  1. No problem with STI mags and Dawson pads in the SV stainless grip on my Edge. Not sure about the Dawson magwell. I've got the SV magwell. It appears to be the same size dimensionally. You're welcome to take it for a test drive at the next match if you like.

  2. I've been using the Ballistic for about 3 yrs. I use the extra rubber case too. It is a brick though. It stays in my nail bag daily getting drowned in sawdust, rain, etc. When I do finally take the phone out of the case it looks brand new. My wife uses the Otterbox and likes it. I've never really known about any others until I read this thread. The Lifeproof looks pretty cool.

  3. A few months ago I was doing some mods to a glock so I ordered parts from several different vendors one evening. All arrived within a week except for Glockstore. All sent me emails that my stuff had shipped except Glockstore. When I would go to their website to check the status of my order it would always say "pending". The parts showed up about 2 weeks after I ordered. Everything was good...and my status was still "pending". You'll probably be ok but don't expect any communication or order updates.

  4. Yes, the Competition Grip XL Mag well is much larger than the original SV mag well. It is about the same size as a Dawson Ice mag well, minus the plastic insert.

    me being anal ... kills me when I scratch up a metal magwell ... And I'm not great @ reloading and the dawson magwell takes care of that but I'm seriously looking into buying 2 stainless steel SV grips...

    Believe me, I understand what you're saying. Mine look like they've been shot with a shotgun, but it doesn't hinder it's performance. And IMHO, the steel grip is so much better than the plastic ones, you'll soon forget what the inside of your magwell looks like!!

    edit, sorry, read twice, post once :)

  5. I have steel grips on an open and limited gun and I don't think I could ever go back to a plastic grip. I always wanted the gun heavier. Went through the whole thing with adding the tungsten guide rods and the heavy magwells but the steel grip gave it the feel I was looking for. IMHO, it's the way they should be made. But I guess they're not for everyone. My buddy would say, "just get a caspian". :P

  6. I think you are referring to the first inch if that is when the fps is riding on the hammer. Once it has the hammer cocked, it isn't or shouldn't be dragging there.

    BTW - West, what the hell are you doing with a NEW infinity open gun???

    Thanks, what I was referring to is if the hammer is cocked and you operate the slide, the first 3/4" is free travel before contacting the cocked hammer. Once contact is made, it slightly depresses the hammer a little more as the firing pin stop gently rubs across the hammer for the last 1-3/8" of travel. This occurs on my SV and STI. Wasn't aware this was a problem. It has never affected the function but thanks for the heads up.

  7. The slide goes back fine, most of the way, then drags, smoothly, the last inch. It goes forward without a hitch.

    Any ideas? I had forgotten to clean under the link for awhile, and just cleaned that up, after it caused some issues. (Doubled, at didn't feed one round.)

    Are you working the slide with the hammer back? The reason I ask is because the last inch is where the bottom of the firing pin stop rides across the top of the hammer and mine has a little drag there as well. Just a thought.

  8. I have a question In the states where u can only have 10 rounds? Do u still use 140mm tubes the reason I ask is I just got a new open gun and 140mm mags with Dawson +1 pads and they just fit up in there? I'm not sure 126mm would fit... Maybe I'm wrong

    Most of us are running 140's, SNL pads, Grams innards, and 10rd blocks. I use the Arrendondo block. I use this setup because the 126's insert too far with a large magwell and it's hard to get enough "cushion" with 10rds in a 126. But I had the actual 10rd 126 mags.

  9. I went to order another case of Montana Gold 9mm (.355) 124gr JHP and they are out of stock so I was wondering if I could use 357 sig instead? They are .355 125gr JHP. The MG 124's have a truncated? nose and the pic I found of the 125's seem to be a more round nose.

    Does anyone have any insight on this? Thanks.
