I had an extra Legion slide laying around, so the strikers got swapped out. I can't tell any difference in the trigger with the stock striker.
I would take a close look at the striker lug on the one from the BG tuned slide to see if there was any "polishing" of the lug/sear interface. If not you should be at the same function level with a stock striker assembly......
Good luck in Kentucky!

4.8 grains of N330 under an RMR 124 grain TC Matchwinner to 1.125" seems to be the ticket. This is a 15 shot group fired from a rest at 25 yards. If you exclude the 3 shooter errors, they made it inside a 1.5" circle. For any kind of P320, I'm very happy with this group. HOGRIDER, thanks for the tip!!
@RangerTrace: Those are EXCELLENT results!
Glad to help!

Another option?

But VV lists the Max load for a 125 gr JHP at 3.8 rains
They list the Max load for 115 grains at 4.0
As many have stated over the years.......you have to take these book values "with a grain of salt" as they are being shot out of a 4" test barrel and always express conservative data.
Scroll up in the VV data to a 124g Alsa Pro FMJ @1.142" OAL and you see max for N320 at 4.5g!
Always start with YOUR gun/barrel at YOUR preferred OAL, and test with a chrono while looking for pressure signs from your brass/primers.
Also compare data in other publications.

You did, I'm just being cautious and posting my results. I will go 4.7ish tomorrow....
Of course.........I understand; and I would also work up in small steps as your dealing with the 4.7" barrel.........

Go here to get the firmware update:

Then watch this great video on installation/update:

If it still shuts off/fails, then definitely CALL tech support!

Started with 4.3 grains and didn't make it over 925. Gonna bump it up and try again on Monday. I did discover that my new GGI P320 has a slower barrel that the GGI P320 Lockwood. Both 4.7". I'm probably lucky I made PF last weekend at Texas State.
I may have already mentioned it...........but Luke at KKM said I should be in the 4.7g - 4.8g for my 5" KKM barrel to come into it's "sweet spot"..........
Good luck!

I just picked up 4000 Montana Gold 125 gr JHP 9 MM and I want to use VV N320 powder and I was thinking about 3.5 gr which puts me about right in the middle of the load data. I just will use it for practice ammo. Anyone using this combo have any past experience with this.
3.5g of N320 works great with a 147JHP; however, as @Sargeadvised, the 124/125g JHPs will like at least 4.0 - 4.2 depending on OAL.......

Got the MRH in yesterday, and did run into a slight bit of interference with the LOC not allowing the locking lever to engage freely.
I can lightly "tilt" the grip backwards, which raises the dust cover off the magnets; and the locking lever easily engages. My issue appears the left side of the grip, right in front of the mag release housing, is contacting the holster early. Putting a bit of down pressure on the grip also shows interference on the right side; again right in front of the mag release housing.
BTW: Steve at Everglades sent me the same pic as above; and said:
QuoteThis will probably fix it........
@zzt and others: do you feel the same mod to the top of the holster would remedy my issue? Adding pics for clarity......
Thanks!

Want to say THANK YOU to everyone for sharing your experience.
Truly appreciated!

IMO, N330 is way to fast for 9mm major!

A great alternative for those that don't want to make their own...............

Regular maintenance, no. When you have the gun apart for detailed cleaning, check to make sure the spring is still good and the pocket isn't full of crud and the pin isn't walking and good to go.
Sounds very doable!
Thanks for your detailed feedback!

Thanks for posting the review and pics. I’m excited to receive mine. This will be my first 2011.
I too switched my order to the LOC, and David said it wouldn’t affect the build date. I placed the order March 1, so should be receiving it soon.
Which grip texture did you select, and do you like it? I prefer aggressive and went with the S3, which I’ve read reviews of being a cheese grater.
Since I have "retired" hands, they aren't as tough as they once were.....so I chose the S2. It's plenty aggressive for me.
May want to do a personal assessment of what you've been used to; and if you have any doubts, discuss it with David. I feel you could send the pistol back, while it's in new condition, and have the grip swapped if your not 100% satisfied.
I share your excitement on waiting for it to arrive! You'll love it!

