Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. You are right. I forgot about the ejector. Thanks.
  2. I'm building an STI 2011 in 45acp planning to shoot USPSA Limited 10 and IDPA CDP. However, I might want to shoot Limited major. Has anybody tried having a slide set up for 45acp and another slide set up for 40 on the same frame? I'll appreciate your feedback.
  3. I just finished installing an APEX FSS trigger on my M&P Pro 9mm and it is not resetting. At the range I can fire two rounds if I don't let go of the trigger. If I let go, it will fire if I press the trigger again. Any suggestions?
  4. Anyone shooting in CCP using Wilson Combat? What model?
  5. Can someone suggest the best and easiest grip safety to install on a SR 1911 Government model? I'm replacing all factory parts with Stainless Steel ones but I'm having a difficult time finding the right grip safety. Most of the parts already replaced have required a little bit of fitting with no problem. However, the grip safety has been my nemesis. Any suggestions? Thanks.
  6. Thanks for the feedback, guys!!! Sorry it took me a while, 5 months, to reply. I've been shooting 9mm so much that I kind of forgot about 45acp, I want to get back to it. These loads seem too hot, On the low side that is about a 190PF, way over the 165PF that I need for IDPA. I guess I will stick with Titegroup and maybe trade the pound of N340. Thanks again,
  7. Thanks to all for your responses. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a bit to try your suggestions. I got my PM9 and after 3 rounds it locked up, galling. After a few hits with a rubber mallet I was able to unlock the slide. I field stripped it and re-lubed it but I couldn't get the slide back into the frame. So, my PM9 is at CZ-USA getting fixed and hopefully I'll get it back soon. I will post an AAR.
  8. ^^^ This is exactly what I did. Local smith took out some of the creep, improved reset and made the trigger break at 3# instead of 4+#. Used all the same internals - I think DW uses pretty high quality parts. 10# spring made it shoot a little flatter and an no-gap Ice Magwell makes reloads super smooth. JayDee, on the DP no-gap Ice Magwell, do you have to buy the mainspring housing also?
  9. Thanks a lot, everyone! I'll post AAR once I get my PM9.
  10. I started using Titegroup once I ran out of N320. Same load on Bayou 147gr. 3.2gr, performs the same on my G34 and M&P Pro. Titegroup just a tad hotter.
  11. I'm getting a Dan Wesson Pointman 9 in a couple of weeks. Been reading on a few forums it could be very finicky on what you feed it. I shoot 147gr Bayou Bullets, flat point. Any special OAL , crimp, etc? My standard load is 3.2gr of Titegroup with OAL=~1.135, enough PF for IDPA. All suggestions welcomed! Thanks.
  12. I just chronoed 147 Bayou on top of 3.2 Titegroup through my M&P Shield. Six rounds 850fps/125pf-866fps/127pf. I've been running it on BUG. Hope it helps.
  13. Any suggestions on what kind of tuning job on a PM9 to make it humming in IDPA? Thanks.
  14. OK, so I call Battenfeld and order 4 rods, $1.25 each. Not a bad deal. I got them and I used today. Thanks for all your suggestions.
  15. I have a pound of N340 that I bought to compare but I have no good loading data. I would like to load 45acp with Bayou Bullets 230 gr. Any good recipe out there? Thanks.
