Everyone does one more thing to tune the mags saying they're not tuning them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I used the stock base pads for over a year without feed issues. I replaced them when I purchased an STI Tactical magwell because I needed more meat to grab a hold of incase I needed to strip a mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreenMachine945 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Anybody have an idea when there going to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoShooter Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hopefully soon! Maybe Dustin could let us know when they begin shipping to their distributors? Also, if anyone else hears that theirs is shipping (besides an STI sponsored shooter ;-) ), I am sure the rest of us would appreciate hearing about it!

audani77 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I called Dawson Precision a couple of days ago. They have no idea when the DVC will ship. Good thing is, I am the first that ordered the Limited 9mm through them lol. I anxiously await for more news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunkmnky Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yes. Dustin - When are they shipping the Open DVC's? I am ready to cancel my order. Though I have never been called patient. The season is starting for the shooting sports and it puts all the shooters behind the eight ball. Only thing that is stopping me at this point is that it is a sexy gun. But that will only last so long. Then Cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue edge Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Cool then Ill get yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcraig Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Jeez.............the DVC's were just debut at Shot Show, some of you guys need to show some patience. I am also confident most of you have other guns to compete with, and, if you are smart, once you get the gun you still need to do load development, especially if it is a Open DVC. I have a DCV Open 9major on order, I want STI to get it right, if that means a little bit of a wait, then so be it. Hell, I waited over a year for my GH2 Limited gun, and it was worth it. How about you guys use your time wisely waiting for the gun. You know load research, buying components and prepping brass/loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunkmnky Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) hahaha. Nice one Blue Edge - I will sell it to you - 4300.00. LOL )( I have to add money for your anticipated wait ) Already have loads figured out ( For the most part ) Got my 90 degree mount got my 170 mag - Got Rig Only thing I don't have is the gun. LOL So now it should be time to play........ I like everyone else hopefully will be thoroughly surprised when it comes in. STI is a good company IMHO - They have never done me or anyone I know wrong. I also waited for a Custom Build for a year - Which is why I hate waiting. LOL Edited March 5, 2015 by Trunkmnky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmetzler01 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So the DVC guarantee's a 2lbs trigger pull; has the manufacturing improved to where the trigger components no longer need additional gunsmith work? Also if one or more of the trigger components breaks, can I drop in replacement parts and still maintain my 2lbs trigger pull or do I need to send it to STI to ensure I get the 2lbs pull?

MGMorden Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Also if one or more of the trigger components breaks, can I drop in replacement parts and still maintain my 2lbs trigger pull or do I need to send it to STI to ensure I get the 2lbs pull? Its been my experience that on any 1911 (or similar guns) virtually nothing ever "drops in" (aside from the most basic of stuff like a guide rod or something). That's why 1911's cost more than most other guns (either that or they are made in countries like Turkey or the Phillipines where manual labor is cheap). If something breaks and you get a new part it'll almost certainly have to be fitted - either by you, STI, or a gunsmith. Setting the trigger pull weight would just be part of the fitting process.

I agree with the let poster about fitting being necessary. Beyond that, they're not getting a 2# trigger through better manufacturing processes. You can lighten a trigger through geometry (sear / hammer) and spring tension. Most good quality EDM cut hammers / Sears will need no adjustment. So getting a good trigger is just a matter of using better components and taking the time to tweak the seat spring instead of just dropping it in and sending the gun out the door?

WYgunner Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just ordered the limited version. Now I will forget about it and let it surprise me when it shows up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jargon51 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Just ordered the limited version. Now I will forget about it and let it surprise me when it shows up... No you won't. I thought the same thing and I think about it every day. Doesn't help that I'm subscribed to this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audani77 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 exactly! when rumors said they might be shipping first or second week of March I was excited. Now it's a waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Did they say this March or next March? Probably next March before they come out in any significant numbers. If you think like that then you won't drive yourself crazy waiting on your pre-order! Hasn't worked for me but maybe it will for you. I'm excited that it actually comes with useful magazines and not the 126mm paper weights. Lol Edited March 6, 2015 by 3djedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audani77 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's supposed to get released this month or next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunkmnky Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Anyone know if the Cheely 90 degree offset mount will work with the open gun? Just wondering if there is enough room with the slide racker Edited March 8, 2015 by Trunkmnky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
