  1. Are you using the matching followers? This kit on my XDM had the same exact issue and I had to go back to the factory follower.
  2. Where can you actually buy them? I'm looking to drop the hammer on one this season but not if I have to wait a year lol. Also I tested one out earlier this year at a match. Over my Versamax it's much lighter but I'd say a pretty significant increase in recoil. Others who were worried about the recoil also tell me the Breda still ended up being faster though. I personally like the machines precision barrel. I'm big on slug accuracy and it seems like they are too.
  3. Can you clarify the Pro match registration? The way Im reading it with the "no registration code just an application" it sounds like its not going to be 1st come 1st serve like it always has been. How is the application process working this year for pro?
  4. Apex has an upgraded extractor. When I sent my pistol to Mod 1 to get worked over he said mine was broken and swapped it out with the upgraded piece. I haven't had any ejection issues whatsoever since. I have had failure to feed and failure to fires issues. I polished the feed ramp and chamber entrance to a mirror finish and that solved the failure to feed. Still working on the failure to fires though.
  5. First click didn't work so I was like 2 seconds in. Hopefully it works out.
  6. I was wondering, I wanted to run it on my own and incorporate it into my training regimen. All I can recall is what you just listed lol.
  7. Is there a sign in tomorrow? I'm still at work for another hour, my relief didn't show.
  8. I'd also love a source that discusses competive shooting prior to SOF.
  9. I'm giving a presentation on 3 gun and I was going to start with the history of it. I know the general history that it started with a SOF 3 gun match but I can't seem to find a good resource for more specific information. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot Dustin
  10. I had the problem. My Versa Max locked up when it was really cold. My pistol and rifle felt sticky and sluggish. I've since switched to Italian Gun Grease and lucas.
  11. Thanks for the info. What type of reliability issues are people having and how common is it?
  12. This is my experience also, if your looking for a 2lb pull with the FFT you will need the Competition spring kit to go with it, Don't use the Competition return spring thou, the factory S&W return spring actually works best if you want a 2lb pull. Seems like when I talked to Apex about this setup they recommend against using the Competition return spring with the FFT. So FFT, Comp striker & sear spring with factory return spring. (FYI the factory return spring is lighter than both that come with the Apex FFT and FSS trigger kits and is stronger than the Apex comp spring. I've been running this setup for about 5,000 rds with no issues. So for a lighter trigger pull do you want the return spring to be heavier? The spring I just pulled out of my M&P is heavier than the spring in the competition spring kit. By like a lot.
  13. Are slots still open? I have 2 friends that want to come down and shoot it if possible.
  14. Thanks a lot for the reply. Sights are already on their way. Everything for the frame and slide has been done or is being done. It also has the Tungsten GR and spring. I read that the FFT kit only comes with 4.5lb spring not the competition 2lbs. Did this change? As for the RAM, is it worth anything? I had it ready to order and was told it was a waste. does it actually do anything noticeable to the reset?
  15. Does the Apex Flat Faced Trigger kit come with all the springs in the Competition Spring kit or would I have to purchase the lighter springs separately? Also while I'm going over all the internals, is anything else offered like a firing pin spring or trigger bar or anything? I'm building a replacement for my XDm which is completely worked over, so I'm trying to do everything in one shot so I can have something equal to or better than what it's replacing. Thanks Dustin
  16. Did it seem to have a preference between the 115 and 124 for you?
  17. I shoot 3 gun with 9mm and occasionally USPSA but I have a stock 40 barrel for USPSA where power factor matters. Also no I wont be loading these. I still can't find decent local sources for powder and primers. According to the email I got back from KKM, they say that 115gr seems to do the best. I'm not a fan of going that light especially when I run into the occasional 100yrd pistol steel but with all the M&P accuracy horror stories out there I'm more inclined to listen to them, at least for the first batch of ammo.
  18. I just got a 5" 9mm KKM barrel for my new competition build and I'm about to order some more ammo. For those that run a KKM barrel, what bullet weight does it seem to like best?
  19. That sucks. I don't know how much rigidity I'm willing to give up. Especially at $90. I wonder if I could just attach one of my cobra belts to my busted up Blade Tech and see how that works out.
  20. Thanks for the replies. How flimsy is it exactly? Is it noticeable with a full load? Is it thicker than a standard stiff plastic core riggers belt like the Vtac or Ares? How thick is it compared to blade tech or AA?
