Feegee Dean Matlock Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Got it last Tuesday. Shot about 400 rounds out of it total now, and the only problem was one case hit the scope mount and got stuck, and that only happened with one of the new STI mags that it came with. When I got my Matchmaster a while back it would run fine with the MBX mags, but as soon as I put one of the STI mags in the gun it would have the failure to extract issue. I guess they need to be tuned. I also noticed a keyhole pattern on the primers, and it looks like the firing pin is protruding out of the breach face a little bit. So I had a extra brand new STI titanium firing pin that I keep in my emergency kit. I looked at them side by side, and the look totally different. I put the extra one I had in the gun and it did not like it at all!! Would not set off some primers, and also slide would not go into battery sometimes put the one that come with the gun back in and shot another 120 rounds and not one problem ran like a champ. I don't know if they are using a new type or not? I am going to call them Monday and ask. I will post pics of them side by side later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always hit the scope and it goes back to the ejection port and jams. Change your mount to a 90 deg side mount, that will solve the jamsSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main question and concern is with the firing pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckonz Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Getting my DVC Ltd to fit the IPSC Box: I shoot IPSC Standard division, which requires the pistol to fit the IPSC box. I am using STI 126mm Mag tubes, Grams Springs & Followers with SVI +2 IPSC Base pads. The pistol, with a msg inserted doesn't fit the IPSC Box by about 1mm. A bit much to think about taking material off the base pads to make the pistol fit. I think my best bet is to replace my rear sight with something low profile. But before I do anything, I thought I'd see what other DVC Ltd owners have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 just making sure, but have you tried winding the rear sight all the way down? that is allowable to fit it into the box. I'm sure you've tried that, but just checking. sometimes it can be the difference between fitting or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a quick video at 171pfhttps://vimeo.com/180682916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hello: I would try a different base pad like the Dawson or Double Tap ones. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric I've come to the same conclusion. Just ordered a single Dawson Precision and a single Double Alpha base pad to see how they go.

FlashAndPoof Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thinking of getting a 9mm DVC Limited. Even though it'll be for 3 Gun, I think I'll be going with the Limited over their 3 Gun version. What holster options are you guys using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
