I have a buddy that shoots the 92 Elite. He is very fast with it. It never malfs. I also spend time on the Ben Stoeger web site. I like the way he shoots and his drills are helpful.

You shoot your Beretta in Production?

I'll be running a G20 with a .40 conversion barrel installed next year. I ran it side by side with a SV I owned at the time. Much prefer the feel of the Glock. The SV was very heavy. The Glock is approx. 34oz with magwell and guide rod. When I start shooting it I will be goin head to head against my buddies shooting S_I's. We'll see if I can keep up.

I'm shooting Bear Creek 125gr.
$44/1000.
Tightgroup and Solo1000. I'm not noticing any smoke.
Not dirty.
Gosh. Can't beat that.

Sure. It's on the list.
A trigger job -polishing out all internals, trigger, sear, hammer, pins, safety etc.. And replace stock mainspring with a #17lb. Or #16lb if it is an older gun. If you have the plastic mainspring base you will have to use the #17 spring. Is advised. Just the mainspring change will help a ton.
I found an older used P226 in 9mm and shoot it in Production class. Fun! Liked it so much I bought one in stainless. Even better.
It's a good choice for production. Shoot it and have fun.

I bought an X-5 last year to tinker with. the gun is beautiful, well made and is dead nuts accurate.
They are HEAVY, Slide inertia is quite noticeable with much felt recoil, even with USPSA major loads.
I want to shoot mine, i just need to address the magazine capacity issues and have the gun lightened up. I assume gray's gun does work on the beavertail to thin them up and allow a higher grip? Does he get rid of the 2 piece guide rod? Or is there anyone that can do this work at a reasonable price?

Bear are you saying that a heavier slide increases the felt recoil?

Advantages:
1. Eliminates peening at the cylinder stop notches that is sometimes seen on stainess cylinders (and I believe largely caused by rough gun handling practices).
2. Because the Ti cylinder is lighter in weight, it reduces the shooter's perception of the cylinder rotating on its axis. This may arguably reduce DA trigger pull, but the difference is pretty minute.
3. The gun will feel lighter. This can be an advantage, and allow snappier transitions from target to target.
Disadvantages:
1. Some (but not all) of the Ti cylinders are sticky.
2. The gun will feel lighter. This can also be a disadvantage by reducing absorption of felt recoil.
3. Cost.
For most shooters, they're not really worth the cost. For those who have the peening problem, they're worth every penny.
Mike when you say "rough gun handling practices" what do you mean?

Is the 2mm rod any brighter?
Seems a smidge brighter. Having rod in font of and in back of the sight in a bulb helps. Plus I like a larger dot, that's brighter.

I've had the same problem before on my SDB. You have to remove the allen on the left side below the primer cup then place into a vise and compress the cup, hold once compressed and reinstall the allen. You can call Dillon and the will give you a measurement from the top of the cup to the bottom of the slider but I lost it a long time ago and I just compress it till tight and lock it down.Good Luck.
That sounds good. I did that with the worn slide. I'll give it a try.
Thanks again,
Rick

Do both primer slides do this? Most likely the delrin bearing strip surrounding the primer slide needs to be replaced.
Hey. I found an old primer slide and put it in and NO DRAG. Thanks so much. The delrin looks a little loose.

Hi,
Just recently the primer cup seems to be getting caught or dragging on the body of my SDB as I pull the handle back. When I take the priming system off the machine there is no catch or drag. I have tried filing the primer cup down some but I don't want to do too much of that. I am considering notching the hole on the bottom of the press.
I tried a search but I didn't know quite how to phrase it.
Has anyone else run into this? The press is about 10yrs old and has been working quite well until now.
Thanks so much,
Rick

4.5 Clays
200gr Midstates LRN
1.230 OAL
5in Barrel
Average Vel. 794.2 PF 158.8
I'm using fed large primers and they are looking pretty flattened. I'm worried about adding powder. I regularly use fed. primers for revo. I was wondering, because they are more sensitive, do they usually flatten out more?

Carver makes one, Lightening Strike makes one and Glockmiester makes one. Not sure if they will fit your SF. I think not. But you can call and ask them.

Does a longer pressure spike mean a smoother feel? A shorter pressure spike being sharper?
-
I'm moving to a lighter gun also. A G20 with a .40 cal conversion barrel. Tried it alongside my SV 5in. Sight Tracker. Much prefer the Glock. Not as flashy, but neither am I. YMMV.

I haven't gotten any updates up to this point and I don't want to pester LW about it. If I am still hot for it in the spring (after singlestack) I may pursue the matter. I want to run my 4.6 first. When it comes to my shooting the length of the barrel probably wouldn't make a difference.

I have one on my 625JM. It is deeper and I like that. Yeah you need a front sight that is shorter. That's easy. If I had it to do over I would get the one with dots. Go have fun.

I did fairly well as an EX, ESP shooter. I think the Postal match is a great idea. Great for the IDPA shooting community. I intend to start shooting ESR regularly at our local IDPA matches. The Postal match gives me a chance to compete against lots more revolver shooters.
I like that. I wish it happened more often.

Try not to second guess yourself so soon. You are capable of more than you think.
It is my understanding the longer slide is not heavier. So why would it hinder performance?
I too am considering a longer slide some day for my G20 in limited class (when rules allow it). I am starting out with the short slide. But I desire the longer sight radius. I also like the idea that I would get better velocities with a longer barrel.
I shoot a 34 in production now and would not go to a 17.
Just my thoughts.

Best to do the search Blue. I don't pay as close attention as you are implying. I do however check out Handloads .com. And use their "reduced load calculator" on the home page, it will give you a good place to start. Not precise, just handy.
Iron Sights is a great place to shoot.

4.5 solo 1000, 1.125, 930 fps. 167 PF. Out of a 5" Scheuman (sp) barrel. I am told these barrels are a tad slow. You will probably get better results. You will get that easily out of your G35.

Hello: I wonder if the tungsten guide rod would put it right at the limit? I'll have to weight mine to see. Thanks, Eric
Yes do weigh it. That's my set up also.

I have indeed received a reply from LW. From Anna, assistant to JR. She informs me that they have sold around 500 of the 6" barrels already and will reach that mark with the 6" slides by the 1st of the year. This is encouraging right?
I am still putting together my 4.6" G20 limited set-up. I probably won't shoot it in earnest until next year. I wonder how long this process of getting a new configuration approved would take. And how to begin.

Anyone heard anything else on this?
I have emailed LW a couple of times trying to get a production number for the long slides but have received no reply. However they don't know me from Adam. Is there anyone out there who has a better relationship with whom they might want to reply?
I'd love to get an Idea where this is headed.
R
I do, and I will call them tomorrow.
Patrick
Thank You Patrick
