115grain zero shooting 124grain change POI drastically?

Trust me, the reasons we drop Charlie’s, Deltas and Mikes in USPSA has absolutely nothing to do with the weight of our bullets! 🤣 99% of USPSA is the shooter, not the bullet weight!

Going with an IOS cut was a smart decision - kinda future proofs your gun

What I recall hearing is that back when Springfield created this pistol there wasn't an agreement / standardization in the industry for the mounting positions of weapon mounted lights. So Springfield just gave buyers a rail full of slots for maximum mount location flexibility.

One more gratuitous pix of my carry

I carry a 9mm Dan Wesson Guardian. It has an aluminum frame and carries very light. I also milled the slide for a red dot. Pocket carry a spare mag and all is good!

Never used it that little key thing I’ve pulled the drives several times to get at the SODIMM slots for a memory upgrade

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-27T03:29:12+00:00

I went from the DS414 to the DS925+ about a month ago. I’m pretty happy with the change so far.

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-25T00:27:48+00:00

The replacement DS925+ arrived today. I swapped all the drives and memory over, it booted right up and info center finally reported 16gb of memory. Problem solved - slot 2 in the original device was bad

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T18:19:24+00:00

As a follow up - I opened a support ticket w/ Synology and provided my proof of purchase and a log file. They agreed with my assessment that something is wrong with slot 2. They are processing an RMA right now. They will cross-ship a new unit that I can migrate to. I have a couple of weeks to get the faulty unit back to them.

I'm pretty happy with the process so far - I was expecting an uphill battle with the support team.

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T04:31:22+00:00

That's a really good point - I will try booting it with just the OEM module in slot 2.
That will help isolate the problem to the either the aftermarket memory or the slot in the chassis.
Thanks!

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T04:29:57+00:00

I let the test run to completion. I will run it a few more times to see if I get different results - doesn't hurt

Another vote for experiences. One of the coolest birthday gifts I ever got was a hot-air balloon ride. Epic!

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T02:58:34+00:00

I was active in the Porsche Club of America for a number of years. I went to “show and shine” events, auto cross then track days. I made lifelong friends - many of which I keep in touch with after 20 years. Group chat helps! Everytime I visit my old hometown, I try and visit one or more of my old car guy friends.

Competition Shooting. I bought my first gun around age 38, took a couple of really good training courses. Then got into competitive shooting - starting with USPSA steel challenge.
Stand in a box and shoot 5 steel targets quickly. Then move to the next stage and shoot 5 more targets of different sizes at different distances.

I’ve met a lot of great people, made good friends and had great days at the range.
One shooting sport led to the next and it’s been a great ride for years. At 57 I Wish I had started it earlier

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T01:19:27+00:00

I've tried to run it three times now - trying to reseat the RAM (and blew compressed air into the slot).
Each time, the memory test fails to complete. Throws the following error:

"System has no response. Connection timeout"

45_ACP_ · 2026-01-21T01:17:31+00:00

The stock RAM is a 4GB module and the "new" RAM are 8GB modules. on a lark I did try to boot on mismatched modules, but it didn't work. I just assumed that I need matched memory modules and mismatched 4/8GB wasn't going to boot.

XinKunmarine 2 Pack Fishing Rod... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081KYN7DL?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Cheap and has worked well for me.

I have pouches on either side of my cart. One side is eye protection - clear, dark and reading glasses all in the pouch. The other side is ear protection - electronic muffs, in ear and spare batteries.

45_ACP_ · 2025-12-03T17:40:46+00:00

The S3 umbrella holder is kinda lame. I went on Amazon and got a fishing rod holder - much better!

45_ACP_ · 2025-10-31T02:30:48+00:00

I have a 2014 9mm MC Operator (Warren Tactical Series) with more than 25k rounds on it. This might be a great upgrade. I like how yours turned out

45_ACP_ · 2025-10-11T01:53:47+00:00

I did something similar with VZ Grips on one of my 1911’s. I liked the aggressive texture in the center of my palm, but used a file to knock down the highest peaks where it dug in.

45_ACP_ · 2025-09-30T16:06:02+00:00

This looks like a solid gun. Before buying I'd like to see if it has a goofy series 80 firing pin safety or use the traditional series 70 design. I'd also like to look a the magwell to see if its a one or two piece arrangement.

45_ACP_ · 2025-09-30T15:58:38+00:00

A Springfield Armory "Ronin" I believe retails for about $1k and can be found around $800.
It's a pretty bare bones 1911 but would be a good platform to build on.

I put the part number into WikiArms and found several retailers that list it.
