I am also interested in how it was done and seeing a picture. I have considered doing mine but don't know exactly how.

Stupid question. Will the extractor from my RIA 9mm single stack interchange with my 9mm Hi Cap ? I’m planning on using my Hi Cap for a 3 gun on Sunday and am looking to take a back up extractor
Yes, they should be identical

I got the Arredondo pads today and get 21 rounds of 9mm and 18 rounds of 40 cal. I called Arredondo and confirmed this is correct.
Basically you get one less round than the Dawson pads.

Thats too bad.
So Arredondo is the only option left for base pads it seems.
Does anyone know if the Arredondos offer the same capacity as the Dawsons?
I will know when my Arrendondo pads arrive later today.

Does anybody know if the SV/ STI Dawson basepads will fit the para/mecgar mags? I realize they usually have pads for Para only, but just not familiar with the difference if there is one. With the Dawson Para pads being out of stock I guess the Arredondo's would be a decent choice( actually the only other choice I can find), just wonder how well they hold up. Thanks
I was told by Dawson that the Para style pads were discontinued permanently.

I tried out the Remington and RIA magazines with Arredondo extensions last night. I am now able to fit 22 rounds into the Remington magazines, and they ran without a hitch.
I'm still at 21 with the RIA. And the RIA won't fit into the gun when it's full. Downloading it to 10 and it works. I'll have to switch out the magazine extension to the original.
What Arredondo extensions did you use. I only see the STI version listed.

I bought one and find the 8x very useful at 200yds + The glass is clear and the holdover is on point with 55gr ammo

My Stag Arms barrel had to be replaced at about 10k rounds

All the guys running the Pro Match .40, what brand safeties have you swapped to?
I use a Wilson Combat on both my 9mm and .40

My RIA 40 runs much better with longer loads. 1.180 I installed a Wilson Bulletproof extractor and ejector in mine.
-
Mine works great with MecGar mags with Dawson base pads and Grams followers. I tuned them to not lock back as I rarely do a slide lock reload.

How do I get one?
I would like to buy one also. Who sales them.

147 extreme with 3.2 of titegroup at 1.135.
Cycles well but is dirty. 100yd groups are about 3in

I cut the rail back to the same length as a short dust cover, using a full length aluminum guide rod. I am right on the weight limit. I plan to take some material from under the grips also. I almost never shoot IDPA anymore so making weight has not been a priority.
-
I shortened mine to the same length as a short dust cover and use an aluminum guide rod to make weight.

My M3K cycles everything from low recoil Estate (1080fps) full power slugs. I use 1200 fps Federal for most of my shooting.

I used to have a RIA TCM. i need to upgrade everything inside just to make it run flawlessly.
I have never seen a "flawless" gun. Even Glocks have issues and they are by far the most flawless guns on the market.

Sorry to hear that, but I guess it's what to expect from RIA, I put a new KKM barrel in mine, new gun.
I talked with Benny at Triangle Shooting Sports last week about doing several upgrades on mine, one of which was a new KKM or Kart barrel.
-
I spent a lot of time and money looking for a magic load and finally realized it was more fun to shoot than load. I use the same load as you for 9 mms and also use TG for my major load 40. Every powder I used had positives and negatives. TG is good but not perfect.
-
I had to send my 40 back to the factory for accuracy issues and they replaced the barrel. They found that the lock up was not correct. The gun now shoots 2in groups at 20 yrs offhand.

Has anyone tried the 1080fps Herters shells? I use them in my o/u and ran a box thru my M3K without any issues but still don't trust them to use in a match. Most of the guys I shoot with only run 1200fps shells and higher.
-
I had this problem with one of my 2011's and had too much tension on the extractor. The round was binding on the breech face from the extractor.

I clean mine before every match. It just seems like the right thing to do

I run a skeet 80% of the time an a LM when shooting spinners and such.
