Ruger SP101 Cylinder Problem
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 9 lety
Cylinder moves up too far after being loaded and cannot close. I do not know if this is a problem on other models of this gun.
I love that shit bro it’s fire 🔥 ❤❤❤
I have the wilson combat only thing I would like is the smaller beaver tail
How do they shoot compared to each other?
Where did you get your slide?
I sent my OEM slide to Southwest Precision Arms and had it milled then cerakoted.
2024 - this Frankenstein solution still works! It is a little taller then the Magguts 8+1, but I can get my pinky on and overall better grip
Thanks for the comment. I forgot how old this video is.
Does the new Icarus one feel cheap compared to the WC? I’ve already got the WC macro module and looking to buy the Icarus if it feels just as solid
Like the “AIR” name suggests, it feels very light. It feels good in the hand, but the Wilson feels heftier and fills my hand well with the palm swells. I prefer the Wilson in feel, but prefer the Icarus with the ergonomics. The Icarus isn’t built cheap, but it feels light and thin in the hand. Compared to what it costs to customize a standard P365 grip module, $130 for a new design isn’t a bad price to try for yourself.
I got the Icarus Precision airpolymer (xmacro), and after about 500 rounds, I can't really say I am a fan. The biggest thing I disliked is the beavertail. I have had multiple people try drawing with it vs the standard grip. Most have commented on the fact that the regular OEM grip is easier to draw. For some reason, the air polymers beavertail likes to get in the way. The other thing I dislike it the abrupt angles on the magwell. It makes concealing a little more of a pain, plus holster availability is mehh. I'll note that the OEM polymer is stiffer than the Airpolymer.
Thanks for the comment. That’s the best part about this platform. You can change everything to your liking. I am a big fan of the thinner grips, but also like the feel of the Wilson. I will be building an Sig “43X” relatively soon with the Wilson Combat. Now that you mention it, the beaver tail is noticeably angled lower than the Wilson. I can see where than can be a problem for some.
The Mischief Machine module is a fantastic upgrade ! Coming from a background of building & shooting Colt 1911's for many years the MM module [for me] is like coming home [so to speak] it's very much like a 1911 in grip angle an control placement ! I added the Armory Craft extended safety lever to my MM grip an viola I have a tool that required very little getting used to because my muscle memory is already tuned to this set up , so in training it didn't take me long to become proficient /i didn't have to relearn much if anything ! The modularity of the P356 platform is awesome ! New sub...great video/content !
I have high praise for the Commander as well. I recently decided to let it go for something else. What I noticed when shooting is that the beveled end on the beaver tail was digging into the webbing of my hand and was uncomfortable to shoot. The G10 panels were also aggressive on my skin when carrying, which I could have alleviated with new panels, but had to shell out around $60-$80 for. Lastly, I just felt I had to ditch the extra weight as it was my ccw. It is a fine module indeed, but not for me unfortunately. Thank you for the comment.
Sorry I can't take you seriously since neither of your grip modules have a mag release button installed. 🤨
That’s ok, I’m waiting on my new release to arrive and took the old one out of the Icarus. I shelved the Wilson for the time being and removed that one as well. Still debating on keeping that module around.
@@MorbisDraconis Some new mag release buttons don't include the tiny spring so removing the old button before the new one arrives you risk possibly losing that spring. I hope you ordered an extended mag release button? 👍🏽😁
@@davidhudson2527 Thank you for the comment. I’m well aware of about the exclusion these companies partake in of not sending a complete set. I have my OEM parts ready when the new extension arrives.
I was wondering how the fitment is with an extended mag release?
@@oddballgunman5288 I believe most of the extended mag releases will work just fine with either module. I have the Tyrant Designs mag release on the Icarus currently with no issues. The Align Tactical, which is offset, may be present an issue, but I have not personally tested it. I had that mag release on the Mischief Machine Commander which was the perfect combination.
