  1. The closest you will get to a 2011 style pcc mag is from MBX. they sell steel tube glock magazines that are amazing to use. They are not cheap but you will not beat up the mag catch notches like you do on the plastic based true glock mags. Definitely a "buy once, cry once" thing.
  2. I have owned 2 MPX's. if you do not do VERY regular maintenance on the gas system you will find yourself throwing the guns across the range because you just lost a match due to feed issues from the gas system not properly cycling the BCG. I can tell you from first hand experience that it is very frustrating to have that happen to you. IF you have the time and effort to keep up with the maintenance then the MPX is a great platform. I sold both of my MPX's and went and bought two JP GMR-15's, changed out the 5 stainless weights to 3 tungsten and 2 stainless and the guns shoot very flat and group way better than the MPX's ever did. People asked why I did not wait for the JP-5. I did not want to wait and only be able to afford one gun. I prefer to live by the mindset of 2 is 1 and 1 is none. I know the JP's are very reliable and are very forgiving maintenance wise but even with that, I prefer to have a complete back up. This allows me to shoot them both and they each behave identical and that also extends the maintenance cycle. I have owned a DB9R that I heavily modified and also a PSA PCC. sold them both to get the sigs. I wish I had bought the JP's earlier.
  3. the first pcc I ran was a DB9R. I put a MBX on it. best bang for your buck.
  4. any club names? Are these indoor or outdoor clubs. We are and always have been an indoor club.
  5. Marty is a OG member of the club I run. GPSL. He is a hoot. He also still runs the Peachtree Marathon each year. He is slowing down a bit but it always fun to be around.
  6. Title pretty much asks the question. I am wondering what are the oldest still operating USPSA clubs. The club I am president of will be celebrating 30 years in 2021. We are the very first USPSA / IPSC club in the State of Georgia. Our club number is GA01. We started in 1991. What other clubs are out there that have been around 25+ years?
  7. I did some more diagnosing. All the parts are moving correctly. I rechecked my swage depth and the Swage tool was not set deep enough. I adjusted that and ran 500 rounds without an incident.
  8. most of the primers that did not seat were damaged when attempting to seat. I did not check the head stamp of the ones that did not load properly. The ones pictured were loads that made it all the way through the loading process and were found when case gauging. The brass I load is mixed head stamps range brass.
  9. I get all my brass already deprimed, roll-sized, and wet tumbled. Decapping is really not an issue. The press is very securely mounted to the bench and the bench is anchored to the walls of the reloading area into the studs.
  10. While a trip to Dillon would be a fun adventure, living in Atlanta, and still having to work for a living, that is really not an option.
  11. Did a reload session yesterday and I had 17 primers / rounds not load properly out of a run of 400 primers. The primers were either crushed in the Primer slide on my s1050 or were seated oddly in the primer pocket. When the primers are crushed in the slide it leave primer paste in the slide and jams the press. I have to empty all the stations and pull the white primer guard to pull the damaged primer. I cleaned the primer shuttle and the channel it slides on in the press and after a few rounds it did the same thing. I checked the primer tube tip and it is fine. The lever that moves the shuttle appears to be fine especially since I got the majority of rounds loaded properly. any thoughts on what I need to look at to fix this? Primers are too expensive right now to have this level of failure to load properly
  12. I'll send the photo to dillon to see what they can help with. The bench is bolted to the wall. My 650 did not do this with the brass in the case feeder. Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk
  13. It's in the original post. 9mm small pistol plate Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk
  14. 9mm cases. Keeps doing this in the picture . How can I fix this? Tried calling dillon and they sent me the part for the round funnel (16617). I also have cases dropping upside down. Anyone have an explanation for this as well? Sent from my LM-G820 using Tapatalk
  15. Just to update everyone. I want to thank you all for your assistance. With some help from my friends on FB as well we determined that Dillon packed the wrong primer slide. I got a large primer slide packed in a small primer package. I called Dillon today and they issued an RMA and are shipping me the new one along with a mailer label to send the wrong one back to them. I hope to have the new part within a few days.
  16. the primer hole DEFINITELY does not let the primer sit on the "ledge". Guess I will be calling Dillon in the morning to have them ship me a new one. They had one job to do, just pack the right parts in the right bag marked small primer. SMH
  17. I ordered the small primer kit. The pin to seat the primers is the same diameter as the small primers and just fits inside the smaller opening of the slide. the slide for the large primer was black and this one is silver. not sure how else to check. How deep should the primers go in the hole in the slide? Should they be flush with the top of the slide? Maybe Dillon machined the hole to large? Unfortunately I just sold and shipped out the old parts to a guy in FL. so I do not have them to compare against.
  18. this is the primer slider. When I put a primer in the round hole and move it forward the primer is dropping out the bottom hole in the press when I move the slide towards the shell plate. Pretty sure that is not supposed to happen. this is the new slide that Dillon sent me.
  19. I have a s1050 that I recently bought from a fellow shooter. The press is about 10 years old and had been setup for 45acp. I converted everything over to small pistol and I have everything working fine except for the priming system. I load a tube of primers, and when I start to run the machine, for every one primer I get to actually feed properly 2 to 3 more drop out of the hole on the bottom of the primer system. I have sanded and polished the primer slide (20317) and the channel where that part moves. It moves freely without being bound. I have made sure that the part 11003 is behind the roller to allow the primer shuttle to move with the springs action. I feel like I have everything adjust properly but obviously I do not as the slide is moving too far back and allowing primers to drop in the oblong hole and drop out of the press. YES< I did change out the inner tube to the small primer tube and it is seated all the way down. It does not touch the slide and is about a primers height above the slide. should I order new springs to put this back in spec/ I am really lost as what to do to get the press up and running properly. any suggestions would be very welcomed.

  20. I find that I use my offset dot more than my laser. I too have the 206 and am seriously looking at selling it as I do not remember the last time I used it in a match.
