  1. I used a pair of Vise Grips like these and made small adjustments until I got the magazine to start feeding properly. It would be very easy to overdue it and wreck a magazine.
  2. I ran into this same problem when I had my Czechmate. I found that they used the same specs for the control rib on the 40 as they do on the 9. I put some information in the thread below that helped me tune them to run properly with 28-29 rounds in the big stick with CZ Custom and 24 rounds in the short sticks. http://forums.brianenos.com/index.php?showtopic=171986&hl=%2Bczechmate+%2Bmag#entry1905648
  3. I have had the best and most consistent results with the CED M2 chrono.
  4. Thanks for the information. I would ultimately like to get a full size bridgeport mill but it is out of the budget right now.
  5. Hey all, I am looking into adding a drill press to the home tool arsenal for some light duty gunsmithing projects and other around the house projects. Also what model of vise would you recommend? Looking for some opinions before buying to make sure I don't end up with a pile...
  6. What about the 014? I tried the 014 when I had my Czechmate and it was very tight where the holster holds the trigger guard. Like, couldn't get the gun out on occasion tight. I had the best results with the Racemaster holster.
  7. I haven't tried using CCI primers in my TS but I haven't had any issues with Winchester. The TS and I have is in 40 and has factory hammer, hammer spring, and firing pin. Unless there is something not working right on yours you shouldn't have any issues.
  8. Another point of failure could be the primer tube mount not being lined up with the primer slide when the slide is fully back. I found after fixing all of what has been mentioned above I was still having problems. With the slide fully back shine a light between the slide and the primer tube and look down the primer tube from above and check alignment. If necessary loosen the two Allen screws and move the primer tube holder so it aligns perfectly to drop the primers straight down into the slide. This may not be your issue but it is something else to look at.
  9. I see this is an old thread but I will share my experience for someone who may be searching for information. I bought a lightly used EMP in 40 for good price, person told me the gun ran fine. Took it out and every second or third round wouldn't eject (case was still stuck in the chamber). I checked the tension of the extractor with an empty case and found there was no tension on it and the case would fall out by just rotating the slide. I tensioned the extractor so the case would hold and haven't had a problem in over 500 rounds since. I have used premium defense ammo and cheap range ammo with all three factory magazine. Hopefully this helps someone out there.
  10. The marking whisker spikes work really well, but they do need to be replaced from time to time due to the uv deterioration from the sun. The club I shoot at even color codes them to the size of plate. Makes set up a breeze.
  11. Has anyone shot groups with them and is there any smoking? I am thinking of switching to coated bullets for practice.
  12. Let's stir the pot a little.... Should there be an asterisk next to Wolfe's win because Jerry wasn't there?
  13. I heard S&W took Jerry's back. Doesn't bode well for us looking for one of these full race revos.
  14. Is anybody using N310 with heavy bullets (158, 160, 170) in 38 special to make minor? I can find N310 but not anything else I normally use. Before I spend the money I want to know if its usable.
  15. I shot this club match the OP is describing and watched this occur. It wasn't a poor match design it was poor ROing. The RO took the clock with description from the precious RO and failed to follow the directions and move back at the proper times. He ended up trapping three shooters the same way, someone else took the clock and all was good.
  16. 99% of lawyers give the other 1% a bad reputation!!!
  17. Who makes the best hand warmers? Have been using Hot Hands brand when temps drop but lately they have been hit or miss if they even warm up.
  18. Alcohol, tobacco, and firearms shouldn't be a government agency it should be a convenience store!!!!
  19. Has anybody tried N310 with heavy bullets i.e. 160 or 170 gr. to make minor power factor?
  20. A friends order for 124 jhp placed in April came in a couple of weeks ago.
  21. Let's look at everything overall. Nothing has changed except for a standalone nationals. Everything on levels below that is still the same. I think there needs to be a change if USPSA is actually looking to boost numbers in the division. I believe the vote to provisionally allow 8 shots in the division is coming up, might want to talk to your directors to show your support of however you feel.
  22. Multiple bullets in stock now
  23. I haven't looked lately but there used to be a video of Saul showing how to modify the SP-01 block for a tactical sport on the DAA website. If you follow that video you shouldn't have any problems. As far as the mag pouches I don't know as I haven't used them.
  24. Sad day. A true ambassador to the shooting sports. My prayers to his family.
  25. The control rib that the pointer is at is the one you are concerned about. I started at the small black mark that I put on the magazine that you can see in the pic and worked my way up. My best results occurred when I bent it in to 0.500-0.509" measured at the top of the control rib and on the outside of the magazine.
