Tripp Research 40S&W/10mm 10 Round Magazine
giova22 replied to giova22's topic in Gear & Accessories
Thank you I'm not sure they accept payment with a foreign credit card. Any advice for a gunshop with parts to tune a 1911? Thanks -
Hello, I would like to buy some Tripp Research 40S&W/10mm 10 Round Magazine to use my 40S&W Trojan for single stack (classic here) minor but they are imported in Italy. Next week I will attend the IDPA World Shoot in Talladega (Alabama). I will land in Miami and drive there by car. Can you recommend some gun shop in Florida or along the route that can have them? Thanks a lot Giovanni

Hello I use csb5 for 9x21. Same oal than 9x19, pratically the same cartrige. 4.2 grs 123 cast RN bullet 29.3mm o.a.l. 1050fps fiocchi primers in Glock 17. Best regards

Hello CSB6 is a very fast powder used to load 24 grams (7/8 oz) in 12 gauge shell. I use it for 45 acp. I believe is too fast for 9mm and 40S&W. CSB5 is used for 28 grams CSB3 is a little slower, i use it for 9x21 minor load with good results. Best regards

I use both springs.

Hello I have a spartan 9mm. I had extraction problem from the beginning. I installed an aftec and solved every problem. I'm at 27k rounds now.

Can I shoot 9x19 in a 9x21 barrel?
giova22 replied to Demetrio's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisons
Yes, you are right. The load is really hot but it's not a problem for my Glock. A friend of mine used the same ammo on a CZ75 SP01 and broke the extractor after about 2000 rounds but we are not sure is due to ammo. If you need 9x21 brass i can search them for you, they are really cheap here. -

I shoot leadfree 9x19 ammunition in my 9x21 Glock. The bullet is only 89grs and really fast (1400 pfs + or -) but i cannot see erosion. 9x21 brass here in Italy is the most common type and inexpensive. -

It's possible to buy firearms part from US if the value is $100 or lesser. I often buy from Brownell's when i need small parts. When the value is higher Brownell's apply an export license and in 3/4 months i can receive what i want. Some seller send articles of a value of $100 or less but most don't altough they can. Most of them think that sending something to europe is different than sending to Alaska. When i was in Afghanistan i ordered a bunch of spare parts using APO address and now i cannot buy a front sight from Italy. I believe this is funny. The next solution is to find a lowcost flight to US. :-) Thank you boys

No luck with speedshoter.com, this is the reply "No, we do not offer it." It's incredible, it's not possible to buy a small piece of iron. Thank you anyway.

Thank you Just send email to speedshooter.com to ask if they have this "Para Ordnance 1911 Fiber Optic Inserted Front Sight .185 Tall x .100 Wide, Match with DP or Factory Adjustable Rear 021-002" I'm looking forward to receive an answer. It's frustating to need something from US. Only Brownell's send something but not over $100 and they don't stock everything. Thank you again

Thank you checked the first stock only Glock sight the other only for STI.

Hello I'd like to put a dawson precision front sight on my Para-Ord P18-9. I cannot find a web shop that ship to Italy. I'm not trying to buy an howitzer just a replacemente front sight. Can you advise me a seller who ship to Italy? Thank you Giovanni

I have seen that only wolff gunspring makes a recoil assembly for mini-glock and they have a RP 14lbs assembly, i e-mailed them to know if they make (or can advice)a lower value spring but got no reply. Meanwhile i'm waiting for a reduced power striker spring, now to buy firearms parts from US is quite difficult. G25 and G28 are rare in Italy too, as already told you i bought it just to train for free with something similar the G17 and G22 already use, pheraps the G25 could be a better idea but i already own a mid-size G32 and like the idea to have mini-glock. Thank you again for your help.

Thanks for the fast answer. I'm using that ammo because i can have them for free, i'm a shooting instructor for my national police corp, we have a mix of Beretta 92 and large number of Beretta 84. Duty ammo for 380 acp is 72grs FMJ TC that is a special run for our corp. At the end of shooting session i like to use extra ammo in my G28 because i use a G17 for IPSC production and the have similar ergonomic. Most of time we shoot indoor so most of ammunition available i the short range. I'm going to buy a light striker spring to try. Thank you again

Hello I own a G28 in 380acp that works 100% with full power ammo. My corp use for indoor training a reduced hazard ammunition with 47grs frangible bullet, they work 100% with Beretta 84F but theyr recoil is not enough to run the Glock 28. I bought a spare spring assembly and started cutting half piece each time the bigger/shorter external spring. The pistol reliability improved a little but, cutting more and more, i arrived at a point the spring tension wasn't enough to keep the slide close. Do you have any ideas to make the pistol reliable with my training ammo? Sorry for my english

Thank you a lot waktasz, great help. Best regards Giovanni

Powder recommendations for 50gr Vmax/223 Remington
giova22 replied to Tripod's topic in Rifle/Shotgun
Vith N-133 25grs for 50grs works always for me in my 1 in 7" and 1 in 12" barrels. Giovanni -
I don't know if this can help you I had a Tanfoglio with the same problem, i tried everything (springs, extractor etc etc.) the problem where brass. The pistol jammed only during match. I usually use brass reloaded until they last for training and once fired brass for match. My range was selling MFS ammo so i had the opportunity to pick a lot of once fired 9x21 MFS brass and i thinked was a smart move to use them only for match (to have better reliability). To be short, sorting brass i noticed that the FTE where ONLY with MFS brass. Pheraphs you can try using different brass. I hope this helps.

Hi for my 7400 carbine i use this: 150 grain bullets Vith-140 53 grs about 2800 fps 180 grain bullets Vith-150 50.5 grs about 2550 fps I have no malfunctions. I use Vith powders because here in Italy they are cheap and easy to find. A friend of mine last week killed a boar (about 200lbs) with a scirocco 165 from a 30/06 Browing BAR. Front shot, dead in his track. Giovanni
