where do you get your reloads. They should be checking them before they ship. You have purchased garbage ammo. Just a thought.

The only benefit to 40 in production is if you reload. If not, KKM has conversion barrels for about $125. If you change out the barrel you will need to change the ejector ($10), the extractor ($25) and mags (obvious). The conversion barrels are not production legal, but most people dont care unless it is a level III match or better.

I have been shooting an Edge now for about 8 months. I did not like the grip at all, but avoided stippling. I rounded out the edges on the grip and threw on some of Eric's grip tape. It is a totally different gun. Try the tape first, its only $25 versus $100 for a new grip. I use a STI solid metal guide rod, and it feels better than the recoil master. It wasn't that expensive. Good luck on the sights. If it is a duty gun, get used to kentucky windage or go with the bomar.

I made up a batch at different grain wieghts and was pleasantly surprised. Shooting the same cases, and primers there was a 80-100fps increase using the precision coated lead 185gr. bullets versas the Rainier 180gr. plated stuff. My lightest load, WST with the lead bullet, at 4.3gr gave me a ~169 power factor. Where as with the Rainier 180's I needed 4.9gr. for the same power factor. I was very impressed with the coated lead. Very simple to clean. I let it sit for about 45 minutes, and the lead wiped off with a patch.

I just received my first batch of Precision Bullets (40/185gr) and I am eager to get to the press. I am loading for my STI Edge and looking for ~170pf. Any suggestions on OAL? Same question for Glock 17 using Precision Bullets (9mm/124gr). With 9mm, I am looking for something that will be light, yet remain competetive at GSSF.

Check out GlockTalk.com. They have a holsters forum. Do a search and see what you get.

While the topic is up, how are they for a full time duty gun? I am considering replacing my Trijicon with the Truglo. I was wondering how the Truglo would hold up to all the work..... Are they sturdy enough for day in, day out carry? Mike

I've been using the Arrendondo pads for a year now and have been getting 20 rounds in without a problem.

+1 on the double ears. I had a terrible flinch to overcome. I use foamies and ear protectors when I compete. It has enhanced my shooting tremendously. How is your finger placement on the trigger. The low can be attributed to the flinching; the left can be finger (pad) placement on the trigger if you are right handed.

Thanks for the feedback.

What was the automotive product? Pledge also works well.

I considered the Beamhit modification, but need more info before I purchase it. How is the Beamhit trigger pull. I have a smooth 2.5lb pull now. Will Beamhit dupilcate my current trigger or will it be a factory feel?

I searched the forums and did not locate anything about trigger reset modifications that will work with a Beamhit. I need some help from the do-it-yourselfers. I have a trigger reset kit, but it does not activate the striker so I can not get it to work with the Beamhit. Does anyone have any advice on what modification to make to the trigger so that I can activate the striker and reset the trigger/striker without manually working the slide? Thanks, Mike
