If you want to be a gamer, read the rule book. Nobody is in the mood to read 122 pages to argue with you. Lol

I'm not familiar with this make of 2011. I did have this problem with my 2011 a few years back. Make sure the 2 grip screws are tight, they had barely moved, but it was enough. Now I use blue Loctite.

Shred has pointed out the issue. With lots of extractor tension, a heavy hammer spring, federal primers...it might be decent. A friend tried this with 9mm in a 9by21 barrel. Don't be surprised if you get bang bang click rack bang click rack click.....

Try a little more crimp so the spent casing slides over the next cartridge coming up.

Good catch. It's been a few years. I checked my sandpaper supply, found 1/2 a sheet of 600 grit. That's what I would have used.

I bought a STI 2011 a few years ago and was shocked when it wouldn't feed factory ammo. There's 3 things to do. 1. Load long, at least 1.18. 2. Polish the feed ramp with 200 grit sandpaper. 3. Tune your mags, instructions are pinned at the top of the forum.

I think the right call was made in the end. I hate barrels as hardcover. Not a match goes by without an argument over this. Sometimes there's no effort to Patch a barrels surface (it's not easy), then, 1 RO will start calling hardcover hits when there's several partial and full diameter hits already present. Ever hear an RO say "I saw the bullet hit the barrel"? Barrels make great garbage cans and are very useful to determine witch ROs use their status to advance their position as a competitor.

Most new shooters would benefit more from a couple thousand dollars worth of practice ammo, a training course, as few bigger matches.... Have you ever not been able to finish a match because your gun broke? In 10k rounds through an Edge, I've been to the safety table once to tighten the grip screws.

Polish the feed ramp, tune mag lips as described in the 1911 section (tuning SVI mags) and load long. The bullet will hit higher on the ramp avoiding failures... that's what everyone told me to do with an Edge, they were right.

I had FTF headaches when I fist got an Edge 5 years ago. I read the pinned post above on tuning SVI mags and followed the instructions as best I could. I also loaded long. 1.180" I really can't complain after that. Looking at your picture, is the 2nd round rubbing the tube? I see you load to 1.180", should be lots of room. I haven't measured feed lips again, everything is working fine. The lips are opened up enough that the follower almost falls out the top. Notice the first and 2nd rounds are perfectly parallel to each other. Take note of the angle of the follower on empty, is yours the same?

I've fired 1000 of my reloads through my G17 gen 5, yes it's surprisingly hard to clear a live round.

Also agree that TTI kit is pretty decent for the price. It's never going to be a 1911 / 2011 trigger, but there are some shooters who do very well with Glocks against the best guns and competitors in the world. Ben Stogger and Bob Vogel's names come to mind. Glock triggers don't slow them down much.

Hate barrels for this exact reason. I've also been assed a "mike", with 2 perfect holes (each with grease rings), after a patcher pointed out a full diameter hard cover hit. Asked for the CRO's opinion, then had target pulled for the RM. RM said according to the rules, having or not having a grease ring means nothing, call stands. I do love the sport, but I'd rather see all penalty targets used to obscure targets rather than barrels.

Not familiar with the Acro sight, but there's lots of others that work with the MOS version. Co-witness with irons in front would just be weird, I wouldn't want to have such a short sight radius. I'd sell it and get a MOS and pick a compatible sight. Sent from my XP8800 using Tapatalk

I might be annoyed if the competitor was also expected to patch, RO, score keep...etc. if they're having malfunctions, I'd cut them some slack. There's nothing unsafe about chamber checking with the barrel of a disassembled handgun. Sent from my XP8800 using Tapatalk
