[Recommend mags for 9mm 1911.]

1) tripp

2) dawson

3) wilson combat

I had an issue with the Wilson etm's but others have had good luck with them

[Oakley SI Ballistic M Frame 3.0 or SI Radar Range?]

I use the m frames. They are comfortable for me with my hearing protection

[Holsters and Mag Pouches for a budget conscience IPSC newbie]

I think ghost also makes mag pouches that are relatively inexpensive

[Do's and Dont's for the 1st time custom Limited build]

Tuned mags is a must

Not sure I agree with this for a 40 anymore.

All of the newly manufactured 40 STI tubes I have received (at least 8 in the past 2 years) have all ran out of the bag by simply dropping in Grams followers/springs with a base pad of my choice. They all fit hold 20 and fit the gauge as well. They run no different than my 4 "tuned" Brazos mags, which also only hold 20 comfortably/reloadable. Feedlips are all within spec as well.

Have someone tune them for 21+ maybe, but for 20? I don't believe the hype anymore.

I find it hard to believe I got lucky with 8 different tubes bought on different occasions.

You have had better luck then I have then. I had an issue with one of mine grams guts and TTI base pads. The others were good.

[How do we set up the CR Speed Belt?]

You have it right. Put the inner belt through the belt loops and fasten it in the front. If you are shooting USPSA (assuming you are) place your mag pouches wherever your division allows then fasten the belt on your inner belt with the ends attaching in the back (opposite of the inner belt)

[2011 mag spring and follower problems]

I'm having the same issue and i am pretty sure that it is the springs but it's doing it with multiple mags. They are newer springs and followers (maybe 200 rounds on each). How did you bend them to get them to work?

[2011 Mag Springs-What RU Using?]

Grams springs and followers

[Which SA 1911 to buy with ProStaff discount]

For 3gun I wouldn't buy a single stack. If I were sold on a SA pistol it would be the TRP

Tuned mags is a must

[Trojan versus USPSA]

Price would be my determining factor. If the USPSA were close to a new trojan then I would probably get that one.

[tuned mags]

They aren't functioning in the gun. I tested the gun with a tuned brazos mag and it worked flawlessly. I also used a friend of mines 2011 and it ran with tuned mags but not my mags.

Thanks for the recommendation Sarge

[tuned mags]

I have a set of sti mags that were put together with grams guts and TTI followers. Is there anyone that will take and tune them if I send them out? Don't want to ruin them by doing it myself as it would be difficult to replace so I'd rather have someone that knows what they are doing take care of it for me...

[Phoenix Trinity 2011 frames?]

I'm a fan of the ck frames, my limited gun is built on one.

I have heard good things about PT as well

[can lightweight / dying recoil springs cause FTF's]

Are you running a shock buff?

[How light for a 2011 trigger in comp?]

They say you can safely go down around 1#. I think that is too light for most shooters. I personally like my trigger pull to be around 2.5lb

[Why are Salomon shoes so popular for shooters?]

Earlier in this thread someone posted an eBay store that had them for cheaper than I have seen them anywhere else

[Help me decide on a nice 1911 to buy as a birthday present for myself]

For 2k, you can have any of the smiths on this forum start with a Trojan and make it exactly the way you want it. If I wanted it for competition, I'd go that route, otherwise I would go with the Baer

[DAA RangePack losing its form; bottom compartment collapsing]

I have had the bag for about a year and a half and haven't had any issues with it sagging or losing form. I leave my ammo in the bottom storage compartment and all other necessities in the upper compartment

[Dawson magwell and magazines of any brands]

You could get plastic shims and glue them to the bottom of the mags. It doesn't look great but it gets the job done. That's my one gripe about the dawson ice magwell is that most regular base pads are harder to seat with the slide forward

[STI 9mm 3 Gun Question]

I know Bobby at freedom gunworks would strongly suggest that you run an aftec extractor in the 9mm double stacks

[Edge/eagle or custom?]

If ur looking for a semi custom go with brazos. They stock the high performance edge and do all the work you would typically have done anyways. Plus they will sell you 4 tuned mags at a discounted price when you buy the gun from them.

Otherwise go full custom and wait a bit longer to have exactly what you want (that's the route I went)

[STI Edge or Eagle]

If it is only for 3 gun then go for the edge, if you want to shoot idpa then get an eagle with a bushing barrel. It would suit you for 3 games. 3gun, idpa, and uspsa (limited minor)

[.40 brass for reloading]

How is tulammo brass?

[in the market for a new sti for limited]

I hear it is 400 for 4 when you buy a gun from them.

[in the market for a new sti for limited]

Go with the brazos edge. Then you get a deal on the 4 pack of tuned mags...
