aandabooks Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I have ran mine with .40 minor and major to include federal factory 180 and had zero issues with the gun so far. I have had a issue with the nickel para P16 mags from midway and Dawson plates. They are to short and won't lock up without a good smacking, seems the mag being short causes the base plate to hit the mag well. Now the factory ACT mags from Greg Cotes are 100% so far. What basepads are you running on the mags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I picked up a 2011 FS Tactical w/rail in .40. What Bladetech holster and which DAA racemaster insert for this gun? Edited July 4, 2016 by aandabooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightops Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 From what I understand there were two different lengths, a standard length and an extended length. I understand the oversized button just thought there was some sort of extended length that extends the mag release itself and then the button screws into it. I haven't seen a regular size but extended. The ones I have bought were normal para widebody type, just drilled and tapped. The threaded in button adds height and size.

Mahlsan Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I just fit a nitro fin on my Rock. Does anyone else complete with theirs? Making my way to B class in limited. Should be there soon. I am also competing at USPSA nationals with this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmKerle Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Yes I have a Nitro fin on my Pro match .40 and use it in USPSA limited class. The gun runs like a top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCTaylor Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I picked up a 2011 FS Tactical w/rail in .40. What Bladetech holster and which DAA racemaster insert for this gun? BladeTech makes a Drop-Offset for the RIA. Select Rock Island as the Manf. and RIA 5" w/ Rail DS http://shop.blade-tech.com/index.php?cPath=1_23_24&osCsid=ephdgcmtsbj9106o19934p82a5#.V3us-_krJD8 RaceMaster insert for 1911. The rounded trigger guard dictates the type of block; SVI, STI, etc. will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtaylor996 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I just bought one of these (51947, 9mm/22tcm) for my father in law. Took it to the range and went back and forth with it and my own older SVI in 40. Shot great, no issues at all (I went over it completely including setting the extractor tension with the weigand gauges). Accuracy wasn't on par with the SVI, especially at longer distances, but I think that has more to do with my 9mm load not being a great one. I read the last few pages here and find references to ACT mags from cotes, but those seem to be for 40. So what are the 9mm mags y'all are using for these? So far it seems impossible to get the exact one that comes with the gun from armscor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtaylor996 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Also, what should I put in the form at blade tech for 51947 (5" with full length tail) for a holster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightops Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The 9mm double stack mags are Mec-gar P18 mags. If you have the factory magwell, you will need new basepads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrant Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Has anyone modified the slide on the Pro Match 40 or Ultra HC 9mm? (Modified: meaning those pretty cuts and wholes) Pics if you have them... Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadrant Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 That is sweet!!!!!!. Can you provide the details on who did the work? Also, what did you do to the gun to compensate for the reduced weight of the slide. (springs, etc) Thanks again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I've been thinking about doing mine but with the front cocking serrations I'm not sure I want to cut in that area. I've thought about opening up the top like a G34 or XDM 5.25". Here is a M&P I did a while back. Don't know if these cuts would look good on a 2011.

What is your concern with cutting into the front serrations?They are already there. Definately wouldn't want to cut sideways through them. I'm thinking about starting right behind them and doing 2-3 cuts like a STI DVC Limited has. After that I might think about either flattopping the slid or milling one long 3/8"-1/2" wide slot out of the top.
