    Kimber Stainless II grip problems?

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Since it's a Series II Kimber it should be a Swartz series trigger group with the goofy firing pin block. Not engaging the grip safety all the way will result in not letting the firing pin block more up and let the gun fire. If you don't feel comfortable pinning the grip safety you might try to remove the Swartz system first.

    Yep that's what it is alright!  ?  Seems, I've read somewhere that you could replace the firing pin with a series 70 pin to get around that or, is that done for a different purpose? Please correct me if I'm wrong!  Thanks!

    Thanks for the tips! are there any tutorials on how to go about pinning it?  ? Wow, after googling I noticed that to be a pretty common problem for quite a few people. I think I'll try more practice but if I keep having problems I'll probably just trade it in on something else.

    Kimber Stainless II grip problems?

    I really like this pistol but, when I try riding my thumb on top of the thumb safety I don't always get the grip, safety depressed enough to be able to fire the gun? If I cram the web of my hand into the grip safety then, when I move my thumb over on top of the (thumb) safety it feels really awkward and actually hurts my thumb. I've tried riding thumb below thumb safety and of course, once in a while during recoil my thumb has turned the safety on by accident. Any tips or links I could go to that might help would be greatly appreciated  Thanks Folks!  ?

    Steel guide rod & double spring for gen 4 34

    This is my first glock ever, and I would like to do a few upgrade mods to it starting with replacing the guide rod/ spring combination. Any suggestions on what would make a good replacement? I don't shoot any type of competition just local range and might, consider carry once in a while.  Thanks!  :)

    I've been told this is pretty much the same as a jericho 941 purchased it used for $100.00 don't know much about it yet but, seems to be solid made and I like the way the slide hooks inside of the frame instead of around it as most semi-autos are. Anyone familiar with these and are they pretty decent shooters?  Thanks!  :)

    Unburned powder in action and chamber?

    in 44/45 Caliber

    You can protect your powder hopper by going to Staples and buying a package of Wilson Jones Transparent ViewTabs. The clear ones are a very pale blue/gray. Empty and clean your hopper. Cut the tab and spline off one of the dividers, coil and insert into the hopper. Cut to length. It will uncoil and line the walls. It impervious to the Nitro in the powder and will not melt or stain. It also has some anti-static properties.

    Thanks for the tip! :cheers:

    Bullseye vs. Titegroup

    in 44/45 Caliber

    About Titegroup, if used in a RCBS Chargemaster 1500 remove the powder as soon as your done because it will eat right into the clear hopper tube and even the green base area. Otherwise I have had good performance with it in 9mm. I'm pretty new to reloading so, I don't understand the major,minor load lingo. :cheers:

    This is the first load I have tried with my Kimber Stainless II. 45 acp. Hornady 230gn.fmj, Win brass, CCI primers and Accurate #2 powder. I used 4.8grs. of powder, and an OAL of 1.260" using LEE 4 die set with light taper crimp the press is a Forster Coax. I seated and taper crimped where the rounds were too long to fit the mag. I then, reseated to 1.260" but, did not re crimp again could that be the cause of the unburned powder? powder charge maybe too light or a combination of both? The only other powder I have right now is W231 to try. Funny thing is, at 10yds. 5 shot group had one wild flier probably me, and the other 4 rounds made one hole measuring under 1". Thanks for all advice! smile.gif Forgot, I also have Titegroup powder but that stuff eats up my RCBS Chargemaster hopper really fast.

    Shooting 9mm from M&P 40 pro

    Interesting. I bought the KKM conversion barrel, and don't have any issues with slide lock, or anything. Not sure why having a 9 barrel would do that. The only physical issue with a 9 barrel in a 40 slide is the extra slop at the breach/chamber interface.

    I also, put a KKM conversion barrel in my m&p 40 and have been reloading for it and really like it's performance I also, installed one of the fail safe extractors and competition trigger kits. I think, the extractor brand and trigger kit is Apex Tactical brand if I remember right. :)

    AA #2 usage with RCBS ChargeMaster question?

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    Has anyone using a RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 or similar dispenser/scale combination had the same problems using this powder as they had using TiteGroup? Just curious since I have some and don't even want to pour any in the hopper if, it's just going to start eating the plastic even more. I also have some Win 231 I thought about using. Thanks! :cheers:

    Well, I sure am glad to see that I'm not the only one having this problem. Not, that I get pleasure from hearing about other folks misfortunes. I really think these companies need to experiment with some different materials that will handle the chemicals in these powders (if) possible. I don't remember any rifle powders causing problems with my ChargeMaster 1500 so far anyone else? Of you folks that have had the same problem, what did you use to wipe off the sticky feeling to the plastic so newly added powder won't stick to it? Alcohol maybe, or did air drying work. I'm thinking about going back to my Win 231 powder again I don't remember having that problem wit it does anyone else? I sure appreciate everyone chiming in as this is a pretty important matter to us reloaders. Thanks! :cheers:

    Has anyone else noticed the RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 Dispenser/Scale to be sensitive to this or, other powders as far as trying to actually soften and try to eat into the plastic base as well as the clear tube? I had a heck of a time getting this powder loose from the clear plastic tube and, the insides of the green base after sitting just over night? There was still, a sticky feeling after removing the powder It's been two days I haven't checked it again yet but if it's still a little tacky feeling any suggestions on what I could use to wipe it down with? I thought about a damp rag with Alcohol but I'm open to all suggestions. I'm for sure, going to drain it after every session from now on as these things aren't cheap. Thanks! :cheers:

    Springfield 1911 loaded Range Officer opinions needed

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I've been thinking hard about getting one of these but, would appreciate opinions about their build quality, accuracy, and how dependable they are. I'm also open to suggestions for other options at about the $800-$1000 range which might be a better choice for my use. It will be used for slow fire shooting for groups. Would it make more sense to get it in 9mm? I have 9mm dies etc. already. Thanks! :cheers:

    Which Precision Delta bullet to use?

    in 9mm/38 Caliber

    Posted

    I've been thinking about ordering 1000 of their 124gr. bullets any ideas which might be the most accurate for shooting groups from 15-25yds using minor loads? The two in question are their 124gr.fmj. or, the 124gr.jhp? I'll be shooting them out of a S&W M&P 40 FS with a KKM 40-9mm Conversion barrel with a 1:20" twist. Thanks! :cheers:
