check to see if the comp or the set screws have loosened

is that the gans one that was for sale a couple of months ago?

Do you happen to know how long is LSI backed up on guns?

have you tried the SV ones? they are lot more tougher https://infinity.mysparkpay.com/sights.aspx

if you want a almost guarentee no move sight just do like brazo and drill a 1/16" hole in the sight through the slide and put a 1/16" pin in it. if you ever want to replace the front the hole will be covered anyways with the new sight.

drizzle some wicking loctite into the slot and let it harden. or you can do like brazo and drill a hole for a 1/16 roll pin. or call STI and ask them to send you a new sight and fit it yourself.

the few caspian slides i have seen have numbers stamped ahead of the disconnector notch.

hmmm interesting. will head there tommorow and take a look

life would be easier if i could just buy one off the shelf.

Safety area is deliniated, but there is no " safety area" sign. people that have been there before where and what it is, but if a new shooter did something DQ able in it, would the DQ hold as its not marked?

this is one of the topics that people are afraid to share their experiences because of concerns about being called a racist. the few black shooters i have met in the PNW have been pretty good people. they seem to be the " silent blacks" that just keep to themselves , work a job and raise a family. Conservative types one would say. i can count on 2 hands the amount of black folks i have met at idpa and uspsa matches though. one guy i squadded with i asked him " how come you don't bring some of the brothers to intro them to this sport:? His reply was interesting and frank. He said" many of them are felons so they can't even have a gun". this guy is a construction worker that works in the big city i have found the shooting sports to be one of the most inclusive sports around. most shooter don't care what color you are as long as you don't do stupid crap and are unsafe.

i occasionally see cylinder style thumb rest on open guns. they seem to replace one of the mount screws. all i can find are platform style rest for sale online. So who sell the round ones?

one of the most interesting is people that the gun in the 1 or 2 o'clock position. many don't realize that even though the body has turned 90 degrees, the gun has not. so they actually need to turn further their body more than 90 degrees to avoid a D/Q. i see it happen at many a local match

i personally dislike uprange starts. i think more would have gone home early if there was a RO stationed in that corner instead of just you running the whole stage when we got there.

my cmore has a click switch. the switch is bad and i want to send it in. they want more money to replace the click with the same than with a reo.. i was thinking or just having them replace it with a regular reostat one. So are the click and reo go the same intensity at max setting?

So i am looking at the schedule. the last squad is scheduled to shoot at 17:50 . So assuming everything go to schedule the match with the one hour arb and closing ceremony it won't be over till 9 pm ? i have not been to SUPS for a few years. Do they have lighting and or a clubhouse?

Same crack as my friends CK. Your not the first

Is your load a compressed load with that powder?

a sized unflared case measures .370/1. so .380/1 is enough bell i have found in my experience. i loaded thousand fmj/plated/coated and have not had any issues. bell too much and one might see setback issues here is what dillion says https://www.dillonprecision.com/proper-amount-of-bell-9mm_350_16_3423.htm

what i think is happening is that it a combo of longer 9mm cases and your seating die down a little too much . turn the seating die out a maybe half a turn or one turn and reset the seating depth. as stated before set the bell to .380 with a case in the middle range of lengths . you will be surprised how much 9mm varies in length. set the crimp to .378./9 try this and get back to us with the results .

You are belling way too much. Also it looks like you are doing seating and crimp with the same die?

I bought 1k 147 9 and 1k 180 40. The 147 were about 2 grains over which I have found is pretty common. They loaded up and shot quite accurately. The 180 were short 1 to 2 grains which is odd as every cast 180 I have weighed has been 1 or 2 grains over. They loaded and shot like any other . The coating was quite good and uniform . No bare spots . Shipping was quick

if one were to put a metal grip on top of a plastic with a arched MSH would the profiles match? Found this vid and it seems to answer my questions.

So are the metal grips basically a plastic grip with a arched housing? i notice that most of them have a hump at the bottom.

i would love to try their bullets, but even with the 10% coupon they are higher than BBI or Bayou etc.
