Good to know! I saw that EGW was making parts specifically for the Prodigy and was thinking that they might not be 100% compatible with all 1911/2011 parts. Sounds like this is not the case and standard 2011 mags will work just fine?

Looks like the Springfield prodigy ships with one 17 round and one 20 round magazine. Does anybody know if the tube size of each is identical? I would want to increase capacity for LO by swapping the base pads ans I'm trying to figure out how many additional magazines I would need to get.

Too bad they're a pain to load! I've run some bay style rifle matches and only use the 60 when I know 40 will be cutting it close

Good point.

Really? While I agree that you shouldn't need a gunsmith I never heard of a 1911 with drop in parts. Is this supposed to be a feature of the prodigy?

Thanks all. A thorough cleaning seems to have worked.

Loading on a 650 and got a few of these recently. Thoughts on what might be causing?

Thanks for checking!

Thanks Don. That would be great if you could check!

I bought a pair of used Remington versa max and want to remove the extended tube on one and add a plug to use for hunting. There are 2 different thread pitches…coarse on the tube and fine on the extension. The cap is the fine thread. Anyone know thread pitch/compatibility for the stock tube (the coarse thread)? Can’t seem to find any specifically for the VM since they don’t make it anymore

Thanks. That’s what I figured. Was contemplating doing the free SBR registration with a pistol so I have a backup SBR but sounds like I can keep just one on the books for now.

The lower that I use for 99% of my shooting in 556 and 300 blk is my SBR lower. Has anyone heard of lowers failing (cracking or other issues)? Only about 15k but wondering if I need to be concerned as I get to 50k, 100k etc.

I tried some and was not impressed. 1.5 moa at best out of my barrel (20” WOA). Good enough for hitting long range steel on the cheap out to 700 yards at local range I guess. Same barrel is 1 moa with 75 gr hpbt hornady and 1/2 moa with both 77 and 69 gr SMKs.

I’m not 100% sure but I think hammer and trigger are. There’s a list out there somewhere. Probably here… Did the 3.5” shells chamber but not go bang? Or go bang but not cycle?

Thanks! Are you using their targets and app to record shot placement? Seems like it be valuable feedback…kinda like how we use live fire to confirm dry fire work.

I’m planning to do some more rifle training over the winter and wondering if anybody has experience with this system? If so, has it been reliable? Have you been able to out run the reset? when using their app and targets to track shot placement, is it possible to use multiple targets to measure transitions? https://mantisx.com/products/blackbeard-the-auto-resetting-trigger-for-ar-15

I bought a pair of the a couple of years ago. They were used and abused in 3 gun for years prior and have been 100% reliable for me with all loads. They came with a ton of spare parts but I also learned that most benelli m4 parts are directly compatible with the versa max.

CW makes a wide body single stack grip. Definitely a more expensive option but could use your limited gun frame and slide. https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com/CW-Accessories-WIDE-BODY-SINGLE-STACK-GRIP-P5999.aspx

Yes. That’s the first thing I tried. Probably just needs some dremel love!

I have a lone star innovation steel grip and after a few years it’s aggressive texturing has become dull. Has anyone tried to touch up their grip to bring the bite back?

I just paged through the latest issue of the Dillon catalog and see that they are still selling both the 1050 and 1100. Anyone know why they’re selling the old model side by side and at the same price as the new?

I have a LSI steel grip and both STI and PT inserts for my Alpha X holster. Both inserts have more slop than I'd like (front back movement). What inserts seem work best with this grip?

I have 2 versamax setup for 3gun. I want replace the tube on one to a factory sporting size (2-3 rounds) so I can use for small game hunting in Pa (tube needs to be plugged to 2 rounds). Anyone know what tubes are compatible? Seems like the only ones out there are tube extensions

Any updates on this? Haven’t been here in a while bc I normally just go to TT for forums.

Thanks for sharing that thread. Sounds like I should be good to go.
