Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Just got one for a great price at Christmas. Took it to the range for a zero check. The sights were about a foot off so needed to drift the front (which was not centered). After centering the sights, I was seriously impressed. Shot 2 groups at 25 yds off a rest. Hornady Critical Duty 135gr shot about 4” and my 147gr XTP handloads shot less than 2”. Trigger is is hard but crisp. Very impressed.
  2. How does it group. If it’s shooting 4” or less, you may not see much practical benefit on the clock. If it’s less than 3” then you definitely don’t need one. If it’s worse than 6” then go for it. One of my stock 1.0s shot 8” groups with factory ball. Apex dropped those groups to 4”. High quality reloads with Hornady bullets printed about 5”. Apex took those to 2”. I also have a 1.0 that is a consistent 5” gun and I have not put the money into changing that bbl. i just got a great Christmas deal on a shield and it printed a 2” group with those hornady XTP reloads with stock bbl. BTW - all groups shot at 25 yds.
  3. Keep your cheek down on the shotgun. Oh snap. This is a rifle post. Still good advice...
  4. The trigger parts will drop in. But the assembly has some differences, the lifter for sure and maybe some other parts. But the trigger and hammer are interchangeable for sure.
  5. I love the apex products. My advice is don't worry too much about weight. They pull in the 4-5# range but the feel is awesome. I think they roll back so smoothly. Not a glass rod single action break but very easy to shoot. I don't mind the production versions (keeping the stock articulating trigger). If you have big hands and struggle to get your trigger finger to pull straight to the rear, the FSS (forward set sear) triggers put your finger in a much different position. I like them, but I don't think it's a game changer. It's all about finger placement. YMMV.
  6. That happened with mine too. And only about 150 rounds on it.
  7. Blade Tech makes a holster with an open front that would be good. I don't think that it's much faster or slower than the one with the closed front. IMO link: http://shop.blade-tech.com/index.php?cPath=1_2_120#.WLYwyjxOKEc
  8. I've tried a Burris dovetail mount. Cheap and easy but only works with Burris.
  9. I tried my own on a stock sear. Was amazing for day 1. On day 2 it started doubling. Any advice on what I did wrong???
  10. I'm a big fan of Ready Tactical too. They are one piece of kydex shaped to give retention and a belt clip/paddle with no seams, screws or joints of any kind. Very creative. But they carry close to the body. I shoot mostly 3 gun and I keep two on my belt for the whole day since they take up so little belt space. Then I add in two blade techs in the front of my belt for stages with more pistol. Would work equally well in uspsa.
  11. Any feedback on the accuracy difference between the gunsmith fit and the semi-drop-in? I want the most accuracy I can get but I want to retain some amount of robustness. I have one lower with a stock trigger and one with an apex forward set and I would like to be able to interchange the uppers (one irons and one core) to shoot different matches - carry optics requires the stock trigger I believe. So my specific question is would a semi-drop in be a better option for reliability on multiple lowers??? And what accuracy are you getting out of a semi-drop in?
