Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. @theWacoKid i agree to never change the recoil spring. However who cares about the recoil spring? Its all about the mainspring and sear spring which I change Biweekly for maximum consistency.
  2. Its all important @Gooldylocks. Just like you said. And i can tell you right now, as someone who shoots with national champions and world champions monthly, the topic of reloading on a 28 rd stage comes up often. And the consensus is always, not to reload. If its important enough to factor into the equation of a stage, 28 rds with some steel and long shots (very common around me), it matters having the capacity to do so. If i told them, hey my mag only holds 27 so im going to pop a reload right here nice and easy. They would have the same reaction i would, laugh, say that sucks and ask of they need to borrow a 170. Let there be no confusion, when you have the ability to not reload.... you dont reload. It probably isnt going to put you 10% ahead of someone of equal skill. But it gives you an advantage. And when you are the only one without that advantage, you decrease the likelyhood of winning. And when you already spend untold thousands a year in ammo alone. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU NOT GET A MAGAZINE THAT HOLDS 29 TO 30 RDS? This is James sighning out. Or jumping off a bridge which seems preferable to this argument.
  3. It matters. You want to have the option because it is always more effiecent to not reload. But its so stage dependent. I dont know why anyone would ever say it doesnt matter, because it clearly does. Ofcourse if you shoot against people who are not as good as you, you can do what you want. But if you are with matched competiton, small things like not having to risk a reload on a 28rd stage ...matter. im really not sure why this thread has gone past the answer... yes it matters, unless you are a big fish in a little pond or you suck, the end.
  4. He is talking about me, check my last post
  5. That being said, once i got my brass sorting in order and added primer checking to the top of my list.. these are the most reliable and accurate open guns i have ever owned.
  6. So i do have some experience with this, in 2011s. There is a very fine line between going off and not going off... my 1050 found that line for me. The SV AET barrels give literally 0 wiggle room for case length. I loaded a batch of ammo that had just slightly high primers. Enough to hold the slide to the perfect amount for a case failure. 2x on the same batch. Till i discovered the flaw, hand seated the remainder of the primers, and shot the remaining 600 rounds with no issues. It can also happen with crimped brass that still has a little bump of brass ring on the back. But it CAN happen. Every sv i have ever handled is capable of dropping the hammer the same amount out of battery as that gun. https://imgur.com/1RTOahM
  7. took me about 15 min to get it running 100%. Just had to move the pattern lower, by drafting the ejector and touching up the extractor a touch.
  8. I shot blues in my open guns for about a year till i hit master. The blues work. But they have some drawbacks. Good amount of lead deposits in the comp after 2k rds or so, super smokey and with lead at open velocities you will get a flyer of 1 to 2 inches off every 20rds or so. Ymmv, and i will still use them on occasion for practice. But the cost difference is negligable enough that PD 124 jhp is just a no brainer.
  9. Yeah i had one break in the same spot, moved to traditional extractors now.
  10. I have a buddy who is starting to make them that i can hook you up with. I tested one out and liked it quite a bit. I wont be trading out my SV mount, but it was pretty trick.
  11. Chris tilleys advise was turn the dot on and the dot should be pointed somewhere in a 2 or 3 inch circle right in front of your big toe. That's right about where I like it as well.
  12. 9 is pretty heavy for an open gun... get some 8s and 7s to try. Most open guns fall into those weights. Try multiple springs, but they probably came with an 8.
  13. 2011 is bull not bushing. I wouldn't use a toolless guiderod however. One more thing to go wrong on an open gun IMHO. It doesnt gain you that much convince and adds one more complexity.
  14. I thread then into the gun with the mount and see how much needs to come off. I do a roughb guess of the count of threads hanging out. Then using a SUPER thin cutoff wheel, I trim them between threads. Note, take the screws out of the gun first!
  15. They have had huge issues with the fitting of barrel links. Breaking them left and right. But if it isn't fit right, before it breaks, it could cause some of those issues.
