Single stack weight

[rustychev]

So how close do you run your single stack to 43oz.  Im at 42 5/8th I feel like its a little to close but just wondering what everyone is running.

I’d check it on multiple scales with your lightest mag. If you feel confident, run it.

42 and a half ...and I am completely comfortable with that at any Level 3.  Just make sure that you measure with a couple different scales and after any mod or cleaning....

Iv worked my way thru all my mags and the weight dose not change I will find a second and third scale and as long as not show more I guess Ill call it good thanks guys.

I would think your heaviest mag making weight on multiple scales all but guarantees you're not shooting open with 8 round mags at a major match.

Mine is at 42.8oz with my lightest mag.

Did you steal my gun???

I have ran all the way to 42.9 but I checked with a triple beam gram scale. It was 43 at the SS nationals. That was a little too close for comfort.

Mine is 42.5 oz on my kitchen scale and 42.625 oz the last time it was weighed for a match. I like the .5 oz buffer. Leaves plenty of room for error.

[rustychev]

My goal was 42-42.5 but from what Im seeing Im close but not way closer than other people are running that makes me feel better.

Mine weighs in at 41.05 oz on my digital scale. This is without a guide rod, which I may add at a future date.

Why I said weigh it with the heaviest mag. That way any mag you give them at weigh-in will be at or below what you know its max is.

 

And sticking at 42.9 on your scale s like asking to shoot 8 round Open. A little too much grease, dirt or the wrong magazine and your day just got destroyed. Makes a great story afterward though (as long as you make weight).

 

That said, I once choro''d at exactly 125 power factor (shooting Production). Shooting for no score, that would have been a blast. Not.

I prefer 42.8 or less, for a little margin of safety when someone else's scale is jacked up. fwiw, i invested some time and discussion with a whole group of RMI's a year or so ago and concluded that if you have more than 1 brand/type of mag, the gun needs to make weight with the heavier one. You might get away with giving chrono a plastic basepad mag instead of the dawson aluminum basepads, but you will be cheating.

At a level 2 match a couple years ago my gun went on the scale and came up 43.1. Chrony guy looked at it funny, picked it up. Checked that the scale went back to zero. Set it back down, came up 43.0. Looked at me with smile and said “You’re good.... barely.”

 

I shaved a little weight, just so I didn’t have a heart attack next time. Mine runs at 42.3 now.
