Things just changed for me, and I can't make it. If anyone here is on the waiting list email Linda and let her know.

Thanks, I'm still working on getting 10 round 40 mags that fit the box for minor. I have 5 that work, now I just need a 6th.
-
I have a "system" mag in 10mm made to fit the box but be long enough to work with SVI magwells. It says 10 rounds on it, and holds 10+1 but I don't think I would run it with 10 in a match. Its a cut down 10 rounder. I'm thinking if you order a system mag for 38 super its still going to fit the box and hold 11 easily since the regular ones already hold 10.
On a side note why would you want it to hold 11? 10+1 is all you get for minor in USPSA and IDPA esp anyway. I could see it if you could get the 10mm/40 mags to hold 10+1 for ESP in IDPA though.
Not to be picky, but I still don't get why people say a magazine holds 10+1 like that. The magazine holds 10. The gun holds 10+1. If a mag was really 10+1, it would be an 11 round mag
The system mag I tried for 10/40 wouldn't quite fit the box and I had to take a touch off the front portion of the basepad....but that'll vary based upon rear sight style and height.
Where can I find systems mags?
-
Man, I had to go check the safe to make sure mine was still there. That is just like mine. Very nice gun.
-
Same here. I've been happy, but it really is way more camera than I needed.
-
how can i get one
You can get them from Kenny here

Still not legal, right?
It's the 6in sight tracker barrel that hasn't shown the proper numbers yet to be limited legal, I believe?
Slides of 5 & 6 inches are legal...and whatever amount of milling on them is legal.
Correct, not legal YET is the key there. From my understanding it might not be long. I'm thinking this combo would be the best of both, extra sight radius and the weight of a light 5 in slide.
-
How about a 6 inch sight tracker barrel with a 5 inch lightened slide?
The picture shows a 5 inch version, but you get the idea.
-
One reason I would be interested in a 10mm barrel swap, as opposed to Howards's suggestion (which is of course valid), is to be able to use factory loaded ammunition for personal defense/duty use. Bout the hottest 40 stuff out there, still cant touch hot factory 10.
Same here Mike, 21 rounds of full power 10mm is one hell of a night stand gun.
-
Thanks, I had not even thought about the mainspring. Mike if it happened to be that barrel, I have a local guy to do that for me. I have some wild hogs calling my name right now.
-
Out of my STI Tactical, I have an unchambered barrel on the way then started wondering if the gun would handle this conversion and if there was any thing else I'd need to change other than the recoil spring.
-
But whatever you do, DONT DROP THE GUN in the porta-john.
I would not want to be the first RO you run into to have them clear the gun for you if you did:ph34r:

I'm using a Buckmark with a cmore right now.
-
I find that acquiring things that go BOOM is a far safer midlife crisis to have than say...nubile 18 year old co-eds and convertibles. I say this seriously, and have told my .40 carrying spouse as well. A fun roll in the hay with aforementioned co-ed/nymph is not worth a (well deserved) sucking chest wound. Congrats on the blaster
Now that is funny, but it's not a real crisis until you feel the need for a second one, then you need 2 open guns, then 2 single stacks and then two production guns and then 2 production guns of a different type just in case and then...........well you get the idea.
-
Hey, your slide racker is still on the wrong side though
since nobody ever has just one proto why don't you just send me one to test with a slide racker on the left side? 
-
Jack, I'm sure you will look good in Orange.
Um, nobody looks good in orange

The noles will need lot more than luck
It all depends on which Noles team shows up for the game.
Bring them both, it won't matter
I don't know, if Mississippi could do it anything is possible.

Also the mags that were dropping free with the old grip might not with the new one. I've had these happen several times.
-
Did I ever mention I hate Florida and any team Spurrier coaches more than getting a piece of 9mm brass mixed in with my 40 brass while I'm cranking out rounds on the 1050? Go Tigers and let there be some lucky bounces for my Noles today.
-
There is a guy that shoots in Wildwood FL that uses an XD I think. Someone made him a spring retention tray that fits on his belt and holds his mags. He drops the mag, then puts the gun over the mag that is standing straight up and then seats it. If he has a malfunction he uses the rear sight against his holster to rack the slide.
-
Good lord, really short is an understatement. Can you just move a slide racker from being on the left to being on the right? Or is it more involved?
-
Is this the one you might have seen?
Dirtypool40 had posted this gun a while back. I still love the look of this thing.
-
The .9mm open all the way.
Contact Jim Anglin @ jjanglin@msn.com
Sailors Custom Pistols- every one he builds
"RUNS" I shoot with many people who are
shooting Jim's guns- not just open .9mm but
limited also!
That is my advice also. Jaxshooter and I both have open guns from him, and they have run from day one with range pick-up brass. Don't use anything but SV mags also. If you go to the SV site and order them when you order your gun, then you should be fine.

Very nice Ray. I need to get with you about having mine blinged up like that. Jim should be about done with it. That slide stop is one Jim makes himself.
