Mbx 9mm/38super tubes with grams guts and followers. The mbx guts gave me problems so I tried grams and stuck with it.

Zzt I can’t agree more. I thought I wanted an M&P when they came out, until I spent time with one and realized it didn’t fit my hands as well as a the glock did. I know I could probably spend hours upon hours training to be proficient, but since it’s not my primary job, it was easier to get rid of it and shoot what felt right to start with. same with my limited and open guns, I found the evo steel grip sits far better than the plastics did, even after shaping them. took a while to realize just buying and trying to shoot a gun that looked cool wasn’t helping when it didn’t sit right in the hands.

I’ve only used the freestanding magnet and had it for 8-9yrs now and no issues. I did put some loctite on it when I first bought it.

I run small dots 4moa or 2moa. I don’t like having the dot cover up half the target or the steel plate. Currently running a Romeo 3

Wow, I’ve been out of the loop a bit. Had no idea about what was going on with Burkett. I have one of the last FN SLPs he built from back in the day out of his shop. He was easy to deal with, I sent him a message about the 3gun shotgun on his website and he called me next day to talk me through it. He cut down the stock to fit me better based of my supplied measurements, tuned the gun, opened the loading port, worked the lifter, glass filled the opened area so shells easily slide in and fingers aren’t mangled and then coated the gun in a moss green instead of the standard FN blue color. Anyway, he delivered that shotgun build to me in 2 weeks. I always wanted a handgun from him but didn’t have the funding for one of his builds. If imagine the value in the pistol shouldnt really be effected. Sure you can’t get a warranty coverage but with a 4 year old gun and being a second party buyer, does anyone expect a warranty to pass over? It’s not SV money.

light gold actually, lol. I still need to polish my racker, last thing to sand on. I'm actually waiting to see as the coating wears through to the black underbase how the aged effect will be. Then Ill just pay the hundred bucks again to re-coat when I want that fresh look again.

I am a big fan of the Romeo. Ive only used a slide ride prior and will stick with a micro dot from here on out. just got my slide/frame/magwell back from cerakote in a copper color. sanded all my other parts, just need to hit them with a metal polish to get the mirror now. Will be curious to see how the coating holds up.

gans is still building guns as far as I know. just have to send him all the parts.

i can email it to you. just message me your email. it doesnt have every classifier on it, just the ones I can manage to set up myself for dryfire or range practice.

Thinking this through as Im sending my Open gun for cerakote in a few weeks. Did you re-polish all those spots you did on the factory coating? I know you taped off the rails, but what about all the other frame spots?

I need to put my hands on both the S2 and Stock2/3 to feel the grip difference. But I'm currently shooting STI with metal EVO grips and Glocks. If Im not able to touch both of these guns, which would have a closer grip profile to what I'm used to?

To be blunt, this is a terrible idea. In mounting a frame red dot, removing the comp, adding irons to the slide, way to much work just to shoot a different division. Even running an iron sighted top end to swap in sucks when you unmount the red dot then have to loctite it all back on and confirm zero all over again. I tried this, which is how I know how much it sucks. If you swapped from a slide mounted red dot top end to an irons top end it would be a different story. But then I feel you won't really be situating yourself for success in either division.

Is there a burr on the spacer which is snagging on the follower? Rip the mag apart and look it all over.

Looks awesome bro!

I owned Dawson's for the longest time. I liked the added weight. I have taran now and that's when I noticed the weight difference on the mags. Both have worked well for me.
