Get some of the “unburnt powder” throw it in an open flame and should ignite. Otherwise, its not “unburnt”

Not all of them. Some are made on 9mm slides that won't fit a regular .38 Super.
Didnt know until this.
i have three slides, all with aftec 9/38sc extractors. 2 sti- run in both super and sc, 1 caspian- runs in sc only. Will run super if i use super aftec in it. I dont know what cal. slides are they. I always thought they were 9s made to super by the gsmith.

Yes, extractor-change if it was made on a .38 Super slide.
I thought super and supercomps have same slide breechface?

I still come across 38 super and 9x21 contaminating my match pickup supercomps
I use .556 shellplates in my 550 to sort out supers from scomps.

Seems like the only 38 super shooters I know are OGs who are already rigged up and stocked up for 38 super.
That would include me.
So yeah there are some holdouts.
if I was starting out in open again I’d definitely go the super comp route.
Arent Supers changeable to Supercomps? And vversa?

I use Dawson tool less basepads. It fits ipsc gage. 27rnd Super, 28 in SC.

Heres how I do it upright or sideways mounted with the pistol held upright. When the screw driver turns clockwise, the POI moves to the direction where my hand holding the screw driver is. So if my hand is on top (or underneath in sideways mount) and i turn the driver clockwise the POI moves up (or down in 90deg mount) towards my hand. And away/opposite when I turn CC. Same with the windage, holding the driver on the right side of the pistol, turning clockwise the POI moves to the right, towards my hand. So it doesnt confuse me whether its upright mounted or 90deg. My reference is always my hand holding the driver. Hth.

In my 550 I filed a bit of the depriming needle tip on one side only to create an eccentric force and push the spent primer a bit to the side to prevent it from sticking on the needle tip and be drawn back to the primer hole. I got this trick from this forum I think.

Agree, IPSC Rules Committee should issue official clarification on this.
I compete mostly in ipsc and i only use one reddot in pcc. But think that arbitrary interpretation of rules on pcc sight(s) had the unintended consequence of banning the 45*. For me its a case of Typo vs Logic. -

one of my goals this year is to increase my weak hand grip pressure and position so i also wonder if that has something to do with it. i am putting a lot of pressure on the left back side of the grip which is where the grip is sliding forward.
You may try building up a ridge with epoxy and silicon carbide where your support hand can ride on.

It shouldn't since there should only be .20 or so transition time depending on the distance between the targets.
Also my thought and in application. But in one of Stoeger’s books he said to grip the gun very firmly only during firing shots. And He emphasized that. Then in one of my recent dryfire sessions in a wide (~90*) transition, i felt my grip loosened or relaxed a bit in between the targets. And I wondered if this was what he meant.

Does the grip loosens a bit between targets?

I had it in a 1301c when box fed sg was not still a fad in Open.
I have a vr80 equivalent in Derya mk12 With box fed mag, it also hold the bolt open after the last round. Im thinking instead of ejecting the empty mag and insert a loaded one, if i need just one shot to complete a stage, its a bit faster to just drop one from a matchsaverz into the open port (with the empty mag still in place to hold the fresh shotshell from falling into the magwell), push the bolt release button and shoot.
-
Anyone tried it?
In ipsc open max is 10 in a mag. Much less than in its tubular counter part. So maybe its practical to have?

Not to hijack this thread. With due respect to the op, i just dont want to open another thread. My friends rtsv has similar but a bit different problem.
After getting wet in the rain, and dried, the dot appears to ba a large blurred blob. But if i bring it close about 8” from my eye the dot appears ok. If its at arms-distance as in aiming a pistol, it appears a large blurred blob. Its more like a smudge actually. Im astigmatic and i can tell its not my eyes. I know how a dot looks in my astig eyes.
Been with dots for more than 10yrs now and this one baffles me. -
Do you have a booth in the World Shoot XIX? Or are some vendors selling your optics there?
-
No batteries no wires to fail, just the ambient light to see dot in a circle reticle.
-
It does fit if you use the arredondo +2 basepads and oem rear sight paired with Dawson front.
-
My 3 relatively new Atlas 170mm 9mm is 100% reliable in .38super/comp in both my 2 sti framed open guns. With Dawson tool less +1 basepads (not the snl) and Taran thin followrs and 13coil springs, it loads 27rnds .38s and passes ipsc gauge.

Have you installed the backstrap to hold it in place? If not yet, install the bs and it will press the spring from its bent shape and elongate it and reach the sear leg.

Can admin pls move this to Gun Springs? My mistake to post this here
Thank you

A weaken leaf spring in 1911 behaves differently from a spiral spring
Im comparing springs of same type: 1911 sear leaf springs.

Its detailed time displaying splits on video is one cool feature in studying drills and stage runs. What it lacks is usefull operating manual for all its features. And there are features that are not relevant to most shooters. I just ignore them but it adds to cumbersomeness of its operation.
