Borrowed a friend's 590m for a shotgun only stage last weekend, finished 15th of 50 having never even held one before then and bumbling the reload wasting like 8 seconds. I'm sure a top shooter would outrun one, but they will definitely keep up with most. If they can ever make a 930 work with these mags it'll be game over, but as is fun as hell and very competitive even with a pump. I should note the reload was my fault not knowing where to rock it in from. Once I took a peek under and saw where it needed to go it went right in. Not exactly the smoothest, and yes I foot faulted at the end (was shooting 2 gun, this was for no score), but all things considered if you can run a pump you can do pretty well to me. https://photos.app.goo.gl/K5UWRqMrM7yGecR1A Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I'd start with something lower, 3.8gr of Prima V with 124 FMJs makes power factor for me. Going to SV and the jump with plated bullets I'm guessing would be way more than necessary, if not unsafe. Let me know how it goes though, interested in SV for 9mm 124s, it works great in .45 for making major, but wasn't sure if it was too fast for 9mm 124s. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

They aren't even listing pistol primers in their website anymore, wondering if they are phasing them out? Hopefully not, was a great option even when not on sale.

Picked 8208 to start off loading with, very pleased so far. Groups started to open up some past 3,000fps,but everything under did nicely, including this guy. Too light of a load for what I need, but not bad for 4 shots at 50 yards with an AR. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

That stinks, lowest I've seen and running low. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Thanks, pretty much spot on for what I'm looking for. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Just a regular hand drill, the bits that comes with are about like a drill bit. You can take off too much, but a quick zip works great and is easy. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Unfortunately the pictures aren't showing for me, but I think I know what you mean. Any reason you couldn't build up that part with JB Weld or something and file it down until it has enough travel to release the sear? Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Now that USPSA Production rules have been relaxed, are there any good aftermarket trigger options that reduce over travel for a 92? Have heard about speed bump triggers but don't know much about them. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Correct he needs to get the Apex pin for Federals, but what was noteworthy was the difference between large and small varieties. Not anything I had heard of, but very real. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

When I say reamer bit I mean the reamer in this guy. Chucks up easily. https://www.cabelas.com/product/Lyman-Case-Prep-Multi-Tool/1168182.uts?productVariantId=2891635&WT.tsrc=PPC&WT.mc_id=GoogleProductAds&WT.z_mc_id1=03155672&rid=20&ds_rl=1252079&gclid=CjwKCAiAz-7UBRBAEiwAVrz-9U-wXBnGSRxYHpHqDgYCPZ8wTPt8mVH3I5D7FvZwKFi_PCC6u2A2ARoCUBUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Chucked up a reamer bit in my drill and you can really plow through some cases doing that. Swager may be a little easier, but not sure about $100 easier. Then again, ask me again after 1,000 rounds Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I load .45 for a friend's 625 and oddly enough we noticed a significant increase in light strikes using small vs large primers. This was the case using both factory Federal, as well as me hand loading with Federal primers seating them deeply. I'd of never thought that would be a problem, but it's consistently going from 1 or 2% light strikes with LPP, to I'd guess around 15% with small. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

I actually already fitted the stock sear to the hammer, and while it is certainly much better it still has very marginal creep. I have a friend that installed both the hammer and sear and the pull on that gun is definitely better, so just wondering if anyone was seeing the same thing, or if it's just possible gun to gun variation.

That's exactly what I was thinking, thanks for verifying. And agreed on the beaver tail, would have to really work on that. The good news is the S120 is an aluminum frame, so would be an easy way to keep the weight down.

Been the case since like January if not before? Bought some a couple of months ago, good to hear it's still going on.

None of the 75 variants do, similar or identical barrel situation to a regular 75 so the challenge of finding a good comp would be the same.

Or......Canik open gun? Convinced my friend to put a Cajun hammer kit in and remove the fpb, trigger is better than the TSO I tried, and probably a tick better than the Czechmate. Not too shabby for a sub $400 gun. Got everything figured out except for the comp piece, but if someone were to be a guinea pig......

SNS .452, although on the caliper was measuring .4515. probably within the margin for error though. Accuracy was very good, certainly no worse than I can shoot on double action (625). That is RIGHT on the edge on power factor, although with no cylinder gap it might offset that.

Made the switch from bullseye to Prima V myself and couldn't be happier. Cleaner, smokes less, scary consistent velocities, and way cheaper. I got the old batch, but I use exactly the same charge weight as Bullseye. It's bulkier to so while you won't be double charging Bullseye in 9, if you use it in anything else Prima V definitely fill the case well. Since the powder is less sticky for me it also is way cleaner on the press even though it fills more. Other people are having good luck with sport pistol and I'm sure it's great, but I won't be switching anytime soon. I also recently worked up a 45 load with SV and is great as well in more of the clays range. Once I run out I'll have to evaluate, but the Prima family is exactly what I'm looking for right now.

I use it as a slide mounted sight, so if it takes that beating you should be good with it being on a frame mount. Also if it doesn't, I've heard Vortex's customer service is as good as any in the industry and will fix it if anything goes wrong. Haven't had to use it so I can't comment directly other than they are pretty well regarded. From what I've gathered if you break it, they'll replace it. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

That being said, stock SP01s can have reliability issues out of the box with how heavy the recoil spring is with regular factory ammo. It will wear in and function ok, or go with a lighter spring right away. Even after wearing in to where it works or if it works out of the box, the stock recoil spring can have pretty weak ejection with non-nato ammo, so not a bad idea to have a lighter one very early. The other upgrade I did very early was Cajuns short reset system. I wouldn't necessarily recommend installing the lifter until you are comfortable taking the gun apart, but the firing pin is a reliability upgrade and a lighter hammer spring is an easy improvement. You can get the kit without the lifter if you want to, although that is a must at some point. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

That isn't doing my bank account any favors..... Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Went with the 13lb in my SP01 before, but just recently changed to 11lb and really enjoy how it shoots. Brass definitely elects further, but seems to be within 10ft. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Haven't used Prima SV in 40, but just worked up a load for 45. Absolutely sold, seems to be wonderful stuff. Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
