Thanks. By consistent do you mean OAL consistent? Do these bullets smoke as some other coated bullets do?

Need to order some more bullets. I like 165 grain and have loaded the NE Reloading Accu Coat & they seem to be a good product. Have never loaded any from Everglades so I'd appreciate any feedback from those that have. I'm only loading minor at 1.15. Thanks for any feedback you might have.

I've got an Emissary that was a 9 but is now a 40 (hope the 9 barrel will still work, we'll know down the road). I got a set of TechWell palm swell grips and their magwell (which should work with the stock grips). Really like it but it's not a carry gun (have a Tisas 45 for that). The Emissary is a Noval cut. I replaced my rear sight with an adjustable Kensight and the front with a Dawson fiber.

Round nose FMJs, which is all I have in either length. I’m hoping that once the barrel gets about 250 rounds thru it I can drop to a lighter spring but only time will tell if that happens. This gun is for steel challenge/IDPA local matches.

The gun not liking 1.12 factory ammo might be due to the too low recoil spring. Gun ran perfect this afternoon using a 14lb spring and some 170 pf 1.18 OAL 180 grain ammo. I'll try some 1.12 ammo again next time but I'd still like some 140ish ammo.

No problems. Only needed some tweaks to the extractor for the larger case.

Got a 14 lb recoil spring and the Tripp mags work perfect, even loaded to 10, which is part of the goal with this project. Sights return to almost perfect alignment. Yes new Schuemann Z barrel fit only with some tweaks to the extractor. Very minor fitting of the barrel was needed. Now if I can find some nice minor ammo.

Any suggestions as to who makes/carries this ammo? Recently had a 40 barrel fit to my Springfield single stack 9mm Emissary. I have determined that the gun does not like factory 1.12 OAL ammo (feed issues), does like 1.18 ammo but I'm also still experimenting with recoil spring rates. I do have the "special" Tripp mags. I only load 9mm and before I add 40 to the press I'd like to just use factory ammo & see how the 40 experiment progresses. Thanks for any advice/suggestions.

My set of Techwell grips arrived late yesterday. With these grips my Springfield Emissary is just under 45 oz. Have average size hands & I really like these grips but have not shot the gun with these yet.

I’m ordering a 2nd custom 22 from Chet. The frame has to come from Cheely to you then you send it to Chet. Ordered my frame this morning. Hope to have my pistol by end of February.

Best to call Chet in the afternoon.

The Alpha dot has the same footprint but is slightly longer in the front. I have two and really like them.

I recently purchased a Springfield Emissary in 9mm but they are made in 45 also. Probably have 1,000 rounds thru it. I changed the mag release to a Dawson, safety to an Atlas shielded, trigger to an X-line vario, and the front sight to a fiber optic Kensight. None of these changes were needed but what I wanted. Gun is now setup to my specs and is really nice in my opinion.

Yes my Emissary has the bushing slot.

Last Saturday in a SC match a squad member had an extractor break during a stage. Luckily he had a backup gun with him. No idea if/when he changes extractors (he will change it now) but I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. A match is a perfect time for a gremlin to decide to show up. What's the recommended round count for changing extractors?
