I am in the process of hooking up April's pistol. Pretty much ready to start fitting parts, but I decided to really hook hers up. I ordered a bunch of wilson combat parts for it, so I am waiting...
Rocko those jigs are in stock now! $200 is a deal inmhop http://www.matrixprecisionparts.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=23&zenid=d83b24c4f441f0930132361f28af486a
Chris, didn't think about the fact that there could be less layers of clothing. I know the vids I watched all used 2-4 layers of denim in front of the ballistic gel, maybe I can find one with less...
Well I wasn't hitting steel very well lol! Makes sense if my sights are that far off. Haha
Check out this Barnes page. It lists other companies that use their rounds. Some of them use that 185...
I think it was $27.99 a box originally, so it ended up being $20.99 a box of 20. It is not +P, I think just the .38 special and 9mm Luger rounds are +P for the PDX1 ...
Picked up a couple boxes of Winchester PDX1 to see if it would feed the hollow points. FYI, at Dicks right now 25% off hollow point pistol ammo. Fired one box and they fed just fine. The other box...
Thanks Steve. Honestly just stoked that it ran well. Now I can work on the trigger and my technique to get more accurate.
Chris, check out this new jig specifically for doing this with a drill...
So, I looked at them again. Both were from the winchester white box and it didn't look like it was really bulging. When I compared them to the American Eagle that I have here, I noticed that the...
Yeah the hammer wouldn't even fall, so that is good. If they are both from the same box, then I will assume it was from the factory
I think they were out of the white box, I will check when I get home.
One was definitely with a bad magazine (I should just chuck the mags that came with the Sarco kits) They wouldn't fire because they wouldn't fully seat, therefore the slide wasn't all the way...
Test fired her today. Worked great with Winchester and American Eagle FMJ. 2 rounds failed (out of the 150 tonight). Neither would allow it to go into full battery. Looks like the rounds were...
The gun itself with the magpul grips, I am at about $420 (that doesn't include the extra McCormick magazines, a cleaning kit, snap caps, and a simple case that I bought, that's another $70).
I...
Got the sticking grip safety issue fixed, ended up that the grip safety was binding with the hammer strut if the hammer was back and you pushed on the grip safety just right. The safety would bind...
No more build parties. They are even trying to go so far as saying you have to actually own the tools and only do it at your residence. ... I think that is bs though and would only come into play if...
Yeah, it's not super messy, just that you need to clean it super good between steps (especially when switching grits). I went through 1 1/2 cans of brakeclean on my frame. I just held it down in a...
Sunday, I was able to lap my slide and frame. Pretty cool how fast it worked! I also was able to stake the plunger tube. Got it all back together and I am ready to test fire it. Got a couple better...
Nice! That is sweet!
Awesome! Glad to hear!
Got tired of just filing and fitting parts, so I put it all together just to see it all. The plunger tube and extractor, are not installed, I want to wait until I get my lapping compound and get...
Got the other one ready for fitting and lapping compound
His and hers

Here's a good detail about using a drill press for this. He is using a sliding vise.

One guy actually did the...
Drilled it, cut the rails, and milled the barrel seat today. Slide goes on smoothly and ready to get some lapping compound. Started fitting other parts as well, lots of filing and fitting.
