We normally have them for rent but I think our rental units got sold somehow
We have more on order but no idea when they'll be here. -
SSS starts a production run when they get a bunch of orders from their wholesale customers.
No, we start a production run when the machine schedule allows it, we have numerous products that we make for us and other companies and sometimes we have to wait as well. But our stuff gets a nudge now and then.....

The shooter is DQ'ed not the gun because it didn't do anything wrong. If you spend the money to travel to a big match and DQ then hopefully that will reinforce the lesson and you'll learn from it before somebody gets hurt, if you don't then your hobby just got a little more expensive for you. I know shooters that have been doing this for a number of years and have never DQ'ed but I also know a couple that have DQ'ed several times, why they keep doing the same thing over and over I'll never know but it happens. Let's not try to read too deep or interpret things that aren't there, it's been like this since the early days for a reason. I'm not saying we should never change anything but this is a safety issue and it's there to keep us from getting hurt.

Any word yet on 5 inch tungsten guide rod?
Started working on them today
-
So what would be a appropriate recoil spring weight for the tungsten rod and a 5" Pro 9mm?
Thanks
With a 130 pf load I ran a 13# spring with the TG and never had an issue.
-
Family stuff has kept me out of the shop for the last 2 weeks but I should be able to get those running next week so hopefully it won't be long.
-
You guys looking for springs or guide rods?
-
Soon. We just received a shipment of tungsten so we should be running them next week.
-
The shoot was great as always but there was waaayyy too much water, all of the competition ranges were under 10 feet of water.
I'm having the weights of the guide rods checked so we can correct the website if needed.

Is there a heavier tungsten guide rod for the 5" Pro than the one offered by Speed Shooters? I'm switching from my XD 5.25 and the rod I put in that made a huge difference in the feel of it. The XD tungsten rod is solid and weighed in at 4.1oz while the speed shooters rod is hollow and only 1.30oz. I would like to get a good bit heavier, are there any other options?
Elizabethtown? I just came back from Knob Creek
Do you have one of our guide rods or did you get that info from somewhere? Reason I ask is none of the guide rods we make, stainless or tungsten, are hollow. I don't remember the exact weight but I'm pretty sure it's more than 1.3 oz. -
A 140mm extension is not legal in Production but if you're looking for a replacement basepad we make one that is Aluminum and is legal for Production, it doesn't add any capacity and fits the box.
Are we talking about these?
And that brings up another point...I'm guessing that these are legal for IDPA ESP with the ESP magwell AND are legal for USPSA Production but you can't use the ESP magwell. Am I correct?
Those are the ones. And you're correct on the second point.

That "modified gun" part is important too, you'll probably have to lighten the slide to make that work with an 11# spring.

The MGW is the best I've worked with but it won't do the front sights on the 5" M&P's, or the Shield. We rent those out if you don't want to buy one, or you can try it before you invest in one. http://www.speedshooterspecialties.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=80&zenid=bab0f30974faed03cde58ed7d1191f04

I knew something was up, thanks for the explanation.
-
I've tried lots of grip enhancers made for Tennis and other sports but the Fast Grip works the best for me, the Pro Grip is a bit too chalky.
-
Neither one has it
-
I've checked Dawson, CPWSA and CED with no luck, any suggestions?
-
It would depend on the ammo, if you're using a factory velocity type ammo use a 15# but if you're using a lower power factor ammo in the 130-ish range use a 13#. Either way, be sure you run enough of the same ammo through it to be sure it runs 100%.

I just finished a batch this afternoon so they should be back on the website by tomorrow, maybe tonight.
-
ill send you one, send me a PM with the address you want it to go to.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!!
-
Sounds crazy but I can't find one anywhere. I need to finish my 40 so I can shoot Limited this season, I can buy it, swap or replace it later, let me know please. Thanks
-
I couldn't force it off without cutting it so I used a dremel tool and sliced the cover vertically, it slid right off then.

I'll be in Orlando the 2nd weekend of Feb and wouldn't mind shooting a match while I'm there, anything close? Thanks
