My friend has a .40 schueman barrel and has no issues.
-
The mbx mags with kkm barrels is the issue if that is what you have. Not reloads. This is a known issue as the mbx mas come up a little higher in the front vs sti. I have a ton of comparison pictures of different barrels, mags, and guns.
You will have to take some off the top of the mag or some off the bottom of the barrel feed ramp.
Other than that, MBX mags are awesome and I'm glad MBX is replacing mine with ones that will work. If you are having this issue, I would suggest contacting MBX For resolution.

had my first fail on the 140mm 40sw mag shot a local match and had 2 nosedives.. used it for the first time, the spring on the mag was so soft .. ill shoot it for practice first before i shoot it at a match again.
I have this issue as well. I found the bottom of the barrel was hitting the front of the mag, creating a ding. The bullets are getting caught on that ding. I talk to Adrian and he said that it seems to be an issue with kkm barrels being a little longer. Adrian is replacing my mags. Another person I was shooting with had the same issue and is running the same barrel, but he took a little off the bottom of his fead ramp to correct it. I'm not brave enough to do that.

I don't thonk any are out there. I think freedom gunworks sells them for a little cheaper, but don't quote me on that.

I'm curious if anyone has or has tried the EvoShield EvoScopes Sunglasses? They look like they might work well for shooting, but I'm curious how they compare to other stuff out there for contrast on the target and front sight.

I run 200grn bbi. Im running n320 and wst at 1.80 oal. They run great for me and wst usually doesn't take long to get in stock. I'm switching off n320. It's just too damn expensive.

Awesome. More than I thought. Thank you.

So, I'm looking at upgrading from a 550b to a xl650. I have a few add-ons like the roller handle, bullet tray, strong mount with bench wrenches, and eXtra toil head with powner measure. I was wondering what can move to the 650 and will all the dies go to the 650 as well? I plan to sell the 550 to help pay for the 650.

Oh I didn't know this was a competition. Lol. Ask the shooters at the matches you go to. You need to feel good about who you choose. Thanks
If OP shoots locals, then he'll be shooting PGC matches and Chester is the club president.
Can anyone suggest or at least tell me who is the best 2011 / 1911 Gunsmith in the low country ????
I just moved to Summerville and need to get Some work done on my Race guns!
Thanks,
Marc
Welcome to Summerville. If you have any questions about local matches, Feel free to ask. Robert Thornton and I are the match directors for USPSA and Zack is the steel challenge match director.

I like C&S ultra light hammer or an EGW lightened or a Koenig hammer
STI sear with a true radius and cut the relief angle larger
C&S reduced power mainspring
STI titanium hammerstrut
STI disco (polished etc.)
this is a great combination and the STI parts make it a bit cheaper
drop in parts mean: dropped in a bag and ready to sell... there is always something to adjust
Bob doesn't sell them as drop in. He says they are close to drop in and for best results take it to a smith. Bod does work to the group which he states in the write up and Brazos doesn't just drop them in the bag, for sure. For me, the kit dropped in at 2.25lbs and I only had to fit the safety. Nothing in a 1911/2011 is 100% "drop in" but the Brazos kit was damn close. I've fit quit a few safeties, so that wasn't an issue for me.

My brazos tuned trigger group was dropped in at 2.25lbs and I love it. I did have to fit the thumb safety.

Actually I use Standard polishing wheel on a bench grinder with white polishing compound. 5-10 min on an untouched mag body, gives me a mirror (our close) finish.
-
Yup, same one I have.
-
I need a recommendation for polishing wheel for my dremel for my stainless steel 2011 mags to a mirror finish to inhibit rust. The polishing kit I purchased only get a dull finish.
Give me your mags Wally, I'll polish them. Takes about 5-10 min each mag with my wheel.
-
Ah, got it. I know absolutely nothing about that.

Area 6 had 397 shooters and 12 stages and the half days worked great.
Maybe I'm getting messed up. I'm not including the staff days.
-
Getting DQ'd is a lot like laying down a motorcycle for the first time. You got to get right back on it and go or you'll never be the same.

What it did NOT define was that you had to be tethered WHILE shooting - I tried to unhook myself and then shoot freestyle - of course this got called a forbidden action because that wasn't the "intention" - gotta love that word!
Stage designer slip up. He should have stated that you had to remain tethered for the entire COF. The stage is legal for sure. You don't have to like it, but I often use props in my stages to get people to shot OH/MH. I once stated that a cat carrier be moved from point a to point b without throwing it. I saw people doing all kinds of stuff like putting it down to shot, shooting with it bracing the SH, and shooting everything and then grabbing it. The higher HFs were simply shooting it MHO. It makes people think. The stage in the OP forced more than MHO, it was also an awkward body position and strange movements. This was a good one from 2013 GA state where you where handcuffed to a table.
-
I'd say they can do whatever they want when their arm is touching their bodies--their body is not a prop, a barricade, nor is it the ground.
+1
The intent of the rules is to not brace shooting arm with anything when doing SH/WH only shooting. Everything else is far game.

Area 6 did half day format. 10 stages in 3 days would drag the match out too long in my opinion. 10 stages in 2 days would be an easy half day format.

4.7 N320 1.180 oal 180gr .400 BBI makes 171pf in my edge. Mixed brass. You shouldn't have to throat it with that, but it helps.
-
I use the EGW U-die and have never had a bulge issue.
-
i have done the same thing that jl said, but i have found the easiest thing is to switch the bows and restake the trigger shoe to the sti bow, it's really very simple once you do it. if you want to try it , e-mail me and i'll get some pics together to show you how. bedellcustom@yahoo.com
Does anybody have these pictures. I have searched the heck out of this and just can't find how to do it.
Wondering the same

Hey guys,
I have a gun going to be built soon. I have questions about breaking a gun in "in the raw" prior to finish. Is there any real benefit to this and is there any special care that is needed to an unfinished gun? Currently my idea is to go with a cheaper finish until the gun is good and broken in, then refinish it in hard chrome. My thought is that breaking in a raw gun is going to require another break in period after finishing. Thanks in advance.
