hjweiss Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Great looking pistol! I'm hoping to get mine very soon as well. Question: What is the finish on your gun? Just wondering if that is the CrN (Chromium Nitride) finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 No, it's the DLC. The lighting was very bright in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 By the way, the 60 grit skater terrain is very, very grippy. It's different than the 60 grit SiC grips that I make for my other pistols. I have scratches on my palms from handling this gun. Time will tell how long it lasts though.

After bleeding from several places on my strong hand I switched to the other IST grip tape rather than the 60 grit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nationals last weekend. 4.6 grains of N320 1.20 OAL with a 179.3 grain coated lead bullet made 168.8PF. That is from my 5.4" AET barrel SVI.

Not saying that isn't possible, but I've been loading 40 cal w/N320 for 15+ years, maybe 20, and dozens of different guns with AET, non-AET, 5 inch, 5.4 inch and 6 inch barrels, and none have made major with anything close to 4.6g. So I'm very surprised. Are you sure you're scale's accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candiru Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 That could be it. But still surprised it's that big of a difference. Huge difference. 4.65g using Blue .40 180's in 5.4 aet. I could go down even further with Acme's. 5.2 using MG JHP 180's in same gun and barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtchevy841 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 October 23 will make 15 months. Not looking good now. Looks like I am gonna be waiting a little longer than the 12-15 month build time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 It’s official 15 months. Looks like I’ll be waiting a little longer. Hopefully not to long. Kinda sucks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will hopefully see soon but I am not holding my breath for it to come in anytime soon since it’s at the 15 months now. I guess I just gotta sit and wait for the call anyway now since it is 15 months and any day after that it could come since it will be past build time. I waited this long but it still sucks.

Couple people said they were around that time. Well this is not encouraging. Oh well it is what it is. Still sucks that build time is 12-15 months and people are way past that time. ?

Dirtchevy841 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 I knew the wait was gonna be hard to do but I think my biggest issue is that I have not seen one or looked at one in person. Only recommendations of members and guys that have a Sv. Everyone says their awesome but still I haven’t held one. I know I am probably gonna be blown away we I see it. Just hope it’s not much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACree Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The SV pistols look so much sexier than the Limcats, but that isn't what necessarily matters.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Fingers crossed. Received another call from Brent from Sv Wednesday. Pistol is in final stage of completion and about to be test fired with all the mags I am getting with it. Hopefully really soon. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikedio Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Dirtchevy841: I bought my first SVI the same way, having never held or shot one in person. Mine was for sale from a stocking dealer, so I had instant gratification. As I have said before, as I left the local gun shop with the new SVI, my first thought was how to get my next! I absolutely guarantee you that you will be thrilled. I also got a call from Brent last week. I should get mine next SVI by the end of the year or a little sooner. Mine has to be DLC finished so it will take that much more time. Good shooting. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtchevy841 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Well got another call from Brent from Sv last Tuesday. Said it was in final stages of build and asked me if I wanted more mags than the 5 I ordered. He said they are getting ready to test fire and gonna test all the mags as well. Hope not much longer don’t know if I can handle another false alarm call ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionaryMike Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It seems this whole experience has been very taxing for you. Shot another 350 rounds through mine today. I’ve been enjoying it so far. Hope you get yours very soon, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
