Mine will be here probably next week. I'll be glad to provide input here, but y'all will probably just think I'm biased...lol...
my DS9Open has run flawlessly and I seem to shoot it better than any of my previous Open guns if accuracy is an indicator. My match % of possible points is higher with this gun than it's ever been.
Congrats!
I'm hoping for end of April/first week of May! I feel confident it will be worth the wait!
Good news on your Open accomplishments!

They should if that is the case. You cannot understand that by looking at the website. All they would have to do is create the write up that you just did in your post and that would answer all the questions I had.
Thanks, it helps a lot.
Glad to help!

Looking forward to hearing about your experience with this gun. I am definitely interested in one. What are the lead times for this pistol?
This is what's showing on their website:
QuotePlease allow 14-16 weeks to complete this build
They are so slammed with orders; but were hoping to have mine finished in ~12 weeks. Here's hoping!

Heavy springs also drive the nose down. Best option is to find a weight that does what you need the gun to do reliably then stop there.
Absolutely!!!!!

I did think about that, but I am wondering if the Hybrids are using the same ignition components? I was not able to understand that from their website.
Looking at the "Specifications" of a DS9 Hybrid vs the LO Comp; it's stated that they both are using the Koenig Hammer, Sear, and Disconnector. There is a lower (0.5#) trigger pull weight on the LO Comp.
During my visit, I actually asked a lot of questions concerning the comparison of the two pistols as I had originally ordered the DS9 Hybrid. I also inquired about the fire control components; and was told they shared the same items; but the LO Comp was receiving a higher level of fit/finish/tuning which was contributing to the 2# (and below) trigger weight.
After shooting/handling both models, I upgraded to the LO Comp as I definitely wanted the SS grip along with the DT shielded thumb safety and Nitro Fin 2 slide stop. The LO uses their latest Competition SS grip along with a custom competition magwell.
For ME, the fully optioned LO Comp I shot/handled fit my hands like a glove! Using 124g match loads, the SS grip also felt better balanced and more stable vs the same loads in an aluminum grip Hybrid.
I think the website doesn't really express the necessary details to accurately/fully understand the differences between the two............
HTHs!

IMO, Edmond has one of the best understandings of how the P320 functions; including it's safety mechanisms! And provides very easy to understand videos of such!

You could probably just order one of the "regular" DS 9 Hybrids and pick the setup you want....but I like the lack of front sight on this model.
I also think the AL grip and a steel magwell is the way to go for a 2011 setup to keep it well balanced but light enough.The LO Comp model has the same sight option setup as the DS9 Hybrid. There's a front sight "delete plate" that occupies the slot when customer requests Optic setup only.

Ah so the stainless grip is part of the price increase. I think I would prefer an Aluminum grip for the 9 mm platform.
After visiting MPA, I feel confident you could request a swap to the Aluminum grip. They are very accommodating......

Note that they dont drop right in older Mr bulletfeeders. You have to cut off a little from 1 side of that spot its not much and took about 15 seconds. It also doesnt fit with original mounting system I had to cut off 1/2 of one of the rods. again 15 seconds.
The DAA seemed to work out great I havent done a swap with it yet though
Per DAA, modifications are needed for older MBFs built prior to 2018..............
QuotePlease note:
This Pre-Set Nose-Guide is a drop on fit to all the Mr.BF units produced from 2018 and later (the units which have the hanger that clamps onto the motor gear box). Earlier models – the ones which had the round aluminum rods and round Delrin puck hangers – will require some DIY fitting. You can still use this new part – but you will need to slightly widen the slot for the Nose-Guide in your Collator base before use, and modify the shape of the magnet holder piece to fit next to the round mounting rod on the base plate.
Watch the tutorial video for installation instructions.

There is a difference and it's larger than your photos make it appear because of the angle you took the photo. Even with the angle you used the difference is still obvious. I have the same KKM barrel.
When I had my mini kaboom with the p320, the case was blown out in the small space that is not supported on the factory barrel. Also, it's not just the bottom of the case that isn't supported, it's the diameter in the chamber as well (at least in my examples). If I stick a round in the factory barrel there is lateral movement. The round will wiggle. No such thing with the KKM, it has much tighter tolerances.
I'm sure your correct on the appearance due to the angle of my photo. It's also hard to actually see the poor chamber dimensions of the stock barrel with it's black finish.
I do feel, based on the fit and accuracy of the KKM, it's a superior barrel compared to the stock Sig. And that also relates to "much tighter tolerances" as you pointed out!
-
IMO, there's not any difference to speak of when comparing case support of a Match fit KKM barrel with my stock Sig P320 MAX. Here's a pic showing two of my match loads: 124g JHP @ 1.080" OAL, both in Win fully processed brass.
Early on I experienced the slide not fully going into battery during some ransom rest testing. Also showed up when hand cycling the slide. Come to find out it was being caused by me using 1911 length recoil springs which were definitely shorter than the stock Sig springs. After talking with ISMI spring co and TSA, both recommended I switch back to the factory length springs. ISMI sent me some different weight springs to try; and this completely fixed my issue!! It appears the 1911 springs will work fine in the 4.7" Sigs such as the AXG Pro......
At this point I feel these FOBs are being caused directly by case failures along with improper loading practices.....or, an improperly modified pistol that's not functioning as designed.

can anyone help me i cant seem to fix the issue on my rl1100. reloading 223 and the indexing on my shell plate keeps spilling powder.
When I owned/used the RL1100 for pistol, I had also tried several of the aftermarket "stabilizers" to keep the cases stable during rotation. What worked for me was the "zip tie" method; along with a smooth, consistent operation of the press handle itself.

