Then semi autos are not for you. Buy revolvers.

I'm sorry but I don't understand your suggestion. There are many reputable semi autos available with fully supported chambers that members here on CGN like, such as the S&W M&P, HK USP, etc.

I realize that a fully supported chamber doesn't correct ammunition issues, but it doesn't hurt from a safety stand point. I've read articles about reloading component companies only recommending using their products in fully supported chambers

The only drawbacks I've read about fully supported chambers is reliability in feeding, however this doesn't seem to be an issue with the M&P, USP, etc. Therefore I don't believe there's anything wrong with have a personal preference for fully supported chambers.

Update

Took it to the range today. Ammo used - my own rolls lead 230 gr, infamous factory reloads. Btw, i've installed 18.5 pound Wolf spring in the middle. Totaly about 100-120 rounds. 50 factory reloads and the rest my rolls.
All went OK. Those factory reloads are VERY HOT. Guy next to me was shooting his Kimber Custom 2 stainless and I've asked him to compare 2 of those rounds with his factory Winchester. They felt significantly hotter to him and much louder. So, I am staying away from now on from this f**ktory reloads

And XO feels much better with this Wolf spring.

Cheers.

P.S. And the picture of troublemaker.

Hi fellow CGN'er!

Those are exceptionally high quality macro pics! The first one of the case is literally the best close up I've seen on CGN

Can I assume DSLR and Macro lens?

Yep. Nikkor 105 micro on D4

So, most likely is the overcharge in this case?

X2 , also bad cases .

x3 Bad Case + Hot Load. Simple.

OP, look at the primer. It definitely looks high pressure (see how flat it is.)

I never trust reloads that I haven't done myself. I certainly never push the envelope in brass I don't know the history of.

Here's a bad case; note that the primer isn't flattening (again, the primer on PAGE1 is very flat indicating a "hot load".)

Cheers~

Damn ###y pics.

I was looking at getting the Sig 1911 XO myself. Cabelas had the best price but go figure they're backordered now.
