[9 major with coated bullet]

I have some bayou bullets that I need to try out in my open gun. I may just use them for 3 gun so I don't have to load them to major PF. They run great in ally other pistols

[Home built CNC Mill - Gonna make a 1911]

I would love to be able to do this some time. Do most of you do this for work or is it just another hobby.

[Thumb rest]

I have the arredondo one and really like it. I don't have a preference on make as long as I have one

[Favorite 2011 lube]

Engine assembly lube and synthetic motor oil

[Question about powder load for 9mm MAJOR]

My 9 major with 2 poppel holes I run 7.5 grains of Autocomp with a 124 gn bullet for 175 pf

Saiga 12 modded

[9mm major?]

I shoot 9mm major and like that if I don't want to pick up brass I don't have to. But on cooler days I will get out and pick up as much brass as I want as most people let it lie.

[The Twins have been delivered....]

Wow wish my wife liked to shoot never mind compete

[Lone Star Innovations 9mm 2011]

Congrats on a great looking pistol no matter who are it.

[Glock for Open]

I had the same problem when I switched from my xdm open gun to a 2011 platform. It just took some time to adjust to the different platform. Either way go out and and have fun

Or buy a used pistol

Stick with 9 major and don't be a range chicken

[Anyone Using an M&P9 for Open Major?]

Well the mp can be chambered in 40 and that is making major power factor and they run for a long time. You will be fine running major with a 9 with a comp and with the correct spring. I have a xdm 9 open gun that I have been running major and minor through. IMHO

[Glock 9mm to .40 cal question.]

There are some company's that sell reman 9mm major loads out there or you could just shoot open minor

[2011 for duty carry ?]

Go with http://store.legionfirearms.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=LFP they run great

[M&P Comp]

You could try some autocomp and that would take care of the spilling powder problem. With 115 I would start around 7 gr and work up from there.

[M&P Comp]

Why not switch to some 115s and run them. When running them at major PF they will have more gas than the 124s and work your comp more effectively. Just a suggestion though.

[Race to B Class]

A-84365 open I just got my C classification for open and would like to be added to the list.

[Advice On Going Open?]

I started out with a xdm 9 with a carver customs kit for open and it was great. The gun ran great and had no problems. It is a great way to get into open to see if you like it. If not you can sell the parts. Or go for the TruBor. Either way just go have fun and compete.

[How many divisions do you shoot?]

Open for me. I just want to go fast but am really slow lol

[Universal 9mm major open ammo]

I run an open XDM and I load 9 major to 1.165 and have loaded out to 1.170. It runs fine out of a storm lake barrel

[3g Upper Question]

I would swap the barrel like hrdstmax said. The V Tac has the troy fore end on it so save your money for a better trigger and ammo

[Cheapest 9mm plated/jacketed bullets?]

I like the berry thick plated bullets in my open XDM. When load testing I pushed a 124 thick plated at just over 1450 fps with no issues and use the 115 for minor. Have not had any problems with the plating coming off.

[home brewed gun oil]

Torco engine assembly lube and some 10-30 mixed in to thin it a little or use it straight for my Saiga 12
