AC Lever details... Our take down levers are Machined as a Solid-One-Piece from hardened billet tool steel!

This was after doing some polishing before I sent it to Robert.

I sent mine in over a year ago, and it's been great. Trigger pull was reduced to 1# 14.9 oz, 10 pull average. It's as close as you'll get to a 1911 with a striker fired gun. I did replace the original Legion trigger he modified to eliminate the over travel, with an Armory Craft "Slightly Curved" Trigger. It has adjustments, so I was able to eliminate the over travel to be the same as with the modified Legion trigger. Here's a video I posted a while back on the trigger action after the SA Comp job... https://youtu.be/G79dSxcqAiI

I did mine as well, but I didn't do the slide release guard, and wish I did. I have another X5 Legion grip arriving in a couple days for a makeover. Alma did my son's Legion grip and I like it better without the raised slide release protection area. I found that using electrical tape cut in strips the long way made it really easy to form the curves without having to use multiple pieces. Makes for really smooth transitions.

H Alma...Are you planning to post up a video of how you build up the palm swells? It would be nice to see you that process. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Figured it was time to officially join. Lots of great info here!!! Been reviewing info here randomly over the years, and most recently before buying my XL 650. Just added some mods from snowshooze on eBay which makes the press a little more user friendly and smoother. I wanted to start loading my own comp rounds for IDPA and USPSA. Been shooting 150g Syntech recently and liked them, but with somewhere in the neighborhood of 15K pieces of 9mm brass, I figured it was time to start reloading. I also have a Lee turret press I bought years ago to do 223, I figured for short money (dies) I could build some test rounds and see if I wanted to reload before buying the 650. Settled on ACME 147g Hi-Tek coated with 3.1g TG, Federal Primers and OAL of 1.135". Accuracy was good and getting around 129 PF, but it was pretty cold out when the velocity measurement were take so that number should go up when it's warmer out. I just loaded 100 rounds on the 650 and will try them in the next day or so. Pretty happy with the machine!
