Thank you. I normally use Lucas gun oil or Mobil 1 synthetic

Has anyone tried to shave the rear contours into the older style pt to be more like the new style? In the top where your webbing wraps around. After shooting an evo for so long and going to my backups pt OG it’s brutal on my hand.

less popples, better comp ( or same comp with less popples) lighterbullet with more powder, heavier slide
Yeah problem is the guns built. Rather work with what there is not rebuild

There are a lot of things to dampen slide velocity other than powder.
Could you elaborate?

Following. Good s#!t here.

So I just shot Utah state. Had a bunch of issues. Maybe mag related. Maybe Ammo. Assuming Ammo because I switched from the major hot s#!t with 3n38 and aa7 and used cfe ( way more violent) but it ran. Needless to say, i hate 9major and can’t wait for my 38 sc back.

I have not used either you asked about
I do have a razor hd ii 1-6 (not e) and a trijicon 1-8 accupower. I am still torn between em.
While i love the 1-8 on the accupower. It’s just not the same as the vortex. When you pull that up to your eye. You see everything. So clear and open. The bezel disappears. I don’t have the JM reticle, and I don’t regret not getting it.
The accupower is great too. The 1-8 can come in handy over the 1-6. The reticle is a lil busier.
They both weigh the same pretty much. Which i don’t have an issue with. Because I can carry my rifle for the >1 min of a 3 gun stage
but I have heard great things about the 2 you asked about. I had the Khales 4-16 and it was f*#kinfantassstic. If that helps haha

I tried hs6 in my 9 major. I didn’t notice too much difference in cfe
-
Been looking for something to help with grip strength. Tried some other stuff and didn’t have much luck. Thanks for advice!
-
Boom boom. Just got confirmation she ships back Monday. Gonna snag some 115 gn bullets when I get home from Utah state and develop a load with some aa7
-
Sound like Utah state for me this year, mike per stage and malf per stage. New gun new Ammo. Needless to say. Won’t be using them again haha
-
Ok. Thanks mang
-
Ah well s#!t. I have my oal at 1.178 that plunks and hand cycles in my gun. Starting with vv 3n38. Now I don’t know how i feel about doing it and may just stick to cfe or factory 9 mm and shoot minor

Aa7 is the bomb in 9 major. An makes major with 115 easy with full size open gun.
nice i am gonna load up 10 of eiach weight starting at 8gn of 3n38-8.7
out of a 4.15" bareel with T1 comp, no popples, where should i start with AA7 would you think, i am on 124 JHP also, no 115 right now
-
lots of good stuff here, i am working on a load for my steelmaster in major using CFE, 3N38 and maybe AA7. 124GN
-
8.0 made 171 out of my steelmaster on a 124 berry RN at 1.16
8.2 made 174 same gun and bullet/oal
-
whats up people. Just wanted to post my findings with my sti steelmaster loaded to 9 mm major using CFE Pistol
i switched the factory spring to a 9LB, no other changes were made. the gun has a PT older grip and SVi trigger bow. I tried a 10 and liked the 9 a lil better, not that noticeable
124GN RMR JHP WSRP 1.150OAL CFE Pistol
6.7GN- 163PF
6.9GN- 169PF
7.1GN- 171PF
7.3GN- 172PF
also tried a buddies ammo that loaded hs6 on a 124 gn berrys rn bullet. made 171 and didnt feel too different than CFE
7.1 was pretty nice feeling and i think it gives me a decent cushion for majors. I am not quite convinced that i like it more than minor tho haha. i want to try some 115 GN bullets but dont have time to get em and make a load and test since i am leaving for Utah tomorrow.
I have AA7 and 3N38 but i am skeptical about loading them, especially 3n38, because it fills the case so much, and this gun is made for Minor loads.
I am gonna load up 500 or so of the 7.1 CFE and shoot a local match just to see how i do under the clock and what not. if i shoot like ass then i am gonna just shoot utah state in minor and hope my hits arent as s#!tty as they normally are. If anyone has any feedback on the 3n38 or aa7 for this gun in major let me know cuz i would be down to try it if someone else has already haha. thanks and hope this helps someone in the same boat

Just wanted to chime in and say that this setup looks really unique and cool
Thanks brother appreciate that. I am really excited to get to shooting it. Fingers crossed for nationals!!
-
So 9.6 of 3n38 made 174 and was pleasant.
Aa7 @ 10.0 made 165.
Unfortunately I had feeding issues due to the barrel being to tight up by the comp. sent it back to get worked on.
Excited to develop this more. Thank you everyone for the advice. I normally find a load that makes pf and go with it. Finding the money spot is more fun and I’m sure will pay off in long run. Unless I use vv haha.

STI told me about a year and half ago to "go ahead the gun can handle it, with a 9 or 10 lbs recoil spring it"
I ran mine at major all last year with a 9lbs spring, which kept the dot flat with my load.
what was your load?

It might have served you better to do a smaller ladder with your loads. Say, start at 8.6 with the AA7, then to 8.8, 9.0, 9.2, 9.4, etc. Check for overpressure on those higher charged rounds.
I was trying to but it was so finnicky on the powder that I just did what came out. This is more to find what even makes pf. I will test come home load more lil ladder from pf and up and see what I get. Thanks grumpy
-
OK, so i loaded up a bunch of test samples. ill chrono thr first 5. see which gets me PF. then see how they feel each as far as dot movement and feel. etc. i will aslso try and get video loads i worked
124 gn RMR JHP / WIN SRP / OAL 1.225 / AA7 Powder- 8.7, 9.0, 9.4, 9.7, 10GN
124 gn RMR JHP / WIN SRP / OAL 1.235 / VV 3n38 - 9.6, 9.8, 10, 10.2
1.243-48 / VV3n38- 10.2
I am probably going to go early to test, and am definitly gonna also roll a 9.3 gn of the VV 3n38 at 1.235
thanks again for everyones support. i will keep you all updated
