Shiiiiiiiiiii......
I believe it, my '97 VW Golf has 252k on it...still on the original engine, transmission, and clutch. I finally had to rebuild the front suspension at 225k.

My pin wouldn't budge, beat the living @#$K out of it....I bought a .22 conversion kit and will steal the SuperSight off it.
I just broke the pin yesterday. But I can see to knock the pin out, have bent a few punches, banging away at it. Any ideas?
-
Ben Stoeger had one of his high round count Berettas lose a piece in about the same place....I think he ended up shooting it some more as it still grouped well.

So, it is supposed to be a single pin, and my pin is broken in two pieces? The sight is not labeled "LPA" unlike the sight on my .40 Match. It has one spring applying upward pressure to the sight vs. 2 on the LPA marked sight, if that makes a difference.
You can knock out the old pin and then drill it out with a 3/32nd drill bit. Then cut the end off of the drill bit and use that as the pin. You have to then cut some grooves into the pin and then use a punch to retain the pin in the sight. Just make sure that you use a cobalt steel drill bit as that is hard enough to keep from bending or breaking. This is the only replacement pin solution I have found for the super sight. Other than that all you can do is replace the whole sight. And yes, the EAA super sights are crap and will break frequently. I have fed at least 7 super sights to my Limited gun in the past 2.5 years........

After shooting the MS Classic this weekend, while cleaning my gun tonight and installing a new front sight I noticed that the sight appeared crooked, but it was the rear that was out of kilter. Upon inspection I thought that the pin holding the front of the rear sight had moved, but then realized that it is not one pin, but two. I can't removed the other pin to measure it. SURELY, I can find something to replace the pin, instead of buying another sight....
Anyone else have experience with this?

Major PF? Clays is really not the best powder. Even loading long, it can be a bit of a gamble. If you like case head separations, go for it.

CZ SP-01.... laser beam accuracy....

that thing is garbage, just use disks.

The Lee CLassic Turret Press is awesome, as long as you aren't shooting alot. It's a very versatile piece..the one I have is mounted on a board so I can quickly change its location, such as taking it to the range to develop loads on the spot. I've replaced mine as my main press with a Hornaday LNL AP. Slop? The turret tops out at the same place every time. I never loaded a squib with the press as it really lets you pay attention to each and every round. I've got to get my setup as a dedicated .223 press, or any other low volume caliber for me. I think its a great press, and having 4 stations is a plus.
I already have a Lee Reloader (Single-stage) Press for my 223 loading. I'm looking for upgrades, so that I don't have to change dies frequently.
What are the feature advantages of the Lee Classic Turret over the regular Lee Turret Press? Offhand, I see that LCT does seemed to have a sturdier base.
Further -- why is the Classic Cast Press cost as much as the Classic Turret?
Thanks.

One thing I have noticed when using SOLO 1000, the numbers are pretty close to the weight in grains of the charge.

...That's incredibly stupid..they should at least measure CCs or something.
Yep, for your reference only. I just wish Midway, Grafs, Cabela's, or somebody had them in stock.

the new design Mec-Gar mags are supposed to be good to go.
I have two front spacer mags that will feed all eighteen rds. and two no spacer mags that only feed 10 reliably. I have heard of a rear spacer mag and of using a small frame mag with a spacer in the mag opening in the frame. What works the best that I can buy now?
Thanks

They don't seem to make much sense because the settings on the "thimble" that turns only has markings from 1 to 5????? I don't understand.
-
BBIs run very clean for me. I love the 130gr 9mm. I had terrible trouble with leading (molying?)with the Precision Bullets, even running a recommended power.
-
stick with the Match and buy some more ammo/ components and practice....unless you just have to have a Production gun.
I currently have a Match in .40 and am looking to upgrade to either the Limited Pro or Stock 2.
There doesn't appear to be much difference besides the Stock 2 having a full length dust cover on the frame.
Any other differences I should be aware of?
Which would you pick for USPSA and why?

Does anyone know where I can get one in 9mm? Been looking all over online and it seems like no one has em in stock. If you guys know anyone has em pls point me to the right directions. Thanks.

Of course, I jinxed myself and had some issues today, I could only load to 18 without nose dive issues....I found that my sizing die wasn't adjusted right to size the whole case.
I usually only load 20 in the mag, but when I have to have 22 in the gun, it works every time.
Can you load all of your mags to 21+1 every time and not have it nose dive? I have seen people have success with your setup but they have to download to 18 - 19 rounds to keep it from nose diving.

I've never had a problem with the Grams guts +.40 or 10mm mags. I load over 1.185 and use a U-die.
JCB> What "Works" depends on the quantity of proven successful jam free rounds shot. I can tell you that my solution has worked to eliminate nose dives for tens of thousands of rounds. Trying a different solution for a few hundred rounds may not be a solid test to see if it actually solve the issue or not.

Might want to take a good hard look at your barrel and look for any dull looking spots in the bore.... post cleaning. After shooting through 1000 Precisions, I will never buy any more of those bullets.
Don't tell me that! I already cleaned it with that solution. It definetely took the build up out. I hope it doesn't cause any harm. I'm just gonna switch back to copper jacketed bullets, but I've still got like 2000 of these that I don't want to just throw away. I guess I'll use them for practice.

...uhhh...not so sure they are stainless. I fubared a barrel with the h2o2 cleaning method...and don't use Precision Black bullets unless you really love cleaning out some of the massive build up they leave behind, even with a "lead safe" powder like Solo 1000. I have run BBI bullets with no problems,though.
Are the barrels from the factory on an elite limited 40 caliber made from stainless?
thanks

So, will it make weight for CDP? I know my 9mm Match is kinda of porky, and adding a magwell would push it over the 43oz mark. The .40 Match I have is lighter...
I just ordered the EAA large frame Pro 45 acp. double action on first shot. Is there any issues with this model. I would think feeding would be good , due to the larger caliber. I have feeding problems with the 40 & 9mm. But I like the feel of the gun so much, I thought I would give the 45acp a try in IDPA (CDP) & Limited 10 for USPSA.
I got my EAA Pro 45acp and it works great. After sighting it in, it grouped shots really well. I have put 400 rnds of every type of 45 ammo I have and no jams. Also a plus was the fact that my EAA 40cal mags also work in it with the 45 ammo. Which saved me a few bucks buying extra mags.I will add a few things from Hennings custom parts to lighten the double & single action trigger. Recoil was about what you would expect from a 45, but very managable. Bobboo

How about a photo of the gun?
EAA Witness, comped long slide, is showing off center primer strikes that seem to vary in depth. The accuracy is very poor. 6" groups from a rest at 25 yds. Vertical stringing. Occasional failure to ignite primers, poor ejection, stovepipes.
Loads used: 4.8 231, 4.2 Titegroup, 4.0 Titegroup, Berry's 124 RNDS.
It looks like it is locking up properly. Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you running it though a 9x21 barrel?
