You're not the first to have that thought. I'm still thinking (hoping) the "Aussie version" with the 4.93" barrel may be imported by IFG.

Yes, but are they caliber interchangable? That i dont know. is a 45acp version going to work in a 9mm?

Looks like someone dropped it in the dust bin. I'd try this.... Take off the grips. Remove the slide. Take the frame part outside and really hose it out with a full can of non-chlorinated brake cleaner. Use the little straw and get in every nook and cranny. Move the hammer, trigger, etc. Really get the parts under the sear cage and in the hammer spring area. Then lube it good. I use 5w30 on most parts, grease ob the rails. Watch those videos a few times. When you get your courage up, give it a whirl. The "frustrating" areas are the sear pack if it has a 2 piece sear and the trigger bar lifter. sadly, polishing that lifter is one of the most important areas for a smooth trigger. No worries if you get stuck. Just drop a line here and plenty will assist.

NO ! don't muck about with the lugs. That's not where fitting is done. There are write ups on how, should you desire to attempt it.

Clean the barrel and slide, oil free. "Paint" the lugs in the slide and barrel with a magic marker (sharpie is my favorite). Then rack the gun several times and inspect. I also inspect the front sight post retaining screw to see if it is intruding into the barrel area of the slide (or touching the barrel). Even a light touch will allow the timing to go off and damage the lugs.

With Acme 124 round nose and 135 round nose the best accuracy was a measured outside diameter of 0.3800" to 0.3810" measured just below the bullet. (Bullets measure 0.365). These are at the upper end of size and about 50% won't drop free from the hunfo guage. They CAN all be lightly pressed flush in the hundo, but those don't drop free. i suspect a few headstamps are slightly thicker. All are an easy drop in / out of the actual barrel. I tested 100 that were the tightest in the hundo. Fyi - since getting more anal on load quality, my best classifiers have been ones with long distance shots. i now know any miss is on my technique.

Looks factory

No ransom rest, but i do ground the gun on a table and shoot groups at a laser'ed 38.5 yards. a 3" group is expected with propper loads, tight red dot and my usual trigger yanking technique. FYI - I'm sure the gun can shoot better than that 3" group with a better trigger nut behind the barrel. I shot 40 rounds at that distance 3 days ago comparing various crimps. All holes were "down zero" on an IDPA target at that distance.

Sartorius scales and Ohaus can do it. Practum 124-1S is one, but the investment is a grand or better. And you need environmental controls. I've given up on finding "perfection" in loads. 135+ pf with accuracy is all i need.

I run minimal crimp as determined by the OUTSIDE diameter at the bullet end of the brass. Out of my gun, the best accuracy is found when that measurement is 0.3795 to 0.3805. Going down to 0.3780 increases groupings at 35 yards from 3 to 6".

As Mike said, no. All CO legal guns must be on the Production Gun List. Limited is not on the list.

^^ This ^^ TG is a decent choice, but burns hot and is dirty. I've moved to the Vectan line of products that burn a bit cooler and are much cleaner. My TG 135 coated recipe was 3.7-3.8 grain at 1.135" getting a solid 135pf in a S2.

And they are having a sale now. code "jolly"

I'll weigh a set, but from memory, they were about the same as a set of wood factory grips.

Your results mirror mine. But the gun from Dazhi has steel GR, aluminum grips, no lightening cuts AND is way lighter. Interal lightening work or the scale is off. (or maybe 45acp ? Lol)

He must be very influential in the gun world!

I have a buddy that gets 30 (yes, thirty) in his Gold Team mag. The mag passes guage too. it's a welded up pair of K9 mags with grams guts.

I question the accuracy of your scale. with a vortex venom, pd cut, extreme GR and lokgrips, im 44.6oz. At section it was 44.6 oz, so my scale is reading the same as a L2 scale. Missing weight max at a match would be disappointing! FYI, i have 2 set up the same and both within 0.2oz.

10mm and 40sw followers are different. I wonder if the slide stop is at fault.? Never ran across this issue.

I think he is in Europe. They have been shooting them for (i think) well over a year. Not sure if EAA is just not wanting to be importing them, or if they are sitting on a pile of Gold Team's. But we for sure haven't seen any state side! sadly.

Sadly, it WON'T work on the bulk volume. it does for the smaller quantities.

That only works on apple phones. Any ideas for Android?

Yeah ... with all the "extra" part included! I actually don't know, but in EAA fashion, it would no doubt cost only slightly less than a full gun.

Check with welding repair places. A "buddy with a tig" may be optimum.

Holy Necro-Thread Batman ! 8 years old? I don't 38, but would suggest using a 38 extractor and a wolff extra power spring. Uncut. Hard to install, but they work for me.
