Sees Sights (6/11)

  1. Summit 135's with 3.7gr of N320 and 1.12OAL has been the most accurate for me. I tried dozens of 124, 135, and 147 recipes and have settled in that.
  2. DAA told me to get the PT insert and be prepared to file it a little. What was pretty impressive to me is they also said if I screw it up they'll send me another one for free.
  3. There are two things that appear to be lacking at least from reading that page and perhaps from his whole analysis: a large sample size and a dynamic test. First, if I just take all of it at face value, as it looks like he wants me to do, there were less than 10 rounds shot as part of this test. I think it should have been dozens or hundreds for each scenario. Now maybe he did that and chose not to call it out, but why wouldn't he add "Oh by the way we did this 100 times", since it would bolster his argument. Second, like many catastrophic failures in general, I think this is a systems issue with several things stacked on top of each other until the sum of them all of them tips it over: ammo quality to be sure, gun cleanliness, barrel support, this gun's ability to activate the firing pin when not fully in battery, gun handling, gun mods folks have done, etc etc. I think that's what's going on in competition where we hear of so many of these failures happening. While his isolation of one aspect is certainly valuable in obtaining data about this problem, it's not enough to tell the whole story and not enough to be accepted as conclusive.
  4. I have had both (still have the KKM) and yes they do support it better - and you can see it with the naked eye. The rounds don't sit quite as low as those of a CZ, but I would *think/hope* it probably makes in incremental difference.
  5. You are totally correct and logical on this of course. I just think "I'll buy this kit, find one I like, toss the other three in the parts bin for the kids to deal with when I'm gone...".
  6. I think it also may be kind of a crap shoot as well. After shooting my X5 Legion for a while I started chasing more accuracy. I sent the gun to Barsto for a fitted barrel. I got more accuracy with it but also got some ammo fussiness. Then I read enough here and other places to be convinced it's not the barrel that's the problem, accuracy-wise, it's the slide. So bought a Gray guns classic slide set up, which came with a Sig barrel. Better accuracy than the Barsto setup, so I was convinced about the slide theory. Then when the "my sig just blew up" issues started popping up, and it looked like part of the problem might be the depth of seating of the round in the Sig barrels, I bought a KKM drop in barrel. I put the KKM in a stock slide, and damned if it's not just as accurate as the Grey slide with Sig barrel. I've heard that Gray now ships their slides with a Faxon barrel, but I've thrown enough money at this as it is.
  7. But then aren't you paying for springs you're unlikely to ever use? Not trying to be cheap, just seems wasteful.
  8. Yea - I was excited when I read that in the link you provided, because it's a bit harder to inhale using the cartridge I recommended. But as I read more on that page, it says for vapors "less than OSHA PEL", PEL standing for "Permissible Exposure Limit". They also use the term "nuisance levels". I think we are talking about exposure greater than nuisance / PEL.
  9. I am not a medical professional, but I don't think that's enough - that's still only a particulate filter. I think you need something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LDE45I
  10. Lots of good advice in this post, but that type of mask isn't going to help much for this - they work great for particulates but not for vapors. You need an organic vapor filter - like the kind the guys that paint use.
  11. I am not a medical pro, but I would not worry one second about anything under 10. Others will likely pipe in and say don't worry about anything under 20.
  12. Remind me not to be your friend!
  13. I have one, and it's more accurate than the stock slide / bbl. No reliability issues.

    Holy crap that's some serious obsession there. I love it.

    P320 triggers

    Sig Armorer sells his kit if you want to DIY. A local shooter has one and they are sweet (although he sent his away to get it done). Gray Guns trigger upgrade is pretty popular. I have two of them installed and like them. Side by side, the Sig Armorer version seems crisper and has less reset distance when dry firing, but in reality for me, I doubt I'd tell the difference between the two after the buzzer goes off.
