Shaun,
I'll give that a whirl........ I'm guessing mag specs for 9x23 should basically be the same as 38 supercomp?
The chip on the hook thing could be worth looking into--this one 'sorta' looks like it has one, but it may be tuned that way for all I know.
Calling the local gunsmith soon, I'm afraid........
Carl,
from what I can see, the ejector looks ok...... no obvious brekage.

This gun has been fantastic since we got it, and now that it's acting up, we're pretty dang frustrated. I have some spare Aftec springs that I may give a try, and I also will try and get it looked at by a gunsmith if at all possible.
Anyone else have more thoughts or possibilities?

Hosting issue was resolved, and it's back up and running...just FYI.

Someone asked about slide--- you can see in this pic a little bit:
-
Thanks for the info so far.
Bob.......using 9x23 Starline brass. (or 9 super as it's labeled now)
The slide has been heavily lightened (the pic is in the Open gun thread)
It was running great for her. I actually have only shot less than 20 rounds thru it total, ever..... it's hers, and it was running like a champ.
Shred, that's what I'm thinking--just not sure 'what' changed.
Keep the advice coming!

Funny enough, I did clean it, too......thinking maybe it was getting dirty. It didn't seem to make any difference at all.
As you can recall, it has been running flawlessly and now all of a sudden it's flaky, which equals no fun for her.
Damn race gun! LOL

Here's the deal. I bought my wife an Open gun for Christmas, and it had been running great... even made it thru Doubletap with no issues. The last three matches in a row, the gun seems to stovepipe (either sideways or lengthwise) and still attempt to feed. I am by no means a gunsmith, nor do I play one on TV. I've asked a couple of my buddies already and they have some ideas, but since this gun isn't exactly like theirs, I'd like to get some other opinions.
Aftec extractor. 8 lb. recoil rod (which I just swapped out to see if it fixed issue, no diff.)
9x23. Long gun. Ammo makes 173 (rechrono'd yesterday) and no pressure signs that I can tell. Some ideas I have or have been given: mags out of spec- (not sure how that affects the stovepipe, but possible). Extractor either too tight or too loose? I wouldn't know the difference, so I defer to the gurus here. It's annoying that a gun that runs perfectly is now having issues and I can't figure out "why". Any and all help is appreciated, and same to my buddies who I've already aggravated by asking a thousand questions of 'what if'.
I'm prob gonna end up taking to a gunsmith as last resort, but with Arkansas sectional coming up, kinda want her gun to RUN again!!

Website was up as of Friday nite........ let me see what I can find out.
The backup site is still working............Looks like a host issue......the site is fine.
Slightly older version is at: http://www.caylorcustomguns.com.
I'll be seeing him on Monday and will check the status and update here then.

Here's a pic of the wife's Open gun.
Pretty much everyone says "that's HUGE" and then they shoot it and love it.
-
Now if they only made a lefty version, I'd consider going back to shoot a bit of Production. Very nice.
-
+1 to the M&P. I'm a Glock convert to the M&P. Adjustability is very nice.

Mine: first 'big' match was last year, the 2006 Doubletap Championship. I shot Production, got lots of penalties, finished last in my division!!, and had a GREAT time. Shot it again this year, and did a bit better, too!
The Doubletap Championship is a match no one should miss if there is any way possible for them to attend. Period.

Excellent! Can't wait!! And it's my birthday weekend, too!!

I saw a heck of a good deal on a Brazos Custom on the USPSA classified, too........ so worth checking out.
-
Just to add a quick .02......I just picked up an M&P in .40,and can't say enough good things about it. For those who haven't checked them out, I say don't wait!
-
it takes 3 GM's in a division to count as classifier.
lynn
I'm sure in that case it's well covered in both divisions. I think there were like 20+ GMs.
Thanks!
-
What was the official word on if this match would count as a classifier?
For Limited, or both Limited and Open?
-
Bump, mainly because I'm experiencing the same problem right now and am trying to decide on the same thing. I'm really thinking the Swenson's, but I know someone said 'new' stuff is gonna hit the market really soon due to patent expiration....just not sure if I can wait.

Mark.....what powder and bullets are you both using? If I have spare that I'm not using, you are welcome to them.
-Mike
-
Shoot both, or a variation to both as close as you can get.
Some people like the shorty guns, some don't. I personally don't care for them......too 'violent'. It's just a personal thing, so try before you buy.
I like a longer gun, and don't really feel it handicaps anything--but again, very personal thing. Ford vs. Chevy thing.
Good luck. I do have to say they are both pretty. I have seen pics of the Limcat and it is a b-e-a-u-t-y-- all of the Bedell guns are cool too.
-
+1 to phpbb. I've had good luck with it, and the free part is tough to beat.

Oh, Crap! Now what? I got through okay to the credit card page, but got an error message that said that there was an error in the transaction to the vendor, but that the charge was authorized.
Yeah, got that too. Afraid to do it again, don't want multi-charges. Think I'm just going to bed. Maybe it'll be sorted out by tomorrow.
-
CED.........it's what you'll see at the major matches.
-
I think we're gonna make the trek and do this one this year. Sounds like a great time!
