Was your build a blow back or a direct impingement system.
I'm not familiar with the brand of bolt carrier group you mentioned.

really nice job.

10mm semi-auto handguns / Re: My SIG XTEN shoots low
October 31 2022 11:45:33 PM MDT
Are you placing front sight on top of your POA. POI should be the same as POA if you do.
If you place it under, your Sig will always shoot low.
Sig sights are always like this. Not so other gun mfg.

How are you going to get 400 finished rounds with 400 handle pulls on any press?? Progressive or single stage.

Anyway, The number of pulls is hardly the best criteria for ammo reloading

IMO a progressive press is not about production it's about maximizing your time and minimizing your effort.

One pull of the handle one round doesn't mean one per second. I make maybe a hundred rounds an hour  but it's not a chore every round that drops into the bin is perfect and gets plunked to prove it.

There isn't enough money to make sense of...

1. Pull handle size... Decap...
2. Prime
3. Pull handle bell, dump powder
4. Pull handle seat
5. Pull handle crimp.

400 rounds equals 1600 handle pulls no math there... I much prefer 400 pulls 400 rounds.
Sorry you guys are a little blinded by your experiences. Explain how you don?t have to pull your single stage for every operation. (Using other equipment still counts)

Handguns / Re: Thoughts on the Kahr CM9

Get a Sig P365 or a Springfield Hellcat. Still pretty small and capacity of 12/13. More with larger mags. Just my opinion. YMMV I don't know anything about Kahr.

4.3 - 950
4.5 - 1000
4.9 - 1050
5,2 max for 1100 fps

listed XTP or FMJ

YMMV in your gun. Ladder testing yourself.

I think what Shadow means is:
What were the velocity measurements for those loads.

I agree with Kelichi on most points. But I am with sqlbullet mostly.

I feel that grace should be extended in and towards people on this.
My freedom should not cause a weaker brother or sister to sin.
Just because I can doesn't mean I always should.

Common sense and situational awareness applies.

Remember written words always seem more severe than spoken ones.

Just looking at pic. The Sig (Jaegerman ?) looks stoutest.
Thicker at base; tapered higher. Seems that structural analysis would bare out, but I'm not that guy.

For sale / FS: Witness Elite and 3 uppers
August 09 2020 10:26:50 PM MDT
I need to consolidate my collection. (I am going to keep my 10mm Glocks or My Witness pistols)

My Witness collection includes:

Witness Elite in 10mm (original gun)
Upper in 40 S&W
Upper in 9mm with ejector and extractor tuned to work on 10mm frame

Also have Witness Match with .22LR upper

Many new springs. All uppers have Henning cone rods except the 22 of course.

Over $3000 invested. Will sell whole lot for $2,000 open to offers

10mm upper is missing the fiber rod but sight is OK.
Nothing wrong with these guns, just need to thin out some things. Thanks for looking!

Sounds like any AR lower will do. Do you have any other ARs to try out. (Swap)
