[One gun - Two calibers]

You are right. I forgot about the ejector. Thanks.

[One gun - Two calibers]

I'm building an STI 2011 in 45acp planning to shoot USPSA Limited 10 and IDPA CDP. However, I might want to shoot Limited major. Has anybody tried having a slide set up for 45acp and another slide set up for 40 on the same frame? I'll appreciate your feedback.

[M&P Apex Trigger Not Resetting]

I just finished installing an APEX FSS trigger on my M&P Pro 9mm and it is not resetting. At the range I can fire two rounds if I don't let go of the trigger. If I let go, it will fire if I press the trigger again. Any suggestions?

[Wilson Combat and CCP]

Anyone shooting in CCP using Wilson Combat? What model?

[Ruger SR1911 Grip Safety Recommendations]

Can someone suggest the best and easiest grip safety to install on a SR 1911 Government model? I'm replacing all factory parts with Stainless Steel ones but I'm having a difficult time finding the right grip safety. Most of the parts already replaced have required a little bit of fitting with no problem. However, the grip safety has been my nemesis. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[N340 usage]

Thanks for the feedback, guys!!! Sorry it took me a while, 5 months, to reply. I've been shooting 9mm so much that I kind of forgot about 45acp, I want to get back to it.

These loads seem too hot, On the low side that is about a 190PF, way over the 165PF that I need for IDPA. I guess I will stick with Titegroup and maybe trade the pound of N340. Thanks again,

[Tuning a Dan Wesson PM 9 for IDPA competition]

Thanks to all for your responses. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a bit to try your suggestions. I got my PM9 and after 3 rounds it locked up, galling. After a few hits with a rubber mallet I was able to unlock the slide. I field stripped it and re-lubed it but I couldn't get the slide back into the frame. So, my PM9 is at CZ-USA getting fixed and hopefully I'll get it back soon. I will post an AAR.

[Tuning a Dan Wesson PM 9 for IDPA competition]

I found the trigger and sights to be good enough. YOu could lighten the trigger if you wanted to.

I also put in a 10 lb recoil spring. The slide stop is good enough and does not need changing.

Put a magwell on it like a techwell or dawson.

^^^ This is exactly what I did. Local smith took out some of the creep, improved reset and made the trigger break at 3# instead of 4+#. Used all the same internals - I think DW uses pretty high quality parts.

10# spring made it shoot a little flatter and an no-gap Ice Magwell makes reloads super smooth.

JayDee, on the DP no-gap Ice Magwell, do you have to buy the mainspring housing also?

[Good load for 1911 9mm]

Thanks a lot, everyone! I'll post AAR once I get my PM9.

[n320 equivalent?]

I started using Titegroup once I ran out of N320. Same load on Bayou 147gr. 3.2gr, performs the same on my G34 and M&P Pro. Titegroup just a tad hotter.

[Good load for 1911 9mm]

I'm getting a Dan Wesson Pointman 9 in a couple of weeks. Been reading on a few forums it could be very finicky on what you feed it. I shoot 147gr Bayou Bullets, flat point. Any special OAL , crimp, etc? My standard load is 3.2gr of Titegroup with OAL=~1.135, enough PF for IDPA. All suggestions welcomed! Thanks.

[9mm IDPA Bug loads]

I just chronoed 147 Bayou on top of 3.2 Titegroup through my M&P Shield. Six rounds 850fps/125pf-866fps/127pf. I've been running it on BUG. Hope it helps.

[Tuning a Dan Wesson PM 9 for IDPA competition]

Any suggestions on what kind of tuning job on a PM9 to make it humming in IDPA? Thanks.

[Diffuser rods for Caldwell Chronograph]

OK, so I call Battenfeld and order 4 rods, $1.25 each. Not a bad deal. I got them and I used today. Thanks for all your suggestions.

[N340 usage]

I have a pound of N340 that I bought to compare but I have no good loading data. I would like to load 45acp with Bayou Bullets 230 gr. Any good recipe out there? Thanks.

[Diffuser rods for Caldwell Chronograph]

Great ideas! Thanks.

[Diffuser rods for Caldwell Chronograph]

OK, so I'm a new member of the "I Shot My Chrono" club. Luckily I hit one of the rear diffuser rods. Where can I buy just the rods? I've been searching but no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

[Most Accurate 9mm Bullet]

Bayou Bullets, 147 gr. is my choice. Soft recoil with 3.2 of N320 or Titegroup. Makes PF all the time with Glock 34, M&P Pro, and Glock 19.

[Scored some VV N320 powder today]

Very good and clean powder. Great powder if you shoot Bayou Bullets. 147 gr, sitting on top of 3.2 gr gives you good PF.

[Reusing Spent Primers]

Thanks, guys. Reuse them it is. Saves me money!!

[Reusing Spent Primers]

RDA is correct. These are live primers that fall off into the chute and then a plastic tube attachments I bought on eBay.

[Reusing Spent Primers]

Is anyone reusing the primers that fall off the primer dispenser? In other words, I have an attachment that catches the primer that for whatever reason was never set in the casing so it falls into this little tube. I want to reuse those primers. Any reason why not?

[Need Help- Replace 650 Ring Indexer]

Thanks to all of you that replied with your help. So I took everything apart and replaced the ring indexer. WHAT A PITA!!! BTW, after I figured out from where to where and how the spring was supposed to go, I hooked the end that goes on the ring indexer and then I threaded the other end with a toothpick and stretched along the cam until I was able to hook it to the other post. Thanks again.

[Need Help- Replace 650 Ring Indexer]

I don't know how but the ring indexer cracked and broke. Where can I find instruction how to replace it? I have the spare parts bag and have the necessary parts. I need help on the installation. Feel free to chime in. Thanks.

[Light strike/failure to fire]

Mont1120 was correct. I ran all the misfired rounds through my 1911 and worked flawless. I went back and swapped the firing pin spring back to factory. I'll do more testing. Thanks.