Competing in USPSA matches is where I learned about toolless GR's. The Dawsons worked well for me, or I wouldn't have kept them in a match gun. As to whether Atlas makes a good model, I've never used one so I can't say.
Either one eliminates keeping a paperclip as a required bit of kit.
11 minutes ago, shred said:I've used Dawsons since he invented the toolless guide rod a couple decades ago. In all my competition guns. So, figure more 20 years and well over a quarter-million rounds downrange. Never had a single problem with them.
Yea, I've used a lot of Dawson products over the years, and never had an issue. Just haven't used the TLGR in a competition pistol.
I am very OCD on the maintenance and regular cleaning of my pistols. Would the TLGRs require any specific or additional maintenance requirements I may not be familiar with?
Thanks to you both for your feedback!

I put Dawson toolless in everything they'll fit into. So much easier.
21 minutes ago, ima45dv8 said:Toolless. Like shred I prefer Dawson, if available.
I've used Dawson before in a fun/range STI; but never in competition..........so @shred and @ima45dv8you would prefer the Dawson over an Atlas for competition?
THANKS for your feedback!

I've read several posts for and against the tool less guide rods.
Looking for recommendations from those shooting Limited type 2011 Competition pistols.............do you prefer the one piece GR that uses the take down tool (paper clip) or the tool less?
I really like the tool less for convenience during take down and/or cleaning, and am considering the Atlas unit. But if the seasoned veterans here deem them prone to failure, I will stick with the one piece with take down tool.
Thanks for your feedback!

Thought it would be more appropriate to put my follow-up post in the Open Pistols section.............

Beautiful DS! Did you buy it off the shelf or have it built?
If built…. How was the actual lead time compared to their estimate at time of order ?
I actually ordered a DS9 Hybrid on February 7, and then switched my build to the LO Comp once they announced it. Their web page shows current time 14-16 weeks. My LOC was ready to ship in the 13th week.
I definitely wanted a specific list of options and coating combination; so I ordered one. For those looking to purchase "off the shelf" Shooter's Connection in KY is a Platinum Dealer.

One point that hasn't been mentioned is the relative reliability and maintenance upkeep of 2011s vs. a CZ based platform (excluding Open which is its own separate thing).
I shot single stack minor for 2.5 years before switching to CO and landing on a Tanfo. One of the key reasons I'd be hesitant to switch to LO using a 2011 now is the lower reliability of the 2011/1911 platform. I seem to see far more 2011s choke or have issues, both pre-LO and now with provisional LO vs. people shooting CZ platforms. While I agree I'd likely shoot a 2011 that 5% better than my tanfo, I'm actually not sure if it's worth the relative tradeoff in reliability if it means the increased possibility of having a bad malfunction that would drop a stage much more than that. I also feel more comfortable with extended cleaning intervals on my Tanfo vs. my 1911, especially shooting 9mm, which is just nice overall not worrying too much about cleaning before local matches
After a brief season in Production using an S2 Orange, and now switching (from CO) back to the 2011 platform for LO, I can respectfully disagree as IMO the function/operation of the CZ fire control group is extremely more complicated that that of a 1911/2011! And I honestly feel the historical data would prove that platform to be one of the most reliable/easily maintained designs ever used in competition.
As @ltdmstrnoted in his experience, I think the numbers speak for themselves!

It would be interesting if somebody like Christian sailor showed up to shoot limited optics. Wonder if something like that would draw other competitors in or just scare them all off
Not sure if this event drew National attention; but he was competing with a DS9..........
Looking for a proxy for 124gr Gold Dot.

That RMR MPR Nuke definitely has a very similar profile!
IMO, you may need to load a JHP to get the terminal velocity close to the Gold Dot's performance.....
Good luck!
