I shoot ny friends max and I thought the trigger was garbage. I can't stand external extractors either. Too many problems with a gun I owned in the past makes me baulk at them. Other than that, the gun seemed decent.

I have had great luck with the Brazos pro series trigger kit. You will likely need to fit the thumb safety. I’ve personally used 4 and had friends and family use about 5 more.
What this guy said. I've bought 4 and they run great in every gun. About 2.5lbs pull without messing with anything.

+1 for the Brazos kit. I dropped one into my RO for a 2.5lbs trigger. Just have to trim the thumb safety As with any trigger kit.

This. All the way.

Like others have said. 17lbs mainspring, 14 recoil spring. I hear the max trigger is garbage, but you should be able to get it where you want it with some cleanup or better, new internals. I use a Brazos trigger kit in all my guns. You may need to take your gun to a gunsmith if you use any trigger kit, to fit your thumb safety. I do my own, but all the filing sucks.

4 years ago I picked up a base model RIA 1911. I didnt start shooting it till a couple years ago, but I have not needed anything since. I made A with it and it has been 100% reliable from the start. I added a dawson magwell and run dawson mags.
Edit: I payed $350 for it...
-
I can't answer what they use stock, but they are pretty heavy. I run a #17 main spring and a #9 recoil spring. That setup works great for me.

Look at the same term in the definitions.
The definition of sweeping is not the rule. The rule is "Allowing the muzzle of a handgun to point at any part of the competitor’s body during a course of fire." This is sweeping yourself.
Can argue it if you want, I'm telling you what NROI has taught me and has been won in arbitration already.

Maybe, maybe not. Keep in mind you can still get DQed for sweeping an RO if you outrun him and do indeed sweep him. But yes, the moral of the story is to haul ass, don't turn and ask the RO what you are supposed to do etc and then ask for a calibration, then ask for a reshoot and then Arb it. In the end that just looks like a desperate move to get a redo on a bad run
10.5.5 Allowing the muzzle of a handgun to point at any part of the competitor’s body during a course of fire (i.e. sweeping).
This was pointed out to us at a CRO class. It's the competitor's body, not the ROs. Sweeping is just an example, not the rule itself. There have been RO sweeping arbs won because of this. Is it right, no, but sweeping the RO is not DQable.

Hello,
I hope someone can help, as I have a problem with my new SVI in 40 S&W with getting my load right for feeding and ejecting.
I'm having the odd hiccup on feeding with my own loads, I'm using 180 grain, poly covered lead heads. 5.2 grains of N340 and a OAL of 1.14. It's not all the time, just some time, and it's either a failure to feed, or a failure to eject.
Can anyone spread some light on my my problem? I've tried a few different length, and powder but nothing seemed of completely cured it yet. What does anyone suggest?
What exact issue are you having? When I first started loading mollys I had feed issues, but was informed that I didn't have enough crimp. Different cases have different wall thickness and that makes it seem random. You should be crimping enough to put a line in the molly, but not enough to go through the coating. There is a measurement, but I can't remember it at the moment. If you crimp too much, you can cause the molly to bulge at the crimp line and cause a failure as well.
Also, with a 2011, load long to get ride of feeding issues. With mollys I'm at 1.180. With jacketed I'm at 1.200
Hope this helps
Also, yes, you will need more powder for long loads. I use to run N320, but switched to WSF and WST for cost and availability.

Grams pads will crack when the mag gets dropped when they are installed on a tube that is out of spec (too large) at the bottom of the tube. If you have to exert more pressure to install the U-pin into the BP while on the mag then just inserting the U-pin into an empty BP than you know the tube is just a little too large at the bottom.
For what it's worth, they were on Brazos tuned mags.

When I started I used mollies for practice and plated for matches. I messed up and ran out of plated one month so I ran the mollies. I havent ran plated since. 2 nationals and many level 2s with blue bullets now.
-
Like above, the Brazos kit runs great in mine. You'll more than likely have to have the thumb safety modified, but there is a good chance you'll have to do that with any kit.
-
I use to use grams but after 3 cracked, I wanted to switch. Couple friends of mine run dawson's and the pins were always breaking in theirs. I also didnt like the larger profile. So, I bought taran's. I'll never use anything else now.
-
I have one of these swagers. It was making the primer pockets too big and the primers would fall out of about 10% of the loaded rounds. I was using the correct swager size. I took it off after first using it and will not put it back on.

