Cutting coils I don't bent last coil flat, but it's more elegant if you do so :rolleyes: I suggest you trim one coil at a time. It's hard to add coil that you already cut. I ruined some springs this wy :scrutiny: . If you use carry mags with flat baseplate (not +something) and standard...

Fitting springs I'm under impression that those spring are 13 coils sutiable for 140mm USPSA Limited guns. If you are going to use them in carry/IPSC Standard 126mm magazines they need to be trimmed to some 11, maybe 10 coils with +1 extension pad. Thats what 90% of IPSC shooters do (we can't...

I've done checks on extractor (I use Aftec with only one spring installed), that 1911Tuner suggested: 1. Extractor barely moves when round is pushed up. When I slide round under extractor (with slide removed) it slides very easy, but it's not loose. 2. As far as I noticed extractor claw does...

Last 2 photos are actually same failure. It happened one round before last. Problems with returning to battery are usually somewhere middle in the mag, sometimes near empty. No rule here. Usually banging on slide doesn't work, but banging on magazine bottom makes round go up and slide closes to...

I'll do that checks tomorrow (it's very late evening here now) and report back. I think too much tension is not a problem, as Aftec with only one spring installed is rather weak. So it's either or bouth of other reasons. Tomorrow I'll sure have more fun experimenting with my STI ;) Second one...

I wrote, that I installed Aftec already (this is long, complicated and written in bad english post ;) ). I was forced to go down to one spring in rear hole (so least force on case rim). I have no idea what to do more in extractor area :(

Hi! First I introduce myself ;) : My name is Andy and I live in Warsaw, Poland (Eastern Europe). Since I shoot IPSC competition in my region I always wanted to own 2011 pistol. After some time of using Heckler Koch guns (I still use P2000 and P2000SK in 9mm as my carry guns as they are...
