[Atlas Gunworks Big Stick "170 mm" Magazine doesn't fit the IPSC Magazine Gauge ...]

AGW 170 mags come from factory with 4mm basepad. If you go to a 3mm TTI basepad they should make either gauge. The 4mm will only make uspsa gauge. 

[How Often to Clean Out 2011 Mags?]

Totally depends on the mag and range conditions.  A 24 round MBX mag in sand/dust.  Cleaned every time it hits the ground.  A stock 17 rounder, hardly ever.

Same here if it hits the ground it gets cleaned!

Different powders have different burn rates

if you have the ability buy 1 pound cans of the powders mentioned, do load development for each powder then go to the range and run back to back drills to see which one that works best for you and your open gun set up

I like HS6 with silhouette a close 2nd

I tried WAC and AA7 and didn’t care for them

 

This is the right way. You grip pressure and other factors play into the right load. AA7 and slow burning powders can cause your muzzle to dip if you have good grip pressure. With 9maj, pressure can be an issue with the faster powders. You xan also get some different dot movement and returns. The best way is as stated by rishii, by 1 lb jugs and test them till you find what you like. 

[SV IMM 38sc ejection issues]

Based on the optic mount it looks like a ejector tuning issue. Like others have said call SV and have them take a look before trying to tune or sending to another smith. 

[38sc factory ammo comparison?]

I have tried a few and most used tonhave sample packs that might be the way to go to test. I ended up using Eley because of the cost and they were at a lot of majors so I could order the ammo and pickup there and just travel with what was leftover. Also because it felt the best in my gun. 

[BUL Armory SAS SAW]

I have only shot a couple of BUL guns, but sound like some mixed reviews like alot of other names out there. 

[2011 LO 9mm....4.6" or 5"]

I have both, and I prefer the 5 inch. Like others said just preference. I just like the dot is a little more stable with less flip. Not that there is much in 9mm to begin with. 

[Dot or Circle Dot for Holosun users]

I prefer dot only. I found that when I had the larger circle turned one I would break the shot early as the edge of the circle touched where I was looking vs the center dot. Using the new comp model for the first time this weekend. I did like the 8 moa decently, but it was a little bigger than like. I am at 2-5 moa preference. 

[Par Time, Field Course]

We run them at our local from time to time. Although there is no rule. We keep stages designs a little simpler and more open to allow the RO to stay close for the second beep without interference with the shooter. 

[Ok, I bought into the rumors and ordered 10,000 Federal Small Pistol Primers from Miwall, and bought this jug 'o powder from Sportsman's Warehouse. I only use 3 grains, so I should be good for a while.]

Buy what you can, when you can. Lots of people were keeping only a years supply or so and over the last couple years were hurting and hunting primers. I keep 25k plus on hand and still buy replacement when available.

[Custom 1911’s]

Jeremy Reid or AJ Zito would be my 2. Although both have their books closed I think. 

 

[Which optic are you running?]

Holosun 510C

Not really, 140 max for 2011 and 170 max for single stack. 

I see that in the final rules. I either missed it or the copy I saw didn't say SS only for 170s. It will be interesting to see how popular it really is.

[Which thumb rest?]

Range panda is the way to go. Or the limcat wedge if you want a more comparable grip to other guns. 

[3 port or 2 port for 9 major?]

I like 2 ports and 2 popple setup for 9mm. 

[trigger inserts and stroking an Akai]

I use 3 alum shokbuffs to destroke my gun, but that is to keep the dot moving even less. 

[170 in a Staccato P?]

The new division looks like is coming with 170's allowed

[Super to super comp]

My gun runs them all with no extractor change. There are some minor differences but 38 SC, 38 TJ, 38 Super. But like above

It's does not really like the Armscor brand. 

 

I would take it and try before making any changes.

How do you like it and is there another firearm that is comparable to the Nyx? Do you use it both for carry and competition?

There are several others that make guns of the same size. The staccato C2 is about the same size. However the amquality and attention to detail is different. 

 

I use the gun to carry and for training and when I teach. For competition I shoot open so I shoot an Atlas Chaos! 

 

I really like the gun it's small and light enough to carry easily yet large enough to have full control. I have a couple thousand flawless rounds through it now.

So other than the crimp die (if needed) people can just use regular .38/.357/"38super"? 

 

This might be a game changer for me as I already load 38 special for my revolver so I have those dies. 

 

 

I don't know about .38/.357 but 38 super dies yes. There are very few things in reloading marked for 38 SC it pretty much a 38 super with a smaller rim.
