    It has been awhile since I had one in front of me, but I seem to remember the slide lock/stop

    had a spring to hold it down until activated by the magazine follower.

    It was a flat "U" shaped spring held in place by the grip panel and was known to "take-off"

    whenever the panel was removed.

    Hit up Brownells and pick up a new one.

    Grip panels have never been removed?

    Got a Dawson fiber optic sight for an XD, was going to drift out the old and it will not budge. I heated the hell out of the slide area around the sight and still no go. I do not see any pins holding the damn thing in, anybody got any Croation glue remover?

    Thanks!

    329 PD .44 Mag

    Any one have an airweight 329 PD Smith in .44 mag? I recently aquired one and it's the most painfull damn gun I have ever shot! Something about a 15 oz .44 mag that just is not right. Anyway, my real question is: It will not light off CCI .44 specials (Blazers) or CCI shot shells, any one care to enlighten me?

    Thanks,

    Very cool, as usual, will I see you at the Rocky Mountain 300? That was probably a dumb question since you have won it every year since it's existance!! (6 years) Last year we had $3500.00 in cash, gave away 20 guns and tons of great prizes. I should mention that Henning contrubutes to the pot on a regular basis with all of his fantastic shooting products for the Tanfo's. See you in May!

    Seriosly though I would look at some of the field holsters by Bianchi or for something a little nicer like El Paso saddery. Id like a flap holster something like the old trooper rigs.

    Thanks guys for the feedback, I apprieciate it!

    Comfortable Holster ? You could make one out of glass shards and razor blades and it would be more comfortable than actually firing one of these,

    Yup, you are right, I shot 12 rounds through it today and had enough fun! It's a great piece to carry in the mtns, just in case.

    SVI IMM

    :P

    Trying to make Major out of an IMM with 115gr bullets can be done, but I think they're only about two or three powders they normally recommend for it.

    If Nicolas is shooting IPSC in Europe, I believe minimum bullet weight allowed is 120 gr to make major.

    Yes, and I mentioned that specifically along with the lower power factor. I was doing a compare-contrast sorta thing. R,

    Sure, but SP-2 isn't available here any longer from what I understand

    I believe that Geronimo mentioned that he is in France, my understanding is that SP-2 is made in France. :I bought about 200 lbs from Graf when they were closing it out 7-8 years ago, NO, I don't want to sell any! Geronimo, my old IMM had 3 huge expansion ports (square) and 3 tribrid ports with a 3 baffle comp and two side bleeders. My new configuration is four tribred holes a two port comp and two bleeders on the side. It requires about .5 grains less of SP-2 or 3N38 than the old one. According to Brandon, this is the latest and greatest technology!

    SVI IMM

    in Open Pistols

    Hello,

    I am hesitating about what I should choose : an IMM or a SVI pistol with a standard slide and barrel (for the Open division)

    Some people told me it can have some problems with IMM. What do you think about ? The owners of IMM are satisfied ?

    I know the subject has already been dealt but I would like to have several opinions before investing...

    Maybe the people who own an IMM or a SVI open can post some photos. It could help me to choose the options...

    I am french and I am sorry for my bad english.

    Nicolas

    Welcome Nicolas,

    You're English is just fine!

    The only "problem" with IMM guns is that not as many powders will safely make Major in them. If you're shooting IPSC in Europe that would be less of a concern with the slightly lower power factor and the slightly heavier minimum bullet weight. Trying to make Major out of an IMM with 115gr bullets can be done, but I think they're only about two or three powders they normally recommend for it.

    I know that doesn't answer your question very well, but it really is one of those things that people have to try for themselves before deciding. Good luck with the decision! R,

    One of my blasters is an IMM, 10grains of 3N38 or 10.2 of SP-2 will make major with a 124 jhp every time. I have five other open guns and the IMM shoots flatter by a long shot!
