[2011 mags rattle when fully loaded]

My first mag rattles also with the TTI followers and springs but allows me 21 in first mag and I barney the first round to start with 22 rds. All they do is run and have never had any issues with them. But it does sound a lil funny hearing them rattle. They are also tuned mags.

EGW in all my Guns.

[New Orleans in October]

We have a USPSA match on the first Sunday of every month with a steel match on the 2nd Saturday of the month at southern shooting center in Thibodaux. The Gator Classic is also right around the corner and will also be held there if you are interested on Oct. 24th thru the 26th.

[Trojan .40 extractor break]

AFTEC, but it will have to be fitted.

Yea Buddy!!!!

[Powder Valley]

I just got a call this week from powder valley, since my order has been on back order for a year now they wanted to know if I still wanted to keep it or not. I've been getting my components from other connections.

[Is "Long Stroke" option worth $200?]

My Akai gun is STROKED and is super fast and very soft shooting, built identical to Lesgar's , don't really think you would need it in 9mm though. I also have a 6" built in 9mm that I use as my steel gun and is a very soft shooting gun.

[2011 Trigger group kits]

EGW

[Safety breakage?]

You need a bar stock thumb safety, SVI or Wilson, a lot of gun smiths are in the works of making their own right now along with a thumb shield.

[WST for 40 Major?]

5.0 or 5.2g of WST at 1.170 to 1.180 should get you Major, in my SVI barrel i'm getting right over 900fps. In my Briley getting a lot higher because of a faster twist, around 1000fps.

[Good rear sights?]

Try Warren Tactical's new rear Bo Mar, I have one on my Akai and Tripp gun and love them, the corners on the rear blade is curved like the SVI but softened up.

[BBI STI edge issues]

The barrel probably needs to be reamed since your loading long.

[Briley Spherical Bushing Broke Today !]

I have one on my SS that Virgil Tripp built but also got him to fit a solid Briley bushing just in case it did brake, especially during a match.

[Best 1911 Trigger Set up?]

I use the same parts in all of my race guns, bar stock is the way to go, SVI and EGW go in my guns. Instead of 14lb recoil I use 12.5lb

[Which barrel to use for my 1911 build]

SVI or Briley I have both and love em!!!

[Where to get twist knob for powder bar]

Home Depot if u can find them, it took me a few trips to find them at different locations.

[Powder Valley & Federal Small Pistol Primers]

I have had a order since the end of Dec. on Fed small pistol and nothing at all yet, smh..... 8 months!!!

[First build question]

All of my builds have EGW internals, but you cant go wrong with SVI either.

[Using heat to help remove hard cast lead]

Spray some Kroil to loosen the lead, comes in a orange spray can.
