Np. It's just good to see that they are taking care of their customers.

I can say my MPX PCC model is definitely finicky using coated bullets with different weights. With a supported offhand rest at 50 yards with a 6 MOA dialed down Cmore, averaging 130 to 132 power factor with the loads, Sport Pistol powder,IBE JE coated bullets and CCI standard pistol primers the average ( and consistent)results of (2) 5 shot center to center groups of each are as follows 145 rn,3.0 gr powder 1.1" 135 rn,3.3 gr powder 1.64" 130 rn, 3.5 gr powder 3.07"

What coating is currently on it and why is it getting recoated? Thanks

I thought of trying factory follower and spring with the plus one base pad. If the spring is strong enough it may be the most reliable even though sacrificing one additional round.

That is good to hear, thanks. Are you running them stock? I picked up a couple from Brownells and after slightly modifying the feed lips per Beven Grams instructions they seem to feed well in dry runs. When I put his internals inside I can see where nose-diving starts to happen.

Thanks for the info. I need to tool up for 9major open in a Honcho (mags and loads) and don't mind spending a little more on MBX if they are the best option. My Brazos open runs excellent with gen 1 sti 38 super mags but don't want to play with 9mm spacers. I was hoping the sti gen 2 9/38 mags would work but after talking to Beven Gram I'm not so encouraged. Amongst other design/ manufacturer issues he also says his followers do not work properly in the gen 2 bodies

Hello. Could you share your experience of what these common problems are and the fix for them? I'm looking to get some MBXs for my open pistol and assumed they should be my most problem free option

Hmmm that sounds pretty extreme. Never know when the situation may demand it . I'll keep shooting clothed with my nuts covered though,thanks.

A flinch, or the pushing/pulling against the gun, is usually an involuntary reaction of the body reacting to an unpleasant experience it is unfamiliar with. No, shooting a handgun especially at the power factors we use for competition does not hurt. However the unfamiliar combination of noise,concussion and blast against the face generally leads to this type of unwanted involuntary response when shooting. Case in point, when Doug Koenig (multi-time world champion Bianchi cup shooter) shoots a bolt action pistol at long range for competition at extremely high power factor he actually wears a full face motorcycle helmet so he can concentrate on the shot and not be influenced by the concussion noise or blast. Military personnel have noted they shot handguns considerably better when wearing full face Shields etc during training than when not. I bring this to your attention as a means of understanding why you are getting an unfavorable result when shooting. Experiment with this yourself until you become comfortable with less and less protection to the point when only wearing proper eyeglasses and double plugging is sufficient to keep you in a comfort zone when squeezing through the trigger.

Nobody using this unit yet with any comments about it?

Imo the biggest advantage of the Limcat in brass or Akai in steel is adding approximately 8 or so ounces to balance out a plastic light grip especially with a weight forward open gun. If you have a steel grip and not looking to add weight not so much of an advantage for just a slightly easier reload opening providing the choice magwell fits and supports your hands well.

My bad. Didn't see the "Cheely" grip part. You'll need a magwell specific to his grip

Limcat V2 brass top. Gives nice balance to my plastic grip STI open pistol. Fits my hands as well or better than Dawson Ice largehands unit. Almost have to try to miss the reload to mess up. I picked up a used Akai stainless unit also. 9oz. Looks well made but haven't used it yet. Little less hand grip space than the Limcat when installed.

Have you considered a PT Honcho custom order/raceshop build? Yes they are new the new kids on the block with a full pistol build but then I got to handle a couple of them and then watch them in action at matches. Looking at their design,innovation, quality, features, price, versatility and lifetime warranty that's what drove me to have one on order right now.

Yeah I hear you. Then again after enough rounds with that recipe and 4 popple holes I probably won't be able to hear you LOL. For my style I just felt things were more trackable and consistent with a 135 grain bullet making 172ish pf with a little bit faster burning powder. I certainly am not the most experienced open shooter but when I had it in the hands of other m & gms they all commented how effortlessly and smoothly everything tracked across a plate rack. I did put a lot of time into working with the combination of mainspring, recoil spring and firing pin stop profile.

With his Glock open?

I would think so. Safest bet is to call them and ask if they know of any popular use trigger assemblies that do not work with their bolt. I have dealt with them in the past and they seem like very good people to work with.

I believe the easiest way to go about it is making sure you get hammer that is designed to work with most common PCC bolts. Remember the bolt profile is different than a traditional 5.56/223 that most trigger assemblies are designed around. When there is failure it's usually due to the fact that the hammer does not get retracted downward enough for proper reset.There are several available and some that are designed to work with a .308 AR bolt have been successful with PCC bolts also.

Something to consider will be hammer profile compatibility with whatever bolt you use.

What PCC do you have? Hiperfire is little more involved to install then house units and can potentially be hard on firing pins. Also if running light loads for steel challenge Hiperfire heavy toggle springs can sometimes be hard to overcome with lite PF loads. Timney PCC( gold colored housing) has been working well for me and brakes at just over 3 pounds. Velocity triggers 3-pound unit also has proven to be extremely reliable or me.

Hello open shooters. so I'm I'm looking for advice and experiences of those that have tried heavier bullet weights (130gr-147ish) for 9 major open. I probably shoot a heavier bullet (135gr and CFE) than most in my 38 Super which is set up with 4 popple holes and Brazos modified tru bor comp. This is after experimenting with many other combinations. I will be acquiring a nine major pistol with no popple holes hopefully sooner rather than later. Does anyone have a similar story to tell using 9 major with heavier bullets? Thanks

Im right hand dominant. I put a small rail section on the left side handrail and a Magpul textured rail cover section on the underside. My support hand thumb rides on the rail section pointing at the target and my support hand index finger wraps the textured rail cover section. These are both positioned so elbow has a slight bend in it for flexibility and transitioning with my thumb pointed at the target the same as when I shoot a pistol. This keep index commonality across different platforms(rifle/pistol) Very consistent and quick to find when running from position to position. Rearward tension is basically from the strong hand grip pulling back with elbow tucked down.

I have 4 Burris FF3. I had to send one back because it didn't have enough adjustment for proper zero. Burris worked very well with me and I had a replacement quickly.I originally purchased them because I was able to get them at very good price points like $170 etc.. All have been used on a slide mount application. Never an issue with any of them and battery life is silly long. When I decide to move into the more "big boy"red dots I thought I was making an improvement. I still use the FF3 as a gauge against the others for brightness and consistency with the dot. Not sure why the other ones that cost $500 can't be as bright and reliable.

.....it's all about the resolve. I'm beyond excited to get mine underway with the final order confirmation.

Picture is worth a thousand words.... Ain't gun porn great! Nice blaster!