Good vid bud. I really like the look and feel of the wilson grip. I'm going to get it for mine. Just subbed to support my fellow 2A brotha. Are you in NY or CA?
Thank you for your comment. I do really like the feel of both, especially the palm swell of the Wilson Combat. I am located in NJ. This is my first Sig I’ve owned so I went with the build your own route.
What's 48 exactly basically a 19 fram with a 17 slide?
It’s a 43x frame with a 19 length slide. The silhouette matches that of a 19, but the thinness of a 43.
For me, just get the MagGuts +2 and problem is solved with NO jamming a slide while at Battery, charges smooth and is reliable to the last. I have large hands and the MagGuts base is less than the Pierce +1. I have no problems on the draw or maintaining grip control and conceals extremely well, better than the Pierce +1. JAMMING THE TOP ROUND DOESN’T WORK!
Definitely agree with you. A lot has come out in the past 7 years since this video was made.
A lot of people shoot guns over and over and don’t clean them, or have a pro clean them. If a Ruger SP101 or GP100 has a minor issue like that it’s dirty in cylinder latch hole and underneath the star ejector because those guns are the tanks of revolvers.
I definitely don’t think that’s the issue. I shot it twice before noticing and only put 50 rounds through both times. I clean my guns after every shoot. The gun was brand new with only 100 rounds through it. It’s only a minor issue in the long run and will only happen with that particular speed loader. I’ve had the gun for 10 years now and still runs great.
I had my speed loaders for so long they start to go bad they wont release the bullets as easy itll take a little extra force pushing down on the loader to let the rounds out that could be why your having to push it so hard to get the bullets out while also pushing your cylinder forward
So once’s I get the threaded barrel I just put it on that’s it ? And have you got any jams ?
You have to remove the comp or thread protector before inserting the barrel into the slide. Then you can attach what you want back on the barrel. I have not had any malfunctions with this setup.
I would imagine inserting that fully loaded mag with the slide forward would be pretty hard and racking the slide even harder. There is no free lunch.
Just bought a glock 48 for my first gun and I wanna change the barrel out to something similar like this, should I buy anything else so that the guns performance doesn’t go down btw does changing out parts ruin the performance?
Stock Glocks in general are reliable handguns that never require modification. It’s going to come down the preference. Sometimes changing out factory parts can lead to reliability issues. Really depends on your preference for ergonomics like an extended mag release or extended slide stop. You can never go wrong with a good set of sights. The oem barrel I would never change out unless I’ve put more than the life expectancy of rounds through it. If you want to just change out the barrel you’d be fine with everything else stock if that’s your preference.
About to get the micro comp for my 43x looks 🔥🔥🔥
You’ll definitely notice a difference when shooting it with the comp 👍.
What are those sights do you have a link by chance 👀
They are the XS Big Dot sights. I bought mine off of Amazon.
Did you put your finger on the cylinder through the window?
Looks like a hot glue gun 😅
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great video bro answered my exact question.
Did you have to change recoil springs with the micro comp?
Nope, guns runs flawless with the factory spring.
MorbisDraconis, thanks for making this video. I’m going to put one of these together and test it, even if only for range use. One question: What tool did you use to trim the Pearce internal base plate?
Brad Layton It’s been a long time since I made this video and I can’t recall what I used. I remember the plastic being pretty thin so you could probably trim it off with a simple box cutter.
Looks like shit
There’s no way that isn’t a nerf gun 😭
Seems like too much jam for me
How much you spent She pretty
Around $500 for the changes I made. Some may say that putting more money into your gun like that is a waste, but for me, I want my off duty carry to be perfection.
@@MorbisDraconisI hate when people say that mind your business this is bad ass
I thought about doing this before i saw or heard of it . But , I wouldn't trust my life with it untill it passed an EXTENSIVE ! range test .
I have a couple these in my ETS G43 magazine with a hyve extension +3. 10rounds easily
Ooooo thats interesting, which +3 base plate did you get?
