Conducted another testing session today. Same equipment as previously listed. Ransom Rest insert modified slightly to provide more room for the slide. All shots were loaded and fired one at a time rather than inserting a magazine of 5 rounds. Loads tested today were Brazos 78RN .312, TB 78RN .312, a...

Below are the results of 32 ACP load tests on Monday, April 7th. Caveats/issues: • Gun is a MatchGuns MG4 32 S&WL modified with a Shilen .311 barrel and different extractor to grasp the smaller 32 ACP rim. Modifications built by Eulette Precision. • An old Hoppe’s Pistol Rest was used as a rest....

I shot an 1800 match on Saturday, scored a guy shooting Pardin's in both 22 and center fire. His score only dropped 3 points between 22 and CF. He finished 3rd on 22, but is CF the top 2 guys dropped 17 and 18 points with there 45acp guns. So he want from 3rd to 1st. If you have greater aspirations...

You raise excellent and very valid points. The best argument for the type of pistol for bullseye competition has become, and will likely remain, the 1911 frame. With a 1911 22 conversion for the Rimfire aggregate and the .45 for both the centerfire and 45 aggregates, the competitor has essentially t...

It would be great IF Nelson figures it all out and ultimately produces a 1911 32 ACP conversion. It would require a different magazine like some of those for the other 1911 variations such as the 9mm/38 Super. Don't know about the 38 Special version. Never had or seen one. Have read that there were ...

IF the AW93 spring would work, it would be the earlier model spring - before serial number 20000. I don't think the later model spring (after serial number 20000) comes separately but is rather fixed to the rod. Best to check with Pilkguns to see if they have them and if the early model spring will...

I suppose if there was a chart that listed felt recoil of all calibers in all pistols that included all possible variations (grip types, compensators, loads, competitor body mass, etc.), then 38 Super would probably be listed as having more felt recoil than the 32 ACP. How much more? Certainly not s...

"What I'd like to see is someone build a .32acp blowback conversion for a 1911...sort of like a Nelson or Marvel conversion. The magazines could be based on Nighthawk Custom's .30 super carry mags (hopefully someone starts copying them, since Nighthawk wants a ton of money for them)." Perh...

Date: 17MAR24 Location: Fairfax Rod and Gun Club, Walsh Range (Bullseye range) (in what would be called a “holler” in Kentucky) (https://www.fxrgc.org/) Temp: 68, no wind, partly cloudy Time: noonish Pistol: MatchGuns MG-4 (32 S&WL) with a Eulette 32 ACP conversion barrel (Shilen .311) and extra...

Bad day at the range. Ransom Rest insert caused problems with feeding and pistol kept doubling. Everything worked great last week with the same ammo. ??? Chrono shot craps. Ordered a new one and will go with the old Hoppe's pistol rest (model 3000?). Will try again Saturday.

Now have a MatchGuns MG-4 insert for my Ransom Rest. The weather this week looks great. Starting tomorrow, I will begin testing. The MG-4, initially a 32 S&W L, has an ACP conversion system (Shilen 0.311 barrel and different extractor) designed and built by Jon Eulette. I have several loads that...

Thanks for the clarification of your earlier post with specifics. Obviously, the T&B 64 SWC is working well for you. Good luck with the conversion.

I'm still using mine. It's a SWLWC frame with an ACP top end. I bought it that way, used, from the original owner. It's biggest problem is the magazine falling out in the middle of a string (seriously!). I need to get a new Rink grip for it, then I'll be using it again. Having thought about these r...

Very interesting, indeed. What kind of shooting do you participate? If bullseye, I imagine that it would be a real problem during sustained courses of fire. You would run out of refire opportunities real quick. If not bullseye, I guess it wouldn't really matter. What kind of pistol is it? Is the mag...

Thanks for the response. Assuming from it that you have a Pardini HP. Was it obtained as an ACP or was it converted from a S&WL? I wonder if there are other pistols that were ACP or have been converted from S&WL to ACP. The Matchguns MG4 is one other available. About 20 years ago, David Sams...

Several years ago, there were numerous posts regarding the 32 ACP in the Pardini HP. That seems to have stopped. Why? Did folks find the perfect load for the 32 ACP in the Pardini HP and quit posting/discussing as a result? Or was it a effort in futility trying to replace the 45 in bullseye centerfi...

Just received new springs for the 22 & 32 from Champion's Choice. Both are 4.5" in length. Previously, those ordered a few years ago were 4.25".

Several years ago, my GSP Expert broke the ejector. Discussions with Earl at Earl's Repair (Walther dealer in SW Virginia & Mass.), I was told that the reason for that was that my loads were too hot. Loads with the stock barrel were in the 1.8 grains range of Bullseye, Solo 1000, 231, Titegroup,...

You don't mention where you are located or where you purchased your MG2E. If you are in the U.S., then you should contact the U.S. importer, Kangbin Chua, who is located in the LA, CA area. (MatchgunsUSA@hotmail.com). He has been extremely helpful with anything and everything regarding my MG2 EVO Ra...
