Call stacatto and see what they say

I'm not so sure there's not such thing as a flat shot. Maybe not completely flat, but when I shot a guy's open gun the other day at 10 yards there was probably not more than 6 in of vertical lift at that distance, and I think six is an overstatement it was probably more along 4. Keeping the dot in the glass, was not only not an issue, it was unbelievably easy to do. It had been awhile since I shot an open gun and to say I was surprised would be an understatement

^^^ what he said Same here, while I knew the da shot was there I just didn't really pay much attention to it. I kind of always did the "tightening the trigger finger as I was extending out on the target for the first shot" if it was a distance and rolled through the trigger. Then just shot single action the rest of the way like that was what I had done from the get-go. Also I never had any fancy dasa guns, just a Beretta 92 and the only trigger mods was putting in a factory da only main spring.

Maybe I was misunderstood. All of my factory prodigy mags have worked completely fine. I only got about 3,000 pounds totals to the gun at this point though, so not a huge sample size. The springs do seem a little weak, but like I said at this point they've been fine. Just not really worth upgrading in my opinion That said, when my springs go bad I'll probably go ahead and buy grams springs and followers so that I can get 21 in all my mags that still have the factory base pads on them. I just don't think it's worth buying the stuff to convert them to 23. Once you do that you might as well go ahead and just buy the mags that hold 23 from the get-go cause you're going to spend about the same money

Crap, I think you are right and it is a bull barrel. Sorry for the misinformation. Bad part is I am pretty sure I made the same mistake recommending that gun before.....

The tube sizes are not the same length To be honest if you wanted to increase capacity you may be better off to go with an atlas mag that's already ready to go with 23 rounds. Even though the prodigy mags are only 40 or so bucks, by the time you buy a TTI base pad and some grams internals you're basically at the same price as an atlas mag out of the box. I built up one prodigy mag, but decided it wasn't actually worth the money. So if you were looking for a couple of cheap 20 rounders The prodigy mags are the way to go, but if maxing capacity is the goal, probably should just spend the money right off the bat

But in reality I would probably do the 45/9 dill. I get that it's a headache to switch the press, but with a little planning you probably would only have to switch it once or twice

I have never understood buying a new gun and replacing the barrel, unless you were building an open gun or something. If a factory gun is not accurate enough for USPSA, it's probably a POS. So yeah, trigger, grip tape, maybe sights, depending on model (whether Glock or something else). If it needs more than that it's probably trash

I think they started making them like that so wind would be less of a factor

If the calibration zone is the right size, I'll allow it

I had used metal forms on my old minor gun and they worked great, but when I ordered this gun the mecgars were the ones that they had so I picked a couple up. Liked the design so much I ended up buying a couple of more. They do seem to be really good

Interesting. I've had several Rock Islands over the years and had good service out of all of them. Only in 9 mm or 45 though, never a 40. The 45 was probably my highest round count gun at around 15,000 or so. So not super high around count but for 400 bucks they seem to work for what I'm asking

When production 15 was announced, I was kind of excited about it. I went out and looked at production guns and didn't find anything I really liked for what I wanted to spend. Well, I didn't really find any production guns I liked at all regardless of price. Then I watched a video of production 15 and decided that production 15 was a horrible idea and kind of took the heart out of production. So what was I going to do, I wanted iron sights and I wanted low cap and I wanted 9 mm and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money. The answer was obviously a new single stack minor gun. I had one in the past and got pissed off because of minor and went back to major only in single stack, but my favorite gun to shoot has always been a 9 mm 1911. Well that was a few years ago and I'm just going to roll with the minor scoring now to not have to deal with the headache of picking up brass and such, and commonality of calibers with my limited optics and 3 gun pistols is nice as well. So the hunt began I ended up coming across a Taylor's 1911 for $400. It's made by armscor, so just figure it's a Rock Island. Purchased four extra mags for right at $100. And picked up a Dawson ipsc magwell on here for 40 bucks. A buddy of mine did the trigger job and got the trigger with all the stock components under the 3 lb, it's plenty good for me. So we got a 9 mm 1911 which is obviously better than any production gun ever made, low cost, and so far through practice and one match 100% reliability, all for about what a Glock 17 cost. So if you want to shoot real low cap and iron sights throw those plastic crapper guns and DA first shot guns in the trash and come join me in a division where you get to shoot a real gun with super soft ammo LOL The gun came with the two silver mags, the black mecgars are what I added Notice the tapered top on the mecgars magazines. I don't know if these existed back when I shot single stack minor in the past, but I really like it. Effectively makes the mag well bigger Other than the magwell, grip tape, and orange paint on the front sight, all factory components. Oh yeah, and the grip screws and bushings, the factory ones were crap so I had to spend 11 bucks there

I'd try some longshot powder

I don't have a picture, but I built some out of PVC fittings before. Took a female adapter that was close dremeled the threads a touch, dremeled a groove on the side so I can put it on the belt with a zip tie, and done.