First scenario -- did the shooter continue to engsge through the port in the wall, or did the shooter engage through a new opening he had created by leaning on the wall?
It was a large gap between 2 walls that was intended to be shoot through. 2 targets were to the right somewhat behind a secondary wall to block visibility from the far left. 1 of the 2 was visible by just standing in the port. The other could be seen by leaning on or around the right side wall. No new opening was made.

2.2.3 Barriers – Must be constructed in the following manner:
2.2.3.1 They must be high enough and strong enough to serve the intended purpose.This is the reason the call was made since the wall was part of the shooting area and had not been moved from its position. The wall structure was not constructed to not allow it bend when it was leaned on. Had this been thought of during setup an debugging, a stronger wall would have been put into place. It is the fault of the stage setup and not the shooter. Unlike level 2 and up, we do not get days to debug all the stages, we get a couple hours. Also, you could have achieved the same effect by leaning forward and around the wall. The stage got gamed. This is much like a nationals stage where I hung off a piece of wood that was intended to brace 2 walls together so that I could shoot around a wall without doing a incredibly hard lean. It was not intended, but it was legal and I ask for a ruling from the RM before I did it. In this case the ruling was given after a few people leaned on the wall. I also watched a lot of people lose time trying to do this as well. I shot it straight up and my SS time was better than most.

With all due respect, you might recognize that DNROI doesn't make rules, and his emails aren't official rule interpretations. Only the interpretations published on USPSA.org and in Front Sight magazine are.
Also, Onepocket is right. We discuss rules and calls here on BE all the time. It's why we're here. It's good for the sport.
Untrue, I went through an e-mail correspondence/investigation with Troy and another individual after the 2015 SC State that was only given in e-mail and only to the individuals involved.
-
dnroi@uspsa.org is the proper place to ask questions about rules. The answer you get from Troy IS the final answer. He is pretty responsive. You should give it a try some time.

Thought I would contribute. I use these to hold my umbrella. There is a little plastic in the bottom that you can punch out pretty easy, if you want to mount it up higher on the cart.
-
Mine started deforming after a few months and the top wont hold as much as it use to.. I do put a lot of stuff in the top though. Zipper on the right side of the bottom compartment is busted. I wont buy another, I'll find something else.

I had no luck with MBX. I had way to many issues with them when I tried to run them.
I have 4 brazos tuned mags and they have worked great. They are 20, 19 reloadable and just fit the gauge.
I have my main 4 that I put together. Sti tubes, grams guts, and TTI 4g2 basepads. They are untuned and 2 are 21, 20 reloadable and the othe 2 are 20, 20 reloadable. I They have ran great for 2 years without issue and fit with room in the gauge.
I like to put a little grip tap on the bottom. I can't do that with the brazos.
On a side note, I hardly ever load any of them past 19.
-
I can recommend them as well. Run like a champ out of the box and have most of the upgrades that a full custom has without the price. Actually, I had a full custom FGW built a year back and the only difference is the slide cut style, barrel length (5.5), and SVI trigger. I had a custom serial number as well, but everything else is 100% the same as the CK.

Then don't get it. $100 in this game is almost pocket changeI like it, but not $100 like it.
Not getting it and $100 is half a case of bullets, not pocket change. I'm not trying to dis it in any way, I like it. I'm just a budget shooter.
Most reliable 1911 single stack?
in 1911-style Pistols

I paid $350 for a RIA 4 years ago to get in SS for fun. I added about $300 in parts. I have never had a malfunction and it shoots great. A year ago, I won a RO in a match, put a drop in trigger kit and a mag well. It has ran flawlessly as well. Once I switched to SS, I've only been back to limited a couple times. So, I have. A s#!t ton of rounds through my SS guns.
