Maybe I did something wrong,but when I went to STI website only 1911 SS they had was the DVC 1911. What happened to Trojan and all the others?
You should be looking at sti dvc open.

Another way to check this would be to remove the mag catch and see if the issue persists.
Yep that’s how I checked it. I think I found the issue. I pulled the grip safety and very slowly cycled the assembly. If I pull the trigger just enough to release the hammer it will catch the half cock, with just a slightly more firm pull it misses the half cock position. I believe this would be caused by the sear angle being incorrect and basically just barely sliding off of the hammer engagement as opposed to “breaking” that engagement. Does that seem reasonable ?

Thanks for the responses. I’m going to go check for the clicking sound and the mag release clearance now. The gun ran previously with an sti trigger then a modified svi trigger. I’ll let you know what I find.

Just put a new trigger in STI 2011 and it is intermittently catching at half cock. It is not hammer follow as the gun is still on the bench and has not been shot. I have tried backing out the over travel screw with no success. I've tried increasing and decreasing the sear spring pressure to no avail. I'm at somewhat of a loss as to what to do next.

While I have not had any negative experience with freedom I have I’ve witnessed 2 different people/weapons that had issues with it in .223 and since that I’ve stayed away from it. The people supporting freedom and white box do you know how tight the chamber is in your pistols ? I have to reject anything that is on the tight side of a Dillon case gauge.

I’m in the process of moving and my press will be packed up for a considerable time. I normally run long loaded .40 ~166-167 pf 180gr. I haven’t had any feed issues with factory length ammo in my STI’s. Does anyone have any recommendations for inexpensive practice/match ammo that performs.

I like and am using Uncle Jerry's comp, The Titan has it's uses though, keeps pesky RO's out of personal space and gives your video a dynamic shake for each shot. HaHa. I've heard good things about Robbie Wheaton Comp but haven't had a chance to test one.

I enjoy shooting SC, trap, and skeet traditionally but am looking forward to doing some report pairs with match saver and loading on "pull".

I sent my app in. Three years ago me and a buddy tried Rocky Mtn 3G for giggles and got hooked on going to Raton. So this year I'm going to see if I an hang with the HeMen. I can't wait.
HaHa, I tried that last year and found out I couldn't. HaHa Had a great time though.

Is there not a squadding link in the receipt of payment email you received?
I didn't receive a receipt. Or the normal Practiscore Thank You for registering email. I've registered for matches before and after without issue.
There is a phone number for AMU... I got right through to Daniel

I only looked on the match page, and didn't see additional contact information.
Sent Mr. Horner a PM, received no response. Who do I need to contact and how ?
From first postIf you have any questions please do not PM me (I will not get it... I promise) send an email to:ActionShooting2004@gmail.com
Daniel
I don't really use or check Facebook either. I was exploring other options as I sent an email on 9/22 and 9/26.
Thank you for the response, I'll wait to hear from you.
UPDATE- Mr. Horner contacted me, so the issue will be resolved. Thank You.

Has anyone found a way to contact match administration ? I signed up at the same time as the group I wanted to squad with and have been charged for the match. I received no emails or additional information following that. When the rest of the group received the squadding info, I sent and email to to the contact on the website main page, received no response. Waited 2 days and sent another email, no response. Sent Mr. Horner a PM, received no response. Who do I need to contact and how ? I should be in the match, but I understand glitches happen. There needs to be contact from the match administrators though, as they accepted payment.

WHAT ? It's not on a named road, we're screwed. [emoji3]

I have a similar issue, except I'm not running an auto drive so the press just stops on the index stroke. If I'm really moving the case pops out but usually just stop and push the case into the shell plate. There isn't a catch with my case feed and I'm using a Dillon shellplate. I haven't looked into it any further than bump the shell back in and continue. I generally load any brass that comes my way and it might happen 5-6 times a thousand. It seems to be every now and then the shell just hangs up and doesn't fully enter the shell plate. The timing at that juncture is fairly important as the shell plate is moving, as your video shows. I did however just load 1200 new Remington brass and I don't think it happened but might of once. Sorry I can't be of more help, but it's not as frequent for me and I just stop.

It could be that i'm just not intelligent enough but I can't seem to find anything on Safariland's website, haha. I use a safriland belt with ELS clips for limited, single stack and 3-gun. I really like the els setup, but had no clue I could do the same with the holster (QLS). I ordered one ready to have the ultimate "swiss army" belt only to find out it doesn't mate to the 014 holster. Am I missing something ? The versatility of the belt is great but holsters have to be unbolted to change them out.
Also does anyone know of a revolver setup for the ELS setup. I can't find them on the website. I'm using a S&W 625, with the straight posts for moon clips.
Thanks

My 014 is my favorite holster, it took a bit of tinkering to get it just right. I have it bolted directly to the belt so no worries about breaking it off. Not being a smart ass but are you doing anything with the lock while using the tensioning knob ? If my lock is on I can try to rip the belt off without successfully removing the pistol, with it unlocked I can bump the pistol free.
In the spirt of hijacking, i've noticed some play or looseness where the ball is clamped down. It's just a bit of movement and not a functionally issue but I have all 3 screws cranked down and it's still there. Does anyone else have this issue ? Any fixes ?
-
I just found this and that is a fine piece of engineering, very impressive. Now doing .40 can the last station chamber check to get rid of that pesky glock bulged brass ? I have some ideas but nothing as creative and ingenious as your fix for the spa .45.

ULINE sells commercial products, I use buckets from them, quart bucket will hold about 200 .45, The larger buckets seal when you shut them. For test loads they have plastic bags with a label surface.

I built one similar to above for our club but used all thread between the target and mounting point so it could be "calibrated". Mine also didn't look nearly as pretty.

So has anybody tried to estimate his draw to first shot speed ? Obviously it's a show but in the show how fast is the draw, he's shooting from the hip or before the gun is fully up to eye level, out of a leather snapped holster, usually his thumb is over the grip and fingers over the slide, holster is at or just in front of hip. So what does that equate to for a draw time 1.0 .9 ? Faster ? Slower ?
I can't hit anything without the sights being up to eye level, and I've never shot a stage that started with hand on gun.
-
So I just got the "list" of possible places to get stationed. I'm in Augusta GA now. What would you go for ?
Fort Campbell, KY
Fort Knox, KY
Fort Hood, TX
Fort Huachuca, AZ
I really liked Fort Bliss, very close to all the BLM land in New Mexico, so I like the idea of Fort Huachuca but I don't think it can be considered Northern AZ

This will be my first match with considerable movement with a slung weapon. I've done matches with a slung weapon but they were set up to have very limited movement with said weapon, so single point slings were possible. I can't imagine a single point would be effective with any amount of movement. What are effective sling options for a match like this ?
Are we running bayonets on all weapon systems ? Pistol and shotgun stabbers
Thank You

Again thank you for the help. It seems to be resolved. The back bottom corners of the trigger bow were hitting the frame. A bit of sanding fixed it right up.
