The 11 coil spring will work fine. The 13 is for 170mm.

I use TTI pads on all my SVI/STI mags. The size of the pad depends on the length of your magazine. I use the 7mm on the older 131mm mags for a total of 19 rounds with Grams internals. All of my 140mm mags pass the gauge with the 4G pads.

Older SVI mags are compatible with STI. Newer magazines are slightly different dimensions and do exactly as you described. My gunsmith made a slight modification to my frame so it would work with the newer mags (and the old ones). The way it was explained to me was the frame required modification, just modifying the mags would not work.

Try Harrison Custom. He makes a Novak cut sight for the Springfield that is .350. I noticed he also offers custom notches for some of his other sights.

I usually cover the tip of the punch with masking tape to prevent marring. On a Sig try driving the sight from right to left.

Definitely 10mm MP5. Shot quite a few rounds from one of those.

The Winchester 124 NATO load is also pretty hot. It approaches +p velocity and provides more gas to work the comp. I would try a box of that to see how it feels.

^^This^^. Brandon will help get you fixed up

I would get the SVI spring. It is already fit to their follower. I have used the 10 coil springs, but if doing it again I would get the 13 coil and test them. If I didn't get the capacity and functioning I was looking for I would start trimming the springs. I hear people have had good luck with between 11 and 12 coils. Have not tested them myself.

I have used the SV ultra capacity (aluminum) followers in my older 9mm mags without a problem. I'm not sure if SV is still offering them for sale. I could not find them on the website last time I looked for them. I have also used the TTI followers without incident. I would buy either of them without hesitation.

The MSA Sordins with the gel cups are money well spent. I have been running a pair for over 8 years with only the occasional battery change. I also have a pair with integrated comm's that I use at work. Never had an issue with them at all. I was going through Peltors every 15-18 month before I made the switch.

Was never a big fan, but there is no denying he was a very talented musician. RIP

Try shooting a group with burning the first hand cycled round into the berm. If you still get the flyer, you can start looking at the ammo. If the flyer goes away, it probably has something to do with barrel fit.

I've never done this, but there is a tech tip on the uniquetek website on how to do this with hot glue. It's tip #10.

I make sure all rounds exceed the PF I need. Back when the PF for major was 175, I would target 180. I had a bullet come up almost a full grain light at the Nationals one year, but was still easily able to make PF because of this.

i would say yes if you are asking about a complete SVI built gun. SVI has always held tighter tolerances and their guns can be customized right from the factory. SVI makes all of their parts, where as STI subcontracts some parts out.
Don't get me wrong, STI puts out a good gun, but the SVI's are much closer to a custom gun. That's why there is a small industry set up to tune stock STI's before they are even shot.

For a pc Movie Maker is very simple. I switched to a Mac awhile back and am now using iMovie. The IPad version of this program also works great.

I shot one at a range event hosted by Sig. The guns we used were samples from one of the Sig Factory reps. He said each one had a couple thousand rounds through them. The trigger was heavy, but crisp. I liked it better than my M&P, which feels mushy to me.
The accuracy was ok. We were limited to shooting from 7 yards and off hand, so I didn't get a chance to bench it. I was able to keep all rounds touching at that distance. The sights are typical Sig, large, blocky, and not really built for accuracy.
If I were to use one in competition I would get rid of the stock sights immediately and definitely work on the trigger.

I like these... But you should tuck your pants into them to intimidate the other shooters!
-
When SVI converted my .40 to 9mm the also replaced the guide rod and recoil spring cup. The breechface does require fitting to the slide.
-
The jam occurs when the rim of the case is sliding under the ejector. Too much tension and the case cannot move into place. Also check for a burr on the breechface. I had an edge that would not feed and it was because of a burr on the firing pin hole.

Any bag will work. Just remember the bigger the bag, the more stuff you end up putting in it!
The 086 loaders are legal in any of the division's I am familiar with. They are not restricted to open class.

I would consider buying the holster with the USPSA kit pre-installed. The 5197 and the 5198 are the same holster if I remember correctly. Safariland offers the 5197 with the kit. The part number for your Glock 34 is 5197-683-411-USPSA for right hand and 5197-683-412-USPSA for left hand. The price according to Safariland's website is $120. I would just get one and swap the holsters back and forth when I wanted to change.
if you do not already have a shooting bag, I would look at getting one of those instead of the extra 3 gun gear at this time.

Welcome aboard! Don't forget you also have multigun matchs close by your location. There are a couple in Sacramento and Fairfield also has a club that runs multigun.

The TTI pads do not require tools to remove. I prefer they because of the variety of sizes to match some of my shorter magazines.
