It ended up being a bad barrel. It lts actually being changed now and will be my backup gun. I have a different gun that I shoot now.

I may have a cheely mount for an SRO.
If you do and want to sell it. Please let me know.

I'm not really worried about how it sits over the top of the gun the offset wouldn't bother me. I just want to make sure that it fits in the milled part of the frame. I guess my pictures are too big to post

My gun is built on a Cheely wide body frame. It has been milled for the optic mount to sit in on the frame from the factory. I know that Cheely mounts fit perfect but Matt doesn't even know when he'll have any in stock and I need a rmr footprint mount for a SRO. Does anyone happen to know what brand mounts fit the wide body frames? I have an atlas 510c mount on there now and I had to remove a lot of material to fit it. Hope not to do that again.

Seems you have checked most things but I had the same problem early on and it was caused in the reloading process. If you have too much crimp it can cause this as the bullet is effectively reduced in size. Also slug the barrel to see exactly what bullet you need to shoot. I have heard 9 mm liking .355, .356 and even some at .357.
In my case the crimp thing was the problem.
I was told this at the range also. I have tried couple factory ammos as well as couple different friends loads. Always tumble... Guess it could still could be this though. I talk to my machine shop yesterday. I'm gonna ream comp to .375 first. Couple people on here recommend this so we measure my friend honcho and it was .375

Could you take the comp off and fire some rounds thru it to see what happens?
I was talking to buddy about doing this. If I get little extra time this week I'll try that as well. I'll run some factory ammo with comp then without it and see what happens.

If you are getting comp strikes something else is wrong. Either the comp reaming was not aligned properly, or there is a problem with the barrel.
If Binary's installation instructions were followed, and EGW alignment reamer was used. So there should be no problem with alignment. If the barrel was chucked in a lathe and reamed, it may be off. You can check that by using the EGW reamer.
If the threads are not full and there is a little wobble of the comp on the threads, it may go on cocked. Threads should be so full that some effort is required to screw on the comp and clock it. Also, the heat of rapid firing may have loosened the Loctite and the comp wobble on the barrel. That could cause strikes.
If both of the above check out ( I would doubt it ), it is the barrel. Have the crown and end of the barrel inspected and measured. You can't just look at it and say it looks okay.
EGW reamer was used to install and all the Binary instructions were followed. I had crown and barrel check but I don't know how he did it so I will follow up on that. I do notice that they don't start to tumble till after a few shots are fired. So wondering if its the heating up causing it.

We both shoot almost the same exact load he uses 8.3 I use 8.4 ws6 and 124gr PD hollow points.
If it was still comp strikes what would be fix?

How its been aliment reamed? Been checked multiple times and is new.

I have an open gun that was built by couple different people. It started life as a 38sc and is now a 9mm. I'm having a problem with tumbling bullets... Lots of tumbling bullets like 30 plus every match. The kkm barrel has 6,000 or less rounds through it. I've had the rifling and crown checked. Gunsmith said they both look like they're in excellent shape. I thought maybe it was the comp even though it checked out okay as well. So I bought a brand new Binary Eng CFD Titanium Compensator 3 Port and had it installed and had an aliment ream done. Same thing tumbling bullets. Gun shoots flawless never had a problem with function. Also runs flat and even when the bullets are tumbling they are doing so accurately. I'm just at a loss here and don't know what to do other than trying to change out the barrel again. Any info or things to try/check would be great.
Also I have tried friends ammo though it and it does the same thing.

I have never tried to sell in the classified section. I just stash all of my "stuff" labeled in plastic storage bins. Now that my kids are getting more into shooting, I have plenty of "stuff" for them to use. Except for the pretty blue shooting belt my daughter wanted. Black was too boring.
Man I wish I could get my son interested... He goes sometimes but has no desire to compete. If it's not a video game or book he just doesn't care.

Is there something that you have to do after your 50 post? I still don't have an option to post in classifieds.

This is number 50 for me.... Man that seem like a long time

STI gen2 bodies, TTI springs, followers and base pads.
All 21 reloadable and 100% reliable.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhat is the 3mm, 4mm, 7mm mean for them?
-
I may need to try that. I can get 21 in my mags but it makes it hard to seat mag. I'll some times do it for first mag and start with 22

Shoot with a metronome app on your phone. Live fire. (Or just force yourself to shoot a cadence at .25 manually)
7yds. 3 Targets. A yard apart.
bang bang bang bang bang bang
No exceptions for moving the gun between targets. Fire the second round at that pace anyway, even if it’s a miss. Make yourself snap the gun.
Learn to look away from the sights on round #2 and snap them to the new target. Then bring the gun to your eyes. In slow transitions the shooter is always swinging a full sight picture to the new location.
This is an awesome idea. I am gonna try this myself.

Dry fire the hell out of it. You will get used to the trigger. When I got my dvc limited I dry fired it every night for weeks. Gf got tired of hearing it.

What the point of 20 round mags if not gonna load them to max. Springs are cheap. I need as many bullets as I can hold. Also I bought my mags used with gram springs in them. I load them with 20 every match and I shoot 2-3 times a week. Never change them. Got them in September.

I gun kote and cerakote them. Don't know how post pics or I would.
-
I use STI mags with gram guts and dp base plates.

Welcome there is a lot of great info here. Enjoy

I have really bad arthritis in my hand, I keep my decently warm gloves on until it's my turn to shoot, then take them off for the 20 seconds and put them back on. I do the same thing with my jacket because I hate shooting in jackets.
That's what I did for gator. I have bad arthritis as well and it was freezing. That actually what made me think more about trying find some I like

We bought the reaming tool for comps and then we reamed both comps in house. Then when I had the machine work for slide done had them open just a little more. I don't remember exactly how much because it's been a few years but it wasn't much at all.
