I upgraded one of my mags with grams spring follower and 4mm TTI basepad and it’s been 100% reliable for the one practice session and one match it’s seen so far. Good enough for me to upgrade the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ordered a pair of hell cats online and they fit true to size for me. Comfortable and great traction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Keep an eye on the classifieds. There should be some great deals on used guns popping up now as people look to make changes after nationals. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea how to tell if my sti tubes are gen 1 or 2? I don’t see any markings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok. Thanks for the help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s what my plan was/is but seems like a lot of people are using MBX so wondering if they have any advantage. To upgrade the sti tubes I need spring, basepad and follower. Right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought a used Edge (.40) that came with 18 round mags. I’d like to upgrade to 20. They all currently feed and function 100%. Anyone know if there is any advantage to getting MBX 20 round mags vs upgrading the guts on the the sti tubes? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes. The turnaround time was super fast too. Not sure if this is always the case or if this will remain the case as they grow but it was less than an hour. Ben pointed out a bunch of little things that I would have never noticed (head position, shoulder positioning, and efficiencies in movement) that all add up over the stage. You can also view their critiques of other members as well. Here's a screenshot so you can see the turnaround time.

I have the silver membership. So far I think it's pretty awesome. You can post questions on the forum like you do here but the big difference that you're going to get insight directly from Ben or Kim. I have received great insight from enos members over the years but I think there's an added value knowing exactly who the feedback is coming from. There is also a lot of video content. Some is basically a video of how to do some of the drills Ben has in his books but they also have stage breakdown video, video from Ben's classes, breakdown video of why Ben or Kim shot a stage the way they did, and detailed analysis of member submitted video. With the silver membership they'll review one of your match or training videos/month and provide very detailed feedback on what you're doing right or wrong along with some drill to help improve. I'd say that if you're serious about training and getting better, there is a lot on pstg that can help with that goal.

Same here. Using the blue Wilson in a SA RO in 45. Feels like the sightly shorter slide cycle returns my sights quicker. Whether or not it does, I like it. I change every 1500 rounds or so and have not noticed and cracks or excessive wear in the buff within 1500 rounds and have gone through 5 since I started using them.

Which one is no longer made? I thought they both were. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went from a Lee pro 1000 to an LnL and now have a 650. Upgraded to the 650 after 2 frustrating years loading about 20,000 rounds on the lnl. The biggest weakness of the lnl (from my experience) is the case feeder. Between the top (jammed funnel) and bottom ends (feeding cases on to shell plate) I could never get through more than 200 rounds without a stoppage. I now load about 800 rounds/hr and have not had a single notable issue with the 650. For me, it just works. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glocks work great until you start messing with perfection [emoji16] I’ve been luck but you can’t beat the reliability of the stock parts! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don’t see people switch back to stock often after they invest in a nice competition trigger. Were you having reliability issues? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got it! Thanks for all the help. It took about an hour of file test file test! I’m glad this isn’t my day job [emoji16]had to remove material from the top half that the plunger pushes against. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There isn’t a detent on the stop but the factory part doesn’t have one either. Is there supposed to be or am I missing something? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys. It’s a 45 and is the correct slide stop. There definitely is some drag against the frame. I’ll break out my files and smooth it out a bit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope! Vanek drop in, jager lighted, extended and tuned striker, and 4lb striker spring. Smooth and crisp with a short reset. Adding the striker took it from really good to fantastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also shoot a 17 with 147 gr coated. I was able to cut my group size in half moving from stock barrel to a kkm (8” to about 4” offhand at 25). With that being said, my stock barrel shot great with plated but the kkm does not. I believe this was because the plated I had were .355 vs .356 for the coated. Before committing to a new barrel, I’d try a few different bullets (including factory) and shoot them from a rest at 25. And, as mentioned above, too much crimp can cause accuracy issues too. Pull some of your reloads to see if you’re crimping through the coating. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New slide stop does not reliably lock open on last round. When it does it just barely catches. I’m confident it’s not the mag springs as I’ve tried several including new. Any ideas? Does a slide stop requiring fitting? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2 for me for the same reasons. Local is only 15 minutes away but sucks when someone shows up and ruins your practice plans. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The priming system was so unreliable that I sized/deprimed, then hand primed, then loaded. The problems caused by a missed primer were maddening! Don’t get me wrong the pro 1000 is great for people that don’t load in high volume and like tinkering as much as loading. It’s like the fisher price version of a progressive press though. Once I started shooting uspsa, I just couldn’t take it anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone else start on a Lee Pro 1000 and end up loading on a Dillon 650? Really elevates your appreciation for Dillon’s engineering! Hard to believe I used to load 9mm in 3 separate steps! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use one in my SS gun. Shooting major (45), I like the short stroke effect. Not sure if it actually does this but I get the sense of a faster slide cycle and faster follow up shot with the buff in place. Haven’t timed wit or witout though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably depends on the width of your bench. Mine is 6’ and I was originally planning on mounting in the center thinking I’d have plenty of room for workspace on each side but ultimately decided that mounting to the right would be best so the bench could double as a standing desk for when I work from home.