Interesting .. My SP works with Safari 5 shot 357 ...Why???
Your cylinder crane pivot pin is binding in the frame or your gun is just dirty. Clean debris from the pin bore or locate the burr and polish it off so the pin is free to slide in and out of the bore. The cylinder assembly is spring loaded and should snap back by itself to a position that it will clear the barrel forcing cone when you close the crane.
I run a +1 with the Pearce extension on my shield. No modification needed. 8 rd cap.
Yep the gun has a problem.
Push down hard on cylinder and hold, mine does same thing. Let go and mine goes back. Your gun might be dirty as f
Either it’s the gun isn’t right which I find hard to believe. I’m on my 3rd sp101. Ive had the 2inch sold it 3 inch sold it and I just bought another one. Never had an issue with any of em. Try the cheaper hks you twist the rounds into chamber
Mag still working in 2018?
would it work if i had maggot that added two rounds plus the pearce grip?
kevin paragas This setup is already a very tight fit, so I don’t think the plus 2 would be compatible.
Thanks for trying this. I had heard this worked, but that for sure looks too tight. Never know unless you try right! Thanks!
with the glock 43 i would not go past the 7 round limit. Just because 8 will go in does not mean its good for the spring and mag body.
I'm not getting the wasted Money on the Magguts ? So you can jam 8 in the Mag? Instead of just doing the +1 extension and dropping the Mag to add the +1. Then it's definitely fully functional. I have 2 and have never had an issue.
Ed Hlavaty I agree with you. I don't use this setup and definitely do not recommend it to anyone. This was something I just tried out. I personally do use the magguts in the oem magazine, and it works flawlessly.
If you use the taran tactical +1 baseplate with the magguts you can get a better fitting 8+1
OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im supposing that 8+1 is outta the question then? I imagine it will never seat nor cycle.
CLplusP Yes, that's just one too many.
This is 8 in plus one chambered that hes showing on the video
I bet it doesn't work when you insert it on a closed slide. Than eighth round booked tight.
There is a great place for this setup. IN THE GARBAGE!!!!
Dave Butch You're probably right and I wouldn't trust using this platform regularly. Just an experiment on my end.
Grand, I’m going to put one of these together and test it. Where in the mag is the guide tab you mentioned? And what did you use to trim the spring? Thanks.
I did this same thing and was able to get 8 rounds in the mag. But with this combo, and a 9th round in the chamber, the increased pressure on the same didn't allow the slide to reciprocate, eject the spent shell, and load the next round. Instead, I just got an empty brass in the chamber and no ejection. Granted, this was my experience with Glock 42 and I haven't tried it with the 9mm power of the G43.
have you left the Magguts & Pearce grip loaded to capacity for about 6 months to see if the spring still work properly
Awesome - I have the magguts spring on my flush mag, and a pearce +1 on the other - I was just about to buy another mag and a taran tactical +2, but I may have to try this now - I noticed that it did not work with the unmodified lock plate, as you pointed out. Has this continued to be reliable for you? How many rounds do you have through it at this point?
Still just the 100 that I originally tested. I have gone back to the flush plate, I pocket carry most of the time and it fits a little better that way.
old video, but , it ain't the speedloader screwing up,!, it's the gun !!
my sp101 does not bind up like that. send it back to ruger they'll fix it
That'll definitely be my next course of action.
You should contact Ruger. I have this exact same gun and my cylinder will not stay locked forward unless I force it to. My cylinder will move a little but it springs back immediately as long as it is all the way open. It will only lock forward if I start closing it before it springs back, and even then I have to keep it pushed forward to make it interfere with closing. It sounds like this is a problem that may be unique to only some batches of these models, in which case Ruger will help you resolve the issue. From my experience they have excellent customer service. I would be shocked if they didn't fix it for free.
I have heard the same about their customer service being great as well as Ruger fixing the problem and some. I'll definitely contact them to get it resolved.
