I've been shooting 8grs Acuurate #5 125 gr blue bullet. 174 power factor. I don't see any signs of high pressure. Seems to work well. To fast of a powder?

Ammo-I shoot 125 gr blue round nose bullets. Range picked up brass with whatever powder and primers I can find. OAL 1.120 I changed three springs. The recoil spring to a 16 lbs. The strikers spring to a Glock 6 lbs spring. The extractor spring to a CZ extra power spring with 0.6 cut off. Works great!

I have had two open gun slides crack. One was a STI DVC 9mm and the other was a custom open gun also in 9mm. Not a lot of round on either one. I was using a 12 lb recoil spring. My question is would a heavy recoil spring decrease the life span of a slide? Would going to a lighter recoil spring help?

Awesome advise!!!! I just shot 200 rounds. Not one failure. Thank you so much!

Great info!! Thanks.

What do you guys think about the new division rules- ssp increase to 15 rounds, ccp increased to 10 rounds?

How much does it weight?

Wow. Good to know.

Maybe try an AOL of 1.170 or longer? The rounds might hit the feed ramp before nose diving.

Definitely a mag problem. Feed lips to wide?

Does the magazine drop a little after being inserted? If the magazine drops (is loose) the slide will hit the top of the round causing the round to nose dive. Just a thought.

Wow! Nice.

Will do. Thanks.

Wow. I would be very happy if I could get 100,000 rounds out of my gun.

I think I will when my open gun has had enough.

If I can get 60,000 rounds out of mine I would be very happy. Time will tell.

Yep. It would be nice but there so expensive.

STI DVC 9MM. I currently have about 30,000 rounds through it. It runs great.

Thanks.

How long can I expect my open gun to last? 100,000-200,000 rounds? When should I buy a new one? How long has your open lasted?

Thanks.

I have a Kimber stainless 2 in a 40 s&w. Can I put a 9mm barrel in it?

How much of a disadvantage would it be to run 9 round mags in ESP? I always shoot to slide lock. I want to shoot my 40 S&W Kimber in ESP. I've tried to run 10 round mags and they are not reliable.

Is an STI edge legal in IDPA ESP?

I'm sure there will be a lot discussion the first few times. That's why I wanted to be sure about the rules.
