For $9.00 each these are great base pads. I’ll have to measure one.
Is that clear plastic strip there to protect your thumb from slide serrations?

Wondering if there's any downside to using the Federal #100M match primer vs. the regular #100's?
Are the match primers just as soft as regular 100's? I've got a line on some 100M's, but wanted to check with you guys first!
Thanks!

So if you change grip modules, the serial number stays put somewhere on the remaining chassis, right?
-
I am curious though, what were the problems with the M9 which warranted a wholesale replacement?

I posted this several years back...
It has been said that the WSPM primers are the same cup as the WSPP...That being said, if the SPP will seal the cup, then the SPMP will seal as well. There was a thread on primers on here not long ago, and somoeone actually corresponded with several of the primer manufacturers and got the cup hardness of quite a few of the different types. The only difference (IIRC) between the WSPP and the WSPMP was the heat of the flame...

Federal 205M - same as the 205 but the match version.
Magtech PR-SR - .025" cup thickness (not much feedback yet on this new primer as to AR15 suitability but with the same cup thickness as the Rem 7 1/2 it looks good so far)
Remington 6 ½ - thin .020" cup, intended for older, lower pressure rounds Remington says do not use for the .223 Rem or other similar pressure rounds. Good for .22 Hornet, .30 Carbine.
Remington 7 ½ BR - A match or "bench rest" primer. Lyman & Nosler classify this primer as a Standard. Remington says the compound is the same as the 6 1/2 but with a thicker .025" cup.
RWS 4033
Winchester WSR - some piercing issues noted when changed from silver to brass cup. Cup thickness is a bit thinner at .021". Most say they are good to go for the AR15 despite that, probably because of the hardness of the cup. Some feel they are less resistant to higher pressures.
Wolf Small Rifle SR - soft, sensitive copper cup, not recommended for AR15/military rifle use or high pressure rounds.
Small Rifle Magnum
CCI 450 - same thicker .025" cup as the BR4 and #41.

Wolf Small Rifle Magnum SRM - hard, less sensitive brass cup intended for AR15/military rifle and high pressure rounds.
Wolf Small Rifle 223 SR223 - "This is the newest primer available in the Wolf line. It is ever so slightly hotter than the small rifle magnum primer and it comes with a brass colored thick cup. This primer can be used in place of the SRMprimer or used when a different powder is used that is hard to ignite."
Large Rifle Standard
CCI 200 - mild in brisance. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.
CCI BR2 - same as the 200 but the match version. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.
Federal 210 - medium brisance between CCI/Remington & Winchester. Do not use in semi-automatics.
Federal 210M - match version of the above primer. Do not use in semi-automatics.
Magtech PR-LR
Remington 9 ½ - mild in brisance.
RWS 5341
Winchester WLR - the hottest standard primer. Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.
Wolf Large Rifle LR - all brass - Used by noted match shooter David Tubbs who says: "Be sure they are seated into the case - if not they can be hard to ignite. Russian primers use a different sinoxide compound (closer to the European type), which, in my testing, consistently delivers better extreme spreads over Federal..." Hard enough for use in semi-automatics.

CCI 250
CCI #34 - commercial version of the fully-qualified DOD primer for use in U.S. military ammo.

Does it have a Series 70 or 80 trigger?
-
Does this gun have a ramped barrel?

Considering getting my lifter welded and wanted feedback on which smith can do this fairly quickly (and hopefully cost effective as well)
Thoughts?

I had my prescription shooting glasses made by a place in Palos Park. They advertise in the ASC newsletter every month but I can't remember the name. They were really good and made me a pair of mono vision glasses that brought the front sight into focus. I'll try and find the name of the office.
Thanks, Lucky. By chance you recall their name?

Lodi, Wisconsin has a pretty active 3 gun and action pistol program...
but it's about 160 miles from O'Hare.

I appreciate the feedback, but I'm specifically looking for a shooter friendly eye doc in my area.
Anyone???
-
I'd like to find out if that rear sight can be fitted on an SP-01...
-
I'm in the 'burbs of Chicago, just west of O'hare. Looking for recommendations for an optometrist in the area who is knowledgeable on the specific needs of shooters. I'm 50+, facing typical age-related issues with front sight focus vs. target, etc.
Any suggestions on a good doc?
Thanks!

From the MISS website:
Due to space and time constraints, registration is limited to:USPSA competitors that have earned a classification in any USPSA division.-or-By prior arrangement.Unverified individuals will not be allowed to compete (and be refunded their match fees...)I don't have a classifcation, so appears I'm SOL... -
I'm located up near O'Hare airport. Wondering if there are any reasonably local indoor matches/leagues/etc
Doesn't have to be "formal" IDPA, IPSC, etc. Just looking to work on some skills during off season.

So you're saying that the "extended" refers not to depth of primer strike?
-
that single action looks short for a SP-01.. nice I couldn't get mine that far back.. damn good job.
I actually took a little off the sear, off the 'foot' of the FPB lifter and the trigger bar where it picks up the lifter to get it that short.
On my SP 01 I machined the ledge on the firing pin that catches the FPB down to .018 thick so that the FPB needs less travel to clear it, then shortened the foot on the lifter to remove the excess travel. Makes the reset pretty sweet.
Czhase, by chance do you have a photo or illustration of where exactly you machined the ledge? And when you refer to the "foot" of the fpb lever, are you referring to the part which interacts with the trigger bar or the part of the lever which interacts with the block itself (the part residing in the slide)?
-
Does anyone have specs on how much the firing pin protrudes from the breech face with stock fp vs. an aftermarket extended firing pin?
-
Ok, so I'm starting to shop trigger upgrade parts for a stock SP-01 non-Shadow with FPB, manual safety and night sights. I called David at CGW the other morning to chat briefly about a parts list. He seemed a bit pre-occupied, mumbled something about getting 40 calls a day about this topic and told me to just buy his defensive carry package part #75110. When looking at the parts list pictures, since the written description doesn't specify the exact parts included, I wanted to verify this package would have everything I need for this tuneup. Any guidance from the field on suitability/completeness of the 75100 package? Would I need to add anything else when placing the order?
Thanks!

Just received a DW Valor V-Bob in 9MM that I had Keith make for me to match the one I have in .45. Rumor is that DW will have this in the 2016 catalog. Just starting to break it in, put the 1st set of rounds through it on Friday and it is an awesome shooting and handling gun. Of course, it is a 4.25" as PalmBeach1 says.
Is that a "for sure" thing re: DW offering this in a 9? Would be sweet!
9mm 1911. Which ones have ramped barrels?
in 1911-style Pistols
Posted
Been noodling around several company websites but not clear which of them offer 9mm with ramped barrels... any ideas which companies do this?
thanks!
