Kkm has a 5" oal with .400 of threads. Or you can just start with a 5" barrel and thread it yourself if you have a lathe.
-
I use a rubber mallet and moderately tap on the bottom of the barrel lugs. You'll hear it ping each time because the barrel lugs are slapping the slide lugs. You'll also easily see the marks left and the top of the muzzle end. As you get closer to fitting you'll notice this "ping" goes away because the springing is no longer pushing the barrel out of lockup. Measure your lockup at the top of the slide to the top of the barrel hood. If your dimension changes when you are pushing it into lockup and releasing the pressure you know it's still springing.

They make the unconventional HD extractor and the Standard extractor. If you had to remove material from the tensioning wall of an EGW extractor to fit, your extractor tunnel was bored incorrectly. It is more common than you think.
Do they still make the standard? Or was that replaced with the practical? I kind of wonder if the fat ring in the middle of the extractor for lack of a better term keeps the pad from getting close enough to the rim. I spent some time last night playing around with one and it took a lot of time and material removal to get it close enough to press against the rim. Once I put a pretty good bevel aft of the hook the pad was close enough. It didn't matter how much tension was on it because it couldn't move toward the case any closer. Maybe Its the practical that makes it more difficult. Anyone care to post a picture of one they have done? Out of the slide.

Those are all good points. I also remember having to remove a LOT of material off the tensioning pad for proper tension. At the end of the day it seemed like a lot of extra work for no gain. Maybe I'll try another one the "right" way and see if I can tell a difference. I wonder why EGW doesn't make the 9mm extractor set up that way if that's the way it's "supposed" to be done?
-
I've fit 9mm extractors with rim contact and didn't like it because you have to remove so much off the hook. I do them all with the hook in the groove now. You do need to bevel the hook to match the bevel on the case.
-
Likely springing. I rarely fit a Bull barrel that doesn't need to be adjusted at the muzzle end.
-
I wouldn't put it on the mill. You need to take off tenths not thousandths.

I can vouch for Precision Plating & Engraving. They've done a few for me and have another one or two heading that way soon. VERY happy with the end result.

Aggressive, unless you use a new pronoun like non-binary...

I use 17#. 15# can start to experience light strikes. An extended fp can help with that.

The Lucas Contact Cleaner is way beyond brake cleaner/gunscrubber. I love that stuff!

You are likely going to remove .100 from the top anyway.
-
I would check the timing of the gun with the new barrel. Kkm has a lot of meat on it. Check the link too.
-
I did the gen 2 gunsmith fit where you have to machine the bottom of the frame and re-drill the mainspring housing pin. It turned out fantastic.
-
EGW sells the cutter you need. It's .362 if I remember correctly. I would cut the slot with a 5/16 cutter first.
-
Are you climb milling the side that is jumping?
-
Yes, both springs.
-
How high is your sight elevated? If there is a gap this can cause the sight to bounce when it's fired creating force on that screw. You can try to fit a small piece of rubber under the leaf to fill this gap. That small spring may be worn out.

I know people who have shot a lot of 40 ammo through their 10mm guns with no problems.

Looks like I misspoke. Infinity only makes a steel grip. I guess if it gets a finish on it it would be good to go.
How would anodizing the stainless steel grip hold up over time? Maybe DLC would be way to go?
You aren't going to be wrong with the LSI. If you measure your frame, he will machine the grip to be almost a perfect fit without additional fitting. I use Black Nitride. I think you'll find that to be your best bet for durability and economically.

I made a special v block and clamp that hold island barrels for sights and milling.

The gas port size could be an issue, as well as the gas key on the carrier.

I've built two with that frame. The 9 especially is very flat shooting. The first shooter I built a 40 sight tracker for is going to have me do another one with the xwf.
9 mm brass cleaned and sticking on powder drop.

Hornady One Shot is a gamechanger for smooth operating even with pistol cases. It isn't going to leave a greasy film like dillon lube. You don't have to worry about it contaminating the powder. You actually WANT it to get in the case mouth. I picked up an old baking pan from a thrift shop. Put a bunch of cases in and shake it until most of them are facing up. Spray, shake around some more and your'e done.
