  1. Has anyone tried the Tungston guide rod for the Q5 SF. I see Walther has a captured Tungston guide rod ,but I would prefer an uncaptured guide rod. Can anyone suggest who would make one for me?
  2. It might just be my gun. Like someone else mentioned, it's not expanding enough to seal off the chamber, funny how the American select is clean though.
  3. I loaded 3.8gr of American Select, and 4.0gr of Sport Pistol. So not the same weight charge for the power factor of about 130. The Sport Pistol is dirtier. I'm not going to "load up" untill Sport Pistol burns clean.
  4. I guess the reason I posted this is that if you can't find your favorite 9mm powder, try the American Select.
  5. I used to use E3 also. I thing the accuracy is better with American Select. I had 8lbs of E3 that was running low and had 8lbs of American Select that I had bought on a whim last ammo shortage a couple years ago. I tried the American Select and really like it.
  6. I was actually surprised to see the brass so dirty. I normally use American Select and wanted to find a secondary backup powder. I bought 8lbs Sport Pistol. As I was trying experiment rounds I noticed how dirty the Sport Pistol brass were. I also didn't care for the sharp recoil compared to American Select.
  7. Shot out of a Walther PPQ Q5 Match Steel Frame.
  8. Today I tested Alliant Sport Pistol and Alliant American Select. Top row is American Select , bottom row is Sport Pistol. Sport Pistol is definitely dirtier. Recoil impulse was sharper with Sport pistol. American Select 3.8gr for 129pf, Sport Pistol 4.0gr for 128pf. Both 124gr RMR 124 Match @ 1.128 OAL. Equal in accuracy at 50 feet, all test rounds into a 2"x2" piece of duct tape. Conclusion is American Select has a better recoil impulse, is cleaner, and uses less for comparable PF.
  9. So what does the final product look like. Looks good in the rough, and it's been several months now.....
  10. I ordered a set. I havent received them yet, but was thinking I might have to Birchwood brass black them. I have to see them on the gun first.
  11. https://lokgrips.com/walther/walther-q5-q4-match-sf/specialty/walther-q5-q4-match-sf-gridlok-aggressive-brass/
  12. Thanks, just got 5k. Same price.
  13. My own experience with a Walther PPQ Q5 Match SF is 124 gr plated round nose group was softball to tennis ball size groups at 25 yards freestyle, and 124 gr fmj truncated cone flat point with same power factor and OAL gave me tennis ball to golf ball size groups. Not scientific but good enough for me to change over to fmj truncated cone flat point. These were both shot standing and shooting free style with no outside support.
  14. I hope you have better luck than me. I emailed Winchester twice in the last year asking about primer code dates, and couldn't even tell you if they got the message. No reply, nothing. I had several thousand and wanted to use the older ones first.
  15. http://carlwalther.com/ has a schematic that I used for the part # http://www.carlwalther.com/views/ev_q5-match_steel.pdf
  16. http://carlwalther.com/ My firing pin broke too. This it where I got mine. I bought 2. I think mine broke from dry fire. I had to call. If I remember correctly they are in the booneys and didn't have internet or something like that.
  17. I had at least 2k rounds on the SRO 5moa with no problems. Then during dry fire in the basement in Feb I dropped my gun practicing transfer to weak hand. The gun landed upside down on the concrete directly on the SRO lens ring. The red dot still worked but the lens was shattered but still intact. I called Trijicon and told them exactly what I did and they gave me a repair number to send it in. Well in about 2 weeks they notified me that mine was un-repairable and they were sending me a new one no charge. The new one has worked great just as the first one. Before the SRO I used the Burris Fast fire 3. The SRO is allot nicer.
  18. I have inserted this drill into my weekly live fire drills. Normal draw 1.2 sec with a string time of 4.5 to 5.4 sec. Bad runs, missed grip etc into 6's. I usually use double thick targets and tape the rear target, leaving the front target shot up, that helps me with the shot calling as well. Then I use the same targets and practice El Presidente too. Saves range time and setup time. Need part 2 now.
  19. The CZ Scorpion, and Beretta CX4 are on the list. Any 9mm AR upper is banned too. No PCC in Canada unless your using the Ruger PC, it's not on the list....
  20. I'm not sure yet. They are straight up right now, but my arm feels like it's at a weird angle to to grab the magazine.
  21. Magazines placement must be behind hips, but can they be at different angles? I notice that production magazines are straight up and down and the same angle. I use 20 round magazines so I only carry 2 magazines, but I would like to adjust the magazine to a better angle.
  22. This should probably be in the "things I hate" forum, but I was in the middle of dry fire today and again it happens. What the real issue is that then your mind wanders off too what is being said or has been said and it distracts me from dry fire mode.
  23. It seems like the hour I have designated to dry fire that the people in the house find it necessary to come in, come by, ask questions, have a problem with this or that. They aren't doing it on purpose. I have a designated dry fire/gun room that nobody is interested in until I start dry firing.
  24. A quote from another source. "An Alliant powder rep has stated on another forum that Sport Pistol has an extremely close to almost overlapping burn rate to American Select. So I’d guess you’ll like it in that usage". Apparently Sport Pistol is the new popular "go to" powder right now, and you can't find any. You can find plenty of American Select....
