[PT steel grip main spring housing]

I bought the main spring housing from Dawson Precision and it went on with no fitting needed.

[What's the hot setup for 2011 mags these days?]

Give MBX a shot. If it doesn't work Adrian Cobb will make it right. He's been very responsive and helpful in my experience.

+1. I have to send a 170mm mag back because it didn't work in my open gun. Adrian worked with me to try and get it working but my gun just doesn't like it (nothing wrong with the mag). As the others have said you can't go wrong.

[7 Shooters you Know Video]

That was funny.

[C-More RTS 2 Holding Zero]

No problem with mine.

[9mm minor with HS6]

Your gun will be extremely dirty but it will be a soft shooting load.

[Bbi 125gr for 9mm major with comp.]

The only reason I am not using them now is my barrel is a tight .355 and the bullets were .356.

This is exactly why they are accurate and fast. This is ideal

Now that you say it, it does make sense. Thanks Sarge.

[Bbi 125gr for 9mm major with comp.]

I have used them in an open gun and they were good to go. The only reason I am not using them now is my barrel is a tight .355 and the bullets were .356. I had no problem and they were very accurate. They are also very fast bullets in an open gun. When I use up my current lot of MG 124 JHP, I will be switching back to BBI.

[ESP division?]

The Glock is very easy to reload thanks to the plastic gun and plastic mag. The CZ , S&W, XDM etc not so much. If you use a mag well then the advantage is lost. The trigger will never be as good as 1911 or CZ. I want to use my talents and equipment to the best advantage. Its just my opinion but the Glock is best in SSP. In the end it is always the Indian and not the bow and arrow.

A Dawson Ice magwell on a Glock make reloads easier. I know a lot of people who shot Glocks in Limited and you should see their reloads. Look at Shane Coley's videos.

[Mags for CK Arms Open]

I'm in the same boat as you Qoo only I have purchased a Akai with STI frame & SVI barrel not sure about the slide and it came with only 2 mags (170&140) so I need to add 1 or 2 mags least to say. I wonder which way to go? Thanks

I have an Akai also, run the Brazos Super Tuned or SV mags. You can not go wrong with the Brazos mags. I have 6 of them and they haven't failed me yet. I bought a MBX mag and I have had nothing but trouble with it. First it wouldn't drop free and now it won't feed properly. I think it is the spring and the follower but I'll play with it later.

[Pictorial Comparison RTS2 vs Deltapoint Pro]

I have the RTS2 on a Akai Custom and it has stood up nicely. I ran it in the FL Open without any issues. There was one stage that was dusty and this thing was clear and bright unlike my old slide ride. I must admit the DP Pro looks interesting but I will stick with the RTS2.

As mentioned earlier the slide ride is not perfect. On my first open gun I went through about three of them in one season; cracked diodes, bad circuit board and not holding zero every time the battery was changed and during a match. I have none of these problems now.

[Which firing pin?]

+1 for the Henning FP. It just works!!

[more mag capacity in 170mm STI mag]

+1 for TTI 4G base pads - def allows additional space.

-1 on Dawson SNL (sometimes not legal). From what I've experienced, they are mostly not legal and require grinding to fit the gauge

-1 for MBX - when fully loaded with their spring follower (with 9mm or 38S) bullets def roll and malfunction. Better with the new TTI internals.

Another -1 for MBX: 38S loaded to OAL 1.253 (within sammi) had problems feeding because MBX tube deminsions; I called MBX, he said "change your loads for my mags"?!?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I use the Dawson SNL and they are all legal. What tubes were being used? I use STI tubes. Truthfully, the STI tubes with TTI internals and a Dawson basepad will get 28 and 22 for 9mm Major. The only problem I have seen with TTI basepads are that sometimes the basepads are not flush with the bottom of the tube.

[more mag capacity in 170mm STI mag]

With a Dawson +1 SNL base pad and TTI followers and springs, I can get 29 but I stop at 28 + 1. I know some guys get 30 but I'm not going to push it. I have a MBX mag coming and I am going to see how 30 works in that one.

[RTS2 mount Loctite or no Loctite?]

What they said.....or you will have a loose sight. Just don't ask me how I know....

+1, at Nationals.

[CFE Pistol powder for Open]

+1 on what bradsteimel just said.

[Slide freezing?]

Picture of the frame

By any chance did you change the mount screws on the C-More? They are two long!!! Those screws should be flush with the frame.

Don't shoot the gun until you or a smith corrects those screws.

Yeah I added a GoGuns Gas peddle. The screws need to be shortened a bit but its not as bad as it looks in the picture. I think it looks worse due to the shadows and oil. In any event, the problem predates adding the gas peddle though and there are no marks on the screw tips indicating that they are making contact.

+1 on this. Check your slide to see if it has any grooves dug into it by the long screws. Just a thought.

[Giving 9 major a 2nd look.]

83 in S Florida, Man fall is apon us! Lol

I feel like I need to break out my coat and gloves.....lol.

[How flat IS "flat" shooting]

Pretty flat from both. The super slow mo at about 40 seconds I could believe the dot staying in the glass.

Don't forget they are shooting steel loads.

[Giving 9 major a 2nd look.]

BiggMike,

What gun are you using to get the above data, please? Length barrel, type comp, Popple holes, etc.

Thanks,

Suprisingly, these numbers match on two seperate guns. Those numbers came from a Trubor I had. 5 inch with no popple holes. Currently, I am shooting a CK Arms Blackout, 5 in barrel, 3 popple holes and I think a CCG comp, 4 vents. The PF was pretty much the same. Here are some chrono results from my CK open gun using 8.1 and 8.3 grs. this was shot in south Florida and the outside temp was about 83 degrees.

[Giving 9 major a 2nd look.]

Hello all. I had a 9 maj glock and liked it but I switched to a 2011 in 38 supercomp and never looked back.

So I have a hand full of 124g bullets and several thousand 115g.

Looking for 9mm major data. I will start low and use a chrono.

Just looking for the go to loads.

Thanks all!

I know these are good for 9mm major. What's your favorite recipe? It will be shot out of a trubor.

Thank you.

8.1gr HS-6, 124gr MG CMJ, 1.160, 173PF.

[Who Runs Open Minor PF?]

I run a full size open gun with a TruBore barrel and shoot both minor and major through it without an issue. just a spring swap and I am GTG.

What springs are you using for minor. I'm trying to help someone out.

[HS-6 or Autocomp powder for 115"s 9mm major?]

HS6 all day long!

+1

[Major load for CK arms 9mm]

I have the hardcore blacked out and my bullet recipe is 124gr MG CMJ, 8.1gr HS-6, 1.160 oal. With the comp and three poople holes I am getting about 173pf.

Thanks! Is there a big difference between CMJ and FMJ regarding reloading?

You will get virtually no smoke with the CMJ's. Some FMJ's have the exposed lead base that will smoke when fired.

[HS-6 or Autocomp powder for 115"s 9mm major?]

I am thinking about switching to 115's from 124's. I load my 124's at 1.160, what is a good length for 115's?

[Starting the open journey - 9 major]

I'm beginning the same journey. Waiting on a Dan Bedell 9mm Major delivery. Have 8# of HS6 on hand and 5K Win small rifle primers. Ordered 1000 Black Bullet International 125gr bullets. I love the whole process of load development, spring selection etc..... Will be my first go round for sight mount selection, dot module, popple holes.

I use BBI also, my recipe is 125gr BBI, 8.0gr HS-6, 1.160 oal.
