  1. I have been running Gen 2 STI mags. Dawson has been the best pricing I can find now. TTI base places and Grams springs and followers.

    If you wait for a TTI sale, you can get the whole set up for about $105 each. Slightly cheaper than MBX and I can get 20 reloadable.

    I ground a little spot down and was able to peel it up with a pick. it is a MAJOR pain, but totally worth it. I shoot a good bit of matches and dryfire almost every night. so about 9-10 months is all I get out of silicone carbide. its still grippy when I pull it off but nothing like when its fresh.

    What adhesive are you using to hold it on that peels back? Is it tape, or the epoxy and powder that you sprinkle on? Didn't realize this was removable and am now interested since I can redo it if I screw up!

    Do you mind sharing your load and PF on the hand loads that helped the reliability of your MPX PCC?

    124 Grain Precision Delta JHP or RMR 124 FMJ

    Seated 1.13 

    AA # 5 6.0 grains or

    W231 4.4 grains

    Both of these seem to be working well and are pretty soft shooting.

    I found some Autocomp loads that were pretty nice shooting, but didn't shoot enough of them to say for sure they are reliable.

    I tried some N320 loads, but couldn't get that powder to work reliably. 

    The only issue I was having is failure to feed. The round would go vertical in the chamber trying to load. 

    Happened with all bullet profiles and lengths if they were light, fast powder loads. Running the gun wet also seems to help with this.

    Highly recommend that you check out the BUL armory 1911s and 2011s.  They make an awesome 2011 for EDC which I never would have expected.

    I have several 2011s, but will take a look at their 1911. Would you say they are close to Springfield or nighthawk in build quality?

  5. For my 45th birthday next year, I plan to get myself a nice full size .45. 

    I know that I want some things, checkered front strap, mag well etc.

    I am undecided on half rail or no rail.

    For sure want a full size 5" steel gun. 

    I am considering things like the Springfield TRP, Dan Wesson discretion and maybe even a Nighthawk if I can find a good enough deal. 

    I have plenty of time to work it out and want to get something that shoots great and is a pleasure to own. Trying to keep it under $3,000. 

    What do I need to watch out for that would prevent me from using this gun in single stack? I normally play in limited, but might want to try a single stack match some time.

    That's what I'm trying. Do you have the grooves in the receiver races, too?

    Mine doesn't have any receiver damage. Just have that round go vertical into the chamber. Going to try some different profile bullets this week, but not holding out much hope.
