Looks for Target

Looks for Target (4/11)

  1. I use the thumb rest [generic] *thumb rest [generic]*. I'm relativity inexperienced, and haven't used anything else, but I really like it. Ah... It looks like the one I use, can't be called by name. But it's where you put your right foot in your car(in the US)
  2. Depending on the gun, but I'd start with springs, extractor and firing pin. Maybe an ejector on a 1911 style
  3. the one time I had hammer follow was when I put the sear spring in incorrectly, so I would start there with making sure all the legs are where they're supposed to be, which I remember being a little tricky
  4. I love my 9x25 open gun. It’s not totally done yet(inability to find primers kinda killed me) buy it is a HOOT! with the lowered power factor for major, it really tames things down, so I suspect frames would last longer then sending 90 grain bullets close to 2k fps. Really all I need is a rocker installed, maybe some slide cuts, and to figure out the occasional failure to go fully into battery I get. Still, it’s a literal blast to shoot
  5. How does going down in spring weight defeat the comp? The way I see it, it allows the comp to do most the work in slowing down the slide, and all the spring does is pick up the next round and close the slide. It is fun to watch the gun stop functioning as you turn up the load.
  6. Well, I'm limited to only one, but I'd put the 10mm barrel in it, which would probably kill my rts2. I have kind of always wanted to do that, but am worried about the optic
  7. Vihtavouri 3n38 and Winchester autocomp have worked for me. But I haven't been able to get ANYTHING locally
  8. Yeah no, that is not going to happen with that powder. Using quickloads (more just for kicks and giggles to see HOW unsafe it would be) at major velocity you'll be between 2 and 3x saami maximin pressure for 9mm +p, and that's not counting for the velocity loss from the holes, you'll likely end up near 100k psi. Titegroup is FAR FAR too fast. If you want to make major with 9, you need a SLOW powder to not end up with a gun in pieces
  9. Yep. It also kind of depends on the gun/cartridge. I shoot a 9x25 Dillon for fun in an open gun, and she's LOUD. I'm glad I don't have to make the power factor they used to in the late 80's with them. I've heard stories of even ro's needing to double up on ear pro. Hell, I shot once in an outdoor range that was covered, and i really do not want to do that again, and it has made me never want to shoot the thing at an indoor range. I feel like at that point it won't be the noise that's the issue, but the massive concussion
  10. I ran about that exact same load (maybe a tenth different) in my vp9, and I believe my oal was 1.075, maybe 080. As for changing the load, if you were to compete with it, you'd want your load to be as close as you can to major, with a small buffer. But if you don't plan on competing, I'd say just find a load that works, and let her eat
  11. I hope that means I'll finally get the firing pin stop I ordered like 8 months ago. I've emailed them so many times, they've all been ignored. I think if I did get it, if just chuck it in the trash now.
  12. I don't think it's dumb. But my open gun is 9x25 Dillon. Which was only used for like 2 years, 30 some odd years ago, then died. Sure, it's loud, it's odd,etc. But I don't care. I just tell ro's that they should probably double up on ear pro. Run what you got.
  13. I believe cha-lee(Charlie perez) did one in an atlas Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
  14. Do they actually SELL at that price, or is it just listed? Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
  15. I don't know what your talking about. Last primers I saw were large rifle magnum match. Little much for a dab of autocomp. Great for 100 gains rl33 tho. I bought the last brick. I haven't seen any of anything. The federals SHOULD be fine. It's what I used. Give them a test. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
