I use 3.6 under NG 147g and 4.4 under 124g MG JHP and it gives me 5 extra PF. You could go 3.4 & 4.2 if you want to be right on PF.
MP 5".

Great light lube and oil for EDC wear you don't want oil or great on your clothes, but I would use grease instead of oil for high volume shooting and practice. I shoot 300-700 day 3X week and only use Slide Glide grease weigh depending on tempature. Very little wear after 1000's of rounds. I found oil and high round count resulted in lots of wear, especially rail wear in Sigs.I had metal slivers at one point.

Has anyone else had a bunch of issues with their SIRT? My first one had to go back within a week of owning it trigger went flat, got it back and happened again within a week. After getting ignored by customer service for a few weeks I finally got in touch with someone higher up and got a replacement..... now the replacement is acting up and I can't get a response from customer service. I feel like a dick whining about it on a forum but I can't be the only one this has happened to.
Which SIRT are you having troubles with? The 110 Glock or the new 107 MP?
I know NLT has been swamped trying to get the new 107 out but it has been hard to get ahold of them. I usually leave several messages, maybe a Facebook post, and someone does call back usually the next day.

Use grease for lubrication and any other gun lube magic whatever to clean and protect all other surfaces. Best grease is Slide Glide purchased right here. Apply to lugs (top and bottom), barrel end, barrel lug. Night and day difference.
+1 for Slide Glide and Frog Lube. I clean and use SG on rails after every use, usually 500-1000 round/day 3-4 days week. Never an issue. Same with Sigs and HK's.

I think there all up but from what I understand they are just around the corner to be released.

I don't agree with PO in production, bad idea, but I do support Trigger changes and grip stippling. Stupid to have to use sandpaper when stippling does the same thing plus it makes for being able to use the same setup as EDC. Not sure on grip reductions. Thats seems too much like full modification in a "stock" production class.

I didn't say anything and I didn't know that Laser Lyte made a weapons model specific trainer? Glad your happy with it.
I was just asked to do the Beta testing and I know several are shipping out for testing. So far I would say it swill be worth the wait if one wants one in an MP format.
I need to verify a few things today and will report back as ion as I have more time to review.
The few small things that I noted is that it appears to be a great copy of the standard MP and that the trigger mechanism in now solid state electronics so all of the trigger functions are no longer adjustable. Only the trigger weight which is adjusted with a hex screw in the back of the trigger mechanism once you remove the slide. Mine arrived set at #4-12oz.
Mine came with metal slide, a red take up laser, and green shot laser.
Factory mags work as do most holsters I have tried, Raven, Blade Tech etc....as long as they do not use the chamber to lock into like my Safariland.
Who cares. When it is actually available for sale it might be post-worthy but this company is so full of crap I have lost all interest. When you say available in 30 days and 2 years go by you loose all credibility in my book.
I bought a LaserLyte and that is working well for me.

You may want to get one of these. Just arrived for Beta Testing.

Just arrived today, MP SIRT for Beat Testing. More to follow shortly.

The Myth......
Just arrived for Beta Testing. More to come shortly. -
Your location would be helpful. Have you checked the classifieds section here?
Florida but willing to ship.

I run Redding dies for 9mm and 5.56 on my 650xl. For me the micrometer has made life easier. I use a Lee undersize die to eliminate setback problems on the 9mm.
Ed
The Dillion die is an undersize for the 9mm.
-
I use them every caliber I load including for .556 & 9mm and they work great on my 650.
I find the variances are operator induced with pressure at the bottom of the stroke and in variance in the de-prime cases. You do have to watch which plunger you choose. Try each and see which works best.

I traded my VV N320 for more Titegroup, 1lb for 1lb evenly. We both felt we got a great deal. Also, if you're paying msrp it looks like a pound of TG is about 20 bucks while the VV powder is over 30.
For me, Titegroup is it. I load my 9 and 45 with it.
Funny how folks think N320 is so expensive when it is less than a penny a round or $10.00/1000 more than TG. What you pay in haz mat, bullets, and shipping are far more expensive in the whole equation. I know, I know, this has all been hashed out before, I just find it amusing.
-
Out. Anyone know where Titegroup is at?

they're gonna lose a lot of business with a move like that....these pistols are easy to work on for minor breakage...and most of us that use them competitively don't have the time or the budget to be sending pistols back to S&W for a easy quick fix.
Not to mention they told me 3-6 weeks ;'). Today, a customer service person told me that they would take a trigger bar out of a pistol they were destroying and send it to me. We'll see.
I have several MP's, but set up for different things and different models and I don't want to have to cannibalize one for the other not to mention that depending on models some parts are not interchangeable like sear blocks, triggers bars, etc...... I don't want to cannibalize my EDC to go to a match and visa versa.
The HK VP9 comes out any day and from what I see and have heard so far it will be a game changer in the striker fired world..... looking better all of the time.

OK, I have been scouring the country trying to find a MP "H" stamped trigger bar as mine broke so no matches or anything for me. In doing so I have found that not only are trigger bars nonexistent but most all parts suppliers are out of almost all MP parts even ones that you never hear of breaking or wearing out. Seems odd.....
So, for the third time I called S&W and inquired about a trigger bar and was again told that they were oh-of-stock and that all parts were going towards production. I asked if they knew of any parts suppliers that may have one, and I made mentioned that "I guess I had to keep an eye out with Brownell's or Midway" and was told that I would be waiting a long time as S&W was no longer filling any orders for them.
In addition, the S&W rep said that corporate had made a recent change in that they will no longer be filling any parts orders for mail order and other " parts suppliers" as they want to require everyone to return their guns to S&W for repair and upgrades.
As with most statements company people make, who knows,..... YMMV.

OK, I again spoke to S&W yesterday and was told that they are out-of-stock on trigger bars and other "parts". I also have noticed that everyone is out of most all MP parts so I asked about the shortage.
They said that corporate had made a change in that they will no longer be filling any parts orders for mail order and other "suppliers" as they want everyone to return their guns to S&W for repair.

Still can't find on if anyone has one,..... please?????
-
Not with the new VP9 striker system coming out next month. Seems by many that it is, by far, the best striker fired system in all categories. It will be priced right so hopefully it will get good support.
-
Thanks, I saw that one, but they show it on the website but when I called nada....
Even SW says they are out as they are sending all to production. Say 6-8 weeks for weapon return if I send it in.
I have matches to attend to ;').
Next?

Trying To Find: S&W "H" stamped Trigger Bar Assembly as mine broke the spring eye.
Brownell's, Midway and SSS are out. SW will not send out the part.
Any help located one would be appreciated.

Trying to figure out what type of rifle and/or chamber caused these 308 Win brass to end up like this. There are 11 flat sides, if that makes sense, that travel all the way up the shoulder. Click on photo too enlarge.
Any Ideas?
Who else is using a Redding Competition Seating Die for 9mm?
in 9mm/38 Caliber
Posted · Edited by Trident
No my mis-speak sorry I was thinking of a different die. The Redding uses the Ogive.
What does "Production or Open" have to do with using the Redding Comp Die?
