Since you are 100% certain mag springs are good to go. Check for follower binding at top 1/3 of mag tube, feedlip dimensions & extractor tension.

Chuck, You were smart and went to a reasonable climate. I question my sanity more each and every new January that rolls around. Happy Anniversary guys!

OMG how horrible!. What adverse conditions. Here today, it was 2F at 8am with an expected high of 14F today. Oh ya, feel really bad for you guys. Happy New Year!

Another option is to have the barrel leade extended modestly on that barrel. This will facilitate more uniform reload use & feeding, if you own multiple pistols in 9mm. It may help with 147gr bullet choices too.

That seems unusual. Consider talking with CMC about the issue.

Weak mag springs...which are exacerbating the problem? Or the Devel style follower tilting?

CMC PM/PM+, Tripp, & WC's all work reliably and have proven durable...for me. Choosing high quality mags like those referenced in this thread is a solid start, but you still need to test to see what actually works.

Yes, press runs smoover. Using very modest amounts of OneShot.

Hi JB, You are looking for 5926, 5936 (9mm) or 4526, 4536, 4576 (45acp) models with that frame mounted decock function. Happy hunting! Oh scratch the above...missed your follow up post that the decocker is NOT what you seek.

+1 agreed, too slow. I load 140's to make ~140PF/1000fps. More speed!

Like the others have already said, IDPA says no. Tune it for better effect while still leaving it fully operational. Too much spring tension? Bend the right leg/leaf of the sear spring to lessen the effort of fully engaging the grip safety. Do this slowly and creep up on the result. If the disengagement point is too far inward? You can remove material from the grip safety tang where it meets the back of the trigger bow. Slooooowly and carefully creep up on the result! You will ruin the GS if you get too aggro.

FWIW, thumb on top of the safety. It feels pretty natural. Experiment and see what works best for you, though.

Oh man that could have been so much worse! Thanks for posting what happened to you as a cautionary tale. I hope your recovery is quick and complete, JM. All the best.

Welcome to the forum, Kingjames3507! Enjoy the new challenge and good luck.

Everything stays in range bag except pistols. Pistols get cleaned & re-lubed..placed in the dry inner range bag sleeves....into safe.

In 9? ACME or Bayou 124. SNS or BBI 125's. Any of these that are available for the best price delivered.

YES!!!

+1. Easy & works great! If you go back and forth between Major & Minor it is super handy. Bayou 140TCG at 1.180 with 4.4gr WST made 140PF out of mine (5" bbl). Same load with Bayou 180TCG ran 168PF.

I have several CR Speed Hi Torque belts with Tek Loks on them and they fit quite well. Easy to lock down and minimal movement, but I also always use velcro on the back of the Tek Loks. Don't have any of the "Deluxe" models, so I can't say how fitment is on those.

I no longer have that problem. .

And the ability to seat them exactly (and smoothly) where I want them, which comes most into play with 40

I prefer grooveless coated for these folks... ACME: 230RN-45, 200SWC-45, 180FP-NLG-40, 124RN-9 Bayou: 225TC-45, 180TCG-40, 165TCG-40, 124TCG-9 BBI: 230RN-45, 180-40, 165-40, 147-9, 125-9 SNS: 230RN-45, 200SWC-45, 180RN-FP-40, 165RN-FP-40, 125RN-9

Looks like you will be prepared. Enjoy it. Welcome to the forum, Viking84!

I like the EB magazine releases and have installed several. They DO require minor fitting, which is what you want. Plug & play means too loose and you could have done better. Relieve the new catch only enough so that your mags can be inserted (in a quick motion) with reasonable force...then polish it up. Don't go crazy sanding/filing because the final polishing will make a fair difference. Ensure your mags drop smoothly free with button depressed.

Glad you got it up and running.
