I love this blogging thing.... I get to read about every question I have all in one forum.
Since this string has already been established, I also have some questions in this area. I have been looking (and drooling) over the Glock Major Open Class 17's on the S&J Customs site. Yes, I have already figured out that John's picture on the site is the exact same picture for Mad Scientist, and they are the same. So, here's my question on the Open guns...
Is 9mm Major a super hot 9x19 round? If so, just how safe is it? Does it have a higher chamber pressure than a +p 9mm Luger? Does it regularly have primer failures (even using rifle primers)? How does using rifle primers effect what trigger work can be done (i.e. light strikes)? How much more does a KKM chamber support the brass compaired to other brands, does it fully support? If not, how touchy are reloads to not 6o'glock your gun, but still make major?
Based on all of the above concerns, wouldn't it just be easier and safer to make a Glock in .40 for open and sacrifice a couple of rounds? Yes, I know this is blasphomy.... actually have to reload a couple of rounds sooner, LOL, but I haven't found an Open Glock in .40 anywhere.
Lastly, John, If you read this, I would love pictures of your limited glock on your site.
I'll save my questions about the Sotelo trigger vs the lightening strike set-up John does for a new string....
