Messing around with a stroked 2011. I own a few but this one always recoils weird to me. Up and to the right instead of straight up and down. I thought it was me but all my friends say the same and I tried playing with my grip. Any thoughts? It is a long dust cover bull barrel stroked 2011. Polymer grip. 11lb recoil spring

The tool head was hitting because of the roller bearing upgrade. Cut a little off the screws and fixed that problem. turns out the powder through expander was getting stuck at the top of stroke and the next piece of brass would get expanded in a oval. Tightened down the powder return spring and good to go.

Hoping someone can help me on this one. I have loaded over 50k .40 with my current setup without issue. Current setup: Dillon dies with redding competition seating die and Lee FCD. Bullets are not seating straight and bulged out on one side where the base of bullet is at in the brass. I have tried 4 seating dies and nothing has changed. Happens with four different bullet profiles and brands. I'm starting to think something is wrong on the press. The tool head tilts slightly to the rear when it bottoms out at the downstroke. I don't know what on the press would cause the tool head to tilt. I'm starting to wonder if that's normal but my shellplate is bent?

He ran an atlas custom this year at nationals but it wouldn't have mattered which gun he shot. All that matters is reliability and then trigger in my opinion. Accuracy can be enhanced or improved with dryfire and then minor gun tweaks.

Having tried multiple brands of holsters belts and mag pouches.... go with DAA SS pouches not the CR speed. Red hill tactical double layer holster is nice and either their hanger or the boss hanger. The CR Speed pouches seemed to hang up sometimes and making them looser resulted in the mags flying out. Im just a lowly A class guy who always shoots SS though

Manny Bragg offers multiple steel and uspsa matches in Volusia. Worth checking out as well. Welcome to the forum.

If you are c or D class or just beginning in uspsa, I would recommend fundamentals. Skills and drills is more focused on improving stage plans, movement and overall efficiency.

It's 105 now. Would really like to get to .90. the rear is pretty wide but I want less of the front sight covering plates at 35 yards

Where should I be looking for a .90 or .95 wide fiber optic front sight for a glock. Dawson doesn't go less then .100 but most are much wider. So where should I be lookin? I'm new to the glock sights. Used to a 2011.

Pointed the gun at my ear on a reload. I didn't see it on video and no one on squad did but not much you can do. I wasn't happy considering how well I was shooting. You might sand and polish the pin and hole to see if the pin will stop sticking. If it sticks, it's going to fire out of battery which sucks

Does the spring stick out past the end of the firing pin spring? Is the firing pin bent? If you drop the hammer on a dummy round with no primer inserted like on an unloaded start, it will bend the pin almost every time. I wish had known you were having issues. I got dq'ed a second after I saw you at the safe table.

Brian, if you can, try pulling the slide back just a tiny bit with hammer cocked. See if the hammer will fall when you try pulling the trigger in that position. If you decide to sell, let me know.

On that stage, if he had asked for a reshoot instead of calibration, he would have got it from the arbitration committee.

Did he stop and ask the RO if he could walk uprange to reshoot the steel? did he ask for calibration on steel? My tendency is always to side with the ahokter because I think the rules arent usually in their favor and I have had RO interference cost me dearly at matches.

He was most likely getting a reshoot based on what we read but because he put that he was dq'ed, we investigated further. I have never been on an arbitration committee before this but how you write it, and the rule you cite is important.

Some more facts..... the arbitration cited Rules concerning dq's not RO interference. So the committee asked for the RO and CRO to come explain what he was dq'ed for. The shooter stopped and asked if he could go back uprange after turning. The RO said yes and he went back to the steel. He chose not to shoot it. the shooter asked for calibration on the steel and lost. Shooter never asked for a reshoot but instead asked for calibration. Arbitration isn't allowed to ask for video or they would have. If he would have asked for a reshoot and arbitrated before calibration, he would have likely got a reshoot. I would love to see the video.

Mine all match.

Anyone have experience running mags that lock the slide back and are reliable in a 2011? my father really wants the slide to lock back for some reason. I have already tried convincing him otherwise. any personal experiences?

16 of 17 were 180.

Glad it helped.

Have you tried a zip tie? Oversize brass pins? I did both both of these and it helped more then the bearing upgrade did. Also the shorter the bullets for the caliber, the better.

What is a sign of worn out bearings?

Most people aren't going to lend a reamer out. One turn in wrong direction will kill it. Plus they have a limited lifespan. 100 holes would take quite awhile by hand. Will the cases drop in upside down or not even start?

The mainspring housing is aluminum from the factory. No real weight to be saved and screwing the magwell into plastic doesn't sound like a recipe for long term success. hogging out grips, frame and an aluminum guide rod are your best bets. I want to tri top mine but the hard chrome looks so good. Oh well.

11lb seems to have less recoil. You have to grip hard or it will take forever to come back Down.
