Pretty big for a CCW, but you probably know that. my 4.25 was painful for a while. They did so much ceracoat on the rails it was turning into sludge and putting the slide in slow motion. Had me chasing all kinds of stuff down. About 750 rounds in and a bit of rail polishing it’s now flawless. Very accurate.

On mine, that FS rod just didn’t have enough “axle” in the offset, It does now. I’ve loaded 700 9mm thus far, and everything is running smooth as a baby’s butt. One case made it thru upside down was my only issue. Wish I had done this a long time ago. Thanks for the input all.

And this thread is full of great info.

It really sounds like you are bump firing. Try concentrating on follow thru.

My 9mm set is only 3 months in. Who knows how much longer.

Perfect function, smoother powder bar return too

I couldn’t take it. prepped for surgery. Heated it a dull red, it bent easily . I was able to create more of an “axle” that did not bind. Mr dremel helped a bit too, opened up the radius a bit. Crikey, pics not loading

The McTrigger fix! Some of the guys above you were trying to tell me that too, and that’s what the fix looked like to me too. That rod should be mild steel and cold bendable. I’ll just bend the damn thing and bet I sleep better. I had just hatched a plan in my head last night to swap that measure with a spare I have on my 550 .44 setup. All good input from you all. I have learned, but I’ll be on my knees with a home improvement project for a few days. Carpet tear out and LVT floor. Thanks all.

I will keep this going. Cameo

That is what it looks like to me.

I just adjusted it a bit. Sent 100 cases thru in a dry run and it works well even with the FS rod tilted. I could easily bend this thing, and make it pretty, but I’ll wait till I have a spare rod to try. Lots to learn.

Just got off the phone with Dillon. They say the FS rod angle is normal. Really? But watching the Dillon vids, they all seem to have an angle, not a straight drop.

Interesting input here. https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/295424-dillon-powder-bar-return-springs/ I will see if I can ID the exact cause, but there is a binding issue when I set the PM up in what should be the proper position.

Don’t tempt me David. I have everything to make that rod go away.

No powder check yet, that may change. I predict If I don’t straighten this out, the fail safe bushing will have a short service life.
