I carry an STI VIP in .40. I shoot it maybe once a month. I have had it 13 years. I have not had any malfunctions with it. The mag springs keep shoving those rounds up to fire.

That is fine if you just plan on shooting in NY. If you plan on shooting any matches around the country in open, you will be at a disadvantage. Just something else to muddy the water, lol

Sorry Guy. She and the redhead from Idaho were always a classy team.

Life can be a fleeting endeavor. What a strange way to have your life taken, doing something I am sure he loved doing.

I am really sorry to hear this.

I use a 95 gr zero for my steel loads. 2011 shorty, with a 2 port comp. I use 4.7 gr. of Universal clays. really nice. It runs about 1250 fps and shoots like a 22.

Chuck, that is a good looking 9mm...

I have a dedicated steel gun that is a commander length slide that has the bejesus cut out of it. I shoot 4.7 grains of universal clays under a 95 grain zero bullet.. It seems the dot just quivers a little. The bullet chronos at 1250 fps and it is super flat and soft. when I shoot the same load out of a 9mm limited gun, it feels a lot more snappy; I am pretty sure the comp is working.

If it is hard chromed, you also could have galling issues.

If I didn't load it, I wouldn't shoot it. unless you got it from someone you know that has good reloading skills.

I have used te cheap novak 45 mags in mine, never had an issue in 5 years wit my STI trojan...

Chuck, we have been over this before.....1050, end of story....lol

I have used both HS6 and Autocomp. They both work well with the MG 121 ifp that I use. You have to clean your gun with both. Autocomp is cheaper to buy, and you use less.At 7 grains of WAC I chrono at 171 pretty much wherever I go.

If your barrel is not hitting the frame and the link or the slide stop pin is taking the beating and breaking, your barrel is not fit properly. If your gun is properly timed, you should be able to push the barrel or comp against something and be able to move your pin with ease, even remove it from the gun.

I also have shot boatloads of WCC. Your 1050 wont even know it is crimped.It will be good to go after that.

At what distance are you bore sighting. Also. bore sighting is just to get you on paper. You should sight your gun in at 25 yards or better yet 50 yards. If you sight in at 7 or 10 yards like some people do, you will find your point of impact is much higher at distance. Parallax will get you.

Chuck, retirement is the second best thing that ever happened to me....

I used to have 2 popple holes in my cone comped 9 mm gun. Super loud and it will jack up your c-more in a hurry with a 90 degree mount. No blast shield. I would try to find a load that you like better with 121's or 115's like Hiro told you. The same load went from 170 power factor to 182 with changing barrel to one with no holes also.

First off, Where in CO are you? There are several clubs around CO Springs,Several around Denver,. More on the western slope. PM me and I will give you some info.

It is on Chuck!!! See you in a couple of days.
