Everything is where its supposed to be. Pins, clips, etc

I have not done that before. I'll pm you. It functions, but loading it is a pita

I have the opposite problem. The lifter gets caught on a hook from the bolt release. Causing me not to be able to load rounds into the tube without holding the bolt release

Let's see if I can describe this without taking pictures. The lifter gets stuck below the bolt release, I have to depress the the bolt release to free the lifter. Make sense? What can I do to fix this problem?

Its not that hard, pay around with scrap material to get a feel for it

Its the only powder I currently have and I have tons of it. I know 5.8gr would get me around 1100fps with 115gr. Anyone try it? and how did you like it?

I start with 800grit sand paper and more to 1000,2000, and 3000. After gettin a nice polish on what ever your working on, 3000 is all you need to bring it back.

Thanks for the info, I have a ton of IMR4756 laying around, Im gunna test a load with 115 to 1100fps to see how I feel about it

Has the CORE been added to the Production list? If so, this is great news! The last I heard it wasn't legal for production. It currently has not, I have contacted S&W a few times and I know a few others that have requested them send in the paperwork needed. We are not allowing classifiers to be sent in on a core but we are pretty open to let people shoot it, I also shoot it in IDPA as a shoot what you carry

Modify your slide stop according to brazos instructions, both my STI's would premature slide lock with one round in the mags(round hitting the tang you file/dremel off) Havent had any issues since

Dam, forgot about crimp. thanks for the heads up on what you use

Finally got around to setting up my xl650 for 9mm, 38super was the norm. I am curious to see what everyone is running for say minor loads, I currently do not shoot production but plan on shooting IDPA soon as these two M&P's are carry guns. The 5in model is a CORE with a RMR02 dot movement is not going to be an issue, the dam thing is always gunna move but I have come accustomed to getting the dot on track quickly. 4in is a pro series. Really been looking at power pistol due to the fact of running lower gr's makes good velocity and more rounds per pound, but if there is something better please let me know. I have a ton of MG 124hp's laying around so I'll load some of those and have a few cases of 115fmj's on the way. Thanks in advance

Can we please see some pics? Its honestly really close to what SAI does, without the overpriced job.

Run grams, I had TTI springs and followers and too many issues, not I run TTI basepads and grams internals

Fluting also helps with heat, I had issues with my M&P9L CORE getting too hot. So we cut the slide, fluted the barrel, and ported it at the same time. now she stays nice and cool after long strings

Im running dawson's on my 9LCore and love them, plus you can shoot production if you like just by taking your optic off (in my case RMR)

Wish I had seen this post earlier, you can not co witness with the mrds, made that mistake and now running an RMR RM02

124gr MG, 8.3gr IMR 4756 at 1.225 is my load

Im running MG 124hp, 8.2-8.3gr IMR 4756, 1.225oal out of my Trubor and love it, plus Im running a *thumb rest [generic]* as well.

Thank you for this post, just ordered some!

Shipping my CORE off to them either this week or next. Man am I glad I saw this post. Ken Bird are you able to have them set the weight? or Is it how ever it comes out?

Well until parts come in its hard to tell if the mag was hitting the ejector or not, I will be ordering a few things today (some I have pushed off) but what the heck.....just get em in and get the gun where I want it

Thats what I was guessing too, only used one mag when she bent so I'll look at it, ironically enough I was gunna order a new tuned one from you guys

38 super comp 124gr MG HP, 8.2-8.3gr IMR 4756, CCI SR

No, I was only shooting one round out of a mag at a time
