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.

I bent my stock spring and cleaned up the follower and it worked fine for 9mm. But would jam or roll with my 38super. The feedlips also were super undersized from what is recommended for STI tubes. I had to open them up to feed my 38super as it was too tight.

Sometimes you all look at things with microscopes when it should be with beer goggles. Yes it's $240, no it's not going to lock up like a $4,000 gun. It works as intended and after some dry fire it's going to have scratches. My my only issue is during the draw it rolls inward and partially can bind slightly. It's probably because I draw hard out of the holster.

Thanks! I love it, specially with the steel grip and stainless heavy magwell. Lots of weight in the hand.

my personal build in the white- need to run some more rounds through it before sending off for coating. Mostly because I'm enjoying dry fire and range time and not ready to give it up for a few weeks.

Awesome, great to know. Id buy an extreme just for the non hardchrome if I didn't car about a budget. Lol

Thinking CCIs for primers. Probably on a xl650. Love a 1050 but it doubles the price. Was as going to order the list of PD parts/springs. Send them my barrel for reaming and I'll polish everything myself. I havent decided if I want a stock 2 or 3. I like the idea of a bull barrel but hate hard chrome. So I may have to send it for refinishing.

I use a C clamp to hold the ejector in to the frame for drilling. Helps if you do or don't have a reverse drill bit.

Cheers mate! I was just curious based off doing your recommendations and what a starting base is. I definitely understand it's like a recoil spring on an open gun, tuning adjusts which you need so buy the variety pack to tune on. I'm looking to start some production fun and I'm terrible about buying everything and trying it out. So instead of having a $3000 production gun I'm trying to budget/plan this out right. Lol

I haven't watched the videos yet since I'm on mobile with almost no data left. But what is the best way to decide hammer spring weight for your ammo? Based on primer choice? I've seen it mentioned before but not run across a list of weights to primer types. At least as a best guess since very gun is different

So I had this happen just recently as I played around with tuning my trigger pre/post travel. Mine was a disconnector problem. My trigger travel was extending to far and applying excessive pressure against my disconnector. When I held the trigger to the rear, racking the slide was a challenge. It would actually hang up in live fire as well until I adjusted the trigger properly to not press so far against the disconnector. Not it saying this is your problem, but something to double check on.
