Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. or call Glenn's cell.  713-823-1676.  I do know he is very difficult to get in touch with.... keep calling/emailing.  He makes quality product.  He posts a lot of facebook too

  2. I have exhausted all of my efforts and still can't obtain a right side mag release. I actually was able to talk to Mitchell about obtaining one but he said he wasn't manufacturing any right now and just told me to send him an email for future reference. I also checked LSI and couldn't find anything on there website. If there is anybody that may want to get rid of one or have a spare laying around. I would gladly purchase it from you. This is getting frustrating when I go from right back to left. This is what I presently have and every other gun that I have has the mag release on the right side.
  3. Thanks for the quick replies. I will look into the suggestions.
  4. Does anybody have any information or the availability of a Right Side Mag Release for a STI DVC 2011? I had seen one on youtube that was for a 1911 that was posted 5 years ago. I don't seem to be able to find one. Just trying to find out if there is even one available.
  5. I have both the Czechmate and the Tanfoglio. I presently shoot the CZ and it is a very tight running gun. As for the TF it doesn't have a 170mm mag that will work unless you weld two of the K9s together and I have two of the Taylor Freelance extensions and neither of them will cycle consistently. I also have the 170 MBX and it never cycles consistently. The best way I found to shoot a TF open gun is to use the Witness and convert it over to an open gun by purchasing the 6" barrel and cutting it down and thread the end. Then add a custom compensator like the John Durso one. Iv'e done this on two and they work great. One has the Durso comp and the other has a custom comp a little shorter than the Durso comp. Another issue with the Tanfoglio Gold is that there comp is too short.
  6. Very interesting! I have had my experience with an individual on this website. Agreed to sell me an item and when funds were sent never sent item. I thought integrity was something that Firemen had in there character. Unfortunately has become deaf and non responsive to communication. Still continues to participate in other forums. My experience has left me very puzzled about certain people. I have learned to do things with a little trust now. I surely agree with the place scammers belong.
  7. I hope they can resolve the problem. I have a friend that has had a couple of issues with his STI open gun and each time STI has replaced the slide or even the whole gun. But it seems to possibly be a design problem that is not being addressed. I was always very happy with mine and I never had a problem with it. I had only put a couple of thousand rounds through it. It seems as though the real test is when you get up into the high volume of round count. If anybody has had an issue with a low round count I would like to know. Good Luck to the STI owners out there.
  8. I get 170 PF with 115 FMJRN with 10.3gr MP under 1.160 OAL.
  9. I greatly appreciate the comments on this forum. I'm going to try the 147s RNP @1.135, 3.3grains with the N320. I will post my results when I finish.
  10. I have switched from the HS6 to the Lovex and have been using it for my RNJ 124s at 9.0 of powder. It has been an improvement on my open gun. I have had problems with my hands and with the lovex compaired to the HS6 the vertical movement and obtaining the dot on the target has been noticeably different.
  11. I know a fellow shooter and this has happened three times with his STI. He has sent it back each time and they have either replaced the frame. Or twice they replaced the whole gun. He is not shooting STIs anymore and has moved up to a better quality open gun. Each time it took a minimum of two to three months for the return.
  12. Fine Scotch Brite and a little cutting oil. This works great and after that just make sure after each time you shoot it wipe it off and coat with lubricant.
  13. Yes I'm sure the flat trigger is SA only
  14. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
