The ORG is a S-show and we all know it.
We love shooting an organized competition with published rules that are the same across the country. Some of us enjoy comparing ourselves to the best at a nation or area event. It's pretty simple.
But when those elected to run all this lose sight of what the place was built to do and instead show their lack of ability to do the job.
Now it appears the chickens are staring to come home to roost. It's sad but I doubt anything will change.

My suggestion would be Jeff @ Tommy Guns
He has done some work for me that was above and beyond what I hoped for.
-
Montana Gold or RMR for jacketed
Xteme or Berrys for plated
Summit or Blue for coated
I'm contemplating casting and coating my own because I have accumulated 1000 pounds of lead. What is that, 60K 115gr bullets ?

Give Jeff Abernathy at Tommy Guns a call. He does great work and fast turn around.
I'll second this -

I have had. a couple pair. I don't think it's worth the upgrade over regular disposable plugs.
My take as well - they are good back up though - better than nothing

Was not a fan. Custom plugs are much better for ~$100.
The ones I got were like $ 30

I have used them. They work as advertised.
I find the cheap foam plugs to be the most comfortable for me though so I have these in the range bag as back-ups.

The Frankfort Arsenal 10 station press might be pretty great if it ever comes out at the price that it has been listed for. It's been rumored for a long time.
They just shipped 50 of them - first run to get all the bugs out.
Initial reports are positive. There are a couple or Facebook Groups discussing them.

If it won't case gauge or pass the plunk test then it hasn't been crimped enough.
Keep turning the crimp die down until it does.
And listen to Shred ^ He knows what he's talking about.

1911 45ACP mags are not nearly as finicky as the 40s or 9s are.
Wilson, Tripp & McCormick mags all work - haven't tried the Dawson in 45 but can't see why they wouldn't.

115gr Blazer Brass is $ 300 / K shipped to CA
My cost to reload using range brass is about $ 175
I'll keep reloading

Reach out to Bob at Brazos and ask what his dimensions are.

I like my FW stuff.
The shell plates can be problematic and that has been well documented ; it is all due to the index pawl. I've run both the FW & TNT plates and they both work just fine.
I upgraded the roller bolt and plunger cam from Immorto and that has made a huge difference. I also use the caliber specific case pusher covers.
And of course the Dram Worx hopper.

I’m curious as to what it actually failed on, lots of mods are now allowed in that division.
Don't quote me but I think the gun didn't fit the box.

I heard all about it - glad I missed it

I got to play waith a couple of the mags in my CGW griped STI steel challenge gun.
Both the 140 & 170 were flawless. The gun runs MBX and Staccato mags just fine and these 2 were the same.
Basepads come off easy and the TTI pads go on fine - didn't play with any followers/springs. Mostly becasue they worked out of the package so why ?
-
Jeff Abernathy at Tommy Guns installed a couple of rackers for me. Turnaround was quick, price was fair and I was supper happy with the work.

Haven't we heard this before ?

Making GM seems to be pretty straightforward as it's all about classifiers. If the GM or M is what you want, hone those skills needed to shoot good classifier scores.
And no, you aren't too old. How's your eye sight ?

Merlin !
Welcome back - how have you been ?

IMHO, a comp on a sub-minor open gun is not needed ; all for looks.
A bushing barreled 2011/1911 will work just fine. This is still a bit of a work in progress but it runs 100 pf loads just fine. Balances wonderfully.
For the life of me I can't remember why it has ambi's.

i understand the SC argument against major, but i've both used and read a lot of SRP in 9major. forgive me for asking, but why is it not a good idea?

It’s because it’s the only pistol I have and I use it mostly for USPSA. Thanks
I understand the gun part but it sounds like you are using major PF ammo to shoot SC. That is overkill and counter productive.

Looks like Expansion Industries is starting to get primers out for testing.
