They only work in 30 round mag bodies, but they come as 10 round capacity and you easily modify it for up to 30 yourself.

True. But an affiliated club can run outlaw matches too.

Definitely a concern. Lifetime warranty but that doesn’t help if it breaks a lot. Thinking of switching over to the Guard system, that way the ejector is on the bolt.

Lots of uppers available. Another magazine choice is the MEAN Arms Endomag, which fits inside of Pmags, so no mag block needed. I just got some but haven’t assembled them yet. Limited to 30 rounds unfortunately.

Scott Perman makes grips like that. Should find it here with a search.

IIRC, this is what Kevin Imel taught in my RO class. It was a while back.

I once had a single shot score on three targets...on a Virginia Count stage. Two extra hit penalties, no extra shots. ?

I have owned 1911s from 6 makers. I much prefer my Springfield Armory and Dan Wessons to my Kimbers. Prices not too different.

This is my experience too. I much prefer spending the extra $$ and just get a whole second gun. Conversions are a pain.

I didn’t use anything titanium or expensively lightweight except the Taccom barrel and handguard.

Okay, I just weighed it. 5 lbs 2 ounces, no magazine, with Vortex Razor and a laser mounted.

Couldn’t really say. My heavier one is an SBR, not really comparable. I prefer the lighter one. I have not done extensive testing looking for lightest recoil, as I don’t take this division all that seriously. I went back to shooting higher PF production loads to simplify.

Mine’s 5 lbs even. Didn’t cost that much. QC10 blem lower, Taccom UL barrel and CF handguard, mission first stock. Wanted it light for kids to handle.

I got started just this way. I ended up building a dedicated PCC because I got tired of always switching the buffer, mag block, and Law Tactical extension. I like to keep my SBR in its proper caliber when not actually using it in another. I have some Mean Arms Endomags on preorder, and may go back if I don’t have to deal with the mag block. Not all bolts will work with the LT extension. The hole in the back isn’t standardized. Spinta works, JP doesn’t. Can’t answer for others. I concur, both mags pictured appear to be modified UZI.

Yes. They count all four at first, then as you get more they drop the worst ones. Best four of six, then best six of eight. After eight the older ones start going away.

They don’t expire, and four is enough for an initial classification.

My JM had tight chambers. Worked okay, but new brass loaded/unloaded considerably easier than range brass. Never measured the throats. No accuracy issues. I mostly shot FMJs though. Probably not much help.

Haven’t shot one, just handled it at LGS. Really liked what I saw. Interested in range reports also.

About midway between the holster and weak hand. Feels natural, acquiring my grip that way. Also, any later would cost time on the rare weak-hand transfer. With a single-sided safety at least.

No penalty. Another question with a setup like this: Say there is a hole or two in the swinging no-shoot and all the required holes in the shoot targets. You know the shooter only fired the required number of shots. How do you reliably tell which holes in the shoot targets score as mikes? As the no-shoot is impenetrable.

We’ve used small c-clamps or a cheap vise grip pliers. Neither is ideal, need to constantly check that it stays tight. Maybe lock-tite the c-clamp?

Usually 4, sometimes 5. 2 on Tuesday nights. Only 2 clubs locally.

I’ve only had one case separation. The next round would not chamber. My son tried several times, so the mouth of the piece was swaged inward enough to catch it with a cleaning rod. Came right out.

Well, I think it’s good they did this. I wish it was retroactive. If my percentage drops a class, I don’t want to be competing in a higher class than where I really belong. That said, I had to go take a look at my classifiers. Most of mine are legacy, so the hit factors don’t show, so I only used the more recent ones that are used for classification. Of those 11, only 3 would go down with the new hhf. My recent PCC initial classification would go up 4.7% with the new numbers. I guess I’m not really concerned with this. I do wish it was retroactive though.

Well, I stopped by a LGS yesterday because I heard they had one. I’ve been looking for a Production division gun I actually like enough to buy and wanted to handle this one. I immediately liked the H9. Felt enough like my 1911s so little adjustment should be necessary. Trigger pull seemed acceptable. I did note there is less room on the frame for my left thumb, makes riding the slide more likely, but that’s minor. I read a bit about it overnight and went back and bought it today. Handling it at home, I noticed that the beaver tail is enough wider than a 1911s that it could form a hot spot on my right thumb knuckle. This is a problem I’ve had with other guns, as my grip is very high. If the beaver tail were narrower, though, the slide would tear chunks from that knuckle, there’s so little clearance. I think that my hand will toughen and a callus grow there so I’m not really worried. The barrel and slide have more play than I would expect from a 1911 in this price range. Magazines are very stiff to load. One of the three I could barely get the 15th in, and I have strong thumbs. After I got it loaded, it did not seat in the gun nearly as easily as the others. Maybe they’ll break in. I fired the only only box of (cheap) factory ammo I had on hand, Federal American Eagle 115 FMJs. No malfunctions. I like the way it feels. I was not shooting for accuracy, just banging at steel plates, but a couple of things became immediately apparent. First, it shoots around 3” low at 10 yards. I expect the bullet to land at the top of the front sight; not even close. Second, I really hate that fat front sight with the huge orange ball. I’ll be contacting Dawson Precision after further testing. I may need a new rear sight as well. Weighed the trigger pull on my Lyman digital gauge at 6-1/4 to 6-1/2 lbs, with a small amount of creep and overtravel. Not nearly as good as a 1911, but I think I can work with it. Maybe it can be improved. So, after very brief testing and handling, I am very hopeful. I need new sights, more magazines, a holster...some Dillon time.
