shooting strong hand, weak hand, and even some intentional limp wrist) and didn't have any malfunctions. I ran some duty rounds through it and it also ran flawless. I believe the problem is solved! Thank you all for the help and input!

That is a possibility, the extractor didn't look perfectly flush as it normally does on the rear of the gun. I reused the old FPS. I will reinstall the extractor and see if it will sit more square/flush. How often do you replace the FPS?

There is always a mark where the extractor partially pulled the brass out of the chamber and slide off. I bought a Aftec and see if that will fix the problem. The fired brass was easily removed from the chamber either by hand or racking the gun again with the magazine removed. The ejector looks un-damaged (I think), I'll take a picture of it.

All of my loads are case gauged and I don't case gauge factory ammo. Neither of the ammo has had any problems in other guns. That is a good idea about the oversized extractor tunnel, I didn't consider that. I sure hope that isn't the problem. I just ordered an Aftec extractor to see if that fixes the problem. It might just be that the extractors are better tuned for .40 or something. I called STI today and left a message, no one called me back yet. I need it fixed so I can get this Glock off my hip...

I just ordered a Weigand 1911 extractor adjusting tool and plan on calling STI tomorrow. I have several 2011's so I better plan on learning to tune my extractors. I have never had a problem with any of my Limited guns before.

I have a STI Tactical 2011 5" in 9mm. It has run like a champ since I bought it. It is my duty weapon and I use it for steel/multigun matches. The gun has about 3k rounds through it. It began double feeding a couple hundred rounds ago (about one week). This double feed is where the fired brass will get partially extracted (about 1/2 cm) out of the barrel and the next round in the mag will push up against the un-extracted brass (pushing up against it more than driving it in). This happens with MBX and STI mags. This happened with a 9lbs and 11lbs recoil spring. In the beginning it would do this malfunction about every 50 rounds or so. Now it does it about every fifth round or more. This happens with factory new and reloaded ammo. I replaced the extractor with a Brazos tuned extractor and the problem still occurs. Help! Attached are some pictures of what the malfunction looks like.

Eric is not joking, he will give you young bucks a run for your money! Thanks for the post, Eric!

The rules will be basically identical to the UPOA Multigun Championship. I can email you the ruleset if you are interested. Just send me a pm with your email. Patrol Division will be like Donny Brooks stated; pump shotgun and must be loaded from a side saddle/butt cuff. Shotgun can only start with 5+1 and no stage will require more than 12 shells (6 in the gun and 6 on the saddle). One aiming optic per rifle (scope, red dot, or red dot/magnifier combo are acceptable). You must use a retention holster and belt used for duty (SWAT rigs are accepted). Pistol must be on the USPSA production legal list, but doesn't need to conform with Production rules. No magwells or extended base pads on pistol. The intent is for the Patrol Division participants will compete with exactly the same gear they use for duty/patrol. Practical Divison is competition gear and guns. It is basically identical to 3gn Practical or USPSA Tactical. The only difference is the Practical shotgun must start with 5+1, to keep the stages layout reasonable with Patrol Divison.

Here is the flyer for the match. TPCLEOcust.pdf

It is open to retired or active LEO.

There should be a decent amount of pro LEO shooters there. I know Greg Severson, Craig Outzen, Keith Garcia, Nick Atkinson, Greg Jordan, and J.J. Racaza have expressed interest in attending. The DoubleTap Ammunition Law Enforcement Team will be there to give you a run for your money! It is Beau Mason, Rob Wilkenson, Devin Lauritzen, and I. All of the team members have to be the same division or they are bumped to the highest division. Example: 4 Patrol shooters= Patrol 4 Practical shooters= Practical 3 Patrol and 1 Practical shooters= Practical Teams are 3-5 member teams. There will be awards for teams with all of the members of the same agency and awards for mixed teams (my agency is too small to have a team so I shoot with the DoubleTap team). P.S. It was great seeing you at the Utah Peace Officer Association Multigun Championship! Great job on the finish!

Here is the website for this match. There are links to register for the individual and team match. https://magazine.tacticalperformancecenter.com/2016/01/08/tpcleomultigun/ The price for the individual match is $100 per shooter. The price for the team match is $100 per team (3-5 man teams). I will be at Shot Show in Las Vegas next week. Let me know if you are going to be there and I will meet up, give you some flyers, and get you more details about the match.
