  1. Which reticle system do you have? Friend of mine just picked one up with the XV2 reticle. Hoping to check it out soon.
  2. Hello. Is anyone using an Atibal X 1 x 10 ? Features look really impressive and price tag seems very reasonable for what it offers. I would be curious to hear first-hand experiences, thanks.
  3. Concept looks good. The multitude of a easy adjustability to tune to a load seems very interesting in itself. Been reading some reviews online about it. Many people bring up the concept of the magnets eventually wearing out. Springs and hydraulics wear out also. Jerry Miculek is somewhat of a showman but he obviously knows what's what and doubt he would ticket something that doesn't have merit. I would definitely pick one up, try it, and provide feedback fwiw. Is there a source other than this "Big Daddy" which seems to require some kind of subscription fee to purchase one?
  4. So with jhp being really hard to come by what's the experiences had for the best coated bullets regarding accuracy and least amount of comp build up?
  5. What issues did you have with the factory spring?
  6. I'm running a wolff variable 7 lb variable in my 9major. I've had very little rounds through it's so far but seems to eject and track well at 170pf. Will try an 8 lb when I get back into it. The 6 lb seems so light I was concerned with something getting battered. If someone from PT wants to chime in on this please do.
  7. Hello. Has anyone tried recoil reduction upgrades successfully with one of these? Hydraulic buffer etc? Thanks
  8. Thanks for the input. How light of a trigger break can you get with let's say a 17 lb mainspring? Also how would you describe the breakpoint? Crisp?,a little roll, etc. And have you found the units to be consistent compared to each other?
  9. Hello shooters. I'm curious if anyone has had experiences to share with the Nighthawk Custom DTS (drop-in trigger system) for 1911/2011 platforms. Thanks
  10. Thanks. I found the above for $28.00. Is worth trying. I just picked up a Mark 1 bull barrel pistol used yesterday in vgc. I will swap the bolt and see if it operates smoothly. Just over $200 so I figured why not. No last round bolt hold open so I hope the firing pin is ok. (seems like an odd design for a rimfires fp well being)
  11. I did have an odd/delayed reset couple of times. I did not fully disassemble the trigger components. I only disassembled to field strip and cleaned/oiled.
  12. Thanks for the reply. Possible but not sure why it sticks only in rearmost and just before closing into battery. If not the guuderod not sure if anything with hammer is dragging on bolt .
  13. Hello. I have an older Mark 2 that has been sitting in the safe for years. I recently took it out with the intent to shoot some bullseye at a local club but was quickly reminded why it had not been used. The bolt, under manual operation, will stick to the rear and will also stick approximately 1/2 inch before closing fully into battery. I disassembled it and did a basic cleaning. The bolt runs freely inside the receiver prior to final assembly. The guide rod looked straight which I thought would be the culprit for binding if bent and after reassembly the problem still exists. Unless the guiderod is out of spec and I'm not seeing it I'm at a loss with the diagnosis. If anyone has any experienced information to offer it is appreciated, thank you.
  14. Hello all, So I had used Black Bullets International back about 6+ years ago. I found them to be accurate but the coating had a fair amount of smoke when used with various powders and usually left a coating in the board that required a mixture of 50% vinegar and 50% hydrogen peroxide to let sit in there and clean thoroughly after 5 minutes. Since then I have been using Ibeje heads with very good success but lead time has been extremely long and I see BBI seems to have a much shorter wait time. I believe they may have changed the formula on the BBI bullets from when I used them last. Has anybody had experiences to compare them to some of the premium coated options such as Blue Bullets or Ibeje etc. as of lately? Thanks
  15. I ran one match with mine. Knocking on wood so far so good but that is just a sad story you told.
  16. Thanks for the heads up, I will. Not drawing any final conclusions but based on forums and personal experiences I've seen with several shooters that have them on slide and frame mounted applications I have yet one to tell me they have had an issue with it. This is a greater consistency than any other optic I've researched for our sport application. I'm sure no one optic is going to have every feature desirable be at 100%, but reliability is at the front of importance IMO. I'm not biased toward any of these products so I would certainly welcome other experienced opinions to the better choices. Thanks
  17. These products are actually,supposedly, made in Japan as marked on the unit itself. My experience has been Japan has good engineering,materials and quality control with optics as well as other products that require precision and refinement. Perhaps the fiinal assembly point or some other means of manufacture has watered down the QC. My next optic will be an SRO (made in USA) as I have not heard of any consistent or many issues at all for that matter.
  18. Is it just me that feels it's ridiculous that we on this post (and I'm sure there are more out there) have paid about $500+ for a very basic type of optic that can't seem to have reliable windsge and/or elevation adjustments?
  19. Thanks for the detailed response. BTW was yours returned a slide mounted application or frame mount?
  20. So when you send it in for a replacement due to the fact that the adjustment moves untintionally how do you word it and what has the response been? One of the reasons that led me to create this post is reports that Sig "could not replicate the same condition" when sent back so they return it with nothing done which has led people to try to fix it themselves.
  21. This back strap looks awesome and it is a great idea. I would definitely be into getting one
