kamber Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 How did you end up liking the weight/balance of this bad boy with the XWF heavy open frame? I'm thinking of doing either a 5" or 5.4" build with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cracked the slide on my first open gun (its an older gun), id like to get a new top end build with newer updated parts and id like to have someone local build it.

kamber Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 @YellowShooter, did you use a full-profile Binary 3-Port comp, or the regular profile one? I like how the tri-top extends across the entire comp and the how the lines at the bottom of the comp flow into the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full profile, the Tri top was performed after the slide/barrel/comp fit and match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on doing the same; saw yours and was hoping you'd chime in to say it was done using a regular profile comp since they're $100 cheaper, hehe.

If you have lot 314 of SWMP, know that it shoots slower-than-normal. I have a bunch of it and am currently waiting on a response from SW to my request to exchange it for a different lot.

Thank you for the info! Can you take a picture of where the lot number is found? I think mine is kinda faded lol I am not sure if I am looking at a resemblance of a lot number lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamber Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I think its likely that you have a slow lot if its taking you 10.6gr to make PF with a 5" barrel, 2x popple holes, and a 124gr bullet at 1.165" OAL. Especially if it is a KKM barrel, as those are known to be amongst the fastest-shooting, while SV barrels are known to be slower-shooting. The lot number is located to the right of the red "CAUTION": The last 3 digits indicate the lot number. I believe the different lot numbers in circulation as of recent are 314, 514, and 115.
