bigblock455 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I shoot 3 Gun with a G-17 with a frame mounted C-more can I swap off my 9mm slide and put on a complete G-35 slide and shoot USPSA Open High Power with it? Any issues with this approach I'm not seeing? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 You could shoot open with it. Most likely the poi will change when you change the slide, so you'll have to remember zero. Are you using a comp? You could just reload for 9 major and not worry about the 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I'm not set up to reload yet so I was playing with the idea of just swapping my 35 slide on. I guess I should just buy so high power 9mm reloads and keep the gun the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello: Since you are shooting open already why not just buy a barrel and comp for 9mm? Then you could just shoot it with the same setup all the time. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've got a KKM barrel and a 4 port Carver comp. I don't reload. So the problem is getting Major Power Factor 9 mm ammunition vs the hassle of swapping slides, re-zeroing and shooting off the shelf .40 cal to make Major. I'm thinking getting Major 9mm is easier all around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Factory 40 cal ammo is not gonna be great for open as the heavy bullet and fast powder don't have much to Work the comp so it's gonna shoot more like a limited gun than an open gun. Open really is a reloaders game but if your shooting factory only I would just shoot your 3 gun setup at minor as 40 is gonna cost you a lot of rounds and still not shoot like an open gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light700 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There are some company's that sell reman 9mm major loads out there or you could just shoot open minor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraj Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Open minor would be he easiest. And it would be more like the rounds you use for 3 gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Thank you guys. Within the year I will be reloading and shooting a 2011. Until then I will continue, as you suggest, to shoot minor and get used to the USPSA game while mainly concentrating on 3 Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hello: Start collecting brass now and save up for a Dillon 550 so you can load for a your AR as well. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A 9mm ejector is slightly bent inwards, compared the straight-ahead pointing ejector that sits in a .40 cal frame. I wonder if there's a potential issue with a 9mm ejector working with .40 S&W rounds... ? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v79/hotrod9mm/3-Ejectors-1x.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was talking about using the whole .40 cal slide on my g-17 grip section. So even though the 9mm and the .40 cal have different ejectors the right ejector would stay with the right slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1gcountry Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The ejector is part of the frame. It is easily swapped out with the trigger housing for about 17 bucks. They work okay with either caliber, but eject in different directions. Depending on load, it may our may not be annoying. Some people have voiced concern for igniting the primer when using incorrect ejector, but they are both spp, and it would be centered either way, so I don't think that is any more valid with a 40 our 9 ejector.
