Thank you

Good morning I already know the excellent video from Atlas Gunworks on the subject of tuning magazines. However, I have problems from the flow of information to hear the specifications of the individual magazine parts such as magazine lips etc. ( I'm not a native speaker) is there some kind of magic number for the correct dimensions of 2011 magazines? Best thanks in advance

I started shooting IPSC in 2015 and my first weapon was a glock 17. Convinced that a better gun will make me a better shooter, the next purchase was a custom 2011. Needless to say, my improvement was less because of the weapon but in my personal Skills As a Shooter. The last big step was an open weapon which, however, only caused misfortune due to various technical defects and did drive me to the brink of collapse. The 5500 € gun failed, the speed holster failed and the expensive guga ribas magazine holders regularly said goodbye together with the magazines in the sand of a stage. absolutely f*#ked up by corona, weapons that annoyed like a pile of crap in the living room at christmas I decided to take my old Glock 17 generation 3 out of the cabinet with a factory trigger and plain Iron Sights… and what can i say ... although i was always convinced that it was a red dot and a lot of money i invest in a weapon that would make me a better shooter this was not the case. Instead, I have to say that the possibility of simply concentrating on one stage knowing that the weapon simply works without having to worry about it is the real success. i'm no slower than Witz any sophisticated weapon. my split times are identical and my equipment cost a total of € 800. if I had known it earlier (and everyone told me so) I would have saved an impressive thousand s of euros. i am happy to be part of the glock team again. it ends where it begins.

@zzt managed to do a photography in ultraslowmow of my gun firing. Looks like there is plenty of work on the Comp?

In Germany its 160 at the moment.

@zzt I have now let my gunsmith do the ports. We also installed a new firing pin block with a smaller radius and worked on the hammer spring. The diffrence is absolutely fantastic, would Never again Go without Ports. I test the gun in the shot with a slow motion camera and millimeter paper and the ports have resulted in a significant reduction in the dot movement. I lost 4 Powerfactor but im still at 168, and 160 is needed. I noticed That the gun is shooting the best with 165-167 PF… Thank you all for your great help! I will now shoot the gun for 4 big matches and after another 5000 shots recap whether it is perfect. https://ibb.co/hFqxMcF

Life is to Short to shoot Carry Optics… joking My Gun has like 35000 rounds with PF 178 and no signs of wear

All of you have a nice good evening First of all, I would like to thank everyone present, your tips for my first open weapon have helped me in many ways and brought my shooting skills to a whole new level. For the first time in my life i ended up in the top ten at a big match. I still have a few questions about a few topics where in many of them iam simply interested in the answer. 1. I often hear that shooters have stabilizer holes drilled in their comps. what exactly is it and what is it good for? 2. when porting guns, I often hear the terms v6 v8 or v12 porting. does this refer to the number of holes? and how important is it whether the ports point directly upwards or are aligned to the side, such as in the eric gold open weapon? I still notice some trembling of my dot movement to the sides and wonder how this could be eliminated. 3. how do you know if a compensator is overgased? I am very satisfied with my load, but the higher I go from the powerfactor, the wilder the movement of the dot becomes. could that be an indication of excess gas? Thank you all

many, many thanks to everyone for your help so far. usually my gunsmith is one of the good guys, but so far he has little experience with ports in open pistols. His experience with popples comes from the area of the former modified division but i am not sure whether the two divisions can be compared. I think I'll start with a 5/32 port and add one after another so I can compare.

3 per hole or 3 in total? Thank you !

Good Morning I would like to know if there are empirical values of how much power factor you lose through popple holes. My gunsmith says that the five inch barrel of my gun would probably have very big problems reaching the required power factor of 160 when I start porting the barrel. It would be approximately 3,75 inches to the first popple. As a powder I use vectan SP2 with a Power factor of 172. Caliber 9mm Major

@zzt Thank you very much !

thank you for your suggestion. I am currently using an 8 lbs progressive spring from Wolff. do you think a 7 lbw spring would make such a big difference?

I'm currently shooting a load of 8.7 grain Vectan SP2 behind a 124 gr Alsa Pro round nose bullet. The weapon that is involved is a SPS Vista Short that already has a new compensator (EGW Titanium Hybrid) After I got a lot of helpful tipps here (thanks again for that), i used a thumb rest from range panda which helped my split times again. The el presidente is routinely shot by me with the weapon in its current setup in 4.2-4.4 seconds, which is a gigantic improvement compared to my previous achievements. My load currently reaches a safe factor of 170 and 160 is required here in Germany. Going higher as 8,7 gr of SP2 in the 9 Major would not feel safe. My consideration now was whether a barrel porting or even 2/4 would allow the gun to shoot even flatter. And how much factor I would lose with what size of the popple holes. Is there any empirical value in this regard? Loosing to much power factor would realy... su*k. Thank you and have a nice Thursday

I thought i would let everyone present participate in the further developments. I have spoken to my gunsmith about several things. -first of all, the vista short compensator was overgased. we will install a new compensator, namely the EGW Titanium Hybrid. I have tested several loads with Vectan SP2, at the moment I am loading 8.8 grain with a 124 grain bullet, which gives me a power factor of 171. Furthermore, we decided to install a tungsten guide rod to bring a little more stability to the system. before I think about the recoil spring ( currently a 10 lbs) the firing pin stop and other things, I will spend about a month with the weapon in the new configuration and see if I can get all the magazines to run reliably. I am definitely not disappointed anymore. I think there were a lot of mistakes in the fact that I was too hesitant about the ammunition. I will definitely keep you all up to date

Very helpful replies so far Thank you all so much!

Right- its the Power Faktor. a brilliant idea but how could you eliminate this vibration on the system of an open weapon? I would be quite open about a new mounting solution, and Yes- using a C More atm. Vectan SP2 is quite similiar to 3N38 . But producing a bit more gas/ little bit slower.

i have tested both the nitro fin and the range panda thumb rest, both of which did not work for me personally I have relatively big hands and have now figured that out my grip was most consistent when I press my left thumb against the cheely mounts Frame from my red dots. I would still like to thank you very much for the tips

I recently decided to switch to the open division. Before that, I shot quite successfully with a CZ Shadow 2 in the Production Optics Division My CZ was redesigned by a gunsmith and fitted with a weaker recoil spring, a Trijicon RMR and when shooting fast the red dot has almost never left the window. Convinced that the Dot will be even flatter in the open division i bought my first open gun, a 2011 from a well known gunsmith in Germany. The gun is in 9 major and my recent setup looks like this 17 lbs mainspring 8 lbs Wolff recoil spring Compensator is the big 2 port from the Vista Short. My reload currently looks like this 7,4 grain of Vectan SP2 right behind a Frontier 121 gr bullet ( a coated flat Point Bullet) at 1.1417 inch. Powerfaktor is about 164 maybe my idea of the open division was just wrong, but the red dot is very unstable and I'm really not that much faster than with my shadow. am I doing something wrong or something? expectations just too high? I appreciate nice tips

Of course! Would love to see it.

What a pitty !

Is Vectan SP2 available in the US? I use 8.0 gr in the 38 super auto and 7.4 gr in the 9 major with a 121 grain bullet

Thank you very much.

Please excuse that I hijack the topic. how is the red dot covered in order to achieve the effect? this type of training is completely unknown in this country.
