[2011/1911 threaded barrel compensators]

D2 Customs is making really good comps and the are readily available

They have a 10rd capacity limit. Cancel it.

 

Not today ATF.

 

 

[38sc failure to return to battery]

Check your disconnector. If it's got a burr or is mishaped it will slow down the slide that last bit of movement.

 

Also, what pound spring are you running and have you cut any coils?

[9MM brass that was loaded for Major PF]

There's no danger. It may crack after a reload or two. Load it until it cracks and toss it.

[TS2 in Limited Optics]

S2 comes with optics ready cut. TS2 doesn't have that option from factory.

[CZC Bullshadow ejection pattern]

If you don't have any FTF/FTEs, then just send it. What powder are you using?

Getting ready to start loading for 9 major, I've narrowed it down to aa7 or hs6, what's everyone's opinion on which is cleaner, flatter and most of all, available? 

9.5-9.7gr will get you 167-174pf. 9.6gr is the major match load and has not failed chrono in a couple years.

[open 38 super bullets?]

Precision Delta V2 JHP are excellent and usually in stock. Very accurate at distance in matches

[Dvc o 9maj - type of recoil spring?]

ISMI 7lb spring in a Bedell and Brazos 9mm major as well as in an Infinity and Bedell 38SC. I usually swap out monthly. Usually buy 10 at a time.

[Cleaning after loading]

Dry tumble my ammo all the time. You will be fine

[Looking for MBX springs only]

Double Alpha as well

[Shadow 2 in LO]

I would def recommend the DA. Had a guy in our squad this past weekend with a ton of light strikes with a lightly sprung SAO SP-01. DA might have ignited most of those on a second strike

Accurate #7 is my favorite in 9 major.

[European HG champs]

Uhhhhhh no, he shot production and placed tenth.

[primers]

Yes they are totally fine. Same as regular CCI primers just without the nickel plating.

[Hello 38 SC shooters what recoil springs do you use]

7lb ISMI. Slide locks up softly

[Should I go as light as possible with recoil springs on 2011?]

No, the gun will be fine. Many of us run 7pd springs in our open guns.

 

The recoil springs function is to compress and return the slide into battery. The gun can still fire once without a recoil spring in it.

[Questions on ports for a 5” open gun]

3+ only benefits 38SC because of the increased capacity

 

9 major you don't want more than two, if any at all

[Questions on ports for a 5” open gun]

9 or 38?

[Framelink of Bul Armory SAS 2 Bullesteros in 9 mm major broke off ... AGAIN!]

The BSteros is poorly built. Cracked my slide at the breechface in less than 5k and they wanted money to repair under warranty.

 

 

[Limited Major dying?]

Consumers are speaking with their participation. Irons aren't popular much anymore. Nothing wrong with that, the game is evolving. 

 

I'm glad there's a separate Nats for Limited. I hope it stays that way so I can always go back to it after Open nats. 

[No match talk?]

IG videos have an the opinions you need on them lol

[Going from 38sc to 9mm]

Get a new slide for. Open gun market is already slim to none.

[New 2024 Northeast USPSA Major Matches?]

Although not new, there's Mid Atlantic Section and A8. As well as Delmarva section chip.

[Cost Effective Open Options?]

Just now, RedDotsOnly said:

Other than the CZ Checkmate, what are some good options that are more towards the budget side that people have had good luck with? Would like to eventually try something out but do not want to spend the 7k+ on the popular Atlas/Infinity/etc. builds. 

 

Thanks!

Brazos makes a semi custom line that's very good for the money.

 

I bought an open gun kit from him a couple years ago and it's still running strong. Only cost $2200 and got to put the parts i wanted on it.
