Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy

Agree it sounds like an extractor and/or extractor tension, also give the extractor channel a good cleaning, sometimes a lot of crap can build up in here and cause issues.

Also you probably already know this, but I see a lot of people drop pistol slides with a round in the chamber, especially when they are having issues getting a gun to run. Avoid it, it's extremely hard on extractors, you can easily chip the claw hook, and/or bend the hook causing issues.
Cleaned the channel out and it’s still doing it. Wasn’t near as bad as my staccato P was when it started doing the same thing, the amount of crap in there was amazing. New extractor is on the way. Aside from the safety, this will be the last factory mim part left.

As far as the second part, I’m aware of it, but thought it was more of dropping the slide on and empty chamber being the issue. We try to be nice with these guns, understanding they’re not glocks and need more care. Regardless, during the heat of the moment, mid-stage, things happen.

My only concern would be the printed mesh portion getting clogged up or damaged somehow

They have a fairly regular cleaning schedule if I remember what I read about them a while back.

Yeah, I had read that every 500-1000 rounds you can put them in an ultrasonic cleaner and be gtg so that doesn’t seem bad.

Are the FN SPR enthusiasts extinct?

Well, that's the old/same factory DBM as the SPRs had for years. The mags will only hold 4 rounds though. Feed great though, still have a few old bottom metals and mags laying around myself.

The H-S stock looks close to the first Gen SPRs Winchester Marksman stock, but I'd need better photos (especially of the wide fore end) to tell.

Not sure of your green stock from those photos either. Is it fiberglass, or some sort of polymer?

I'll get more pics momentarily. If the black stick is in fact a first gen, it would be a long action. I believe all first gen SPRs were built on LAs.

The green stock is a mcmillan or manners (I can't recall) and it's some type of hunter stock. That's what the previous seller told me. He tried doing some inletting work himself and kinda fucked it up a bit buts it not too bad.

Yeah those mags are nice. I now have like 4 or 5 of those bottom metals and plenty of mags lol.

Suppressors First Suppressor - PTR

They are pretty damn near expensive and new but reviews look really good. I say if you got the money go for it. They will not be the last so get what you want. One or two cans quickly turns into 9 or 10.

I hate paying more than I have to but if something is quality and will last then I’m in the buy once cry once camp.

I’ve honestly held off for so long because I felt like the suppression level just isn’t worth it on cans I’ve been around but from what I saw, these seem to be outperforming other cans in that arena so it’s peaked my interest.

Rimfire Barricade Matches and Range trends…

I run my matches to max 310y for two reasons. Maybe three.

One - our range prefers that we use berms whenever possible.

Two - the switchy winds and three wind zones at the range make hits on even a 12” square plate at 307 yards tricky sometimes. I’m not putting out targets for the 1% that might get lucky at 400y.

Three - I want my matches to ensure that beginners and lower budget shooters make at least 30% hits. A 310-400y shot means a likely goose egg on a stage.

Okay, four - many of the less expensive setups and cannot dial much past 300y and I am not going to discourage anyone from a chance to participate and have fun willingly.

Eh, five - maybe if someone comes close to cleaning a match I’ll consider it. As a portion of a stage.

China embargo?

just saw elsewhere that Trump just embargoed China 100%-meds,car parts,everything. true from other sources? if so-
1) need to get US citizens out. they will be in danger. be like China in 30s.
2) a lot of corrupt rinos and dims will scream bloody murder
3) will affect very many firms here,some smallish,some enormous
4) Xi likely to try Taiwan to start some distraction to stay in power?
5) some judge will make some "injunction" BS
6) affect on Russia/Ukraine?
7) some secret thing with Modi to distract china from India?/Pakistan?
8) will drastically curtail the income of most congressional scum
expelling ALL Chinese nationals would be a terrific add on. not likely possible but siccing the FBI on them would be interesting. universities would cry about losing faculty,students and closing departments-fuck them.
if we expelled all illegals,all Chinese nationals,90% of Muslims might get our pop down from 350 mil to 250-good thing. reduce crime 20% at least. of course the in country Chinese army would have to be dealt with.

Don't be fooled, conservatives in U.S. are all alone.

I promise he is not alone, not even close. Met one asshole yesterday in the local gunstore. Peddles an electric bike and was buying his piece of shit Turkish pump shotgun to get ready to fight Elon. Firmly believes foreign criminals have every right to stay here. Droned on and on while literally the entire store mocked him.

He had all the conviction of a religious zealot. Even though we googled his lies and proved them wrong as he spoke. In 15 days he will be a gun owner just like you.
What dumb ass gun store sold him a gun?

Pistol ar....lvpo vs red dot

Or how about a real world application? Poor lighting conditions. Bad guy is 250 yards out and behind cover. At least you think it's the bad guy. Could be a civilian cowering behind a wall because he heard shots. Now that dot is starting to look a lot less useful.

Real world? Where do you live Gaza Strip? lol that’s about as far from real world as anyone here will be with these AR pistols. lol

Seriously though, I have had a couple 300BO pistols and had a red dot on one, and still do, and the other had a 1-6x on it. No issues with eye relief with the 1-6 and it was nice with a little more power to see longer targets but my main use for the one is just range fun and house gun so a red dot works just fine and I wear glasses and have astigmatism. No problems with the star shaped dot dropping it in the center of a target. Not shooting over 200 yards with it.
