With my CZ, if the first shot is 15 yards or in, it is a non-issue and I just pull through. Even with an 11lbs main spring, the entire pull is smooth and around 5 lbs. If the target is past 15, I load the trigger to about 8/10th, and then complete the press. After a good bit of practice and shooting DA/SA off and on since 2013, this technique pretty much makes it a single action pull and happens pretty quickly.

N320 is prob your best bet; it works well with literally everything - light and heavy bullets, moly, plated, FMJ. I ran AA2 which is very close to N320 as far as burn rate, how it meters, how it feels. N320 is a tick cleaner and more consistent.

Have you looked at ammo makers that cater for USPSA - i.e. Freedom Munitions?

It will fill at a faster rate than FMJs but it wasn't a huge issue; many folks run Blues for open major.

You will love this new combo - having shot SS and open, I love LO with 9mm 147 gr at 130 PF. Please let us know what you end up doing for parts and labor to make this happen. I bet others would be interested in who can do a value redo of a 2011 -> LO. Thanks, Tom

I think you'll find its like riding a bike; I would shoot lim optics, carry optics or PCC to get you back in the rhythm. Those divisions allow for lots of rounds in the mag so you aren't going through lots of reloads. Aside from the previously mentioned safety DQ guidance, I would go in with a 5 to 1, alpha to non-alpha ratio. This is obviously higher than what you'll find looking at the score cards of top competitors. The logic is, mentally set a goal for hits so you're not getting frustrated or wrapped around the axel with running around the stage or having some crazy stage plan. You can ramp it up dynamically after a couple stages if you feel comfortable. Walking away from the first few matches with botched reloads and mikes will make for a tough mental ramp up back to the sport.

I've tried a few different techniques based on the guidance from expert shooters, e.g Vogel. I've found that for the support hand, it works consistently across guns if I have a contact point between my index finger knuckle and the bottom of the trigger guard. From there, I apply 85% of max strength on the support hand. For my strong hand, I've found that I have the most mobility with my trigger finger if I keep it around 60%. This is the right balance for me between adding some stability for the gun and having the finger feel 'free'.

Hey Joe, no this was just the gun; that mount may cause an issue but the was the holster is, there is some room to have some stuff underneath the rail

My first run is almost always not the best, for drills or actual stages. When doing training, I try to do the first run of a drill exactly like I would shoot it if it were in a stage in a match. This means I'm going about 85%; assigning a number means different things to different people but my 85% means I'm almost never going to have penalties and am targeting 3 or 4 to 1 A to non-Alpha ratio (shooting minor in CO/PCC). In training, that helps establish a baseline off which I can push and explore limits. For example, can I begin movement a little earlier in a tough engagement, or can I shoot a tough engagement on the way in to a position.

A couple additional data points - the ETS mags worked 100% for me in 3 guns - the Ruger PCC, MBX 9mm carbine, and my JP5. Ironically, the MBX 140mm 9mm mag does not work well in either the MBX carbine or JP5 - the mag was rubbings and doesn't fall free without modification. OEM Glock mags + Taylor Freelance basepads is what I run for classifier reloads off the belt.

I'll preface that there is no 'right' answer - what has worked for me is support hand is very firm - if 100% is the literal max pressure I can physically apply, I'm probably at 80%. For the strong hand, I grip it about 70% but I've found if I leave the pinky a little looser, my trigger finger seems to move faster and more freely.

FWIW, I use a lot of the 147 RN and FP Blues in their normal .355 offering; I tried their .356s and didn't see any difference. This was in a CZ Shadow 2.

I ran the M Carbo, I think it made a small difference; of all the mods I did, the TG9 trigger had the biggest impact. I played with different spring weights and the gun was super flat with 147 Blues and fast power - a very small charge made 132PF with very little movement of the dot.

My 92X Perf works well with my CR Speed "WSM II" Holster.
