Long story short, yes. The KKM has been flawless out if the box, and all I'm shooting is Glocked brass reloads. It's pretty ridiculous how much nicer the KKM is in general. Both of my LWD barrels had to be sent back to LWD due to FTF issues with LEE Bulge Busted brass/jacketed/shortened OAL reloads. Did you read thread in the link I posted?
Just got done reading it. Didn't see to much on the barrel. How is the "button" rifling on the KKM?
It seens the people having problems where using the wrong spring/guide rod or a poor fitting LWD barrel.
Also, thinking of doing this to a glock 21sf. As far as the lower goes the 21 and 20 are 100% the same right?
-
Thanks for the info. So the kkm runs better then the lwd barrel?
-
Thinking about ordering one of Lone Wolfs long slide with the Fastfire slide cuts. I plan to use this more for full power loads. Anyone with first hand experience? I see very mixed things about them on the net.

WHAT IN THE HECK!
So I replaced the stop for like $40 bucks, whatever ya know. So I have my nice new slide stop on everything going great or so I thought. I just got done cleaning the gun and the slide stop is wobbling again! This has 150 rounds on it. Why does this keep happening?
So mad right now!
-
Finally got out to the range today, of course it was a billion degrees out. Good news is it was my grip. I know point my dominate hands thumb up instead of forward. No more issues! Now if Id just stop flinching so much I might get some decent groups.
-
Thanks guys, gonna mess with my grip while on at the range and see what I can do.

On my 10mm Match, just about every mag the slide will lock back at random with bullets still left in the mag. Two questions, I think my grip may be the problem. Can any of you post your grip? My right thumb comes real real close to the slide stop with my current grip. Also I'm running an 20lbs spring on a SpringCo Recoil reducer. Could the spring be to heavy? Would it be safe to run an 18lbs spring when I'm running a 165gr moving at 1400fps?
PS: Also running the Henning firing pin block, did it before and after I put the block in. I have since lost the stock block so sending it back to EAA might not be an option unless I get a new block....
-
As explained in some other threads, the Tanfoglio firing pin block is a horrible design that does not add any "safety" to the pistols. So yes by default it is not engaged.
Well that's something, no point in keeping in the block then is there?
There is if you want to stay Production legal.
I don't shoot competitively so no worries from me.

I just picked up the Henning firing pin stop, when I toke out my firing pin i noticed the pain could only be pushed in while the firing pin block was not being depressed. Shouldn't that be the other way around? When I got the pin out I noticed the cut on it was facing down, this is the only way it would go back in as well. Is this working as intended?
-
Is the pin starting to separate from the lever portion that engages the slide? These are two separate pieces that are pressed together. Some times they break loose from one another.
Yeah thats whats happening.

Here I made a picture

Cleaning up my witness and I noticed the frame stop pin wobbles inside the body of the frame stop its self. Is this a sign of anything or just replace it and keep it moving?
-
On my magazine that came with my Match I can put 14 in, I do notice the magazines sliding into the frame with a little more drag then empty but nothing that stops it from dropping free. Also my follower has never gotten stuck. Guess I'm lucky...
-
I run the Sprinco with the 20lbs spring. I run all types of loads from the 135 up to the 200. Had a little frame to slide contact with the 18lbs spring, with the 20lbs spring as far as I can tell there is zero contact. Also it cycles fine with the 20lbs spring as well.
-
"Sent my 1,000 round down range today.."
Dang, hope them were reloads and not factory ammo, unless you got real deep pockets.
I bought my Match in .40, and then got a 10mm barrel, wolff 20 spring and some mags. Had to take a few thousands off the barrel hood to get her to lock up but she's been running perfectly for a couple years now in both calibers.
Have fun!

All of it was from Underwood Ammo, good prices on "full power" loads.
-
The pin I ordered just got here from Henning, he sent the one for his trigger with the threads for the nut and not the stock one. I did some poking around on the EAA site and ordered a pin from them ($15!). Hope all the stock frames have the same pin size!
-
Ya know another idea popped into my head while trying to fall asleep. I'm thinking if the new pin walks out I could take a ice pick and place the tip in the end of the roll pin and give it a tap to expand the pin. Does that sound like it will work?
-
If you don't like the pin and nut system, try swapping in a new roll pin. It's possible the current roll pin just doesn't expand out to get a good friction fit against the frame.
Thanks I'm gonna order one now and give it a try. The pin only drives out one way right?
-
Get the henning trigger pin bolt. The roll pin sucks and I replace it on all my Tanfoglios.
The Henning bolt is kinda spendy, but it stays put and makes it a lot easier to take the trigger in and out.
You think so lock tight on the roll pin will hold it? I dislike the look of that bolt on the side of my gun
-
The matte part collects stuff really easily.
I use a brush (nylon usually, sometimes bronze) and some Simple Green or CLP.
Yeah I think my finish on my pistol is whacked. Even my ring on my finger seems to be dinging it up.
Also as like a side question. My trigger pin keeps walking when I shoot. I'm just gonna try and replace it and see if that helps.
-
A far as the hard chrome goes, my 2 hard chrome frames look great still after several years of use.
Usually what looks like scuffs and scratches is just material from the holster that is transferred onto the frame, so some CLP and a paper towel cleans it up.
The part that seems real fragile is the the part that is frosted. Can you think of a way to touch up that part?
-
I must say the "hard chrome" on the frame is the weakest finish i ever seen on a gun before. I know at some point ill have it re-done.
Why do you say that?

+1. Why do you say that?
I had to work quite a bit trying to roughen up the area around the base of the grip so that I could epoxy on a magwell.
I'm getting a lot of holster wear and nicks and dings in the finish in a fairly short period of time. I mean I had my S&W in nickle for ever and with a good cleaning the finish looks almost new.
Also I googled around for gun smithing stone and see about 1,000 different options. What one do you recommend?
-
Thanks all. Gonna try the stone first. Hope i dont screw it up but Nealio has yet to steer me wrong!
