So do what you enjoy and don't obsess over what others think you should do, unless they are buying your guns and paying your match fees!!! Very nice pistol you're having the guys at LS build for you. Enjoy it to the chagrin of the rest of us!! This. Nice gun OP. Edited May 4, 2017 by d_striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a GANS but I bought it last year off the forum. Changed the mount, optic, Magwell and trigger. just can't figure out the nose dive issue (38 Super/not Comp) and the hammer follows occasionally.

ShortBus Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Did you try opening the fromt of your mags a little? Played with OAL? What hamer spring you running? Maybe too light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe too light? Definitely played with OAL. It's consistent across tuned STI mags and MBX mags. I loaded up some Super Comp and the problem seems to go away. But I need to test it more before i'm sure. I need to swap out the shell plate on my 1050 to load SC more consistently. Hammer spring is the one that came in the gun so i'm not sure.

d_striker Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If it's doing it with relatively new MBX mags, I'd start looking at your extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) I've been told by a knowledgeable person that once your hammer has followed more than 5-10 times, the sear and hooks are probably done or are close to an unsafe condition. If it hasn't followed that much yet, have you tried increasing sear spring tension? Edited May 4, 2017 by d_striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to find someone local to put a new fire control se-up in it if the hammer follow is really a non-reslovable issue. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a matt Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Glenn built me an Open gun early this year and after a little ammo issue (change from a 550 to a 650 and I was making some mistakes) it runs like a champ. It has a very tight and crazy smooth frame to slide fit. Really like Glsnn and his work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Great looking gun. I'm a fan of lsi's work. I have some of his products (mainly safeties) and they are quality gear at reasonable prices. If his builds follow that same ethos they must be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked the LSI site to see what his safeties look like and couldn't find any... Clicked the "Online Store" link and got a blank page... Do you buy them directly from LSI, or somewhere else?

Since he will probably in the shop, leave a voicemail and he will get back with you promptly. I'm running a couple of his safeties. Good choice.

a matt Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Glenn built a friend of mine an open gun for 3 gun competition and it is a great looking and shooting pistol. Glenn went a step farther like he does most of the time and designed the thumb safety to engage unless your thumb is riding the lever. Now when he reholsters or dumps the Pistol for a different gun he has no chance for a stage DQ or worse. Glenn does some awesome work and he has a great head for competition guns..
