FF112173 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Anyone know what 1911 model Max uses for the base of his 38 super Steel Challenge guns? I know his gunsmith is Dan Bedell but that's about all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottlep Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 He is sponsored by Sig, so I would assume maybe it is a Sig frame and the rest built by Bedell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If I remember correctly he is running a Sig frame. His top end is a 5 inch lightened slide with a 5? port cone comp with a Cmore . He is running 38 Supercomp from Atlanta arms at around 135-140PF. Pretty standard SC gun set up. It is incredible to watch him practice and see what he can do pushing it and then he slows down for the match...LOL DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is just one of those custom deals where there is no base firearm to work off of. Didn't hurt to ask I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougCarden Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 no it certainly doesn't hurt to ask. pretty much everyone that competes seriously at some point in time will have guns customized to their taste.that's why it is fun to try everybody's here and see what you like the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmen Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I don't think he really uses a SIG 1911. I watch the show Hot Shots on the Sportmans channel and they frequently show closeups of his gun. It looks an awful lot like an STI 2011.

DougCarden Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 His USPSA/IPSC gun is an STI. His Steel Challenge gun is a single stack frame, as of last year and since the last SC was in PIRU.....I was there and practiced with him......when I see him in March at the US steel nats I will take a picture. If he changed guns I will update...... DougC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ring Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was watching some of the Hot Shots episodes online and am wondering what guide rod and recoil spring setup Max is using in his Open class guns. It's one of those telescoping arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASE772 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 He told me he's running 115 grain bullets at 1100 fps out of that gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I am 99% sure it's an STI frame marked with Sig's logo. Then Dan Bedell does his magic and comes up with one of his beauties. I actually saw one of Max's guns when I visited Dan's shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc7x7 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Bedell usually sets them up with a SS flgr and a convention 8 lbs Wolff spring. What Max changes spring weight to I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
