This is what I'm worried about

Appreciate it!

Anyone with a direct milled slide (non optic ready Shadow 2 for example) for a SRO try to install a 507comp? I know they share the foot print, but overall dimension where it mounts to the slide ?

Awesome, thank you!

You're brave, I was spilling 9grn all over the place for 9major!

I just went the Everglades route from a DAA race master, world of difference better ! Just waiting for the thigh pad to come into stock. Steveac1, do you have a picture of your shrink tube job ?

For 9major, 124jhp 3n38, Aa7, Hs-6, Silhouette, and surprisingly SW autopistol For me, 3n38 is the cleanest, Hs-6 dirtiest Felt recoil pulse 1. 3n38, HS-6 (softie/best) 2. Aa7/SWMP (I had the bad "115" lot of major pistol) 3. Silhouette/Autopistol

Agreed, you really need to try them all unfortunately. I've tried 3n38, hs-6, Silhouette, aa7, SWMP, SW autopistol, still not settled on a powder For me I don't think 3n38 is all that it's cracked up to be, especially for the price. I think Hs6 has the softest recoil for me, but the dirtiest. (Dot gets gummed up quickly) SWMP and aa7 are a close 2nd, but like Chicago, I got the leftover "cornmeal" unburnt powder Sil and Autopistol aren't terrible, kinda like them, different. Cfe is horrible, lol But that's my opinion, could mean something completely different for everyone else. But I thought n350 was a faster powder, compared to sportpistol/cleanshot/titgroup, those wouldn't work your comp very well

Quoting; "CHA-LEE Posted November 14, 2018 File the bottom of the barrel feed ramp flat so its even with the frame when the barrel is in the "Down & Back" position sitting in the frame. Doing this will also minimize the chance of the bottom edge of the ramp gouging into the tip of the next bullet in the magazine. To me this is barrel fitting 101 that a competent gunsmith should already know and setup properly from the start." So I'm a victim of the mbx mag being dented by my barrel. Does anyone have a picture of a "fixed" barrel fitting as an example so i can compare (before I possibly ruin my barrel)? TIA

Good to know!

Would it be worth getting USED mbx mags coated ? Dlc or Nitrided?

2nd this !

Too bad I'm not a South paw

Just for my mental stability, I'm sending it off to get milled, just sucks my smith won't take care of it.

So I've contacted 2 buddies with opens, 1 has Centered mounts, and the other Left of bore mount. Both guys are really good shooters and Left guy never noticed his mount til I asked him. Is it worth milling the mount? At what distance would the accuracy really suffer (strictly for USPSA use). My smith doesnt/didn't mil the mount, and I know I'm definitely not the first or last to order from him, should I just leave it?

Is this what you are talking about? My mount is to the left of center, don't like it (brand new gun). My smith said that's how it is.

Check out Carne Custom.

I was using the MBF, but I needed something diff/better for my coated 9 minor stuff. I've read Lee FCD is not a good idea for coated. I trt process my brass first, I wonder if it's worth it running the FCD w/o crimp on the processing run??

I hope not as I did back the dillon die out. I could try my FW swage die (it's on my processing head) but I'll have to verify the NOE plug will work with sized brass. (As the dillon swage die would start a flare)

I know this has been covered before however I've searched for "NOE expander plugs" and found nothing. I'm concerned with my 9major load and some setback. I'm not getting crazy setback, but some in the high thousands. Mix range brass, rollsized PD 124 JHP 1.165-1.17" OAL Currently setup on my 1050; *Lee U-die *Dillon 1050 Swage Backup / Expander *NOE expander plug @.355" (also have a .356") *shooting innovations powder drop *MBF dropper *Redding Comp seat *Lee taper I found that when i backed the dillon swag out so that it supports the brass during swagging (but not expanding) it helps (low thousands). Also the powder drop I have backed out not to do a whole lot of expanding and basically trust the NOE to take the grunt work. So back to the question, am I running one too many "expanding" options ? For my coated 9 minor, I running everything "normal"; *Dillon swag die down *NOE .358" (running .357" projectiles for a shadow2) Thanks, Jason

Where are you with load testing? How goes it?

"Good Morning Jason, Hope you are doing well. Oh no, don’t be sorry. I was expecting a backlash from the lack of communication. I don’t suppose you tell your customers this but I feel that you are a sensible man and you would understand. We lost 2 key people at a time when we have massive orders coming in. Our senior and most trusted guy left for Houston to be with his family and the other got the virus and decided to stay at home indefinitely. We had to regroup and look for good workers - immediately. Took a while but we found our new team. Alex, our team captain, happens to be an essential worker as he is a Field Service Engineer for Abbott Laboratories (the man has a day job) he is in hospitals everyday so I ended up with the responsibility of being the new “tail twister.” As the orders continued to pour, I made a conscious decision of focusing on more production so I spent my time training the guys well and keeping a close eye on them instead of answering emails as I figured it would be a bigger problem if we did not have anything to give to customers. May be a bad decision for some but that is what happened. Now that my guys are independent and production is on point, I can do damage control. As you can see I am answering emails at 3:30am, which is insane, if you ask me. I want to thank you personally for listening and one again, I apologize for not communicating on time. Stay Safe. Best regards, Jivette Salazar" This was back in October 2020, ibejiheads completed my order (it did take awhile, covid crap), thou coms was a little lacking, id order from them again.

Hows your open gun doing ?

You can weld in the position of your choice. Or you can order a barrel/comp from Brekke in 3 different positions; 12:00,1100, 0100 o'clock

Did brekke stop making barrels?
