walrus76 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hello, I was wanting to start loading 9mm major. Would the fully supported factory barrel work? What else can I do?I'm running in limited minor, henning trigger , egw sear , heart shaped hammer Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Why load major? It won't help you in Limited - you'd need to build an Open gun in order to be scored Major if you're shooting 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Are you planning to install a compensator? The effectiveness of the comp is a big factor in the life of the barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Per Appendix D2, Item 5, you need to have a bullet caliber of .40 or greater to be scored major in Limited. so, the simple solution is to purchase a .40 top end for your tanfo! >>>>>>>>>>> edit: ok, i now see that in the title you said Open Major - so belay my comment above!

walrus76 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm aiming to recycle the stock 3 into an open project. Do I need a upgraded barrel, compensator, cmore? What can my factory barrel take in abuse?Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint - youre better off buying a 38 sup Gold Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlB86 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Does this mean you now have an SIII for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walrus76 Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 I do not have 50 posts . This is what I'm working with. I can return it to double action at will. Still a limited or gold team upper would be more gooder. Thank you for your inputs. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
