Also, S&B are absolutely one of the softest primers on the market. 11.5# hammer spring in a CZ sets them off all day (like 30k rounds). I totally agree on the other parts though, the firing pin channel especially. There shouldn't even be oil in there, as it can slow down the firing pin. Hmmm. I have a S&W 610 that gets light strikes with S&B's...throw some WSP at it and it lights them non stop...Same with a Ruger GP100 I have...light strikes with the S&B's, perfect with WSP's...

davidb72 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I've been using the S&B SPP for a few years now. Personally I think they are softer than CCI but nowhere near as soft as Federal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooldylocks Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yea they aren't as soft as feds for sure, for me they have always acted exactly the same as WSP (ie, if it will pop Winchester then the SB will go too).Either way though, they aren't a "rock hard" primer like was mentioned in this thread. Rock hard to me would be Tula, Wolf or magtech.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepkool Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I have had my DVC Classic .40 for a few months now, Have shot in some local matches without a hick up . Shooting it in Area 7 due to the magazine restriction issues and came across an issue. I made a box to the USPSA specs and the gun doesn't fit . The Beaver Tail safety is app. 1/16 to long to fit the box. Anyone run into to this problem. after reading the thread Ill be scaling gun also tomorrow.

I never checked the dimensions of my Classic, only the weight. I'll test it against the Area 7 box and report back with the results. Also, the .40 bore is larger than the 9mm, so the difference may be enough for yours to make weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepkool Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Check the weight last evening and found pistol and Tripp 10mm mag come in at 2lb 10.6 oz . The length of the gun is 1/16 to long to fin in the box that I made to exact specs . Took a little off the beaver tail so now she fits . Should I be concerned about the weight being so close or should I be looking to take some weight out . Shooting the perfect til in Single Stack in Area7 USPSA championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting the perfect til in Single Stack in Area7 USPSA championship To be safe I'd check it against a second digital scale, but if accurate, you've got a 0.4 oz margin. I'm heading to the range tomorrow to check my Classic against the box we'll use for Area 7, and will report back whether my gun fits.

TheSandMan491 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I've seen two classics posted on Facebook that had rounded trigger guards. I thought all the master series frames had squared trigger guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydrostatic Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 FWIW - IPSC Alberta has a few shooters using the DVC Classic in 9mm and 40. We haven't seen the 9mm guy out to many matches, but the 40 guy is at every match and is the current Canadian Classic champ. The day before he set off for the World Shoot he was experiencing a bad case of hammer follow at one of our qualifier matches on the stock trigger and springs (not altered). As a suggestion to get him out of a bind, I offered that he take any internals he would like out of my Trojans and swap out his parts to get him running - His need to participate in the WS was much greater than my need to win a local qualifier. Unfortunately, no parts out of my Trojans would fit, not even close. Serious amounts of smithing would've been required. Most of us up here run primary and back-up guns in 9mm and 40 cal for Classic/Single Stack. Thankfully all of mine are Trojans and fortunately for me, internals can be swapped between the primary and backups easily with full functionality and very little difference in operation (I don't notice anything). Unfortunately for him, his STI USPSA (back-up) and STI DVC (primary) are not interchangeable either. So, as it stood, he had 1 operating gun for the WS and no ability to get parts for the DVC over night. IIRC - we added a little more spring-force to the left finger of the sear spring and the DVC ran like a champ for 250 rounds testing firing it at the end of the qualifier match. He left for France, shot some amount of stages (not sure how many) before he had to change to his back-up gun for the remainder of the World Shoot. I'm fairly confident that he was pretty annoyed that he spent $5000+ (CAD) on a gun that should've run flawlessly out of the box. I'm pretty sure he had less than 10k rounds through the gun. Moral of the story - Don't assume you can swap parts between two STI models that are meant for the same purpose (Trojan to USPSA to DVC, vice versa) - not that anybody would (dumb Canadians eh). If you're crazy like us and "need" a back-up, then you might want to take this into consideration. My $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is in 9mm and I am having feeding issues with some of my tripp mags, got a higher EGW mag catch which should fix it. my dvc 9mm is having feeding issues with Tripp Cobras and Dawsons too, did the EGW mag catch fix the feeding issue you were having?

I tried different recoil spring weights and Aftec extractors still having occasional failures to return to battery, maybe once in a few hundred rounds loading long about 1.15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
