Indy574

No one has any hands on experience with this optic?

Have tried Scotch yet. Bourbon however…1792, and Old Forester 1910.

I’m running 130gr coated with 3.2gr of e3.

Well said.

I couldn’t find anything about a recall?

Jagerwerks will, but there is a $20 up charge to install a SS plug in the slotted channel for proper screw engagement.

Anyone have experience with Alchemy Custom Weaponry? https://alchemy1911.com/ Also on the fence of a possible 2011 style. Maybe Staccato P, or Triarc?.

Looking for recommendations for a 1911 pistol smith. This would be a ground up build and not a refurbishment. I would like to find one reasonably close as I want to sit down and discuss this project. Let’s keep it within a 4 hour drive of North Central Indiana

What’s everyone using out there? Came across this one and wondered if anyone has experience with them? https://jtactical.com/products/81

Yeah, as soon as I hit sent I saw that thread.

Any thoughts on the Springfield Ronin?

I’ve had success at 1.220” in G30 and a G41.

Yeah the 225gr bullets solve the problem as well. I bought some from a guy but have no idea what brand or where they came from. Any recommendations on sourcing those?

Thanks. I’ll take away some material and see how it reacts.

This is what I did. I have G30 that would not shoot them for nothing. I extended the COAL and ran -1 in the mag or ran a G21 mag and no issues so far. Only 100 or so down range so not a true success story yet, but a move in the right direction.

I just purchased a 41 and was searching for sights and possibly a magwell. I thought this one maybe an option. https://slrrifleworks.com/gen-4-g20-40-21-41-magwell-adapter/

I just loaded some 38 special. Alliant e3...3.2 grains 130 grain LRNFP with Hi-tek coating Federal #100 primer 1.450” COAL Started with 3.0 grains and went to 4.0 grains. 3.2grains had the best grouping of the two pistols I shot them from.

Follow up: I just switched to loading some 38 special. I removed the RCBS sizing die and reinstalled the Dillon sizing die. I loaded 80 rounds with zero issues. The 357 brass is the issue as I wrote above, but I still feel the Dillon sizing die may have dimensional differences in different places. I know that sounds funny but every manufacturer has a design with dimensions and tolerances. It just so happens to be an issue with my situation.

It’s not a mag issue.

I have a 1987 Sig P226 with the mud rails. I installed new E2 grips on it but now the factory magazines won’t drop free. I have a new Mec-Gar that drops easily with no issues . If I remove the E2 grip then the factory mags drop easily. Any suggestions, obviously it’s binding somewhere but I haven’t found it. Figured I’d walk away and inquire here.

Much appreciated, as I’m getting ready to use some e3 for the first time.

I love Bullseye, but I am curious to try some e3. Thought about trying some WST but it’s limited to what I can use it for. How is e3 on multiple calibers? This is what reload....9mm, 45acp, 38sp, 357mag, 44mag.

I don’t disagree with you. They sent me a new die and the problem still exists. I sent both dies back to them along with a handful of brass. They said the carbide insert was slightly off. That means the new die they sent was the same...? (Poor QC?). All I know is my original die they corrected and sent back to me still has the same issue. I installed my RCBS sizing die...problem gone. Now in all fairness I think there is something else going on here that I haven’t quite figured out. I have a friend that has a Dillon 38/357 sizing die I am going to try. I’m also going to have him try mine on his press and see what happens. I’ve switched to 45acp right now and will revisit at some time.

Yes, the half moon cuts are gone.
