shotgunone Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) chuckstur Posted 01 November 2014 - 04:43 PM My Eagle is still at 95%. Feed stoppages despite STI re-profiling the feed ramp. Presently at 1.7 OAL with BBI 180s. 165s are worse. Tried 10# to 14# recoil springs. Magazine lips .381" to .388". Ordered Grams followers Isn't 1.7 OAL kind of long on a .40 cal? Thought factory was about 1.135 at the max. 1 3/4 inches seems kind of long to me.

LiloHart Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I just picked up my first 2011 (STI executive) and ran it at a match with the same loads i use in my glock 35 (1.125 OAL) and it only had one failure to go into battery (which i think was caused by the mag because i set that specific mag aside the rest of the match and had no problem.) Other than that it ran great. And thats pretty impressive seeing as the ammo was loaded shorter than a lot of people would run in a 2011 and they were .401 diamter lead bullets through a non throated barrel.

andy27al Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have been forced to run long loaded .40 for perfect reliability. Standard can occasionally cause an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
