Rumpy

Awesome stuff, this thread just gets better and better - Nice rigs gentlemen!!

Doesn't the slidestop take more of the impact when the slide returns forward, not under recoil forces? If this is incorrect could someone please explain how slidestop breakage is more likely with lighter recoil springs?

Stu, will a fiber front sight off a Tanfoglio fit??? they have a similar setup with a grub screw.

Great pics, keep them coming!!

Very interested in seeing some pics of how you've set up the jpoint, any chance you could post some pics of your SP-01

Man, that is a cool pic

If it is any help. I had a custom STI 9mm standard gun, it came with a 9lb recoil spring and it just didn't feel right. I tried numerous others and ended up with a 12.5lb recoil spring and the sweetest shooter I think I had a 17lb mainspring.

Great work Ben, Thank you for sharing, The stage breakdown was awesome. Look forward to further instalments. Good luck

Thanks for the input. Alamo, I'll try that. I am a master level shooter. I do walk throughs, plan my reloads and visualise the stage prior to shooting it and still make the uncommanded reloads - It's like being on auto pilot.

I have developed a bad habit of sub-consciously dumping my mag just about every time I move more than a few paces. Some matches I won't do it, and others I may do it a few times per stage when not required to do a reload or in the wrong spot. Last match I shot a 17rd stage and did 3 reloads, 2 of which were not planned. Just to clarify I shoot production. Does anyone have any ideas how train myself not to do this???

Interesting stuff, thank you

This is a great load. I use 3.6gr N320 under a 147gr Westcoast Plated at 1.142 for a PF of around 140 as well out of my Glock 34. I use 3.4gr of N320 under the Lasercast 145gr LRN. bberkley, Would you be able to tell me what the pf is for the 145gr LRN load please?

I used to use 3.5gr of WST behind a 145gr LRN for practice, and bumped it up to 3.7gr for competition for a better chrono margin. 3.5gr gave me 129pf out of an XD Tactical.

Please tell me that was an Open gun.....

HSMITH, could you please explain what a Case Pro is.... I have never heard of one???
