As long as it cycles, why wouldn't you be able to use it?

I was just curious if there was a problem with coated bullets and a Polygonal barrel.

Can you use Federal Syntech ammo through a polygonal Limited Custom barrel? Just bought my first Tanfoglio using it for Limited Division and wanted to try the Syntech ammo.

Well I installed the Dawson Posi Lock mag release and it fixed the over insertion issue but now the mags won’t drop free and instead of the mag release being flush on the right side now it’s sunken in with the Dawson. Kind of lost on what to do now besides just take it to a gunsmith.
-
Well I ordered the HC version. I couldn’t get over the Blue color.

I had the same over insertion problem with my Rock Island and STI gen 1 magazines. To correct it I got the dawson posi-lock mag release for STI, which fit in my Rock Island. Also did you get MBX STI or MBX Para magazines? The OEM STI mags fit and work perfect for my frame, same as the Pro Match, which was designed to be able to use the STI magazines.
I have the MBX Para Mag, I will try the posi lock and see what happens. Thanks

Pretty sure they’re offered in black too
They have Black in the Limited Custom Extreme which is out of my price range at the moment. The Limited is HC and the Limited Custom is Blue.
-
Going to pick up a Limited or Limited Custom(Blue) is there any difference between the two besides the slide cuts and the finish? I love the slide cuts but hate the blue finish on the Custom.
-
And I don’t think they understand is if Iam doing reload drills the feed lips are going to be banging the ejector everytime. I didn’t have this issue with my STI Edge and STI mags there is definitely something not right here.

Most 2011 style guns have the slide stop deactivated for one reason or another.
Your RI falls in this category. Mags are inserted with the slide closed mostly to prevent
over insertion . So when your MBX magazine is inserted with the slide closed does your
issue go away?
With a empty mag it rattles around in the gun, when loaded it doesn’t rattle around but still can be pushed upwards and the rounds nose dive most of the time.
-
The RI mag catch is not designed to stop the mag same as 99% of all 2011 guns Dawson made a positive mag catch for STI plastic grip but not sure if any available for RI that would be your answer if you feel you need a positive catch
When mag is loaded and slide forward the mag should inset with enough over travel to allow catch to go in and then the bullets with spring pressure keep the mag low enough normally while reloading and seat the mag on the top of the catch .This is the email i just got from MBX what do you think?

Thanks guys I will call them on Monday.

So I just got my MBX .40 (P) 140 mm mag in today for my Rock Island Pro Match .40 and alittle disappointed and need help. The gun has been 100% reliable with factory mags and factory ammo, Winchester White Box, Remington UMC ect. The MBX mag over inserts where the feed lip goes up and covers half of the ejector when pushed upwards. When the mag is empty in the gun you can move the mag all around and when shaking the gun it sounds like a kids toy. Also the rounds nose dive 70% of the time. Any help would be appreciated.

I love my Colt Competition.45. It has been
% reliable with all type of mags and ammo so far and very accurate.

He's right, I lost my @$$ on a RIA double stack that no one would even make a fair offer on. In the end it went to my preferred LGS for future credit on something else.
Iam not going to sell it I keep guns for my collection even if I don’t use them. But I know what you guys mean it’s not ideal but I want to modify it even if it’s just a trigger job and that it does need.

Why not get a used STI Edge?
Because Iam going to play with this for awhile then get a custom built.

Can anyone recommend a smith or smiths that will do some work on my Pro Match? The few smiths I talked to only work on there guns at the moment.

I had Atlas do the trigger job and all the components on my Para and my Sti They do great work and both guns have been running like a million dollars
I talked to Adam about a trigger job on my Colt Competition and he didn’t want to do it so I had another Smith do it. I will call him again and see if he will be willing to work on my RI

Pretty solid gun especially for the money. Sure it could use some refinements and personal touches but it'll do the job.

I’ve never owned a Rock Island so hopefully your right, as long as it’s reliable and pretty accurate I will be happy.

When It comes to the Rock Island 2011 type gun does the regular 2011 parts fit like safeties, extractors, sights, triggers and mag releases or are there specific Rock Island parts?

Post some pictures when it’s done
I sure will. Any suggestions on who I should do the work?
-
Thanks for the advice. I did have plans on doing a trigger job, replacing all the parts you guys mentioned, tri topping and slide lightening with some MBX mags.
-
Well I ordered the RIA Pro Match since a local shop was able to get one at a decent price so I will see what it’s all about when it comes in.
-
Looking to get a cheap Limited gun for the time being should I get the RIA Pro Match Ultra HC or Para Pro Custom? I know there no STI but just want something to play with right now in Limited, coming from Single Stack and tired of all the reloads lol. Thanks

I don't have to watch the video to know that you should choose the DW between those two.
Could you explain why.
Federal Syntech .40 and Limited Custom?
in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
