  1. Oof. Those would be spendy. Brass would probably be close enough for as thick as the grips are.

    Romeo 1 Pro

    Same bolt pattern and size as a DPP, but doesn't have any locator boss/pin pockets in the underside. So if you have a mount/gun where those are integral, the R1Pro won't fit without modifying something
  3. This should be very interesting. Any timeline from the mfg of the aluminum module? My recently renewed interest in my 320s has me searching again for a Faxon compact threaded barrel in stock; I have a PMM comp waiting, but forgot about it for a while.
  4. The Talon grit tape seems to be close to 60 grit SC when applied to a 320 frame, at least in my experience
  5. What dot are you using? If it's one with a lifetime/vip warranty, then I'd say try it for a while and see how it goes
  6. Especially on a smoker where the item is probably much closer to the element. We had to adjust the element output (on an industrial powder coat oven) so that it wasn't overheating; I think it ended up at like 25% of total output so they're running almost constantly, but not cycling up so hot and causing temp inconsistencies. Didn't think of that, but I bet it's causing surface temps to be too high
  7. Have you checked your oven temp? Hardener ratio correct? Hardener is still good? I've only ever seen flaking like that if the base was cured too long; is the rest of the later adhered well, or can you pick it off?
  8. Define "hit or miss", please. What's occurring? Are you getting peeling off of the base surface, or lifting the newly applied color when removing stencils?
  9. It's legal in ESP, just not SSP. I use it on my production X5 and shoot ESP with it in IDPA.
  10. Playing with an A01 and Accu2 side by side, the trigger felt more smooth on the A01 and the balance was different. My large hands preferred the Shadow, but the 01 was almost as comfortable. Obviously the bull barrel and extra weight can go either way, depending on your preference
  11. That sounds like a good start. Do you have a measurable difference in mag body width after the squish?

    320 X5 Questions

    For grip treatment I could see problems getting any real weight, sure. I'd be curious about using in conjunction with a thin adhesive to make a replacement grip weight; sort of like a cold cast statue.

    320 X5 Questions

    Dan, what about using tungsten powder used f for weighting golf club handles? Not sure what availability is like in Australia, but it's pretty prevalent in the states. There's a standard weight, which is about like lead powder, and the more dense variety.
  14. With the slide off, can you duplicate the problem? Are you sure the gun is reassembled correctly? I'm not trying to be critical, but if something is not back together correctly, or say something is sticking out where it shouldn't be, that will cause issues.
  15. It's entirely possible that your new hook height is causing the sear to hit the safety/half cock notch on the hammer. Similar to having an overtravel screw adjusted incorrectly. If you pull the trigger until the hammer just releases, and then manually lower the hammer, do you feel it catching a little on the stroke?
  16. One of the benefits of the P10F, if you want to think of it this way, is that a backup or replacement firearm isn't nearly the investment another SP01 or Shadow would be. If you're going to switch, makes sense to do it before Area 4 if you have the time to acclimate to the striker from DA/SA
  17. I would assume the tube clamp socket would be the Nordic one designed for the clamp, but I could be wrong. TTI and GG&G both make stock plates with a QD socket.
  18. For multiple holsters on my Open/3 Gun ELS belt, I use the Safariland QLS brackets and forks. Like the ELS, but sized larger for holster mounting
  19. You might be able to make weight and shoot in ESP with some creative internal modification/weight removal, but it's probably in the extreme end of the cost/benefit scale. It's been done with a Dan Wesson PM-C for CCP, but that was only about 1.5oz. over with a mag.
  20. That's terrible. Unless the gunsmith has an epiphany and realizes that "creepy" and "crisp" are not synonymous, I would push for a refund.
  21. Offhand, it might be possible that the extended barrel won't be able to drop in the slide with the tighter fit bushing. The 10X bushing does make seating the barrel in the slide fully more of an exercise with some slides.
  22. If it's Cajunized, did you install the new hammer pins that Cajun has? They're designed to work with their hammer. If you can push the pin back in by hand, it's not tight enough in the hole.
  23. That looks like the screw on the rear of the barrel for the ejector assembly. Just had one apart to Cerakote. If that's missing, the spring and ejector itself are likely gone as well. Parts 14-16 on this page Numrich Gun Parts
  24. It has been opened up to accommodate quad loading, but not lengthened much at all
  25. I shoot an original SBE and don't feel disadvantaged at all in matches. The larger port for 3.5" loads actually feels somewhat nicer to me. The difference between the two, other than 3" vs. 3.5", is the receiver/barrel design. The M2 is a one piece receiver, the SBE is a 2 piece with the upper half attached to the barrel.
