  1. Charlie, curious if you have had a chance to test out the new Atlas magazines in 40SW.  If so, are you ready to switch from the MBX’s?  I have made inquiries, but it sounds like IPSC legal versions will not be around until fall.  I would like to get another 6 mags and don’t know if I will order MBX or wait for ATLAS.

      I don't use Shock Buff's. I don't like how they feel and they add another potential failure mode. I have seen many people using Shock Buffs too long and they start to expand or flatten out and it slows down the slide movement. You may have been experiencing a Shock Buff failure that lead to the slowing down of the slide during your match.

       

      The other thing to consider is if you are using an oil that "runs out" or "dries up" in less than 1000 rounds, then you are using the wrong lube. Lucas Oil Extreme Duty gun oil is great for providing optimal lubrication over many thousands of rounds before needing to add more lube.

      I haven't had a chance to try the 40SW Atlas Mags yet so I can't give you any recommendations on them. I have only tested the 140mm Atlas 9mm mags so far and they work great.

       

      Until the Atlas mags come out I will keep using my MBX 40SW mags as they work great and have for many years.

  3. Hi,

     

    I have a very small frame and hands in my 70 year old body.  I wish I had gorilla hands like some friends I shoot with. It can be a real chore to keep the thing flat.

     

    Would you happen to know the optimum angle for each hole?

     

    Thanks

      I would suggest you ask a  gunsmith that already does “V” style popple holes. It’s not as simple as going to town on it with a drill press.

  4. I recently went to check out the Bul  barrels  fit in few guns and you are right about what you wrote. Probably an order load does its thing. 😉

    actually i ordered new radical with same fit that u describe .🙄

      It is what it is...... Have fun fitting a new barrel correctly.
