  1. I went to aftermarket to get a lighter spring.
  2. I have had to start messing with the shadows more lately since I went back to them. I looked at the MbX, but can’t justify the cost. I have about 30 factory mags and they just work. I did replace the extractor and spring on one of the guns that started having a slower feed. Still ran just could feel it dragging. The gun does require much more cleaning than my 2011 or Glocks. I did have one mag in the bunch that required tuning the follower and spring. It never failed it just wasn’t holding the round in the right spot to ensure feeding.
  3. I tried all the sti 1st and 2nd gen I have. None worked well with the new LO top end. I went Atlas have had no issues. I didn’t try MBX. I am up 2 full sets of Atlas. Black Friday sale was great to get a few more.
  4. I try to pick up processed brass when I can. I will swage when I have to. It makes things so much easier.
  5. Anyone try the ginex primers? I have about 10k on the shelf to try. I have used in a stock legion that they work with. I haven’t installed the trigger yet.
  6. Loading on a 550. Definitely picky on headstamp. No failure to fire in any platform so far.
  7. I did the extra top end for it in 9mm LO. I used an old limited gun. I will be doing the 2nd one on my old 9mm limited for 3 gun. The guns were just collecting dust. 40 minor was tempting and still a possibility just cut it for an optic.
  8. I think I will be using this one next. I tried one from another maker and fitting was a nightmare.
  9. I ran about 250 of it through my orange. It functioned great, but felt like a few rounds were a little soft. I didn’t chrono, since I was going to 115 or 124 loads. I think I may have it reamed if I decide to load 147.
  10. I picked up an optic slide for my S2 orange. I had planned to use it in LO. Then I got bored and put an optic top on a spare 2011. I was looking at the TS before that. I would grab one if it popped up locally at a decent price.
  11. I have used 180 gr 40 in production. With TG it's a good combination. I do prefer some 140 gr coated in 40 for the 1911/2011. I did go ahead and order the Accuracy X slide and am in process of fitting onto my 3 gun 9mm. I did consider cutting one my limited guns, but couldn't do it. Mike
  12. I get it. I just can’t leave the s2 orange in the safe. I have always partial to Glocks, but the p10 just does it better. If I ever simplify and cut down I would have no issue running the p10.
  13. The s2 is easier to shoot. On the timer in practice it’s a wash. The last major I shoot this year will be with the S2 in production. The p10 goes to every practice and gets about 150 rds thru it. I would not hesitate to use it in a major if I had to. The only upgrade I am adding is grip tape to the p10. Possibly a guide rod to change spring weight.
  14. I went the p10f or route. If it’s an optic gun sight radius isn’t a thing. I haven’t run it in a match yet, but it does get out every practice and carried regularly. I might add a tungsten rod eventually. I did get henning pads for it. After season is over I plan to run it more and decide between my S2 and this one for next season. I do have grip tape on the way.
  15. I don’t know about that one, but the grind hard ammo didn’t chamber in the shadow or shadow 2. First 5 rds out of the box wouldn’t fit a case gauge. It’s a shame the price was good on it.
  16. I get that. It comes with grip mods I do anyway. They are not much more than a new 17 and come with optic cut. No plate needed if I go that route.
  17. Anyone using the DR 290? I have seen a few at a couple at matches. They seem to be ok. I think most of the issues were mag related from using other than oem mags. Planning to shoot more production until the primer situation comes back around. I have a 19, 34 and 35, but the 17 feels the best. A couple of shops have them in stock. Not the ones with the tin coated barrels just std black. Do they use the same sight cuts as regular glocks? Mike
  18. I have only used Tripp 10mm mags since they came out. I have a set of older system 10 rd mags that have been used in a few pistols. I use 180 and 200 GR to load minor. Runs great no issues other than newest gun doesn’t like certain bullet profiles. I prefer the gun loaded to 140 pf with 140 coated bullets. Nice, smooth and runs with 10 rd mags.
  19. I am not sure if it’s possible on my tri topped slide. I am looking at just building an extra optic cut upper.
  20. I put the PDI in my new gun. Worked great for a couple matches then began to not reset. Using the Taccom buffer system. I tried the POF also had same issue, but was immediate.
  21. I run 40 in ss. It lets me shoot major or minor. I lean towards major for most matches. I even shoot major loads in outlaw or Idpa matches. I know there is a huge difference for me with the scoring.
  22. I run the alloy pads with a gap magwell. I have used them for about 6 years or so. I am pretty sure it works.
  23. I have no issue running with a 34 in A class. I added Warren Sevigny sights, tungsten rod and 15# spring. I have no doubt I could make master if I actually practiced.
  24. The standard AR Velocity will not work in a PCC. I tried when they came out and had no luck. After a few months it came out that they did not work. They do have a PCC specific trigger out now. I can save some headaches for you, if it does not say for 9mm do not waste the time or money. Same with CMC and POF.
