I think its likely that you have a slow lot if its taking you 10.6gr to make PF with a 5" barrel, 2x popple holes, and a 124gr bullet at 1.165" OAL. Especially if it is a KKM barrel, as those are known to be amongst the fastest-shooting, while SV barrels are known to be slower-shooting.
The lot number is located to the right of the red "CAUTION":
The last 3 digits indicate the lot number. I believe the different lot numbers in circulation as of recent are 314, 514, and 115.
yup... Lot 314i have the same production code
please let me know what you find out.

What bullet are you using and which lot of SWMP? 115gr?
If you have lot 314 of SWMP, know that it shoots slower-than-normal. I have a bunch of it and am currently waiting on a response from SW to my request to exchange it for a different lot.
ahhh good to know.Iam using 124gr Delta Precision JHP, new design.
Thank you for the info! Can you take a picture of where the lot number is found? I think mine is kinda faded lol I am not sure if I am looking at a resemblance of a lot number lol

i want to see a video of this shooting!
i want to see if the extra weight from the XWF helps for recoil
For sure, once I have dialed everything down ill shoot a vid.

Excited to say I'm on the books with CJ for a similar build!
I am still playing with loads...
I make 172PF with 8.2gr of HS6 and 1.175"
I barely make PF with 10.4gr of Major Pistol at 1.165"
I'll crank it to 10.6gr of MP at 1.165" and I am hoping to see 169-170PF

@YellowShooter, did you use a full-profile Binary 3-Port comp, or the regular profile one? I like how the tri-top extends across the entire comp and the how the lines at the bottom of the comp flow into the frame.
Full profile, the Tri top was performed after the slide/barrel/comp fit and match

Your gun came out BA!!! Is the builder CJ local to Atlanta? I cracked the slide on my first open gun (its an older gun), id like to get a new top end build with newer updated parts and id like to have someone local build it.
CJ is the KY, but I am sure he can help with your slide

How did you end up liking the weight/balance of this bad boy with the XWF heavy open frame? I'm thinking of doing either a 5" or 5.4" build with one.
She is a heavy girl for sure...
It balance well and wield like a balance solid chunk. I need to start working out more...
And it's VERY loud!

PVD once I make up my mind on color scheme.yeah I’ll put the screw in last

SHE IS DONE!
Still in the white, but she shoots like a dream.

Yeah, this little beast is all steel and the magwell is brass...
We shall see

Oh! I didnt realize that you were in the Atl area!
I am picking this up in a week or so, guy (CJ Smith from Sky Customs) is in OH.
I'll meet up with you and let you shoot it as much as you want so you can get a feel and the features you want for yours.

Unless you have tried an open gun with a steel grip and a brass magwell, I suggest that you rethink the brass magwell option. IMHO, they are great on plastic grip guns but overkill on a beast like this.
Well, guess I am going to learn the hard way LOL
I am trying to defy the laws of physics and make it feel like a 22
On 1/7/2020 at 9:57 AM, Posvar said:I came to same conclusion as well
Well if it really comes down to it ill 3D Print a magwell and swap.
