Jeez 6 to 8 weeks without a gun. That sucks. Definitely need a backup gun in open. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

You are the gunsmith. Lol..... I don't know of anybody offering services. I had the Taran base pads for mine. They are pretty awesome. Comes with high power springs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

You're probably right but the gun has a lifetime warranty so I would think the builder would fix it. I hope so anyway. Lol. This gun is kind of a temporary deal while a custom is being built. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I am confused lol I was thinking 124g prices 3750 MG's jhp $360 3750 EG's jhp $422 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Oh gotcha.... but their 115's cost the same as MG's 124's. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

$420 for 3750! That's a lot more than MG. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

That one going down the side isn't a crack. I think it's a hair lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Looks like a defect in the metal with that pit in the front Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I haven't contacted builder yet. I'm just venting frustration. Lol..... my venture into open isn't going smoothly. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Just bought the gun like 3 weeks ago and put 950 rounds through it. Found this crack this morning. Uggggghhhh! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I guess bullet profile makes all the difference in the world. That's why it's important to do the plunk test. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

I tested CFE and autocomp of the same PF back to back doing things like bill drills and Blake drill. I couldn't tell them apart. Seemed identical. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

How much is it for the special build carbide bit? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

If you are not having any pressure signs and you have a load that works I wouldn't bother. I kind of regret doing mine at this point. Of course, I did it myself and didn't do it it the right way lol. I didn't think it would be so hard and didn't want to send it off and be without the gun. I'm very impatient that way lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

For my Q5 I used 124g blue bullets and they have to be loaded SHORT. Something like 1.095 if I recall. All the MG JHP's I have loaded for my glocks (1.135") don't fit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

LOL....... Now I know why it was so hard to ream the throat of my CK. Literally took over an hour of work and probably hundreds of rotations of the throat reamer (Mason throater). But now I can load 124g MG JHP's to at least 1.165" I thought for sure I ruined the barrel but it seems to shoot just fine. And Bobby @ CK told me that he uses 1.140" 124g MG JHP's for test firing every CK open gun using WAC. That's what he said he uses in his gun too. And something like 182PF.

You should go with the new STi H.O.S.T. DS. Definitely get the MBX mags for it. Or at least some TTi basepads and have somebody tune the stock mags. That gun comes with a textured grip, light rail, threaded barrel, and is cut for an optic. It's set up for co-witness. but a double stack would be significant weight to carry around all day. https://stiguns.com/guns/host-ds/

Start at 1.200"..... wow that is long. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Would there be any benefit to do this? You could use cheap coated bullets and much less powder. Maybe less wear and tear on the gun? Just thought I'd post this out of curiosity. I'm new so please forgive me. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

Or stock III for $850 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

My new CK hardcore gun has a SS comp. Only complaint I have about the gun is the short barrel throat. Even at 1.140" with a 124g MG JHP it touches the rifling. I have no idea why he doesn't ream it out a little further. It's probably why slides are cracking. Oh, and the trigger is a bit heavy. Mine comes in at 3lbs.

But I haven't shot it a whole lot because the carry optics inspired me to get a full on open gun. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk

A 124g MG JHP and also 135G blue bullet. Both are right around 130PF Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
