  1. I have a couple of STI DVC open guns in 9mm.  1 has 7500 rounds and the other about a 1000.  No issues at all.  There are 4 other STI open guns at our club, so far no issues.  I email STI and asked them if they would continue to honor their warranty and they said yes. We shall see.  I sometimes wonder if some of the issues with the bad guns came from the owners modifying them, especially with steel grips.

    As a single stack shooter, I love the idea of single stack, production, and L10 being thrown together. Make them all eight major 10 minor and be done

    I like this one, too.  Would the SA/DA guns be able to start with the hammer back and safety on?

    Looking at the geometry, I would think that one would stack quite a bit. "Stacking" is where a coil spring gets harder to push the more you compress it. It will be interesting to see how that one works out.

    Okay Warren, not trying to be argumentative, what in the geometry do you see that would cause excessive stacking? It looks like they added a couple more friction points.

  4. I had 2 SP01 Shadows with the CZC milled mount.  I sold those and got a Shadow 2 Orange.  I really didn't want to cut the slide, so I bought an optic mount for my RTS2.  I actually like it better than the CZC milled mount.  It's been solid as can be.  It shoots about an inch low up close and about an inch high at 25 yards.  I don't even think about that stuff anymore.  When I pull out the open gun or my red equipped revolver there is no adjustment at all.  I don't think that you can go wrong either way.

  5. I just picked up a Shadow 2 Orange this spring.  Incredible gun, very accurate and very reliable.  I want to be able to shoot it in CO,  but couldn't see myself cutting up the slide.  I installed a CZ Custom dovetail mount and have very happy with it.  I had an AccuShadow with the RDS mount and I like the way the Orange points better.  I do have to allow for about an inch at 7 and 30 yards.

     

     

  6. I have a 6 inch 617-2 10 shot with an aluminum cylinder.  Wonderful gun, but the aluminum cylinder fouls up really fast and is harder to clean than my other 617.  I'd like to buy a stainless 10 shot cylinder to replace it.  I know it will change the balance of the gun, I'm okay with that.  What can I expect for issues with a project like this?

     

    Thanks

    It is harder to shoot (especially Major pf, due to reduced capacity) than any of the high cap divisions. 

     

    People don't like Reloading that much, or having a stage plan bombed because of a miss on steel. 

     

    I wish more folks shot it around here. I just look at the overalls,  and make a match on PS with me and the production shooters. 

    Can you use the whatif option on Practiscore and change yourself to production?

    Hello: Try some 95-115 grain bullets at 140-150PF for shooting steel matches. Feels like a 22 and will run with no spring change in most pistols. Thanks, Eric

    Does this formula keep the gun flat shooting?  I tried just using minor loads from my CZ and the dot was all over the place.

     

    Thanks

    Hello: The Federal small pistol primers with your load will have flattened primers. As long as you are not getting any blow by or pierceing the primer you should be ok. When I tried them years ago I was getting blow by and they were really flattened. That was with 115's and 3N37. Thanks, Eric

    Thanks for the answer.  Sounds like they are at least safe to give them a try.  I was worried that they might not hold up at all.  I only plan to use them if the supply gets really short.
