  1. I just got my MPX PCC, will test it this week and will run it in the match this weekend. I ordered a magwell and magazine extension for this thing. Working on my reloads this time and need some help in regards to OAL. Thanks.

    Thank you, things changed after he (bmiller) told me he has a carbon fiber coming up in the next few weeks. I will hold and wait for that one.

  3. Nice. I really want to try a hybrid too. My next build Will definitely be either a 5 or 5.4. Inch hybrid, preferably KKM, with a pt evo grip, long dust cover. I can’t be thinking about another build yet though. I’ve only put 2000rds though this one. My gun just runs and runs. Don does a really phenomenal job. 
    I can't wait to see mine in the next few days. It will have a KKM hybrid barrel.

  4. I wish i would have done a hybrid barrel on mine. But when I bought the new barrel right after buying the gun I knew knowing about 2011s and the various options. That’s going to be so sweet. 
    This is how the gun originally looks like. I can't wait to see Don's magic!8fa5c318152eb1dd03ff1389b80d1ba2.jpg

    It's about done. No more side work up front. Just gonna get cerakote

     

    Yes it's a hybrid barrel.  5". 

    Is that a KKM hybrid barrel? Don will soon start to work my old STI Competitor 38SC and I am wanting a 9mm KKM hybrid barrel.

    Here’s how my trubor came out. Really looks like a totally different gun. I haven’t shot it yet, hopefully either Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll let you know how it shoots with the holes in the barrel and the lighter slide.

    How much these kind of job cost you and who is your gunsmith? Thanks.

    Thought FMJ is not good for open because of the exposed  lead.

    I have no issues using FMJ. it's just dirty after the match, but that is not an issues since I clean my gun very often. I am now using RMR HP. 

  8. Just curious about the cost of buying the used gun and having all that work done vs just buying a new (or used) one chambered in 9mm off the get go. Seems like it’d be a wash. Is it something having to do with quality or s personal preference of components?
     
    thanks
    The first thing I considered was the budget. Since the first one he made run flawlessly why not do it again. I had a good deal on this used 38SC, still run good but I hate the fact of picking the brass and can only recover a fraction of the amount I shot. I think this is a personal preference.

    Chester who?

    I thought of changing my back-up 38 SC to 9mm. Chester is a local gunsmith in South Carolina. He worked one of my 40 STI open and changed it to 9mm now my primary gun and runs great. New slide, barrel and comp etc. A couple of months ago, I bought a used STI Competitor 38SC and he will do the same job, change the caliber to 9mm. New barrel, comp, slide lightening and chrome it.

    k, the RTS2s eat batteries.  One will not last an entire match even if I turn it down after each stage.  The dot is too dim for SC.  One will last the whole match.  The third will last one match even if I don't turn it down between stages.  The only battery I've changed in a DPP was on a new one, because the battery it came with was almost dead.

    I have the same problem with my RTS2. Try to check the battery tray. I found a crack on the tray that there were occasions the dot disappeared and cannot keep the battery life longer. 2 to 3 matches the most. Try to call Cmore and they can tell if you have an old battery tray (V2). It's been 3 months and I am still using the same battery after putting the new replacement tray from Cmore.

    AA7 9.7  124 pd 1.160.  175pf. Kkm barrel 3 pooples. 

     

    I went out and tried some loads using Accurate #7. I like it a lot, it is more flatter and  softer compared to the current powder HS6 I am using. I get a power factor of 172 at 9.5 grains. I think this will be my new favorite load. Thank you.

    Yup its my favorite major powder so far.

     

    115gr

    Oal 1.140

    9.7gr aa7

    Winchester brass and fmj bullet.

     

    Also seems to work fine with coated bullets my oal is about .050 shorter tho and the charge is just reduced a tad.

    How do you like this compared to other powders?
