Trojan in .40 Cal is discontinued... the ONLY .40 Cal Single Stack available now from STI is the DVC Classic... Makes no sense to me, have to wonder what is happening @ STI lately.

Ready for Area 2

MPX.

That Holosun 510c has the same latch in the mount as the Sig Romeo 4B that I sent back twice for failure to stay locked while firing.

commonsense in the industry is 99.5% that the Sig and the Holosun are made in the same factory.... just saying.

So you are calling out Schumann, STI ,KKM and any other manufacturer that sells a short chambered .355 barrel as not knowing what they are doing.. That pretty much leave the Schumann AET and BarSto finish chambered barrels as the only barrels that are correct using your logic. yes A finish reamer has Zero effect on the rear of the chamber when used: "reaming a 9mm to 38 super/supercomp is not a great way to go. The dimensions at the base of 9mm is larger so your brass will bulge" The rear chamber dimension is set by the manufacturer. typicality it is set to the low end of 9x19 ( .0391 -.007 = .384) .38 supper is .384 -.006 = .378 The tolerances of 9x19 9x23 and .38 Super over lap that is why the a short chambered .355 barrel is sold and works.

I have all 3 lengths: 3ea 170mm 2ea 155mm 3ea 140mm what I use and when depends on the stage breakdown and my plan. If I could only buy 3 mags to start I would do: 1ea 170mm 2ea 155mm Barney off one of the 155's that becomes your "oh shit" mag in position 3 use the 170 and the other 155 in whatever order the stage breakdown and your plan indicates. 140's are good for classifiers and the rare stage where you shoot 8-12 then reload. If I am shooting moor than 12 I am starting with a bigger mag

Add Leupold LCO to that list.

I have 2 identical guns and a third that I am currently doing some experimentation with. If it works out I will do a twin later this year and have 2 sets of twins.

Couldn't get Gen 1's to run 100% in my Gen 2. lucked in to a even trade on hear with a guy needing Gen1's

I am happy to duplicate a factory NATO/ EURO spec load..Gives me the same feel and I have the option of using factory for big matches. additionally from whare I buy my factory 9mm it is $40 more per 1k than reloading, if I need the brass... I can't justify my time to buy once fired and load it when I need a brass restocking..

I went to N340 when VV stopped importing N330 and never went back. IME N340 and WAP ( Silhouette ) are vary close. I will stay with the N340 because I have 12 LB left over from my Limited days.

Got my tracking last night...

Yes.. but neither of us have visibility on the sales VS production capacity #'s that STI uses to make their decisions on.

Or sales are week vs the DVC open and dosn't justify using production capacity Or everybody hacking the True-Bore slides up to reduce weight means that the state of the market has moved past the True-Bore configuration

It is down to cycle length, cycle time, port presser and dwell time. If you are short stroking the system you will have the carrier mass in counter recoil effecting the gun when it closes, because it did not dissipate the correct amount of energy in to: full spring compression (cycle length) the receiver buffer stop (cycle time) Being similar to an AR system with a brass deflector if your brass is not going to 2 o'clock you are short stroking.

I found that in my 16" gun my 125gr Montana Gould JHP @ 1290fps (5.6gr N340) 161 PF was softer with less sight movement than the same bullet @ 1160 fps (5.4gr 3N37) 145 PF. The 3N37 load was initially 1090 fps 136 PF and not reliable brass fell out the ejection port at your feet and had massive sight movement in recoil and counter recoil. IMO a 130 PF goal is not where I want to be, my development goals were: Reliablity Fast cycling withe the least amount of sight movement Ability to match an available commercial spec load for: Flyaway matches Brass replenishment Cycle time close to an AR or an Open pistol Speer 124gr TMJ or Geco European spec 124gr both hit the 1280-1325fps range and meet my goals on 1&2. I did arrive at this load vary easy I had about 1K of the 3N37 load that was run by a friend when my reloading set up was torn down for construction of my new reloading space,I had to shorten the OAL and tighten up the crimp for the MPX and that put it up to 145PF. The other load of 5.6gr N340 was the same charge I used in my .40 6" limited gun. When I looked it up an it was within the range for 9MM so I just ran with it, thought if it worked it was one less step converting that press from 9mm to .40 or back. If the 150PF load meets your goals it should be good to go. If you are a @ Rio this Sunday I will give you a handful of the 161PF loads.

something is binding the trigger bow, things to check: 2011 grip screws if loose it will cause the trigger bow to bind Over travel adjustment, as in not enough. Over all fit of the trigger bow and shoe, if it is to loose movement can be nonlinear and cause it to bind. Vertical movement of the rear of the trigger bow, the part the disconnect rids on if this has excessive movement it causes the disconnect and sear to bind

Yea I just did the preorder.

Key words being " for me" . I get .08 -.10 splits pretty easily with an AR or the MPX and as fast as it sounding like a Double fire on a close wide open target. I run my 9mm 3gun load from my 5" and 6" 2011's 125gr MG JHP 5.6gr N340 1290 fps in the MPX , 1220 in the 6" and 1190 fps in the 5". My point being a locked breach gas operated system has difrent ammo requirements than a blowback unlocked system. I agree you can play around with weight, springs and loads to optimize that blowback system. However that also narrows the operating band on it also, would you want to put a NATO spec or Open 9 round in to that blowback system optimized for a Production minor load with a small charge of fast powder? I wouldn't. For me one of the selling points of PCC and my MPX is I don't have to fly with reloads. I can buy NATO / Euro spec 9mm on site at a flyaway match that preform like my reloads.

i hear I hear you, I just think of the MPX as the PCC equivalent of an open or limited gun that you tune the loads to exploit the advantages the system has to offer. I would never consider running a blowback gun in PCC it is just to slow of a cycle time compared to an AR, open or limited gun for me. As a side note I saw a guy have a out of battery detonation with a CZ a few weeks ago in a match his trigger finger out ran the operating system.

The MPX is a gas system it needs gas pressure and dwell time to function. For a Gen 2 gun you just need to pick your powders from the correct burn rate category (N340, HS6, WSF) . Don't try to use a small charge of fast powder like in a production minor pistol it will not generate either gas pressure or dwell time in to the operating system..

The MPX is a gas operated system and has different operating requirements than a recoil or blowback system. Your load is the issue with the MPX. it is a gas system it needs gas pressure and dwell time to function, a small charge of fast powder is not generating either gas pressure or dwell time in to the operating system. A slower burn rate powder would help (N340, HS6, WSF).

I found that in my 16" gun my 125gr Montana Gould JHP @ 1290fps (5.6gr N340) was softer than the same bullet @ 1160 fps (5.4gr 3N37). I am convinced you can short cycle this system and induce more recoil and counter recoil bounce, while still ejecting and feeding. The 3N37 load was initially 1090 fps and not reliable brass fell out the ejection port at your feet. I reduced the OAL an gave it a bit more crimp to get it to 1160fps. Any NATO/ European spec 124gr 9X19 ammo is going to be 1280-1325fps. The ability to simply buy good factory ammo for a flyaway major match instead of having to bring hand loads on an airline is one of the reasons I like PCC. Another reason is if Iam low on brass I simply buy a case of good NATO/ European spec 124gr 9X19 ammo that matches my reloads.
