Not sure what you're referring to....
"2011 for poors"
Great message...

Example: JP Lower, Trigger, Bolt, Barrel and Buffer (SCS). Everything is made to work as a system and has been tested with the other parts.
I will say my early model JP has never had a problem. It's just heavy.

I know they're hit and miss, but the Rise PCC trigger is working for me.
Also, New Armory just restocked their ejectors in case you need a spare or two.

That kind of gatekeeping is always so cringe. Why do gun owners turn on each other like this?

"Just"
LOL.
Now that I have the 5007, two spacer weights and an extended tube, I have the impulse I want with my 5" barrel (16" welded shroud). Very soft impulse now. Replacing the Aero ejector should be the last part to get it to work right - the aero one sits too low due to where the hole for the set screw is.

What’s the science behind this?
Heavier blowback, heavier bolt.

Another conversation for Claudio if I ever get down there.

Got the Caspian/Briley Fantom I bought at auction in today. Along with the presentation box, the original shipping box was still with it. I saw the label and said "no f*#king way."

I’m sure he means in the barrel lock up.
He specifically asked: the barrel bushing was pretty much just there to keep the recoil spring plug in place

At one, you were down range, and the expectation was that you were going to job backwards and engage left and right.
Oh, you shot Space City this year too?

Is it because new shooters today are not learning to shoot with iron sights because almost all the new "cool" guns being sold today come with optic plates and are being marketed and advertised to sell with optics? I'm seeing this in the new shooters that join our local gun club to learn to shoot. They almost all seem to show up with new guns they just bought from one of the local gun shops and all have optics pre-mounted, so that's what they learn on.
This is exactly it. Optics are an easier starting point and don't require learning the same fundamentals.

If they're using more than 10 round mags in any division at a match in NJ, that's a violation of USPSA rules.

The real question is if NJ participants switched to Limited 10 out of necessity in order to comply with the law (or they didn't want to compete against pre-ban 15 rounders).
What necessity? If everyone is shooting 10 round mags and the MD is using classifiers where 10/15 rounds won't make a difference, what's different?

Has anyone confirmed yet that the rear sight on the RMR plate is actually a Glock dove tail cut?
MAC has.

Here's what Dawson sent me when I asked about suppressor height sights for the MAC:
No sorry, we will not offer sights for that setup or this model.
Thank you for contacting us.
With the MAC optics plate using a Glock cut rear sight plate, wouldn't it be ordering a Glock rear and a 1911/2011 front of the appropriate height?

Coming back to this - still working fine?

I was going to create a similar thread but I'll jump in here - similar question and I'd love the advice of members.
I also built an Aero EPC 9mm Glock lower out with a carbine length tube, PSA 9mm bolt (14.18 oz) + FM 9mm buffer (5.47 oz, does not appear to be "longer") for a total weight of 19.61 oz. Odin Works barrel. Flat-wire carbine spring. LaRue MBT-2S trigger. Well lubed. Lots of FTF. Tried swapping out with my FM9 bolt (nearly the same weight 14.14 oz). Same problem. Cannot get it to feed consistently - even had one case of brass getting into the FCG.
Met up with a guy at the range running a similar put-together PCC with the Gentle Recoil setup: https://blowback9.wordpress.com/2023/05/28/9mm-ar-gentle-recoil-buffer-system-final/ - he had a KE lower (so no flat wire spring) and it was night and day difference in feel... and it ran without a hiccup.
Seems like it all has to do with weight, and I've seen similar advice to this all over the internet: Buffer system+bolt mass should always total 22oz or more. If that's the case, why are most common off the shelf pieced-together setups coming in under 20 oz?
I've got the components (JRC longer tube, weights, heaview buffer) coming in to put together this system and see how it runs... but I'd love to hear from the experts here around tuning these beasts.

I'd want a 5"
I'm curious, why? If running an optic, what's the advantage of the longer slide length? Given that the Staccato P is 4.3" and seems to be doing okay, is something else in play (cycle time, reliability, etc.)?

Next would be maybe something like EGW internals added to the gun. Then lastly through out everything but the frame, slide and barrel and redo the whole thing with new safeties, sights, slide release etc.
Why would this be necessary on a gun with machined steel parts? What is this fetish with immediately replacing known-good parts with EGW internals? I see this on Reddit but didn't expect it here.

Why though? Why does a completely different game need to pick up a new division because USPSA did?
I think it's more "there's a difference in a slide mounted dot without a comp and a frame mounted dot with a comp/porting" driving the ask for "why not do it like USPSA did?" Others make the point that simply expanding the scope of CO to include LO would work.
I don't have a dog in the fight but it's an interesting discussion.

Hopefully this gets shot down immediately so we don't have to keep bringing it up.
There is virtually zero difference in practice between LO and either CO or Open in SCSA.I'd be fine with removing the Production gun requirement for CO in SCSA and just making it "frame mounted dot, no compensator, who cares if you have a magwell you won't use."

Revolver Rimfire would be great with me too. I'm sure several of my shooting buddy's would shoot RR if it was an official class.
Why not shoot it in the existing divisions? You'd be pretty competitive. -
Here's the real question: When is Limited Optics coming to SCSA? Right now, SA + Optics = Open, even for slide-ride optics.

If they're sprung the same as the Tisas models, they're 16# from the factory. Should be able to use any Commander-length spring.

Yep. Working on a lighter build now. Seeing faster times. Think I have it 100% and will find out tonight.
