hi shooters ... here, in italy, I want to test major loads vv n310 and n320 powders
off course, n310 feel softer to shot, but a accurate test in a manometric station say the last word
using 180 grains plated bullets, n320 is in the range of pressure that's near limits of saami and cip pressure spec
n310 loads is always over these spec, a lot
adjuting oal to the maxximum accepted from the gun change only a little the question
faster powders ensure best speed costancy, softer shooting, but the correct working range of pressure is foundamental

Thanks a lot for the kind and positive sentiments everyone!
be
thanks to you brian ... like a wonderful film, every time I reread your beyond foundamentals, I learn new things ... strange, but no much for me, how a good job is actully also after 20 years
last summer, with my friend piero, I was looking for a teacher, a good teacher to find a direction, the right direction, after 4 experiences not totaly satisfacting, I order the book, and from then I never stop to study and trying its lessons ... still foundamental for all shooters
thanks brian

another exemple of I think about religious cleaning
if in one stage I hae to cheange a magazine, when it ends, beetwen two stages, I disassembly the magazine follen and clean it
I think that who says his gun is perfect also cleaned few time after K rounds, perhaps only before a important match, he doesn't admit it is so becouse his laziness ... no problem, everyone have own opinion, but I think it is not correct to say that the gun operate at the same reliability
-
I'm agree with chuck, josh and benny hill ... the pictures show a fitting problem ... mister, please, change your gunsmith too, he hasn't understud it and repet the error ... your load is ok, it's a wonderful standard load
-
kevin, if you can, try to clean the yellow brasses by tumbling them with lyman green and polish, then also the reloading operations are easy like the nickel ones

thanks bart

julien, excuse my english, but I know metals ... do you think that hard chrome look like stainless steel? ... it is not easy, but with experience you can see the difference ... however, I'm curious to know the truth ... can anyone ask it to sti?
-
From reading the description on the STI site I get the impression that the Executive is just an Edge with a hard chrome finish, (I could be wrong) but then I realize that a majority of the STIs being used in USPSA are Edges that have been hard chromed. So I gues my question is why not just start with the Executive rather than refinishing the Edge?
Do a search = Save time
Same gun, different cosmetics, higher price. You can get a tuned and hard chromed Edge for less than buying an Executive and that will still need to be tuned....making it even more expensive. So, you're paying more and getting nothing extra.
excuse me, but I agree with my friend joseph, all the sti executive I have touched by my hand were stainless steel frame and slide ... it may be only in italian distribution
in italy there is a particular edge model hard chrome finish
-
hi peter ... I know that executive model is in stainless steel and edge model is in hard steel ... I prefer the second one, more durabily ... you can upgrade this one with a fiber optic front sight and a traditional full lenght guide rod, SS or tungsten
-
in my opinion religious gun cleaning preserv duration, reliability and precision ... for exemple, try to count failures of cleaning men and no cleaning men ... in italy is "clear"!!

good info Bart. maybe it is time to rethink my old ways....Well, I will chime in with the other side. I clean my guns religiously. They get shot, they are cleaned. I have many Glocks with both factory and KKM barrels. Thousands of rounds through them. I have a Bedell .40 same thing. I have never seen an accuracy problem that covers at least a 5 year time frame and longer on some of them. My duty gun, a Glock 21, has more rounds through it than I could guess. It is at least ten years old and accuracy is the same.
I personally can't have a dirty gun. My take is that if I start having a problem, I will replace the barrel. In a Glock, most are drop in and if the STI goes bad, I will just get another fitted. I do not know how long that may take, but I will keep cleaning them and take the risk.

I clean my gun at every use, a lot of like only few shots ... I don't understand why shuemann say it, but my shuemann barrel after 30k shoot very accuracy

very interesting

... why don't you use a lee factory crimp die without its cap and internal crimp round?

Does anyone have any experience with Break Free CLP? I am considering picking up a bunch of the pre-soaked wipes to use for general cleaning of my 2011...
I recently picked up an American Gunsmithing Institute video - 1911 armorer's course - and the instructor (Bob Dunlap) recommended Break Free CLP above all others. In terms of lubricating the critical moving parts, I've already settled on my own blend of products (Mobil 1 synthetic mixed with some Lucas transmission lube), but for cleaning, my current process is disassembling the gun and using Cabela's gun oil-soaked wipes to wipe clean all the parts. But after hearing Bob Dunlap sing the praises of Break Free CLP, I was thinking of trying some of those pre-soaked wipes instead.
mineral spirits and a rag, a toothbrush and an air gunor skip the air gun.
IIRC, Dunlap partly likes Break Free CLP (Cleaner/Lubricant/Protectant) because of its lubricant qualities. You already have that covered. As far as a cleaning agent, I never really found it better than other agents designed specifically for cleaning. Even good old Hoppe's #9 seem to do as good a job. And for protecting the metal surfaces, frequent cleaning followed by application of any good oil will do the job until the next time.It's pretty good as an all in one product, and I still use it since I have a lot, but it's mainly a moving parts lube for me at this point.

I use break free clp only to lubricate becouse it is a synthetic lubricant with addition of teflon ... it really works very well, it soffers only heat so I add a little part of cooper grease with it ... my standard/limited gun from an italian custom gunsmith has 30k rounds and still tightning
for me the best product for competition gun, better the other my solution, synthetic oil for high performance gear with cooper grease

Did any of you see the shoot off @ FB3G? It was sponsored by FN (SLP), LaRue (rifle) & Para supplied the pistols. I believe Bruce Piatt had 4 re-shoots due to para malfs. Now, I am sure it isnt anything a gunsmith couldnt straighten out. It ought to be understood most guns need tweeked.
Any and every gun SHOULD have a break in period. The guns used in the shoot off at FB3G were brand new, unfired out of the box. Should have had a few hundred rounds fired through them before they went into a competition. When they were oiled up they ran OK and the shoot off was completed.
A factory Para's does not have as high of quality internals as an S_I and therefor they do not run as long before component(s) replacement is required. They also cost less than 50% of what an S_I gun costs. I have had several and found them to be good guns...for the money.
You pay your money and take your chances.
Just my .02.

... in my opinion there is another question, para HC guns have a steel frame, also caspian and springfields have this choice, now svi and sti can mount this ... to shoot it is a considerable difference
the only thing I hate in a para is the PXT, I don't understand why not a traditional size estractor after one hundred years of good service

I bought on brownells website a marvel ultimate jig and a stones set with ceramic one ... I have spent much time to learn, but now I can do a good job on all system colt triggers
settings of a trigger is simple if you know the effects of all parts in a trigger ... also good parts are needed for a good job
in my competition standard/limited gun I have a two pounds trigger with a personal set up, more than 25000 rounds through
-
....
Is the full length dust cover added on ? Never seen a Para with a frame like that. Cool!
yes fourtyfourty, is a one hundred grams of additional weight, welded

well allen,
the correct oal for your gun, you can find it by dummies rounds ... when you range the correct oal, the gun feeding show none esitation also with the slide gently moved by hand ... then you can adjust the load on your bullet

... patrick, we saw and we are here to say sorry for the forgetfulness!!
however, great gun!!

the dillon electronic scale is a very good scale, but, also, like all digital scale, it needs some attentions like stay in the room for same minute to ambient to the temperature and umidity ... I use it and I test it everytime before
the beam scale like rcbs is almost good to verify powder charges, but it takes more time to change its weight
0.2-0.3 grains of SD is not a good thing, I think, the dillon scale isn't zeroing
