Grease does a great job of retaining debris ( spent powder, brass particles, dust, etc) and turning into a lapping compound…. Also, if you shoot in a cold weather environment you have to be meticulous about cleaning it all out…

Check your mags for longest OAL they’ll accept and load to just less than that for OAL, work your load up from there. Yes, you will be above published specs so you need to check for overpressure signs as should always be the case. My limited chamber easily accepted 1.20” but that required 10mm mags. With .40 mags your probably closer to 1.16” depending on bullet profile. Use the search box, you will find a ton of .40 load data using N320, very popular powder.

By your own admission, your preference is a 1911 platform.. With that my recommendation would be to bite the bullet and just get a 2011 Limited gun. There’s a good probability that the purchase of anything else in the interim will just prolong getting what you want.

Manually feeding bullets around that case feed pole looks like a pain. Bullet feeder will take care of that though…

You will have best results if you don’t mix brass. I found my TK customs steel clips ran best with Winchester brass so I parse them out of my brass pile for use in the 929.

For that price, Buy it and run the heck out of it. If you decide it’s not for you, in todays market you can sell for a profit easily. No brainer

His mark is probably higher up because he is getting as high on the grip as possible and rotating the wrist forward as much as possible . This rotates the meaty part of your palm higher…. As you noted, strong hand grips just tight enough to insure smooth trigger movement. Weak hand, grip it like your trying to kill it!!

Aaah, maybe he should have his fingers crossed…

Whatever works. For some reason when I pick up my 929 to shoot my week thumb automatically goes up and crosses my other thumb. It just seemed natural even though it’s not a big bore snubby…. It just works best for me.

If you send it in it could come back worse. My original cylinder was fine but when I sent the gun in for work due to cylinder hitting frame and it came back with a new cylinder measuring like yours. I run 160 Gr .358 and accuracy is not an issue..

I use a Hundo gauge to post case gauge so when it’s full I just run a Large Magnum sharpie across the bases. This also highlights any high primers. Red for Major loads and Black on my regular loads. Takes about 20sec per 100. Does leave you with a nice rainbow f colors on the Hundo block to clean later but that’s easy..

Excellent first post!! Welcome to the forum! Continue to hit the matches and you’ll become more comfortable which will allow you to then focus on what you need to do better. Make friends on the squads you shoot and advice will come freely.. Enjoy the sport!

Send it back.

I’ve simplified this. When using a Hundo case gauge I run an MAGNUM fat sharpie across all rows of cases with little pressure. If the primer turns Red (The color I use) the primer isn’t deep enough and I pull and run thru the seater again. Also makes it easy to tell my case at the range.

Will they work in this?

Never came close to top in a match but I did take a classifier stage in NY. Having 8 rounds in a 10rnd state on a simple Classifier helps even the field

There are probably a hundred variables as a push button switch wears with use, different manufacturers, finger pressure, a delay set, the R.O. Ring hitting the case etc., etc. As noted, the Beep itself is the start so if you can detect the button or another sound, that is not the audible start.

Another factor to consider is if you have any occurrence of bullet setback it could be bad..

Ive had to make adjustment to my MBF when going from The V1 cone shape to other RN profile Bullets in the past. Another reason why I prefer to stick with V1 profile. I’m sure there is a happy mid set up that would work just saw a few upside down I don’t see with the PD V1.

Oh No, Now Your going to have all the Revo competitors googling your address and knocking at your door!! Don’t get too worried though, that’s only about 10 people

Maybe MLB baseball should switch to using a T-Ball and an aluminum bat so everybody can play..

I feel they are as good as Zero as well as Montana Gold. Have had no complaints with V1, haven’t tried V2 yet…

Friggin hilarious!!!
