kneelingatlas Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 It takes really big mitts to feel comfortable rapping the trigger guard consistently. Also, that's quite a bit of muzzle rise, what's your load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattooo Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have never tried to grip the trigger guard like that. Do you notice any improvement or do you not like it at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicasa Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 My load was 128gr FP/8.2gr RS 24/S&B SP/OAL 29.0mm. PF 155-160. Grip feels nice, but I got two alternate areas of impact 3 inches spread vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'd try to get the PF up a bit - you should enjoy a hotter load more than your current load. Try PF 160 and 170 - see if that flattens out your gun, and makes you happier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Gripping your gun like that is very hard on a fast draw, I used to grip like that when I shot prescision, but changed it for ipsc. I know some uspsa/ipsc shooters do shoot liket that with success though. love the sigs, I got a few X series myself :=) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try PF 160 and 170 - see if that flattens out your gun, and makes you happier I tried it with LOS 123grs FP/8.4grs & 8.6grs RS 24 with OAL 29.3mm & 29.5mm. Velocity didn't increase much, but my barrel is damaged now It blow up a bit, somethere in the middle. I have a second barrel, but wan't crack it, too. Put a smaller version of the comp on it and use a lighter recoil spring. This works fine with H&N CuHS 115grs/5.2grs RS 20/S&B SP/OAL 27,7mm. Will test tommorow slower RS 24 7.6grs & 7.8grs /OAL 28.0mm & 28.4mm. PF will be around 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you can "blow up a barrel" with a PF of 165 or so ???? We usually load to PF 170 + without any negative consequences. Possibly loading too short? or using a powder that is too fast. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ano Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 You gotto load really really short in the sigs, a buddy shot off his comp! that was interesting but honestly with say 3n38 you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicasa Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 It's the LOS 123grs. FP/HP bullets. They vary in diameter. I talk to Heribert Bettermann to replace the barrel soon. He mentioned not to use LOS anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use LOS 123RN i 9major and have found them .356, .3565, i also have some 123HP they are same size like the round nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blast Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I think the problem isn`t the bullet. This kinde of defect is mostly caused by overpressure due to a double load or shooting a second bullet onto a squib load, but no reloader will admit that!

Wicasa Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I load and shot several thousands rounds with no issue. Something went wrong with the LOS bullets. They didn't group very well, too. Anyway I stay with H&N CuHS bullets. Just test a new load for Steel: H&N CuHS 115grs / 8.2 grs RS 24 / S&B SP / COL 1.122" but PF around 144. Using a P226 S slide with an old SIG SAUER compensator: ftps PF 1261 145 1261 145 1267 146 1275 147 1261 145 1248 144 1274 147 1277 147 1250 144 1249 144 1254 144 1269 146 1272 146 1269 146 1257 145 1247 143 1269 146 1261 145 1277 147 Edited August 13, 2017 by Wicasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
