  1. Anyone else notice they shoot amazing matches after month long breaks from shooting / practice? it seems to be a theme for me. Guessing it’s the no expectations mindset. I also notice very little conscious thought the entire day related to shooting. Anyone else do well after long breaks?
  2. I use an angle vice personally. Mount barrel Into slide and use barrel fitting jig to keep aligned. Basically its a rod with a screw that tightens onto barrel.
  3. The super squad followed my squad all day. We had two people the popper didn’t fall for. One didn’t call for calibration soon enough, the other one it fell over for during calibration. The shooter was shooting major and had a dead center hit. The other was shooting 140 PF but didn’t realize she should call for calibration. that popper was a problem. We all knew it when we shot. The super squad obviously didn’t know. The squad in front of us had a calibration on the same popper but I don’t know the result. if a Rangemaster visits the same popper repeatedly in a match, something is wrong
  4. Everyone has had them. But they only last five minutes even with a 1-5k limit
  5. I know people that have done it but no one will do it currently unless you supply the primers. a friend that is an FFL quit making making and dealing with primers. He makes more selling the primers then he did making ammo. Crazy times.
  6. Take a tiny bit off the top forward portion where it is hitting. It will allow the barrel to rise more. It shouldn’t take much. usually you can mark the whole barrel and put it into slide. Whack underside a few times with rubber or soft mallet. Should show you exactly where to take material.
  7. Tri topping is easy and works good. It was all I needed to make my railed 9mm make weight.
  8. We tried some 1.160 with 124 JHP and they worked In all the open guns.
  9. Everglades 124 is nice. It’s pretty commonly used around me.
  10. Buy the carbide. I bought two HSS ones and they work, but barrel hardness varies a lot between manufacturers. I broke both within 4 barrels. The carbide I have done 12-14 already and it’s perfect. Even cutting nitrites and dlc barrels.
  11. Try shooters world major pistol. Similar to aa7 but cleaner.
  12. It’s still out there. What is a legit quantity? PRecision delta was selling it for 25 per k.
  13. Redhilltactical makes holsters for nitro fins / production guns. Message me if you want a discount code. i don’t know of anyone else who does.
  14. Send me a message. I can help you with both and give you different options since I know all the local smiths and trainers.
  15. I have seen barrels have fore to aft play with too much hood clearance. I’m guessing that could eventually damage lugs. No experience on that though.
  16. You can remove the hard chrome and hard chrome again. There was likely oil, rust or some other impurity on the slide. Your hands may may be acidic. I can rust / pit anything within 24 hours if I touch it. Clean sooner it sounds like. Are most of the pits where you touch?
  17. Infinity sear springs are longer then normal if the spring is indeed coming off the sear. You didn't mention the trigger weight at all?
  18. 8.0 at 1.165 for hs6. You will need closer to 8.3 to 8.6 depending on your gun / Popple holes.
  19. Where exactly are you polishing? I use Dykem all the time. There are many surfaces that will always be friction surfaces and rub the dykem off
  20. Where are you located? A local Smith will likely have the best turn around time and attentiveness.
  21. Order everything from RHT. Their holster is awesome and you can get DAA or their matching kydex mag pouches. i love the DAA mag pouches for the ease of use and quick change to other guns.
  22. Both work great. You won’t be disappointed with either.
  23. Message me. I can do both of them for you in .40 caliber.
  24. Make sure when the mag is inserted with slide back, that the round does not touch the underside of the ejector. I have fixed three guns this week alone that had the same issue. Ejector wasn’t letting round sit at an ideal angle and also would hold the round down when the feed lips were trying to release the bullet.
