Sees Sights Lift (7/11)

  1. Thank you for the feedback. I plan to shoot the MPX next week at a carbine match.
  2. I need 5 Sig MPX factory basepads. I am hoping that someone who added +10 basepads to their mags has the factory base pads lying around and would like to get rid of them.
  3. Has anyone had experience with the Thrill Gen-2 35-rd MPX magazines? Are they 100% reliable? Does anyone wow if they can accept the Taylor freelance +10 base pads? Thanks, CS
  4. I made a terrible first cut with the dremmel. The cutting blade was melting the grip. I smoothed it out with 120 grit sand paper and finished it with 220. Thank you for the link.
  5. I recently got an X-Compact P320, but the grip is a little too short for me. I would like to find a mag well for it to add a little more grip for my pinky, but I haven't been able to find one. So, until then, I decided to modify a spare full-size grip that I had lying around to match the length of the X-Compact slide. I was inspired by a thread that I read earlier on this forum, but I could not find it again to post my results, so I had to start a new one. Sorry for the duplication. Here are the rough DIY results:
  6. That is clever! I bet you could sell some of those--especially if they are cheaper than the LPA front sight. My front sight is so tight I can barely get it out.
  7. I guess I was using the wrong term. When I think Strong Hand reload, I think of keeping your strong hand on the grip while you use the palm of your weak hand to eject the moonclip and insert another clip. This is what would cause the holes in your weak hand palm. What I referred to as the Miculek, FBI, or weak hand reload is opening the cylinder and transferring the gun to your weak hand simultaneously, then ejecting the moon with your weak hand thumb and inserting a new moon with your strong hand. This is the position that would cause your weak hand index finger to come in contact with the forcing cone. I was thinking that the name comes from the hand that is holding the gun, but I see now that it makes more sense to name a reload after the hand that is actually doing the reloading of the cylinder.
  8. In my 627, I have always used 170 grain bullets with 3.3 grains of Clays in Long Colt brass. It's fairly clean, and there is less muzzle flip with a heavy bullet going more slowly. I also don't clean my gun until the leading around the forcing cone or on the cylinder starts to make it stick. lol
  9. That takes the "speed" out of speedloader.
  10. That is an awesome pic from a cool angle! Especially with the backlit smoke! The guys I know who wear the gloves usually do a "strong hand" reload, and they wear it to protect their weak hand palm when they slap the ejector rod. I have seen a lot of guys get holes punched into their palm from over aggressive ejecting or from trying to remove a sticky moonclip. The other benefit would be to protect against the hot cylinder and especially the forcing cone, but that is only if you perform the "FBI" or "Miculek" or "weak hand" reload.
  11. Once fired 223 nickel brass, I will take a box at $85 shipped.

      I've never gotten a message like this on my profile before.  If you use messages, I will get an email notification. I sent you a text.

  12. I know "drop-in" is a relative term, but I hope that it really does drop in without any fitting.
  13. Yes, a smashed .223 case mouth works great for that area! a 30-06 case gives you more of a handle, but I think its a little thicker than the gap between the cone and the back strap.
  14. I haven't done anything to my Legion trigger, and I don't need it any lighter, but I would definitely appreciate a crisper break and a shorter reset. What kit or trigger should I get for just a crisper break?
