I saw some brass in Greece that I would like to know where it came from.....it's headstamp was IPSC 38SC. Lee Lee, If the brass was headstamped with IPSC 38SC, it was probably match ammo supplied by Geco Ammunition. They were the official Match Ammo suppliers for the World Shoot. Cheers .... Nope....I bought 750 rounds of the Official Match Ammo and it was headstamped Geco .38 Super.....the IPSC 38SC was from somewhere else.

Also, just what I am talking about....from the Starline website today. 38 Super Comp Brass (Small Pistol or Small Rifle primer) .893"-. (Backordered expected availability: 02/25/2012 ) Again, I love Starline, "we" just need another source.... Lee

Ha, hell send me that bucket....you'll notice I said practice rounds. Though I have not had any issues with it ever and I am sure it is not as good as Starline. I ONLY use new Starline at major matches. While I am practicing though, it's all fair game. I was informed my source did place an order for 50k piece.....20k are already spoken for and I expect more will follow. My goal was mostly to not be stuck with only having one source. I saw some brass in Greece that I would like to know where it came from.....it's headstamp was IPSC 38SC. Lee

I have a source that is engaging Armscor at Shot as an alternative to the often limited Starline .38 Supercomp brass and he is trying to guage interest. While I love Starlines quality I am always in fear having only a single source for this type brass. I mostly shoot the Armscor .38 Super RL brass in practice and it seems to work just fine. I don't know exactly how many times I have/can reload it but I know it has been 5 or more times without issue. Please let me know if interested and a guess on quantity you might want. Pricing info is not yet available.....just trying to see if there is any interest beyond me and my son. I will pass the info onto the potential vendor. Lee

You will not have any issues at all. I had (2) Infinity Limited guns built with Stainless Slides and Carbon Steel frames. That was the look Iwanted and they both ran like scalded apes.

My son and I have burned 64+ lbs of Autocomp using 125gr Hornady HAPs with great sucess. We have both 3 and 4 hole IMM Open guns. I have also recently re-tested 3N38 loads and really see no difference except to the bottom line. I say, run the Autocomp and practice more with the savings (and yes, I am aware that powder is not the expensive part of reloading). Lee

I use Pinnacle Studio.... http://www.commencefiring.com/files/videos/2011/Waco0319/LeeandNic1.wmv Pinnacle Website Lee

SV is doing it....ask and you will be surprised what they can do. Lee

You can request the slide stop be flush (add a comment in your Gunbuilder) or get a Bianchi frame (1" wide) and will will be a bit below flush. Lee

Carina, Call me... Lee

Horsesheet...redirection of gas pressure after the bullet leaves the barrel could not affect recoil. Someone will say the bullet is still in the barrel for some time after the "compensating" holes are exposed but as the holes are equally spaced around the bullet any potential benefit gained would be offset by the downward pressure of the opposite hole(s). Lee

Those options are for the trigger guard. On an Infinity metal grip it is a separate part. Infinity Standard Square (This is the standard S_I Profile) you can view at http://www.sviguns.com/1500.php Photo 194 Infinity Standard Round (This is the Standard 1911 Round Trigger Guard look) you can view at http://www.sviguns.com/1500.php Photo 177 Infinity Extended Profile (An Extended version of the Standard....I don't have a photo as it ispretty rare......Almost all 2011 Grips are the Standard Square Profile. Lee

In order......I would have: 1. Focused more on AIMING......our sport is POINTS/TIME......if you have no points, time doesn't matter. 2. Got more training...multiple sources....no one has all the right answers. Spend time with a few different instructutors and figure out what works for you. 3. Practiced more...live and dry fire. Lee

This setup is holding up well. I have shot it in 5 matches and a few practice sessions. It has held the zero since first being sighted. I don't know why C-more would have not talked to more shooters, especially USPSA shooters. I do like the thought of making the mount a rail....I had thought of milling one down but I got too excited when I first got the sight and it is working so I have't messed with it. Maybe I wil this winter when we get back from Greece.

Topic on C-More RTS Lee

Very true....I think that's why I said "I love the innovation towards improvement and trying new things".......almost took the words right out of my mouth . My question is why are ALL the big rifle barrel manufactures shooting "standard rifling" (standard in terms of a non progressive rifling) and are able to produce groups as good as 10 shoots groups at 1000yards under 5". Also why are most (I could probably say ALL, but don't know that for sure) the top Bulleye and PPC (where it's all about accuracy) gunsmiths still using "standard rifling" barrels. I know it sounds like I'm putting down AET and whatever they're going to call the new and improved.....I'm not....honest. Just more curious what the push was to get away from "standard rifling" was. But also alittle curious if this is "the new thing" why were not seeing it in other venues. No doubt in the long range rifle arena almost all manufactures are using conventional button rifling...I have one of those 5" 5-shot grouping at 1000 yards guns with a Shilen barrel. I am not sure it could get any better. In fact it is so good I have not shot more than 10 rounds out of it in 5 years. It is so good it is boring to shoot. I think the reason you don't see anything different in those rifle barrels is that you cannot have a CNC machine with a 24+" long tool doing a more complex rifling operation....too much flex. In a 6" or shorter pistol barrel that is a different story and that is all I am going to say about that... Lee

2. The accuracy gains will come from the new rifling design. While the AET barrels have supurb accuracy they tend not to do so well with copper plated or lead bullets. All Infinity guns I have every seen/shot are very accurate....many with sub-inch 5 shot groups at 50 yards from a fixed rest. I certainly cannot do that good holding the pistols in my hand but you all seem to be missing the key part of my posting. Lee

1. Some barrels have cracked in this area....almost 100% in Major power factor guns with really fast powders being used.....the reasons can be debated but something better could be done so they did. 2. The accuracy gains will come from the new rifling design. While the AET barrels have supurb accuracy they tend not to do so well with copper plated or lead bullets. 3. I didn't say anything about the slide.....the cut only reduces weight and in theory increase slide speed to cycle faster while leaving more weight on the front of the gun for balance. Infinity doesn't build something new unless it is really an improvement...Sandy/Brandon are innovators and more on this subject is to come soon. Lee

That is just where the end mill is stopping on its longitudinal cuts around the squared edge. It is not chatter... Usually such advances are limited to factory built guns but slowly bleed to the open market. I will ask Brandon what their plans are and post back. Lee

Ok, here is a peek at the new barrel...

Actually, Infinity makes their own barrels and have for the last 6 years.... The new barrels rib has a squared off back and a radius....the program they use to design the new barrel rated it as 3X stronger than the previous design in that area. As far as the new rifling.....I won't let the cat out of the bag without Brandon's knowledge but I will say it is designed to be easier on the projectiles where lead and plated bullets can be used in this new barrel without leading or shredding the plated part off. It is not polygonal... I have a photo of the new rib.....if Brandon says it is ok, I will post tomorrow. Lee
