Awesome, thank you

That's good to hear, thank you, sounds like aa7 is what I'll go with. Just needed a little confirmation on everything

2nd that

Thank you everyone, yeah itll most likely be 124 jhp, I'm the same, I'm looking to get a load that runs reliably but hangs around the 170-172 PF, this is a winter project I was actually looking forward to! The open gun will be a 2011, so im hoping I can stay around the 1.16 COAL area which is what ive been running for minor loads as well

Getting ready to start loading for 9 major, I've narrowed it down to aa7 or hs6, what's everyone's opinion on which is cleaner, flatter and most of all, available?

A dot would be something I would consider in the future, the dot is obviously quicker but my theory with a CC handgun is keep it simple, my irons are zeroed at 7 yards. However with modern dots I really dont have any skepticism about battery life, durability, etc

I'm pretty sure you'll need a whole new top end, idk that 45 cam be converted to a 40. Considering the cost it may be easier just to buy a whole separate gun for the new endeavor. I cant recommend Springfield or dan wesson enough

Heavy weight and low reps will.deateoy your joints. In my 20s I swore by it but now well into my 30s it makes everything hurt. Happened to me a few months ago and had to start doing lower weight with higher reps and the problem solved itself.

I always tell my wife this is for security/safety reasons if questioned on new toys haha

That's exactly what I've been noticing this last little while, the factory 115s are a little flippy, 147s while seemingly more accurate almost seemed delayed so magtech 124s had been my go to for factory stuff

Are the atlas 9mm 140s really 23 reloadable? I've only ran mbx mags thus far and looking for some cheaper alternatives

Haha yep! At least you alphaed the head down, my luck itd be a charlie, mike at best

It's pretty hit or miss around nw mo, some nights we'll have 20, which is a busy night, some nights only 8 people sign up

You're right those dont count. The fact we all get lumped in with champion world class shooters makes me kinda wanna quit haha

It would surprise me if a heavier mainspring or firing pin spring would change anything. I would go with a lighter recoil spring and see what that does. It makes complete sense to me that a lighter spring would solve that issue. My 9mm 1911s always seemed over sprung from the factory as well causing muzzle dipping, I usually settled on a 9 or 10 pound

Yeah mine were tight as hell too but after they set loaded for a few days it got easier. I was pretty irritated the first time I could only stuff 22 in as well until I forced it in and now it's all fine. I've decided ny equipment likes to be abused

More capacity is always better, with my shadow 2 I have been using henning 140mm basepads with mbx followers. 24 rounds of goodness and with mine and can barney up for a total of 25. Everything has run 100% thus far

Well not so bright it obscures anything but bright enough that the 2moa dot and curve seem like one big dot. It's an experiment I'm playing with and so far its working

I've had a cmc pcc trigger for about a year now and so far its been flawless. I wanna say it's about 3.5 pounds on my scale

Thus far I like the center dot with 8 moa circle turned up nice and bright so it almost blends together. Havent had a chance to do much shooting as of yet but I'm pretty optimistic about the 507 comp doing what it does

My .40 2011 hates anything shorter than 1.18, I'd stick with the precision delta stuff you know works

I....actually support this, considering I've got a couple 40s laying around that I'd lose my ass off if sold, I wonder how well a dot would hold up on a slide ride limited major?

Not sure of current status but took a uspsa survey a few days ago and voted yes on 15 for production. I think its gonna be one of the ways to keep iron sights relevant in uspsa.

I had never even heard of the 2.0 metal until now, thank you!

I changed my loading gate out to a ranger point precision and clipped a couple coils, after that it made a hell of a difference on ease of loading, glad you got it figured out