My Buddy and I were at the range this morning practicing shooting. I broke out my ProChrono made by Competition Electronics. I have had it about a year and have used it about six times.
All of our loads were giving consistent velocities. Except my Buddies 9mm load. I was using Sport Pistol under either Blue Bullets or Everglades bullets and I got velocities about what I expected. My Buddies 9mm load was 231 under Xtreme bullets and instead of his loads being in the 1,100 FPS range as expected they were 600 FPS or so. We were thinking this was odd as his loads were fine in the past.
I then took my carry G19 and alternated his loads with mine in a mag. One of his, one of mine etc. The chrono gave the same as before. Mine around 1,100 FPS and his around 600 FPS. I was firing them and they did not FEEL that much different??? This is one of those things I would not believe if I had not been there doing it.
Can anyone offer an explanation? Have you ever seen this before? I'm stumped:)
Thanks in advance,
Keith
From the User Manual:
QuoteOn sunny days, shiny, light colored or smooth projectiles may cause reflections which can induce velocity errors. Be sure to use your diffusers on sunny days. However, this may not be enough, by itself, to correct the problem. You can move the chronograph to a location in the field of a shadow cast by a building or an opaque wall. Make sure the sensors have a clear view of the sky but the chronograph itself is within the shadow. An alternate method for this is to use shields taped on the sides of the guide rods to create the shadow. Be sure to use cardboard or something similar that will not cause any problems with ricochets. This will eliminate reflections from direct sunlight, while still assuring that the chronograph has a direct view of the sky. If you are having problems with reflections from shiny bullets or arrows, another remedy you can try is to take a black marker and color your projectiles with it. This will greatly reduce glare and may be needed if you have to use the chronograph in less than ideal lighting conditions.
I have found, with my Pro Chrono Digital, that in certain lighting conditions I could get erroneous readings from reflections off of certain bullets. My fix was to clamp an old pillow case over the diffusers which acts like a "shade tree" directly over the top and/or sides as needed.
Also, my SOP is having the center of the Chrono 10' from the muzzle of the pistol.

9mm 124gn 130pf
As @shredstated, you need more powder or a lower weight recoil spring!
IMO, 130pf is on the "weak" side of the 124g power curve. Grab a lower weight recoil spring calibration pack and find out what gives you correct function with ~3-4' ejection at 4:00 o'clock of your spent brass.
Of course, this all depends on the extractor and ejector functioning correctly along with the pistol being clean and properly lubed.

Does it happen yep but it happens with the trusty old 1911 and I'll bet just about every other gun too.
Hmmmm..........
Don't think a correctly functioning 1911 can fire out of battery................

I’m going to do LO this year, but I’m using a 2011.
I don’t see much point in using my p320 in LO, with or without the magwell.
Same here!

Thanks for the information HOGRIDER. I did purchase the gun to shoot both IDPA and USPSA. I took the gun out to the range today for the first time and it is a very good shooter.

I just received my MPA DS9 Hybrid Black w/Butler Cut today. For anyone who has this handgun what holster company did you chose for the gun.
Did you purchase the "Butler Cut" strictly to comply with IDPA requirements? If so, check those class requirements.
Red Hill Tactical has MPA specific holsters:
https://www.redhilltactical.com/19112011-Parts-and-Holsters_c_12.html
Or as already mentioned, GX Products if your NOT IN A HURRY to use:
https://gxproductsusa.com/gx-vice-holster/
If your planning on shooting USPSA Limited Optics, then the "open" race holsters are also an option. I chose the DAA FLEX:

Thank you! I did clean it thoroughly but I'll give it another go and pull the spring

With regards to the Redding Micrometer Seating Die, make sure you have completely disassembled the die and thoroughly cleaned and removed the "preservative" prior to using. Some reloaders have noted sluggish operation and inconsistent OALs due to failure to fully clean. (see attached file for disassembly)
Also, removing the internal spring (above the seating stem) will result in more consistent OALs.
HTHs!

And will either of the RP versions work with the MBF that has the mounting "pucks"? (The plastic DAA one doesn't, as the mounting rod interferes.)
That's a good question............probably best to ask Eric himself.............

interesting that it will work with the Pro models too as the DAA one apparently doesn't.
Even though BSPS states this in the description:
QuoteRPG2 CNC Bullet Adjustment for DAA Bullet Feeders
- This allows you to make tooless micro adjustments on the Standard and Pro Model DAA Bullet Feeders.
- No more screwdrivers for set screws or guessing what size thickness pads to use.
After discussing with Eric, he stated the Pro version is going to be released in a few weeks.......

I do like the idea of the threaded adjustments. It feels like when I move the bullet adjustment plate, it moves more than I want it to. It might be a winner with the ability to have fine adjustments.
I have started to try to measure the position and depth of that plate for various calibers/ bullet profile, and keeping a record for quick reference to set up the plate when I switch back to that caliber/ bullet profile. This way I am not trying to figure it out every time.
With my current setup, I'm definitely looking for that very fine adjustment that's just not there with the shims.
Ordering one this weekend to see how it does.
