Yeah, the SME rides pretty low. Even with the taller belt loops that John sells, it is right on the edge of my being able to have a full grip on the pistol without hitting knuckles. I have...
I know it’s not the topic of the thread, but are you, in your testing, controlling for ride height? I’ve spent a lot of time on a timer over the years playing with a variety of Kydex and leather...
Looks like a good step up for them. Dig the availability of the larger dots. Not necessarily a fan of the DPP footprint choice, but…
I bought my dad a cherry NA model Miata a bunch of years ago for Father’s Day. It has some suspension mods and a roll cage added. The custom work was done at Flyin’ Miata. If you haven’t seen their...
You might play with using a heavier bullet. Smith recommends not using less than a 120 grain projectile in their scandium .38/.357 revolvers as it exacerbates bullet pull issues. That said, I shoot...
I’d tend to agree with Outpost in suspecting this is probably largely a software issue to be remedied with diligent perfect 🙃 repetitions of dry practice.
With heavier DA triggers, there can be...
The different triggers in the Kahrs is news to me. I own an early version P9 I carried as a bug for a lot of years from the early 2000s. I own a newer P9 (4ish years old?) and similar vintage PM9...
A less expensive and more versatile route might be just installing a rail section on the receiver and using the factory low micro mount that came with your Aimpoint. I have an EGW rail on an 870,...
I own an MOS SCS and I’m quite a fan. I’m about 4K down range with it and I’m confident enough that I’m using it on a work pistol. It DOES cowitness with stock height Glock sights. My understanding...
Yes. Arguably it's more of an issue with the older breech block guns. Also, if, while you're tapping the pin back in, you are met with any resistance, realize the firing pin notch may be partially...
I'm be leaning toward the mainspring system too. I'd put the stock weight one back in with the correct seat and strut and confirm function. It it ignites 100% then you can dabble with a lighter...
Some questions and thoughts in no particular order…
Was the gun vetted and reliable with the same ammunition before said tinkering? What ammunition? What primers?
Are the FTFs only happening...
Pull-ups are still a part of my daily fitness regiment. Typically just a couple sets of 15. I always reached a plateau around 18-20 reps. And doing more volume never seemed to allow me to break...
It’s definitely the bore axis. 😂
A DA/SA X5 (ie- the X5 allround) lower is “plug and play” as you say, with any of the standard 4.4” 9mm 226 uppers. The dust cover will simply extend to the end of the slide, very similar to the...
I modified a standard 226 slide stop lever a few years ago such that I can releases it over the top of the safety on a SAO 226. I also run extended stops on my 1911s to achieve the same ability. But...

Amnesty eform submitted on 2-13-23. Returned last week on 9-25-23.
Here’s a bit of a play by play and some of the rationale of John’s first “knuckle clearance” modification on the SME. As an aside, it’s still my primary off duty carry holster to this day.

The great majority of my paddling time has been spent in river/whitewater kayaks. However our family owns two L.L. Bean Manatees, which are manufactured by Perception then rebranded. Ours are a...
I was typing while Clusterfrack was posting apparently. But for good natured humor sake…
George,
Shoot A’s/zeros as fast as you can. Make up called Cs/down 1s if you can do so within a...
I have an early version JM for my 239 that I still use some. But as you mentioned it doesn’t look like he’s still doing that model. I also have a TT Gunleather appendix rig for 226 that I like and he...
I noticed the DAO verbiage when you posted the listing in the other thread and wondered if you were getting a DAK or a DAO. If you’re ever looking to swap the DAK parts out for DA/SA ones, there...
Copy. Fwiw, mine didn’t initially appear to be either. But was, just slightly, on the two little raised protuberances on either side of the sight channel.
Anyway, good luck sussing it out.

No experience with those pistols in particular, but I have some with both mentioned holsters. Possible it's optic related? I've had some issues with a couple Holosuns and the SROs not allowing the...
