My hypothesis is that the rifle primers don't seal the primer pocket as well, allowing gas to escape.

No

There's currently a fight going on between Sacramento and the counties on CCW; Brown says "shall issue" and the sheriffs want to keep "may issue" alive... We get along.

It looks like the port configuration is the same as this one which I opened it, I think with the big first port and 2-3 3/16" holes in the barrel it should be pretty sweet:

Fair enough, please consider it closed.

Gennaro, Tell me about your three port adventures? I have a 5" barrel (don't ask...) and a Limited slide in 9mm so I plan to open up the first port to meet the crown.

Civil disobedience Sarge Anyone know why GBs are not allowed?

I'm going to order some parts from Eric's shop in France and in the interest of saving shipping costs I'd be willing to group an order together and distribute it in the US. Let me know if you want in

My correspondence with Eric was back in August, it looks like he has both in stock on his website now: http://www.ericgrauffelonlineshop.com/en/34-compensators I want to buy a three port, let me know if you want to order together and save shipping.

I exchanged emails with Eric about it and he said he had the two port V12 comps, but not the three port V8 comps, are you thinking about putting one on a straight barrel for your Limited?

Is the comp steel or Ti?

I agree! I was ripped off once as a buyer on Armslist so naturally hindsight being what it is, my spidey senses started going off when I was lining up a buy on this forum with relatively user (some info that didn't make sense, plus a deal which seemed a little too good), but before I gave up I "figured what the hell" and asked him to send me the gun first. He did and everything turned out great.

PS: your racker is on backwards

There it is! . Can't wait to hear all about it, is the comp steel?

Full sized guns, no holes, 115s, shorties riddled with holes 124s, but I've been meaning to try 135s to take the edge off.

I've never had a problem with them moving in the plastic trigger, but a dab of nail polish at the corner of the screw and plastic should be plenty.

The concealed hammer

Here's what you need to do when adjusting overtravel: with the trigger all the way back against the stop, thumb the hammer back and forth, if you can feel it touch the sear, back the screw out; it'll give you reliable operation and save your sear from premature wear.

The Czechmate hammer is the best I've tried for a light pull and short reset:

I have very little patience for a buyer who posts "I'll take it" then starts asking questions, I might answer one volley of questions, but if the questioning continued I would likely move on. The most likely buyer is the one who knows what they're looking at, knows what it's worth and trusts the seller. Those of us who snap up great deals right away have reached a comfort level with the other forum members where we feel confident we're getting a great value for our money, we don't ask a lot of questions because we already know the answers.

Agreed ^

dossauce I see you're asking for empathy, but it's important to empathize with the seller and other buyers as well. As demonstrated above by warpspeed we are all individuals who have our own buying and selling styles when courting one another, there's no guarantee we'll be compatible

I've made 171pf with 8gr of HS6 under a 124gr in a 9mm case through a 4.1" barrel and it was fairly nasty. I don't recommend anything shorter than 4.5, but I think a 5" 9mm barrel with no holes is pretty sweet.

What type of mags? STI? SV? I don't have any experience with STI spacer mags yet. What weight recoil spring are you using? How's the extractor? Lightened slide? Buffer? There are a lot of factors involved in getting an Open gun to run right, but that's part of the fun right?!?
