.3143 micrometer on my super gp100

357454 my 929 has a red dot and GP iron sights so can’t compare. I mainly shoot steel challenge and Bianchi plates. I can grip the GP a little higher stronghand where my thumb is pretty close to stock release.

357454: Within couple of months I received my new 929 back from David Olhasso with his competition package and then bought a new Ruger Super GP1009mm. I have been shooting for quite awhile not rated but used to be a Tool and Die Maker. The chambers are tighter on the GP believe they are true 9mm chambers compared to the 929 depth from ejector GP .670/929 .710 At chamber throat step GP.381/929.385 throat on GP .3585 the barrel on the GP, my 38 357 range rod will pass down the barrel the throats and barrel line up nice using the rod. That’s fine with me since I can shoot .358 bullets on both. I have not had a headspace problem on the GP. As far as loads go if you use .355 to .356 bullets your fine but I am shooting .358 poly and .357 jhp in the GP. Loads pretty good with .357jhp but .358 poly bullets I have to use 105/115/125 grain loaded kinda short with good crimp and have no problem smooth loading with TK moons both revos use the same. I cannot load my 160 grain poly bullets that fit the 929 since tighter chambers, I will probably have the chambers cut a bit looser down the road. On the GP added bigbutt grip bobbed hammer and did a trigger job myself on digital Lyman got 5lb8oz 8 pull average. I polished and shimmed the trigger components. Used other springs that I ground down a bit with my lathe and mandrel. I can light off seated federals but not winchester. The pull is around .100 longer than the 929 measured bottom tip of trigger. The GP Trigger is very smooth feels light but bit longer. The trigger that Dave did on the 929 just makes me smile its fantastic his competition job is wonderful. I really like the GP I think it is a great value, course at this time it doesn’t have numerous after market performance parts as the 929 but with just a few cheap additions that I did myself I am enjoying it.

I think it is a good idea. Cost would be 1/4 to 1/3 of an open 2011 with tuned mags and speed holster. I like shooting a dot better also my older eyes struggle with irons. Will be cheaper to reload than major also no chronograph in load developement. Shooting major especially with holes is painful man I can feel it in my teeth plus it saves my ears and I double plug. Be good to see how it goes.

I bought the HK spring kit and pliers. Watched the install video- all went easy. Mine showed a great improvement feels like high 3's to me. Worth the small price for a really nice trigger. My reset is smooth no catches and has good spring pressure on return.

Try WST, Accurate No2, Solo1000 and Tightgroup. Be careful with N310 very fast powder. HP 38 is a bit slower than N320 not quite the same but great powder

Out of my VP9, I can run 3.7 of N320 with 115gr HAP @ 1.120. As of yet no failures to eject. Stock setup.

Just picked up and shot my new xcal today. What a nice pistol, very accurate and recoil control is impressive. I have had them all; currently have custom open 2011 and HK VP9. Excellent quality, nice slide to frame fit. Being 2011 guy I really like the safety. I had a STI GP6 long ago and always regretted selling it- so nice to have GP again. Agree what everyone is saying about this pistol. Also, what a value, custom machining- excellent trigger- very accurate for 890 out the door. Now I need Kingman's holster btw I really like the one he made for my HK VP9.

Jid2: on your slide cuts did you use an EDM machine. Sure it's been ask many times but is your new red dot still making progress.

Thanks Tom

Bet it is a 5-40

I need to drill and tap my 14-3 to accept the Allchin mount. Looks close to a 6-40. Anyone know. Thanks

and out it goes! Have you tried one? we are out and I haven't been able to check on out Just got one from shooters connection and it is nicely built. Likes: tight clamp fit to the cr speed belt-numerous drill tapped holes on blue anno plate to give for/aft and height adjustment-can tilt the pistol toward or away from you-can adj tension from loose to tight my shadow fits very nice not tight at all. I also use ghost race holsters for my other guns and this thing is darn close in performance. I also like how stable it is with the tight belt fit and round pad at the bottom of the holster. For me no negatives.

Are you planning on releasing locking blocks to further the lockup and accuracy. If so when? Thx

Yes eerw on the forum. Ran 400 rounds today 300 were not hand seated and it ignited everyone. The trigger is really very nice worth every penny. Stuart gives a fast turn around on his work which is a plus.

My new Shadow Target was 6.6 & 2.5. Stuart got it down to 4.2 and 2.0. Since I also shoot competition revolver with light trigger's I had him set it up for federal primers and will prolly hand seat. Dramatic difference, smooth and light -I've felt some nice da revo triggers and this job is second to none. Know its been said many times how good he is and a nice guy to deal with--all accounts true. Thanks Stuart for completing my CZ.

Just bought a shadow target and want to try local USPSA-mainly shoot action pistol. Curious on your power factor. Is that load based on accuracy with your gun-barrel twist-bullet weight and velocity? New to this but you're PF is way above what it needs to be. Would a PF of say 127 give less flip and better control if accuracy is there. Is it based on having your pistol run 100%. Ok enough dumb questions. Thanks

Wow, you must have a really fast barrel. I need over 4 grains of 320 to make pf in my 9mm pro with Zero 125 grain jhps! steel load

Just bought a KKM and now the M&P will shoot groups. I did notice a big improvement over stock. I ran zero's 115 with 4.0 gr of N320. I know people like Montanna golds but in every gun that I have shot zero's or xtp's were superior for me anyway. Wish the KKM was fitted its just drop in. Barsto will be good also, Apex Tactical is going to do some exciting stuff with the M&P as far as accuracy. My pistol is a 9mm Pro.

Kevin: Did you run those groups with WST---somewhere around 4.8 gr??

John at Glock Jockey fit a KKM and tightened the slide on my 17 and it would group under an inch easily @ 25yd with 115 XTP or 115 zero jhp. It did have a c-more on it that helped.

gm iprod: I would like to try the Zero 125JHP and know Warren uses them with great success but I am afraid of shooting them behind 5.3 or so grains of hp38 in my K frame. I really like my 14-5 and want to take care of it so guess lead is the way to go. The 135FWC would be a good idea. Right now off a rest my K38 will shoot WC .750-1.500 @ 25yd and 1.5-3.0 @ 50yd. Agree on the mover and the edge--I just have to practice-heck I cant shoot the mover with my open mover base anyway :-) Thanks

Want to shoot my K3814-5 in production next year just so I can shoot more than my Open Auto. Its my understanding that I can do a trigger job but externally it must look stock. Also, proper timing and such. Can I add a crane lock? On the forcing cone, can that be cut to a different angle--want to shoot wad cutters and if I remember right Ron Power mentioned a certain angle that is beneficial to cutters--not sure. If I decide to run a different shape bullet I might consider Taylor throat. The sights--I can run fiber optic if I want is also my understanding. Thx

Taylor Throat for squish and hope Smith comes out with aftermarket cylinders with .001 difference in center line to charge holes.
