USASkeet, Nice job opening up the port. Did you consider cutting off some of the Dave's Metal Works easy loader? I cut some of mine off to give more clearance for the lead shotshell on a load 2. The lead shell would sometimes hit the top edge (when the shotgun is flipped over) of the port opening into the magazine.

I shoot mostly club level 3-gun matches, and the Remington 1100 is great for that. If I was not able to open up the loading port to do dual/quad loads on the 1100, I'd probably would be shooting a Stoeger 3000, Mossberg JM Pro, or Beretta 1301 competition. Another thing I did is open up the two gas ports in the barrel with a drill bit to allow more gas to cycle the action. I clean the barrel, gas ports, and action bar after every practice or match for this gun does not run well while dirty. I also carry extra gas O rings. With all this, my 1100 does shoot Remington reduced recoil slugs and Wal-mart sold ammo with no issues.

Cool, that is very helpful. I actually ordered an extra Remington pin as I had heard the roll pin sucks. On the pin: do I just grind/file it flush? I have it hanging just out a bit. I guess by filing it it leaves a little "gall" (not sure if correct term) to keep it from coming out? I am leaning towards shortening the EL a bit, too. I have my pin hanging out just a little bit. There was a sharp edge on the pin, so I filed it down just a tad. I have never heard of the pin backing out on any Remington 1100's, but you never know.

I used a Dremel tool with sanding drum attachment to take off some of the metal on the sides and front of the loading port. I took it down as close as I can to the interceptor and feed latches. I also had to open up the feed tube just a little bit. I then sand smooth the exposed metal of the loading port and polished the metal with the Dremel tool. I cut the Easy loader and rounded out the fingers so I don't get my fingers pinched. BTW, the roll pin that Dave's Metal Works supplies with the Easyloader broke on me. So, I had to re-use the stock pin from Remington and never had that problem since.

These are ready out of the box Western Arms SV Infinity gas blow back pistols. The Infinity with the Schuemann comp is the cheapest way (in my opinion) to an open pistol. The Infinity Expert is my Limited pistol. Both have the stock ABS slides and run on duster gas. I use the Falcon duster gas that you can purchase at any office supply store or Costco.

Hey Flyin40, Thanks so much for stepping forward and setting up these postal matches. How about postal matches using long guns or is that way too complicated since there are AEG and then gas powered rifles, etc? I use a Classic Army M15A4 as a long gun trainer.

Hey, we should get more of the members from AAPS to sign up! Flyin, forgive me for asking, but are you using AAPS targets or IPSC targets? Also, any idea on how to build a makeshift wall? I was thinking of standing up a long folding table, but I only have one.

In the ICORE rulebook, it states that: SECTION 5 EQUIPMENT 1. All firearms used in ICORE matches must be revolvers with a .32 magnum caliber or greater and in sufficiently safe condition. All firearms are subject to inspection and approval by the Match Director or Range Officers. If that is the case, how come the shooter in this pic is using a semi-auto? http://www.cbshooters.com/gallery/ICORE_02...ges/image48.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also, is a six-shot revolver good enough to compete or should a shooter use a 7- or 8-shot revolver? Any input about this is greatly appreciated.

How many times do you shoot your .38 super comp (or even .38 super) and .40 S&W brass before you toss them out? Or what's the recommended number of times? Does it depend on the manufacturer and the load? What are the more subtle signs that a piece of brass is bad other than a cracked case?

Thanks! Okay, let's take this one step further, what about the UPPER parts of the 1911 and 2011 frame gun? Guide rod? Sear? Hammer? Extractor? Safety?

Just out of curiosity, which parts of a 1911 and a 2011 frame gun can be used in both? Just drop in parts, not the ones that need fitting.

What's the stock spring weight of the STI Edge? What spring weight do you other shooters use? Also, does lengthening the OAL of the .40 S&W to 1.200 do anything to reduce recoil? I load .40S&W for other guns with a OAL of 1.135 and they fed fine in the Edge, but recoil is a BEITCH! I'm too cheap to buy a Recoil Master or Sprinco recoil reducer so I'd thought I'd change the recoil spring to a heavier one to dampen the recoil. Any help is greatly appeciated!

Does anyone have a Zanotti Safe or know of them? Here is their website: http://www.zanottiarmorsafes.com/ What are you likes, dislikes, stories, etc.? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, I know that the Ultimate Ghost Holster is out...but just out of curiosity... Can you use a Ghost Holster with a 2011 (STI or SV) gun WITHOUT drilling a hole in the trigger guard? What will happen if you don't? Dropped gun when the buzzer goes off? Can you grind down the pin using a Dremel?

What tools are needed for the front sight installation besides a brass punch, a small hammer, and some light grit sandpaper? Any tips and techniques are greatly appreciated.
