@arkadi@muncie21@IHAVEGAS@ltdmstr@Rnlinebacker@Silverscooby27 Thanks for the feedback...it is always good getting different perspectives. All my 2011 sights are the predominantly Front FO and Rear Plain Black...Was wondering to see if trying something different was worth it. My SV has an Aluminum Magwell, thought adding the Stainless Steel Magwell will help some with recoil. Plus it would last longer given the dry firing punishment practicing reloads. I do like the heavier pistols like my Atlases with Stainless Steel Magwells.

So 2 in 1... 2011 5" Limited - Understand personal preference for both of these, but want to hear the pros/cons 1) Rear Fiber Optic vs Black background - Easier sight / target acquisition & contrast? - Too busy/bright to the eyes? Distracting? 2) StainlessSteel vs Aluminum Magwell - Dry firing magazine punishment - stainless steel holds up better? - Overall weight difference helps some with recoil flatness? Dipping? Thanks for your comments and feedback on advance!

Interesting...

I have had good luck with both fixed and variable springs (Wolff). Atlas Nemesis: Factory RS 11F / MS 17 Tested several combos: RS Fixed: 10, 11, 12 RS Variable: 11, 12, 13 MS: 17, 19 Combos that performed well: 11F/17, 11V/17, 12V/17, 12V/19 For now I settled with 12V/17, but want to do more testing.

Shooters understanding their sight picture limits at different distances to see what is an acceptable shoot. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.luckygunner.com/lounge/flash-sight-picture/amp/

Transitions/sight picture... Recommendations from an Open Division GM. Simple. Have two metal plates. Doesn’t matter the size. No time limit. No draw. Present sights on one target. Break one shot. When shot breaks snap eyes to other target while gun is recoil transfer gun to the new plate where ur eyes are at. Break the shot. Now u have a black dot on each steel. Repeat this but aim at the black dot. Again no time limit. So if the sights do not align on the black dot don’t shoot. Drive the sights on the black and break the shot. So you are working on transitions and accuracy. Once you get that down, then increase the speed. But again you are going for hitting the black dot. This will do wonders. Do this 15-20 yards out and 5-7 yards side to side.

It saves you from that one bad mag reload... I have the Cheely Magwell on my other gun and the self-correcting works great.

My bud has two Atlas Limited fitted with the LIMCAT Magwell...they run great!

Atlas puts 11F/17 which does well, but I went with 12V/17 with shock buffer. There was a trigger pull (lbs) slight difference between 17 (1.75 lbs Trigger) vs 19 lbs (2 lbs Trigger) MS. The gun ran great on my last match. I still want to further test 11V/17, 11V/19, and 12V19 with and without the shock buffer. As able, I want to add some pictures and maybe videos. Once I start reloading, back to testing again...lol

So tested : Fixed: - 10/17, 11/17(builder recommended), 12/17 - 10/19, 11/19, 12/10 Variable: - 11/17, 12/17, 13/17 - 11/19, 12/19, 13/19 Limited testing...MS 17 and shock buffer return to zero group at 10 yards - 10 rounds total per recoil spring combination: -- 5 at a 2x2 circle in the ready semi fast -- 5 at the USPSA target as fast as possible from draw position) Best results; - Fixed: 10/17, 11/17 - Variable: 11/17, 12/17 (smallest group) I had limited time at the range. More testing to follow.

Folks thanks for the feedback. Leaning towards a PT Magwell (no fitting) or a LIMCAT Stainless Steel (fitting req'd).

Looking to upgrade the Magwell in a PT EVO Grip. What are the recommendations? LIMCAT / Akai / Dawson / PT / EMG Looking for a self correcting and minimum fitting Magwell.

Atlas Nemesis / Sight Block Owners, Current Nemesis recoil spring and mainspring 11/17 w/ shock buffer PF169-170. Tried a different combination PF 171-173: 10/17, 12/17, 10/19, 11/19, 12/19? ---------------------Added--------------------- I will be trying: Fixed: - 10/17, 11/17(builder recommended), 12/17 - 10/19, 11/19, 12/10 Variable: - 11/17, 12/17, 13/17 - 11/19, 12/10, 13/19

Cheely Guns just run...I have a 40 Limited, no issues and very accurate. My 40 Limited runs very good with 40 Long 1.185". Factory length ammo wasn't that great, but I am still in the process of breaking it in...

According to Matt, my Cheely Limited uses 12/17 and it has a pretty crisp trigger. Definitely would like to try a 11/19, 12/19 or 13/19 combo and experience the difference. Might try some variable recoil springs.

Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for the feedback.

@forty5cal1911 very helpful, thanks for the feedback.

Correct there is a Wilson Combat SHOK-BUFF on the Nemesis and on the other Atlas I have owned.

I have a PT EVO and a Cheely E2 Aggressive. They both are good, but prefer the Cheely...better fit for my hands. How does the Cheely E2 Aggressive Grip compares to the LSI Outlaw grip? - Grip Size - Grip Aggressiveness - What Magwells fit LSI

Thanks for the feedback!

@Postal Bob Tracking...Adam's answer: - Recoil Spring: 11 lbs non-variable - Mainspring: 17 lbs - Recommended PF: 169-170 NC Shooter's 200 gr 40 Long run PF 173 plus on my Nemesis. . I am happy with the feedback. When I start reloading, i would be able to load for PF 169-170.

Thanks...Dawson recommends 13 lbs. I tried 10 lbs and 12 lbs springs. - 200 gr PF 173: Both springs ran good, 12 lbs was better. - 180 gr PF 171: 12 lbs spring was better. Might get a 13 lbs to try...

2011 Atlas Nemesis Limited 40 Cal Major - NC Shooters 200 gr PF 173 - Precision Delta 180 gr PF 171 Note: Until I start reloading, then will try to stay PF 169-170.

Couldn't find the old thread. What recoil and mainspring you guys use and recommend? - Brand: Wolff, SVI, ISMI - Lbs -- Recoil: 11 lbs -- Mainspring: 17 / 19 / 21 lbs How often do you change them? How you tell is time to change them? Gun: - Atlas Gunworks 2011 Nemesis 40 Cal Major Limited (Main one trying to replace springs) - Cheely 2011 40 Cal Major Limited Ammo: - NC Shooters 200 gr PF 173 - Precision Delta 180 gr PF 171 Note: Until I start reloading, then will try to stay PF 169-170.

Quick question for the group...I have relative large hands. I own a PT EVO and a Cheely E2 Aggressive. With practice I have gotten used to and appreciate the PT EVO, but the Cheely E2 Aggressive I feel is a more natural feel to my grip getting higher on the gun. How does the LSI Outlaw Grip compare to both of these? Which one the LSI is more similar too if any?
