Turns out the mainspring finger was tweaked a bit to much. A little bend to correct the pressure on the sear and the problem was solved.
-
mine does
Thanks. I guess I have to strip it down and see whats going on.
-
Does the STI Steel Master have a half cock position? I just noticed mine isn't doing it.

I am one of the team Captains for Rudy Project. If you have any questions I would be more then happy to answer them for you.

For goals on the same stages I keep a spreadsheet of my times and my goal is to go out and beat my best time recorded. Can be just by .01 seconds. I just compete against myself and let the scores fall where they will.
-
I'd be interested in seeing Matt's work when done as well.
-
Out of curiosity did you consider a micro dot to open the ejection port area more?
-
Good topic Scott! Some very interesting points of view.

I shot all weekend with one on an open revolver with no problems but I don't think that really qualifies.
-
lmao, considering I nearly crapped myself when I found it laying on the bench that makes me feel much better. I did put it back in the spring and, hesitantly, tested it. It worked so I figured I was right. Nice to know it is useless anyway. I put in the Wolff hammer and 14# trigger return springs and feel a huge difference. Thanks for the answers Toolguy. You just may have saved my upcoming shooting months events.
John, are you loading your own ammo (federal primers) , or shooting factory?
If you'll be at LPRGC or OBRPC in the coming weekends, I can bring you an 11lb and 12lb rebound spring, I should have a few spares laying around.
That would be great alecmc. I am reloading my own ammo w/Federal primers and I plan to shoot both OBRPC and LPRGC for practice before the PSA Shootout.

Also, is there a guide pin inside the trigger return spring? I was able to safely remove the original spring but then found this pin on my bench. The only place I thought it could have fell out of was inside the spring.
-
Do you have a suggestion for the recoil spring?
-
I have a 986 so I believe it has a reduced mainspring already. Not knowing this I purchased the Wolff kit and it came with a 13#, 14# and 15# trigger return spring. I don't know what is currently in the 986. Since my open centerfire pistol may not be finished by the next few event I thought I would try this revolver. Heavy double action and a very tired forearm, lol. Just trying to get it usable so I don't have to cancel or miss out.
-
Two questions...
1. Will putting in a lighter trigger return spring alone help with trigger pull weight?2. How in the world do your remove the trigger return spring to replace it?
I am new to revolvers. Like less then a couple weeks new.
Thanks, John

What are your experiences with this if you have one? What's the good/bad?

135s from BBI. Best feeding
How's the accuracy on those bbi heads ?
I have had great success with the BBI heads. I find them very accurate for me.

Here's the Sig P320 Robert Burke (The Sig Armorer) and I did.Work Done:Robert - Bead Blasted Slide/Trigger/Adjustable Sight work (XD Adjustable Rear/Stock P Series Fiber Optic Front)Tactical Texture - Texture workHere are some better pics of the finished product:The finished product is pretty much perfect for me, but I might have to try cutting 3 coils off that recoil spring like alma did just in case!
That slide looks great!
-
Nice runs alma!

If I remember correctly he is running a Sig frame. His top end is a 5 inch lightened slide with a 5? port cone comp with a Cmore . He is running 38 Supercomp from Atlanta arms at around 135-140PF. Pretty standard SC gun set up. It is incredible to watch him practice and see what he can do pushing it and then he slows down for the match...LOL

Thanks for the info Doug. I guess this is just one of those custom deals where there is no base firearm to work off of. Didn't hurt to ask I guess?
-
Thanks Scott. You are always a great help.
-
Anyone know what 1911 model Max uses for the base of his 38 super Steel Challenge guns? I know his gunsmith is Dan Bedell but that's about all I know.
-
I think for the home gunsmith" the Dremel and router table was a fantastic idea. It may take longer but it doesn't require expensive machinery and eliminates hours of hand work. I say great job.

What is your PF with your 124/125 and what is your choice of powder? I am currently working a load up for my 1911 open and am trying to find a good starting point.
