  1. RJH has the best answer, flat primer may be the only indicator of Major 9.
  2. Marginal triggers (well worn) can suffer inertia bounce from aluminum trigger shoes. Hammer follow indicates worn parts, 3 finger spring tweak or sear/hammer hook touch up. Just something to be aware of, keeps your score sheet out of the circular file.
  3. Play with hammer spring wts and firing stop plate profile (squared or small radius)
  4. Modify the barrel ramp, in case you have to borrow a mag.
  5. Yeah, Sarco sends me pin sets on a monthly subscription.
  6. Black Mountain is a one man show. Their product is worth the wait.
  7. If you're able to machine, Black Mountain frames are near full slide width.
  8. Shoot doubles, second shot high not enough recoil spring, second shot low too much recoil spring.
  9. 9mm/38 Caliber - Brian Enos's Forums... Maku mozo!
  10. Any powder is a barrel breaker if you use enough, a friend double charged 6.2gr AA2 behind a 200gr SWC. He complained about loud and violent discharges. Told him to pull all the bullets apart. Didn't listen, blew up his brother's SA 45. That's a degreed engineer for ya.
  11. Bump the charging handle a couple times at bottom travel, the shock breaks up the powder log jam. Same issue with Varget.
  12. Per a friend in NV, BM is a one man CNC shop. Try some of the 1911/2011 22lr conversion mfgs if you like waiting
  13. Don't worry about belt equipment, most of these guys are very generous.
  14. Limit 10 Kits - Arredondo Accessories I am a user of Ralph's products, not sponsored. Reworking stressed sheet metal is a challenge for a craftsman
  15. If there is steel on the course, depending on your skill level add a least 2 rds per plate.
  16. Unless you wear speedo's, you have pockets. Do not stuff a 170 mag in a front pocket, may cause anitomical damage.
  17. zzt's advice is gold. If there is anything to add is a heavy comp for mass damping (long cone & full profile).
  18. Possibly someone in San Jose, JM or J&M. Jim O'Young might know. Nagata used to bring over the Steel Challenge AirSoft guys from Japan, most shot revolver.
  19. Look for Krydex mag pouches on fleabay, acutally for airsoft but we've been using'em for indoor rimfire steel/IPSC
  20. Too much overtravel can jam/impede the disconnector, not enough can cause the hammer hook and sear face to kiss.
  21. Built a Colt Ace racegun for a friend. Could rip 10 rds before the first case landed. Took 4 months of head banging for reliability and is still dirt and ammo sensitive. One of the guys at Norco said "I'll shoot you in the knee if you show this to my daughter."
  22. All three are very good. I'd lean toward Marvel, that's what you'll see at Camp Perry (bullseye crowd). Rear sight is a BoMar clone. Marvel uses a real barrel blank, not a 22lr liner. If using an STI style frame, Nelson Custom has excellent wide body mags. Use a 20lb main spring or ignition may be spotty. Your 10 ring is a 12" steel disk at 35yds. If sub 2lb trigger, avoid the aluminum trigger shoe (or do a Jenny Craig). Can cause recoil sear bounce. STI used to offer a polymer trigger for single stacks, Brownells quit stocking'em.
  23. Marvel/Nelson use colt ace style and CWA uses GSG mags.
