STI Edge advice?

[randy Thompson]

you need to get off the internet and go shoot otherwise youll be catching racked rounds pretty soon.

Ive been at work all day otherwise i would be but i need to be shooting my glock instead of playing with the 2011 since ill be shooting the block still in matches until i get everything set up and ready to run the STI

Hey, easy on the racked rounds, I don't like bending over and picking stuff up around my group of shooters.

I've seen the guys you run with, that could be dangerous.

I deactivate mine because they all lock the slide back with a round still in the mag. I want full benefit of my mag capacity, so I grind the slide stop nubs off of my followers.

I'm thinking about changing to a one piece guid rod and 7or8lb spring in my edge. thoughts? suggestion? recommendations? I have the recoil master in it now

 

[Robaire Pullicar]

Must be 9mm cause that seems LIGHT

 

[randy Thompson]

yes its a 9mm

 

[randy Thompson]

i went with the dawson tool less guide rod and got the 7&8lb springs to try

 

[benny hill]

that heavy of gun with a 7# recoil spring would cycle so slow, you could have coffee sips between shots.

I caught my own racked round once... I was 16 or 17 and my dad was the RO. He gave me the unload and show clear command and I was trying to look cool like the guys on TV (before YouTube) and jacked the round out and caught that motherfucker like a bad ass! He immediately stopped me and said " don't ever do that, you look like an idiot". Still stands today and still makes give me a giggle every time I see it happen.

i LIKE 11'S W STOCK SLIDE 9'S

 

[mike cyrwus]

Sorry for the caps

 

[benny hill]

10-11 lb. Down side to edge is muzzle dip going into battery. Have mike lighten up the slide.

How about with a lightened slide (~10oz)?

 

[benny hill]

11#. I run a 12# in my lightened 6"

 

[chase214]

I run a #9 in mine the slide has been lightened though

 

[randy Thompson]

I want to have a rail cut and have it lightened before long

 

[benny hill]

slide should be in the 11-12 oz range. Lighter and it can open prematurely and round off the lugs on barrel and slide. Have seen this on a lot of race guns.Also light springs will let a lightened slide open to soon
