TeedOff Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ye iam looking at a CK arms for my first 9mm open gun, now iam just trying to get the cash together. I just got mine this week. I'm really happy with the fit and finish. Locks up super tight, as in really friggin' tight! I am really liking the steel grip. Adds some weight and is very sharp/grippy.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFEMT Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Do you have any issues running 9 major. I keep getting talked out of a 38sc build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelix Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 I run 38sc, it's just more for the brass, but I get most of mine back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The powder selection these days really make running 9 major not an issue. If you can load the ammo long it does make feeding a lot more reliable. I do think as 38sc is rimless you'll have less chances of binding. depending on the region you are in, there seems to be more of a following on certain calibers. We shoot a lot of 9 major here in the midwest. South West / East seems to favor 38sc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolex Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Just wondering what you can run for OAL? I hear CK chambers are short?? Can you confirm your oal please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelix Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 My chamber is not short at all, OAL 1.235 PD 124 JHP, and I plunked some PD 124 FMJ at 1.265. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeedOff Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Ok, so I reached out to Matt Cheely directly regarding the short chamber on my gun. He responded to my email within 5 minutes. He said to ship the barrel, a dummy round and 10 bucks and he would take care of it next day. Fantastic service!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatjoe123111 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Almost got a used ck 9 major from a forum member. Now I'm looking at ordering one from ck with blacked out everything and the PVD finish. Is yours still running great? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeedOff Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I’ve had mine since may. Its running perfectly, about 4K rounds down range. The only issues I’ve had outside of initial problems with comp alignment and throating have been ammo related. Once I got my load and loading process dialled in the gun has ran great.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's good to hear. I was thinking about getting a custom gun built but this will be my first open gun so I'm thinking ck would be a better option. Plus then I'll have all winter to work up loads and practice before next season of shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeedOff Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That was my plan this time last year. I could never get the DVC open gun to run right so I made it my backup and got the CK as my primary. All has been good with the CK...even took a couple of class wins at level 2 matches with it.
