CHA-Lee, this is great information, however the mods of this forum punish you for doing just that, I use the search function to find all kinds of info on here instead of asking the same questions that have been covered hundreds of times.... Turns out, if you do that and then post to the classifieds the mods shut you down because they say you do not contribute.... How many times can you make replies to the same questions.... lol

Thank you JPl I planned on using Manson’s just didn’t know if I needed the throated and reamer I’ll hold off on the throater Thx again

Getting some parts ready for a build this winter and wanted to see the best way of reaming/throating the barrel for an open 9mm Major. I am not sure of what bullet I will be using yet, so not really knowing this information where do you guys start. Do you just get a Manson reamer along with a .356 Manson throater and deepen the throat when you pick your bullet? from what I have read (never shot major so I am newbie) I want to load to about 1.165 or 1.17, I am sure just the standard reamer will not allow for this. Did any of you have specific reamers built and if so do you have the specs that can be sent into Manson?

The fit is tight and does not spring, it took a lot of sanding on the bottom front of the barrel and about an inch back on the top, this being a hybrid barrel I wasn't sure where the contact points would be. I will have to pay close attention next time to if it looks like it is clocking the barrel That's a good point Thx I will look.

Thank you guys I was hoping I had not messed it up I didn't do a very good job cutting the lower lugs as they were not perfectly parallel, I am currently only getting contact on one leg but lock up is still too tight. I'm hoping when that high spot gets removed it contacts both legs

I cut the lower barrel lugs on a schuemann hybrid barrel and I have good lock up but the slide has some rearward movement after lock up, the barrel is still locked up tight but the slide, barrel and all moves on the frame slightly, Did I cut the barrel lugs too far back? It just doesn't make sense because if that was causing the issue the slide moving backwards on the frame is moving away from the back of the lugs.

Thanks I will try to get a hold of them tomorrow

I tried calling them multiple times last week I didn't try today but will tomorrow in the am. I also emailed them last week and no response back

Looking for GH40CNM5 Which is a 40 cal hybrid Clark para cut I don't care if it's standard rifling or aet Just needs to be a hybrid

Thanks for the bump When I add to cart on the website It doesn't do anything I don't think the website is operational

Does anyone know if Schuemann is still in business? I am unable to get a hold of anyone.

Thank you for your input, this is what I was looking for.

CHA-LEE Have you witnessed this as well or just read about it? Just curious if you have had a personal experience with it and a Kaboom.

Thank you Atlas, If it is real inconsistent then I may not even bother with it and just run Tightgroup or WSF since i have it on hand.

Yeti, I didnt get the PM.

I may start working up a load starting at 3.7 and see what it's like.

I have heard several times not to run 200's with Clays powder, I have shot a lot of 180's with Clays at 4.4 loaded to 1.19 to get about 171 PF out of my Limited and SS gun, I show no pressure signs and have shot probably 10-12k of them. Does anyone run 200's with Clays, I just haven't been ballsy enough to try it yet since people on here warn against it, but curious if most of those people just are regurgitating information that someone else told them. Has anyone tried it and actually seen any pressure signs doing it?

We will probably have a classifier only match at the Bullet Hole on a Friday night in early spring. Bullet hole is in Shawnee KS (Kansas City)

I think I will end up going this route as well, thanks.

I appreciate the feedback I have been watching ck website but slides have not been available I'll keep watching I'm not in a hurry

Looking for a slide for my first 2011 build, I have a hybrid 40 barrel and a CK LDC frame and older style PT metal grip What slide options are your choice and why? I was looking at the sacred defense slides, does anyone have any experience using them?

With all the bad customer service these days I just thought I would mention the great customer service I have had with these two companies the last couple weeks, I had an issue with my racemaster holster where I stripped the screws out and Saul personally responded to my question of asking where I can get just the part I needed, I didn't need the entire mount just part of it, they did not have it listed for sale and I was fully expecting to buy it and they sent me one free of charge... Stand up company. Mark VII I had cancelled an order for a 650 autodrive unit and was having issues getting the refund back on my CC because my card in the mean time had been stolen and they put a stop on it, Jay called me personally and transferred the money back to me via other means... It is great to do business with like minded people.

I ended up going with the daa medium bag, so far I have been very happy with it. Only complaint so far is its not the most comfortable to wear as a backpack, but I typically do not have it on that long anyway.

What would be the point of a safety change if you are shooting for production? Would it be more for the thumb rest and grip comfort? Not being a smart ass I am just curious since I never use the safety on mine.

Just submitted the order for the DAA med, thank you guys for your input.
