[Looking for "online" coach for my daughter (junior)]

I know this is a bit old now but I’m wondering if you’re still running it and what your thoughts are on it? I haven’t found any real reviews on it. 

[How do you fit a FPS to an Aftec extractor correctly?]

So I know this isn't a drop-in part normally and could use some guidance. I couldn't find much on how to do this when searching this forum or Youtube and using it as-is, it's not feeding consistently, mostly not going into battery all the way. It does seem to eject perfectly though.

 

I would like to get this extractor working in my 9mm open but can't seem to find instructions I can understand to get this done. I read somewhere to bezel the groove in the FPS so that it can pivot, but how much, and I question if I'm even doing it right cause I can't find a decent picture to compare it to. I also read you normally don't have to mess with the hook, even though my stock one is rounded and polished. But I question that now cause of the inconsistent feeding.

 

Can anyone point me to something that holds my hand thru this process?

 

thanks in advance.

[N350 and 38 sc]

I'm pretty sure N350 is what Sailor uses in his open guns. No idea about it myself. I'm an HS-6 guy.

[What pistol do you carry for self defense (vs the one you compete with)?]

Using a 2011 in open for USPSA and carry a sig 938 with a spare mag all year round

This is what I would really like to do ultimately but finding a range and getting a club off the ground seems a bit daunting.

For me personally that’s almost too far to drive for a match, let alone just to practice.

Yeah, that's my limit for a regular match. I wish I had more options where I lived.

[Is 1.5 hours too far for an outdoor pistol range]

Just looking to get other's opinion on this one. Is an hour and a half too far for you for an outdoor pistol range that allows movement and USPSA style shooting?

 

For me, that's really damn far to train, which since I work a Mon-Fri 9-5, is only available on Sat. there, unless I took a day off of work, which couldn't happen consistently since I would run out of PTO. And it stands to reason Sat. would more than likely be busy making it even more difficult. I know dryfire is the obvious choice but I would rather not test my dryfire at the actual matches.

I’m using a 7 lbs variable with 3 coils cut and 3 aluminum shock buffs (since I have a stroked gun) thanks to their testing. It shoots great. Also switched from WAC to AA7 per their input.

 

 

Why the shock buffs? Wouldn't that essentially negate the stroking?

Also met all of their team shooters and learned a lot about tuning the guns, powder selection, bullet choices, springs etc. Thanks guys!

Do you mind sharing what you learned from those guys? I also run an Akai in 9 major and I don't have a lot of info about it in regards to what you've mentioned above. In fact, I had to learn about cutting a coil off the recoil spring from a podcast since it's a stroked gun.

[Akai Kantana barrel 7 holes plus comp]

9gr of HS6 with a 115 that's what Shay told me

What kind of PF are you getting with that? My same barrel from him is doing fine with 8.6-8.8

[Mag hitting underside of barrel ramp]

Thank you for everyone's help. I'll just take steps to fix this as you all suggested and move on from there. 

[Mag hitting underside of barrel ramp]

Common.  File that spot away from the mag and I like to file back the bottom of the ramp until it doesn't overhang so much while against the VIS.

VIS?

[Mag hitting underside of barrel ramp]

Awesome. I was a bit worried to the point that I just replaced the mag. Guess I'll keep it for now.

[Mag hitting underside of barrel ramp]

So this is a new 9major gun on a PT frame and a STI grip. I went with a MBX mag for my reload mag. After a few practice sessions\matches, I noticed the mag lip was dented. I took the gun apart and found what is in the pictures. After a little more investigation, the front high corner of any older STI, SVI, or new MBX mag makes contact with the bottom squared corner of the feed ramp. Due to the way the gen2 STI mags are cut, they are free and clear. I have confirmed that the marring on the underside of the feedramp does not affect feeding or function of the gun, at least from what I can tell.

 

I guess my question is, do I have a major issue here? I don't mind using the STI mags. They've worked great for me. Also, is this issue a problem with the grip by chance? Because I've been saving to move to an EVO one of these day and if that will clear this up, all the better. Any opinions or advice is appreciated.

[Which optic mount for DPP]

Brazos makes one that will be centered without milling 

I checked Brazo's sight and only saw mounts RTS mostly, nothing about the loop-pold.

[Which optic mount for DPP]

Everglades. Best price and best quality.

What's the deal with having to file the pad in order to center it? How goofy does it look if you don't do that?

[Which optic mount for DPP]

So I'm making the switch to DPP from a slide ride (ty 9major) and need to find a mount for a PT frame. I'm leaning towards an Atlas since they also use the PT frames in their builds. Anybody have any suggestions for a single sided mount?

They come in 2 packs, just assembled as 1 for easier packaging.

[Zig Racker keeps coming loose]

Interested to see if the new racker fixed the issue. I’m planning on running a zig on my new build.

So I got the unmolested teacher in the mail today and it made a huge difference in the tightness. I'm guessing my gunsmith filled just a little too much of the original one.

[Spacers in ST I Get 1 mags]

Thank you for the pictures. I'm guessing the back of my mag is out of spec based on your picture I guess it could be the spacer is cute too wide, but based on the she if the mags, I don't think so.

[Spacers in ST I Get 1 mags]

I will say that with good springs and followers I have never had any reliability issues with either one. Attached or loose.

I'm running Grams sand the only issue that doesn't seem right at the moment is that the 2nd or 3rd down catches when I'm loading the mag

[Spacers in ST I Get 1 mags]

I silicones my metal spacers in because I don’t like rattles. But you can just leave them loose. Mine sit much closer to the top of the tube. Basically at or slightly below the matching cut out.
 Follower should come all the way up. Is that a 9mm follower or a 38? 

Is this looking correct?

[Spacers in ST I Get 1 mags]

It's a 9mm. I guess my mag is a bit out of spec

[Spacers in ST I Get 1 mags]

Do these spacers get glued to rear of the tube so it doesn't rattle? Is the top of the spacer supposed to sit flush with the top of the mag, the place with the U notch? Is the follower supposed to come all the way to the top like an unmolested mag? For some reason, it just seems like I'm not doing something right.
