jhguns Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 FYI: picked up a DVC limited 40 yesterday and just shot the first match today. Bunch of failure to feeds with Atlanta Arms .40 (short) reman ammo. Mooched some long loaded .40 ammo from some buddies and then it ran fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mainly had FTE stove pipe issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustint21 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hey guys. I know there are open guns being hard chromed now. There is usually a 2-3 week turn around. Im not sure when they went out. I will try to get more info today. For those of you who are having issues with the lighter loads these guns are fit and then hard chromed. They will be a little tight at first. After a few hundred rounds they should start to eat the lighter stuff up no problem. If you for some reason are still having an issue contact us and we will do whatever we can to help. My fist hard chromed STI was a steelmaster and I ran 600 rounds through it before it was 100% It was frustrating but worth it in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 as always Dustin, thanks for your updates! So at this point, what's a reasonable expectation for the next (or I guess first) batch of Open guns being shipped - 1 month, 2 months? I think putting that out there will get rid of most of the daily requests for updates. thanks again, can't wait for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one of the gun smiths has 4 at his bench as wee speak.They should go out within the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernelofwisdom Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Like a lot of people I'm waiting for the S.S. DVC Open to sail into port. I'd rather it be right than fast. Great for STI to have so much interest in the product and I'm sure it will be great. Thanks Dustin for the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhguns Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi Dustin, Do you know what are the weights of the recoil and main spring on the limited 40? They feel very heavy. Everyone that have handled the gun also remarked how heavy it's sprung. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93notch Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I would love to get my hands on a limited 9mm so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyD1833 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ran about 400 rounds through my Limited 9mm today, 115 and 124 from Freedom Munitions. I had not one single malfunction. This gun is so flat and soft it is like cheating, the trigger is light and short, I just wish it had a little "crisper" break. All in all, I am extremely happy with my first 2011!

aaron410 Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The first 350 rounds through my .40 limited yeasterday. Similar issues that others are having in that I had several FTFs throughout the session. However, like Dustin said, They were significantly better towards the end of the session. I went from having 4-5 per magazine at the beginning of the day to one or two complete magazines fired between FTFs. Looking forward to getting some more work with her this weekend and trying to clear out the rest of the break-in bugs. Dustin, If I have any more issues, I'll give you guys a call but I'm sure that it won't end up being an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 thanks again for the info. do you have any visibility on these between 9mm and 38 super? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tap Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 OPEN Update - I am first on the list at #1 dealer.... Just spoke with STI.... No 38 Super guns sent out this week. No information related to next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYgunner Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Funny story; I was on a wait-list for a DVC Limited 40 and was told that it might be up to a year before I received it. Apparently, I was so far down the list that the representative wasn't even sure how many people were in front of me. Because I need a back-up gun for this year's shooting season, I decided that I was going to buy another Edge and modify it. Out of the clear blue sky, I received a text from a friend telling me that I would never guess what he received at his store/range. Sure enough, they received a DVC 40. I bought it yesterday and I am now a proud owner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glk21C Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 There has to be a crack I am not seeing? What I am seeing is the horizontal line in the picture starting at the grip safety and going down towards the magwell. That is not a crack, it's the poly main spring housing, it is a separate part of the grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jargon51 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 yep looks like main spring housing to me as well. Is there another line on the other side of the grip in the same spot as that line? If so then it's definitely the MSH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
