are those s.s. or aluminum?

make sure your recoil spring has enough room and doesnt go solid.

no need to be rude, Mr. para expert.

Im shooting an M&P in production and L10, and I was also worried about losing accuracy by shooting a 4" gun, but this M&P 40 is accurate!
totally happy; so far.

Ok, here's more detail. Its my single stack 1911. Normal mag release button. Mags are 10rd Chip McCormick Power mags. Grips are rubber pachmayrs.
I'm not sure if it is one mag over any other. I'll have to mark them and play with all of them to see. I think I have had this happen in a match but don't recall exactly which stages. It happens with an empty mag, but I haven't been practicing with partially filled mags either.
I also run cmc10's when I shoot my 1911 in L10.
What happens is the overall width of the magazine increases at the top, just under the feed lips.
take them apart and gently squeeze in a padded vice or pliers until they are back to spec.
Specs for 1911 magazines are, width, .541" (+.008, -.006)
I like to keep em right at .540" or just under.
So before you do anything else, get out the ol calipers.

many pistol magazines require the release button be pressed a certain length of time, albeit a very short time (fractions of a second), so that gravity takes the magazine out of any contact with the mag release catch.
It you just swipe at the mag button, its not always enough.
That said, there are certain tweaks that can be done, like a lighter spring and/or some filing, that will make it more prone to drop free.

thats funny!

Any good smith with a mill could do it.

I only got bumped up 12 on the the tulsa match; sitting at 36 right now.
Apparently, This is a more -doable match for folks, or maybe the production/limited venue is more popular.
You may be right but I think at the moment it has more to do with the Open/L10 slots being due the other day and the Limited/Prod/Revo slots aren't due til July.
DUH!
Never thought of that; I didnt know there was a different deadline!

Bars serve both, all domestics like Bud and miller are 3.2. Imports and microbrews are usually 6.0.
All gas station beers are 3.2.

This will be my 2nd Nats in a row, and yeah, Im a little concerned with being able to afford the trip; just like I was last year to Barry, IL.
But I never once said, "Hey, that wasnt worth it!"
Its an experience, a mecca, a place where you dont get called crazy for air gunning through a parking lot, where your wife doesnt yell for you to come to bed and stop playing around with your guns, where you never get tired of running through a stage in your head.
But for me, its great practice as well. The stress level of a Nats you will find no where else. Just being able to fucnction when you have professional shooters all around you is a great learning experience.
-Think youd be as nervous the next time some new hot shot GM comes to your local club match? nope.

Just because you started this thread doesnt mean you own it by a royal edict.
Youre on the internet, ya gotta separate the wheat from the chaff.

You have to go check under your classificatrion scores in order to see the # you have on the waiting list, right?
I cant open it up, dang.
edit:
AHHH! 43rd.
-dang.

Jake, these are seriously long data sets; they looked at CO2 concentrations, CO2 emissions, precipitation, solar output, a ton of stuff.
The sun isnt getting measurably hotter, not as far as the timespan of CO2 emissions started.
I really am not typing here to be smug and to give glory to Gore and other liberal causes.
I would just like folks to know that not all that think this is a problem, are hippies and left wing turds.
I am a very conservative guy, this is about the only thing that I disagree with as far as a conservative Republican platform goes.

Oh I agree that the UN sucks, but it uses already existing, peer-reviewed scientific articles that the worldwide scientific community as a whole have independently, and without UN money, published.
and I love schnabels!
I don't play this card often, but I have a degree in Physics.
-and my card beats yours; I have a graduate degree in Ecology and have worked with a climate change ecologist at a Major Research University for 4 years. I hate academia, but for other reasons, not for the science it puts out.
I dont recall any UN money truck pulling out in front at any time.
We got our funding, like 99% of research in the US does, from the National Science Foundation, and the Dept of Energy.
-You know, the same govt agencies whose budgets are signed by President Bush.
You Physical Science guys need to start looking at the environment as a little bit more than a variable to plug into a formula.
Its the rate of change, the rate of warming, that correlates so well with a multitude of data sets. Its happening at a rate thats never been known to have happened.
Got any "cards" left?

Or if you all have a brain,
you could look into factual data, and check out the latest report from the IPCC; The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international consortium of government representatives, from nations, like the US, Great Britian, and , uh, everyone else.
"The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. The IPCC does not carry out research nor does it monitor climate related data or other relevant parameters. It bases its assessment mainly on peer reviewed and published scientific/technical literature."

Just got my slot, so a question-
About how far is the range from the holiday Inn Parkside, and in what direction?
thanks!

I use a Kytac Sooper Hooper for Single Stack, Production, and Limited.
HEY!
Me too!

William,
I shoot an XD40 Tactical in Production and I love it. It was completely modified
by Rich Dettelhouser at Canyon Creek (who I highly recommend). The only
thing that would slow you down would be the 12rd mags and minor caliber.
Sparky
40 can be major, too you know....

Myself and another guy here, 1911user, did some fairly intensive testing on the merits and pitfalls of the LnL AP, and had them side by side with dillons, a 550 and 650.
If youre a tinkerer, and like to load, say maybe 50-100 of a caliber at a time, then the LnL isnt all that bad.
But If you need to crank out massive quanities, like 1k at a sitting, the 650 is without peer.
1911user should be by in a little with his cut and paste reply to this issue he gives to the gun boards.

"Accuracy is ok, all in the A zone, if I do my part at 50 yds. "
-and its reliable??
Sounds like a perfect single stack for ipsc.
Let it rattle.

That is exactly what happened to mine, twice so far. A buddy is going to fit an EGW oversize stop and see if that will solve the problem.
I am?
Sear Spring "notch" Too Low
in General Gunsmithing
Posted
Some older paras have the notch about 3/16" lower than what a normal sear spring would use.
Took a small cut off wheel to my para, made another thin slot and now it works on normal springs.
