Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. I will give you another option response directly to you post. If you happen across one, the Para Pro Custom 40 fits your bill. I got 2 several years ago. Then they were about 1.100. The platform is there. Then springs, polishing, extended mag release, and MBX mags are all you need.
  2. I have the same gun in 9mm, and 4 new mbx mags all lengths. They insert and drop freely. Actually they have a slight amount of rattle in the grip, which I think is good. Different item, but I was getting a decent scratch by the mag catch on the tube upon insertion. The bottom of the catch had a sharp edge so I filed it a tiny bit.
  3. I don’t know if the springs will interchange. Sorry. But I would bet that is not your issue. With my GT tuning completed, it will run factory or major ammo with 8 to 10 lb springs with no issue. Tuning equals Chamber ream, stroking, extractor, ejector, and well tuned mags solved my fte and ftf. Recoil spring tuning is mainly for feel in my case.
  4. So I put the stock 45 hammer spring back in with the 22 conversion. I think that spring must be about a 24lb. Shot a few mags of the various ammo, cheap bulk, up to mini mag. Everything went bang, no light strikes. I was worried that the hammer might slow the cycle but everything fed. So, confirmed those that said the hammer spring is the answer, at least on mine.
  5. Thank you guys for the info. I have a 45/22 conversion that I finally have time to run the 22. Everything is smoothed and polished and I am still getting the same light strike results as above, with the 14-15 lb hammer spring that I had in for the 45. So, I will try the heaviest spring I have. If that isn't 100% I will try the fp mods as above to increase momentum.
  6. Working staff at matches with super squads, I have seen them working hard to keep their ammo warm throughout the match.
  7. MBX has new mags available. I am using them with my .325 stroked Gold Team and they work. 1.165 oal jhp. They are not consistent when using my old ammo at 1.135 Oal. Pretty soon none of this will matter if we don’t get some primers.
  8. MBX Extreme here in the states has them now! 3 different lengths. I do not know if he will ship to you. Email from the website to find out. The Caspian / Tanfo mags are the same. Let me say, the MBX ones fit both.
  9. Fwiw I did some testing with 141 155 and 171 gen 2s before they went up on the web site. Using my stroked gold team, multiple bullet hp profiles at 1.165 oal ran 100%. When I put multiple brass buffers in to “de-stroke” the gun, and ran 1.135 oal ammo (like I had to with stock mags) I got nose dives. I am so happy to get away from those k9s and load a length that will hold a gassy powder. Thanks MBX!
  10. What polymer said. And, load the new mags up full and let them set for a few days.
  11. Good discussion. Thanks. I have never tried it, but will soon. But, I can't see anyway.
  12. I put a IPSC Alex mount on my Gold Team. Vortex Razor/RTS2/etc fit. Nice set back, low to slide, and very light. Be aware ejection pattern must be low, and clearance so slide does not rub during cycle.
  13. Canbuster I would try your idea of brass shock buffer. I got some and they reduce the stroke about .105 (because you also add the thickness of the shoulder on the guide rod). Shoot a few rounds then pull the slide and look at the buffer. You can see where it is striking the frame/tunnel and file/relieve if necessary. I bet that will insure cycle and prevent possible damage somewhere.
  14. I saw another thread you may be sporting a new Domina. Get a good gassy load up to 170+ pf and that gun may shoot flatter than minor.
  15. Wow. That slide is stroked. Really I don’t have that model, only a old small frame 9mm and a Gold Team 9mm. My GT slide is stroked .350 and it does NOT go back that far.
