Make sure ever station is full when your measuring/setting up your OAL. If your setting up your OAL while just using the seating station, then once you start cranking out the rounds and using all the stations (most importantly the sizing station), the OAL will change. Your OAL should stay with a +/- .001. Unless your seating die is seating the bullet off the O-GIve and not the tip of the bullet. In that case, I'd have no idea, but deviations would go up, since handgun bullets just aren't made that precise.

I'm guessing my no other responses, the 1-2 PF must be the consensus.

Thinking about going from 1.175 to 1.200 on my OAL, curious what's a typical velocity lose will be. I know there's no magic number, but trying to get a ballpark figure. Currently making 173pf with VV N320 and Bayou 180gr.

I'd go svi, so you don't have to worry about rear elevation screws break during a match

Extractor or ejector?

We don't know where the crack is on the second slide. And I would be willing to bet (99.9% sure) the crack on the first slide started at the plug housing and worked up. Now I'm sure the lightening sped the crack up once it started, but that's not what caused it.

Post up pics, so we know what your talking about.

Cool for trying it, but no advantage over a sideways mounted c more. Not to mention you have more material (weight) to get the c more up that high and mounted upside down, your center of gravity/balance of the gun is changed and you still have the vision barrier on one side due to the mount, but now you've added another vision barrier on top/above, which would probably be an issue when your shooting stacked targets, swingers, bobbers, Texas stars etc.

Does the gun follow dropping the slide on an empty chamber with the grip safety engaged?

Is this your first 1911 platform gun that you've shot in uspsa?

And why is that? A good barrel, is a good barrel. Doesn't matter if it's for uspsa limited, uspsa single stack, idpa, bullseye, hardball etc. Just curious why you'd list the other barrels as part of your favorites, but then say sch's the way to go in limited.

Typically looser. Another reason a barrel can be slower, is added friction due to tool marks. I know schuemann barrels are big supports of the sport and you see them everywhere, but in the last year I've seen 4 sch's (one of which was a replacement for a barrel that had TERRIBLE tooling marks in the barrel), 2 karts and 2 kkm's. All the sch's had tooling marks in them and the karts and kkm's looked hand lapped like a custom bolt gun barrel. I actually ended up going with a kart in my 6" after looking down the barrel of my buddies 6" sch. My gun is quite a bit faster. Weird thing is, in the bullseye world (accuracy) karts and kkm's dominate in popularity. But you see very few in the uspsa world.

You looked at 165 velocity. The majority of your basic 180gr factory loads are 178-181pf.

What type of oal are you running?

That's because the FOV sucks!

Everything was done in house. Who did your Hardchrome? Polished flats?

Would the +7 be too long then?

Just ordered a 26" Versa Max. Want to order up some parts. What tube extension gets me to flush? And how many will that hold total? Pics would be awesome.

Yes. http://area1championship.com/ explains how it will work.

You could stay home and not have to take any days off from work.

Wait the time, spend the extra money and buy a full custom gun!

How many rounds a year do top GMs shoot? I've heard numbers before, but sounded more like gossip then any hard fact. I realize that some shoot a ton and some very little anymore, but guessing at one point even those guys hard periods where they shoot more.

I don't know, looking at the pics on their site, their finish work looks less then staler......for a 5-6k gun. Most of the thumb safeties aren't blended that well and the back of the slide (ejector and extractor) aren't machined flush.
