Sounds like the grip is cracked again

Wife shoots her 226 stainless in co.
I've bought 3 different guns for her .
She keeps going back to the sig.

When you stated 4.8-5.4 grs for a 124.
But didn't realize you were stating the "published data"
Any how it's all good and ALL OF US should be using this info with a grain of salt so to speak and starting low and working up with a chrono etc.
My guns are all 5" bbl.'s,
My wife's sig is 4 1/4 I think and it make 128 PF with the 4.1 grains of WST
Anyhow everybody should start lower and work up with any load info!!!

I prefer a plate. I like the dot a little higher. I can go back and forth from CO to open and the index is very similar.
I actually like mine a little higher also.
Seems like I can see around the gun better.
Probably just "feeling" but on a timer I'm better with splits with the slightly higher dots!
Again personal preference and what you get used to like ZZT said, a little dryfire goes a long ways! (Paraphrased)

Made it fine at a couple of area matches at 130+
Honestly was very surprised at the amounts you stated.
But I guess that's why we should all own our own chronograph's
I've got s second scale I'm going to pull out and check both side by side after supper tonight.
I leave that powder measure set up all the time.
I load 4.1 of WST for 40 , with 200 gr Bayou's and it makes 172PF in my Limited guns, so that measure never gets messed with
other than to check it every couple of months to make sure it hasn't moved. It's always at 4.14-4.16grs with a 10 throw average. FWIW

I'm at 4.1grs wst with124 rn, fmj or tc. At 132 of out of 1911's and x5s

Their going after the EDC market

I use sig romeo 1 6moa , mostly. But I've got 2 ff3 and they're solid.
No problems with battery cap .
Dropped gun on sight and hood cracked. Called told them what I did. They sent a nib replacement, 3 week turn around mail box to mail box.
No bitches here!

Problem with the cheap holsters is that they hand funny and I can't get the grip I like, so you have to add a holster hanger to get the right fit and end up spending a bunch of money anyway.
I don't think anyone has reinvented the wheel yet, and if you don't mind full wraparound maybe there's a local guy near you that does custom kydex semi-professionally. He might even be able to get the cant and camber the way you want so you can have a more natural/comfortable draw stroke.
Great thought here!
Going to talk with a local and see what he's willing and able to do!
Thanks for the idea.
Otherwise I'm going to get and Comp tech/Blade tech type, since I've already got an extra hanger so I can get it where I want with that!

Pat
Actually got one of those in the deal I made with the gun.
Getting my big mitt in the opening is the only problem so far with that!
Thanks for the input.

So I bought a 686 4" that TK custom reamed to 9mm and cut for moon clips.
Been shooting limited with my 929 and I know I can use the same holster
But
Want to set up another belt for L6
moon clips for the 6 shot are tiny and need different posts/ holders than the 929/627 holders
So thought I'd look at some new holsters etc.
Don't care if it's covered kydex. Time to first shot is with in .003 in a Kydek or race holster.
Also not looking to spend 150+ dollars.
Figure y'all may have been keeping up with the newest and greatest better than I have! Since I haven't!
My old holster is a 8-10 year old DAA LOL
Thanks for any input, PM me if you have some special info.
Mods if you want me to put this in WTB I will BUT, Right now looking for info more than buying etc

For me, I like 200 when I'm not able or willing to practice live fire much 100-150 rounds a week
If I'm shooting more than 150 rounds a week I find 180's a better option for splits (tested on the timer)
I Find anything heavier than 200 even with out much live fire time feels really slow and gives no
advantage on the timer in accuracy splits. Meaning split times with consistent two alpha hits.
So for me I'd want to stick with 200's if I preferred them NOW and not change things before a major match

I run these in sht colt cases, so you'll probably have to bump them up with your chrono to get what you need

Pretty sure all but one of us understood what you where doing.
Guess it's always good to remind all of us about safety

Young man at our last monthly match.
Tied down tactical holster, small Comp on his MP and a magwell.
Asked RO ( I wasn't working the match) what division is he shooting. RO answers CO.
My reply: Not with a magwell, comp and tied down holster (I,e, ? on tied down holster all together)
RO says it's just a local match! I smile and say: Call the MD over and at least let this guy know what the rules are.
RO doesn't do anything!
End of match.
I get this young guy, good kid, helped reset etc etc.
Explain where to find the rules for CO division.
He tilts his head!
I explain his gun is currently set up for open, and the holster only works if he's LE and wears all his duty gear etc etc (think that's still the rule )
HE says great I'll figure out what I need to do or just sign up for open until I figure out how to shoot this game !"
Tell him it was great shooting with him. HE's been back to the clubs practice matches and signed up for IDPA this weekend.
That oughtta be fun to watch when he shows up there!!! Though they're a good bunch of guys and will help him the same way.
Any how "softly softly catch the monkey" was an old saying I learned while living in Australia!
Seems like a soft approach worked and he is figuring it out. FWIW

I cut the threaded nub off and recrowned mine

I like the S&W factory mainsprings the best.
I agree
But
If you don't want to manipulate the factory spring. The Wilson Kits are an easy install with generally good results.
You still have to adjust the strain screw or loctite it.

File or dremel the safety's to fit your hand. Relieve the offending areas.
Plunger sounds like at minimum needs to be deburred.
And then polish both caps and the rear of slide stop and frt of safety. Check proper alignment of safety detent.

Just bought another revo for icore L6.
So it doesn't take much for me to shoot revolver!

For 50 bucks it works great to give carry optics a try.
Put it on my wife's gun and 4 years later it's still on probably 15k through it without a problem.
I've used them a couple of times other than hers and never a problem
