Why are people accepting these mags? Why aren't you returning them unaltered for exchange or refund? If you got a scope that wouldn't even turn on out of the box you'd return it.
Maybe they would get the hint if people would send them back.

Just got off the phone with cmore. I was calling about having some scopes re-bodied in aluminum.
Asked about the rts2 and what have they done. Apparently they changed the "electronic board" as we'll as added the O-ring. I also asked if I can buy direct to make sure I get an up to date upgraded scope and she said yes.
-
For those having trouble. Are your scopes frame mounted or slide mounted?
-
The square opening in the middle of the disconnect needs attention.
-
Never even saw the little pocket.

How do the "Cool Kids" tuck their laces?
I did mine like this.
-
Zephyr is all I wear.

When I bought my kimber I thought it would be a problem. All my sti guns have the grip safety disabled. Really isn't a problem for some reason on my single stack gun.
Thought of removing the firing pin safety but found out you have to remove the rear sight to do it.
From research though apparently you can install a standard firing pin without the safety cut and it will pacify the safety. So I guess you could eliminate the grip safety bar/plunger too.

Plastic is 55.00. Didnt know al. Was an option. Is that only a slide ride?
-
They always crack. Lost track of how many I've had scopes re-bodied. I'm going rts2 next time. I think If was to stay with the same scope I would look or an aluminum bodied one.
-
I like my Dawson ice a lot.
-
I'd say find a PUBLISHED minor load and stick with it. Then you don't have to worry.
-
Question. Why are you set on using the QLS when the els will do the same? Are wanting to change to a duty type holster too?
-
I think it looks too large for the QLS. Here is mine on the ELS fork. I love this setup. Did you try to mount it straight to the belt? I didn't like that close to my body but you may be different. I'm a pretty big guy.
-
You will only have the top two line up. I run mine with just the two.
-
I sight my gun off my range bag seated at a bench. My arms are extended just like if I was standing except I'm supported off my bag. Works for me. I try to keep my head and arms in the same position always and I MOVE THE GUN on target, not move my head and gun to center the dot.
-
Are the dedicated 9mm mags already shimmed or are they made specifically for 9?
-
Yes use a two or three port comp. egw sells good ones they have them in aluminum , and titanium too. They market them for steel guns and bianchi.
-
Jojo vidanes has a nice one. Not sure if its centered though. Looks like It.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree. "Faster slide" speed isn't going to relate to faster "on target" speed. Unless you pull your trigger before you see a sight picture? Maybe they will lift the 43 ounce MAX weight limit for single stack having read your scientific explanation. Cheers.
Ok go run you 43oz single stack versus a 36oz single stack on the clock and tell which one is faster??? And thats the reason why they dont allow slide cuts or radical weight loss on single stack division.
Not at all what you are saying. There is a MAX weight limit for single stack of 43 ounces. Why do you think that is? Because weight (especially in the front) is an advantage.
Isnt that what I'm saying a lighter gun will always be faster than a heavy gun. And thats the reason why they dont allow slide cuts in single stack because of the weight advantage ...
Horse $&!+ The name of the game is keeping the gun on target. If that weren't the case then why would you put a comp on an open gun? You can't put a comp on a limited gun to control recoil so you add weight plain and simple. Every monkey with a milling machine cuts guns up and tells everyone it's "better". Why do you think there is a weight limit for single stack? If weight wasn't an advantage and "slowed you down " why would it matter?I preffer a well balanced gun over a front heavy gun ... My 6" is very well balanced than my 5" ... My 5" cycles alot faster ( 11.4oz slide) and transitions faster. But my 6" just feels much better; when I run it ... It also cycles slower so my slow eyes can keep up with the sights.
As for the tungsten barrel ... You want a heavy gun you just start with a heavy gun ( i.e. full dust cover aka The Edge ) and if you want heavier add a tungsten guide rod and you want heavier than that add a steel grip and if you want heavier than that add a tungsten sleeve on the barrel.
What I've notice from watching numerous friends shoot IPSC in the Philippines ... Its very rare that you shoot a stage like a USPSA stage ( 30+ rds ). Its usually only in the 19rd to low/mid 20's round count. Even the mid 20's are rare. So theres alot less transitions happening in a PPSA stage that there is in a USPSA stage. So a super heavy iron pig of a gun would be still competitive but in long courses of fire which are normal at USPSA, it would start to lose ground on the lighter guns.
So if you re-read my original post; you might understand. If not let me break it down for you nice and slow. I prefer a well balance gun ( which is my 6" sight tracker). The key word is preference. Then I went on to mention if yoy wanted something heavy why to control felt recoil start off heavy with a full dust cover gun; etc etc...
And then mention IPSC and mentioned a heavier gun will lose out on a lighter gun in long courses of fire. So unless my cellphone is typing in Chinese. Where this horseshit your seeing ??? All I've posted are factual information.

Take a chamber cleaning cord. One of those pull through ropes in the correct caliber. I use that on my seating and crimp dies. If you have dillon dies you don't even have to take them off the the tool head.
