Yes. Thanks!

I have gen 1 and 2. Both run flawless

Grams springs/followers in MBX tubes/baseplate. Love em

100% MBX mags. I bought some STI gen2 mags and still prefer MBX

RMR 115 FMJs, 8.8-9.0gr HS6, Winchester SRP @ 1.165". Should be around 170pf. It is by far a better feeling load than 124s IMO. I've put about 10,000 rounds thru mine this year with 0 leading

My whole theory is the following. We're shooting open division. We want the gun to stay flat. We want to work the comp. Why not give it as much gas as possibly to do so? Hence, 115s. With HS6, there's still quite a bit of room in the case to fit a 115. I'm using matching headstamp brass and load to 1.165". It's not a compressed load.

Just made M, 2 weekends ago. 9mm, 115fmj, 9.0 HS6, STI DVC Open

So I'm curious as to what class everyone is that's chiming in. Not in a bragging way either. Just another reference point. Or am I a bell-end for asking?

I've put about 8000 rounds thru my DVC open of fmj with exposed lead base. I have 0 leading in my comp with 9.0 grains of hs6 under it. Everyone says there's more surface area on a HP compared to a FMJ. So I purposely squibbed a variety of HP's and my FMJ to be able to measure the amount of surface area that touched the lands/groves of my barrel. There was no difference. Your results may vary. I used 115s btw

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that puts you in open division. Unless you're not shooting it for USPSA.

I use a custom made one since I'm a lefty.

For 9 major, most people that I shoot with including myself use 115s. I feel like the recoil impulse is softer than 124s. I've tried 124s multiple times with many different projectiles. I still prefer 115s. I use basic FMJs and love them.

I'm sure others said this but I'm not reading the whole thread. This was my first full season of open. My suggestion is skip it and shoot CO. It costs wayyyyyyy less and if you're very good, you can beat open shooters with CO. It happens all the time around here. Only the shooter does production and beats GMs in open..

STI factory internal's are junk. Replace them all and the problem will go away.

Looks like I need to replace my FP Spring. Didn't even think of that either.

I wish someone made a "S shaped" racker for us south paws. If I used the straight one that came with my open gun, it gets in the way sometimes when drawing my gun. By that I mean I hit it with my right hand thumb when going to put it on my thumb rest

yes I agree. I have approximately 5000 rounds thru my open gun with my DPP and not 1 issue. The DPP on my backup gun has maybe 300 rounds on it with no problems. I'll probably be putting another one on my Walther Q5 for a CO gun. I love my DPPs

I want to shoot an atlas chaos...

I've been using basic acetone lately. Seems to work fine. Kinda stinky, but it goes away quick

I do not own a RTS2 because I've seen a bunch of people have problems. And I figure I have enough problems that I don't want to install a new one of my gun

Just leave it on during a match and before its your turn, take off the cover and look thru the lens. If it's too bright, adjust accordingly. Obviously I'm talking about doing so while in the holster still... I feel like this downfall of it is outweighed by all the benefits of the pckage

I have 3 MBX 170s and 3 155 Mbx mags. I only use the big sticks I watched Atlas gun works YouTube videos on tuning mags which fixed my problem

Started shooting this game in limited. Did that for 2 years then switched to open. Haven't looked back

You must be talking about Speer Gold Dot +P 9mm matching headstamp? I've shot about 4000 casing of it in my open gun. So 115s 9.0hs6 at 1.165"... Anyway, I specifically bought this brass to not pick it up. The little amount of brass I've picked up, I find about 1 or 2 casing split out of 100. That being said, just shoot it and leave it.

Apparently I already answered once and decided to share my input twice...
