That comp looks it works better than my V6 on the Lynx.
-
I am just getting started in open and have been practicing with minor loads I have for carry optics (130pf) I have a load for major pf of 6.8 WAC with 124 Precision Delta bullets @1.160" Should I load some practice rounds somewhere between these two or just practice with the major loads. I don't mind leaving the brass after it has been loaded to major PF.

I have a SPS Vista Short. Does anyone know what the screw size that holds the optic mount in place on the frame? I've been told that most open guns are 5-40 but these are not 5-40.

I used the ones that came with the gun. I think they are metric

I just finished building my open shotgun and looks like I am going to have have one of these too.

I am using the V6 brake from CSS. Unbelievable recoil reduction.

I picked up one of these from Centerfire Systems when they had a deal where you bought one, and you got an SAS12 for free.
I've only taken to the range once so far, and was only able to shoot slugs, but no issues and it shot great. Overall I was impressed.
Been thinking about making some changes, but it's really just a range toy for me, at this time, so hard to justify the cost right now. I'm sure I will at some point.
How do you like the magwell?
The magwell works great. You have to modify the mags but this is a fairly simple job. Is you gas setting on 4? It should cycle normal 1200 fps shells out of the box. Also check to see if the dust cover is contacting the bolt when it is at the back of its travel. I had to work on this area.

I am satisfied so far with my SPS Vista short 9mm. With mags and optic I am under $2500
-
Anyone else using these red dots. I have them on 3 different guns and they all have worked great until today. I was shooting a match using my CO pistol and the dot quit working. Changed batteries but it didn't help. It has a lifetime warranty but that doesn't help when your in the middle of a stage.

I went with STI mags and they were flawless out of the box. I will be changing the springs and followers to TTI to hold more rounds but I'm impressed so far.

Thanks for the info. I just got mine last week and will probably run it stock for now. It seems extremely tight but functions as it should.

Here is the cheely Set back with DPP. Also the DAA thumbrest. great mount!!! The Everglades mount is great to but it’s closer to the slide. Might touch the round top slide.
What grip are you using and what size are the bleeder holes in the comp?

That looks good and has a blast shield.
I will post a pic later today

I used the Atlas mount. Worked out great and the optic mounts without a plate
-
So far I have gone 400rds. I clean my guns regularly. I would expect I could go 5-700 rds without an issue

I don’t have a vista, but I have an SPS Pantera. My Sps mags run 100%. But 40 is much much less finiky then 9mm. Much easier to make a 40 and it’s mags run well in a 2011. It’s totally possible that 9mm sps mags will work just as well as my 40 mags do.
But why bother when sti cost exactly the same, assuming you’re going to change the guts and basepads. I changed out the guts in mine as the follower that comes in it are total crap. SPS mag is 57-90 dollars depending which one you buy. 18 for springs and followers and 30ish for a basepad. Sti mag tube is 59, 18 for guts and 30ish for a basepad. So the price is the same. One thing I can say about the difference is the sti mags are much more stout. The metal seems harder and a bit thicker. They’ll hold there shape much longer, and have a longer overall lifespan. And another thing, the new Sti mags run straight out of the package, no feed lip or body dimension tuning needed. Most people have to tune their sps mags.
Definitely utilize the 2 mags that come with the gun though. They’re a lot like the old and very desiresable Svi mags, they can possibly hold one more round then sti. The 140s that comes with it with a taran 7mm and the taran ultra thin follower they’ll hold minimum 25, if not 26rds. But like I said the basepad and sprIng an follower that comes with the mag are junk.
Thanks for the detailed information. I am ordering STI mags.

As far as changes for the first 10000 rounds no other than the POS mount it comes with. I put a90 degree mount on it. Last season I replaced the fire control with cylender and slide kit installed an sti grip and Dawson mag well aftc extractor had 2 holes added to the barrel
Did the popple holes make a big difference.
Practice Loads?
in Open Pistols

I also shoot a lot of 3 gun matches. That is another reason I am considering different loads. I have ran some drills with both loads and really can't see any difference in my times.
