You really need to swage primer pockets for the Ginex primers to seat properly. Even then some may get a little high (not seated fully). I tried Ginex, never again, even if they are free. They do go off 100%, the issue is with seating fully.

Same advice - get a chrono, buy or borrow and tune your load. Also a fan of Clays.

I love Blazer, Speer and CCI brass in 9mm in general for reloading. I don't reload same case 10+ times thou. I'm speaking 1x fired brass. Federal is high up in my book too. I do get 1x fired brass all the time so I don't pickup what I shot at matches.

IMHO, if one likes 147s and TG, try 124s and Clays One needs access to chrono to gauge their own gun/load PF. I run a load with PF129 for USPSA/IPSC/IDPA. PF mostly depends on barrel length and how 'tight' the barrel is - quite 'individual' values.

TG compared to Clays burns hotter thus complaints re smoke with lead bullets, also TG will give muzzle flash while Clays won't; all with Minor loads.

Whichever Shadow has smoothest action and sights you like and you can afford, as long as it's on Prod list.

Yes it's legal for IDPA SSP and ESP, and USPSA.

I used +10% springs in my 10rd mags, only thing is - tough to load last couple of rounds but I use UpLula ever since I cut my 'loading' thumb at work just before a match

Top round nose diving may be caused by broken front 'leg' of the mag follower and/or weak mag spring.

Subj of the thread has 'SP-01 Shadow' in it, so there....

Safety detent doesn't hold right safety in place, safety detent lock does and looks like this:

You'll be better off using a roll pin punch on factory trigger pin.

400 and then 1000 grit is what i use. +10% springs is all I use, 10rds mags take them and work 100%. Arredondo mag brush makes it fast and easy to dis-assemble and clean mags during matches.

Yes you can use +10% springs in 10rds mags without cutting them. I'd recommend you smoothing out and polishing mag lips where they come in contact with top round thou.

Using TS walnut grip panels for years, they are most def working for me. I saw and 'felt' some very nice alum panels too but just cannot justify another $80 as I feel they are not worth that to me.
