Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Fiocchi (sp) used to make good dummy rounds but I haven't been able to find them in stock. Be careful to remove real cartridges out of the room/area when practicing as their slugs look very similar with the same shell color
  2. I agree with the comments regarding the 9mm. I'd go with a 9mm for self defense. Even Phoenix PD opened the option to their officers with a specific type of ammunition. As far as competition it is a good Production Division gun. When you get into the other divisions in USPSA you have to consider power factor and the fact there are 2011 platform you are competing against
  3. For lubrication I now use Slip 2000 EWL (extreme weapons lube) after using Clenzoil, Gun Butter and Frog Lube. Living in a dry area I haven't been too concerned with corrosiveness but a fellow shooter sent me this recently, and off subject because it is not directly related to Italian products. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/05/22/comprehensive-corrosion-test-46-products-compared/
  4. I try to wear pants that have the same waist drop. It makes indexing the holster draw easier for me
  5. Montana Gold 124 gr JHP for 9major but don't know about GLOCK bore tolerance
  6. I shoot SS Minor with an STI Trojan 9mm and Tripp Mags. Gun runs great. I own the Spartan in 9mm and .45 ACP. All guns had a little internal "smoothing" and Tripp chromed/coated the Spartans. Added Super slim VZ grips and short curved triggers. Pretty accurate and the slide to frame fit is great on all. I can't stand a gun that rattles which I've felt at times with a Kimber
  7. I agree, not too concerned about a build too close to home. Tripp built my 2011 years ago and I live in a different state. I've sent my gun back to him once in 7 years for a matter my competent local gunsmith could not figure out when I went full auto. Virgil knew exactly the problem just explaining the issue on the phone.
  8. I'm here at the Miculek's and trained with both strong / weak hand loads from 4 she'll caddies. You have to know how to do this so don't discount one for the other. Learn both. Lena trained me for the 2-shell backbone reload. I will practice all of them. I like the Nordic/AP and Safariland caddies + the Carbon Arms backbone. I'm small so anywhere I can put shells on my person with practice.
  9. I bought my very first bolt rifle. A Remington 700 chambered in .308 WIN; 5-R MilSpec barrel. I know nothing about precision rifle but thought I'd learn. I'm not a big hunter but a little curious about the fascination of distance accuracy shooting. I went out on a limb. Literally hosting Sig Sauer Academy to instruct a Precision Scoped Rifle course in Arizona this September. Anyway, if this is posted in the wrong area of the forum, forgive me, move me, tell me. But I'll need some interest so that I can fill the course. I've got detailed info if you want to PM me. Tucson, AZ, 3-days / 24 hours and a challenging course where the wind blows in 3 directions. LE/civilian/Military.
  10. You are doing great. I've had a lot of friends that continue to help me and I pay a lot of that forward. Just keep shooting. It sounds like the fun is still there too.
  11. Oops. Brainfart. 9mm. Recoil spring 12.5lbs for a .40, 9mm would definitely be less.
  12. There is no shortage of USPSA GMs in Arizona that one can observe and that help shooters. There are 28+ at Rio Salado alone. Imagine that.
  13. I was helping a new shooter pick out their first STI and recommended the Eagle with a bushing so they could shoot both games. That way she can buy "legal" gear for both sports too. She wanted a Ghost Holster and then I told her she would have to buy an additional holster for IDPA. She bought a Blade-Tech with the Stingray belt attachment from me. Learning equipment and gear is difficult because one is so immersed in all the other stuff they have to learn for a game!!! Seriously, some folks don't even understand power factor in the beginning.
  14. No need to reinvent the wheel, glad to help. I have a lot of different types of gear for the ELS belt system. I'm using the QLS kits for my holsters. It's a larger receiver and fork.
