    Exactly.

    Locktite. I run +p+ and never had an issue once I locktite the rear sight.

    Your 1099 is in the mail, John. Lol.

    Thank you for your past or present service to this great country.

    Check your firing pin for drag marks. Or send back to Joe... He has a bore scope.
  6. SoCalShooter69
    Lol

    It's still a little out of focus, so don't take this for gospel - that forward most slide lug looks slightly funky. Possibly also have a weird looking spot on the rear most lug of the barrel. If the barrel wasn't fit right from the factory, in the 45 minutes they get to assemble the whole gun, it may sit just enough out of lock up. Could also be why your pencil gets launched, since it sits directly in the barrel over the breach face. @kneelingatlas may be able to chime in. He has a lot more experience with fitting barrels, and can prob give you a better assessment. I could very easily be wrong.

    This forum has a search feature???

    Very clear images of what I've circled.

    You already answered your own question - local identical guns have no issue. With a full tune and ream, you should not be experiencing any of these issues. I suggest you put the gun back to 100% factory comfiguration, sans the reamed barrel and try running it. You have a gun problem, not a Patriot Defense parts/tune problem. I'm going to be honest with you, in that you're experiencing an outlier condition. Which makes me think you have a Tanfo QC issue or you're messing with the gun after its being sent back to you. The only inquiries we get these days, are how to increase DA, and how to fit a 2nd gen trigger bar. Can you post a picture of your lugs and the lock section of the slide.
  11. SoCalShooter69
    So Win factory fired on first DA, and your buddy's garbage reloads didn't? Look how high his primers are. The strikes aren't light - the firing pin is pushing the primer deeper. Look at the strikes on the Win factory - those are solid. To recap, so I'm clear - Win factory OK, reloads no?
  12. SoCalShooter69
    I'll say this as a side note - there's no way that gun left headquarters not being able to fire factory 100% Did you swap or change anything when you got it?
  13. SoCalShooter69
    22" os more than sufficient power. How do the lugs look? My guess would be a lock up issue while you have a round in the chamber, or some sort of barrel issue, as in from the factory, not PD.
  14. SoCalShooter69
    Just to be clear - your pencil gets launched multiple feet in the air, yet you are still getting light strikes? A 15.5# should light factory ammo off with a full tune. You have another issue, my friend...
  15. SoCalShooter69
    What's the issue?
  16. SoCalShooter69
    I never, ever... ever recommend S2X... but if you absolutely, positivey can't find a base model... get the S2X.
  17. SoCalShooter69
    I tried 165s... garbage. Longest o tested was at 1.165.
  18. SoCalShooter69
    Titegroup is cheap because it's a double base powder. Hence the reason it's dirty as sh*t. The double base refers to the additive of Nitro. That's another reason why it runs hot. Yes, TG serves its purpose for uspsa, but it's really a garbage powder.
  19. SoCalShooter69
    My guess would be more velocity with a heavier bullet. Well, at least that's why I would go slower powder.

    Here's my welded mags vs MBX. The runs are critical, or at least some form of indentations to keep everything on the right plane and enough support that there are no nose dives with decent springs and followers. Here's my suggestion for anyone that can't get factory 170s - buy two 38s mags have them cut and welded. That's what my above mags are. Bevin will do it, or if you have a friend that can weld decent, you'll be good to go.
  21. SoCalShooter69
    Couple things - I don't know anyone that hasn't had to tune an open mag, that wasn't already tuned from the builder. The stock tanfo big sticks work well because they are just extensions of the stock mag, on a platform based or the production gun, ie. Stock 2 for the GT. So the 2011 argument is irrelevant. The MBX tanfo mags were made for CASPIAN frames. It just so happened they worked in tanfos. I did a lot of testing with the MBX in both 140 and 170. No issues once they were tuned. The simple task of either tuningnyour feed lips or usimg wooden dowels to create more support is all you need. Like I said, I don't know any open shooters that HAVEN'T had to tune a mag at some point.
  22. SoCalShooter69
    Ha! He didn't name, names, so you're good. Did you try using two wooden dowels and throwing the mags in a vice? Thats honestly the only downfall of the MBX design.
  23. SoCalShooter69
    Just got your message. I'll email you the chrono data w 9 vs 9.5 vs 320 out of a tanfo and cz...

    JHP accuracy has to do with flight and maintaining stability. Also, OAL isn't "that" big off a factor in accuracy w regular handguns and associated uspsa distances.
  25. SoCalShooter69
    Excellent post. High velocity, 124 rn, .356 coated Acme has given me the best along w PD JHP. Single digit spread and deviation.
