Range report. Extended firing pin has solved all the problems. I Even tried some hot loads that are over PF and no flow or sheer/choping at all. Thank you all for your help

So i mesured the lands depth like you would on a rifle with a overall length gauge and the round measures in at 1.3458" with a round nose projectile. Below is a sammi drawing, to me it looks as if im in the clear with that short chamber issue. Thoughts? Did i miss something?

Too bad extended FPs dont exist in the early caspian size

Im totally afraid that this could be the issue. So how does one go about measuring this? Obviously a chamber reamer can fix this if that is indeed the problem, except my barrel was just TiN coated so cutting through that will be a challenge.

Ill try some rifle primers. Ill try new fp spring The fp i have in it now fits perfect.

The marks that you see are actually not from the extractor but an area on the breech face that is raised The primer flow is not from pressure as im barely making 1325fps. This issue is from something else as the primers looks normal when fired out of a differnt gun

Cci small pistol primers. Autocomp around 7gr barely making major PF Standard egw length caspian fp. Its the only one on the market.

I've been chasing my tail for a while with my 38 super Caspian thinking over pressure was causing chop but that's not the issue. One of my friends has fired my rounds with his STI and they look completely normal confirming it is indeed something with my pistol. To give you a run down of how it first started I was having issues with primer chop jamming up the firing pin with slivers of primer, refer to the picture of three casings and notice the chopped primers on them. Reading an EGW article on firing pins about primer flow/chop I discovered that early Caspian's used an odd sized pin, so upon measurement of the firing pin and comparing it to the frames hole, it was under sized by .011" and discovered that i have an early slide. I ordered a new pin and headed to the range. So that fixed the heavy chopping of the primer face issue. But I'm still getting quite a bit of primer flow into the pin channel and a tiny tiny amount of chop. Check out the second pictures. Reading some articles some say the chamfer on the breach face could be too heavy and its giving the primer an area to funnel into, well my breach face has a chamfer but not deep enough to be the issue as its barely even a noticeable chamfer. Also I've stumbled across some posts elsewhere that talk about having too light of an ignition train. Well I am running a titanium strut and titanium mainspring cap top with a 17# main spring, could this be the issue? Hopefully some one on here has dealt with this issue, and has some pointers.... please!!!!!

The tooth is removable according to Saul on both

BMaus, thats only if you have a tight one to start. My trigger guard is skinny the other way But no worries gang, Saul has emailed me and told me that i can get a tighter fitting "tooth" just by asking. And from there i will have to machine to fit

Thanks. Ill look into it

Common sense is lacking in the atf world if you haven't already noticed

Now it all makes sence.. btw that picture is from a Guns America newsletter.

I already have an optic. Ive just noticed that some dont. It just wasn't talked about in the group at the club.

Ive loaded over 40k of 45 with titegroup and never had an issue with over throw. Make sure you keep doing preventative maintenance and always cycle the powder bar 3x before taking the next mesurement after a change.

Here's my .45 ACP grease gun mag fed beast

Definitely different! Looks great

Thank you, I'll send him a message

Tactical Timmy is in the house!

My local range has been doing the pcc thing in our monthly steel match for 3 months now. Not many shoot it yet, but its also winter here. It will catch on, but it may take some time. The real question is, since its run what you brung, how is it fair between irons and optics?
