  1. I am guessing my old caspian was a super slide, at minor it would run both just fine... at major it was kinda an either or.. I either got occasional failure to extract super comp, or failure to feed super.. Simple solution for me was to fit 2 extractors, one blued for super, one stainless for super comp.. I ended up just sorting brass, back then it wasnt hard I could see
  2. Looking at redhill page it seems the holsters are low cut in front.. IIRC seems like there was a thing about the holster having to come up past the ejection port.. Is that true in IDPA or USPSA production ?
  3. get a sharpie,,, blacken both sides of hammer,,, dry fire it a bunch, see if its rubbing on the sides, basically look it over repeat somewhere else.. its catching somewhere.

    go on ebay , buy a 40 slide, probably a dime a dozen these days, then set up a 357 sig.. make 1300 easy peasy. or just keep it 40 and run 135's.. I never saw the point of hot rodding rounds when there are so many others to chose from.
  5. looking at Redhill page they have about a gazzillion options for attachement. I will probably be threading a single heavy belt,,, I think that is still a thing in IDPA,,, would prefer a type of holster I could clamp or put on after belt is on. I have mag pouches that use the bladetec tec locks,, How do those work with a holster ? seems foot print is kinda small, Or what Red hill attachment do people like ?

    youd freak if I sent you pics of some of the stuff I see
  7. Match got rained out but prepping now so I can actually have my act together to shoot Production 15 if chance comes along, would be nice if it was IDPA legal as well. Gun runs well on grab and go factory ammo. Dug through latest rule book,,, Gun will be a XDM elite 5.25" currently has the small mag funnel,, probably have to pull that... ordered a Comptac,, as I didnt have a holster and not many 5.25"s out there.. Am I missing something ? there is no picture of a guy rigged up and I see no mention of holster or magazine holder position... Other than outward distance from belt.. Is that correct ? no more behind the hip bone ? I did have a chuckle at rule 21 and 22... No mods allowed other than whats listed,, No parts replaced other than these minor parts.. Proceed to list every mod and every part on the gun other than the frame.

    oceans,, company was doing windfarm work, not sure now
  9. Do you have any pics of the short sight on a revolver ? I have the older regular one on my 627 and will buy another optic soon.. I am using an LPA rear sight with a single rail groove,on new gun, and want to try to get an idea if the short sight will line up or not.

    I get to reverse a shoulda woulda coulda,, I left a boat I enjoyed, working for a company that was good to me to do what I thought would be near same situation for 25% more money and things didnt work out, have bounced around several companies all paying the same higher rates,, only to have my life put in danger, be lied to, and thrown under buss by bad management. Generally wishing I had never left original company. well got an email and just signed an offer from company I left,,, wondering if I was available right away. Yep still at a lower pay,, but you know , money isnt everything.. Quality of life and lack of stress can make up for alot. Having an Army pension that pays ALL my living expenses makes me pretty flexible... Any way wil have a set month on month off schedule, no more bouncing around, and can actually plan a hunt or some travel ICORE shooting matches.
  11. LOL,, yeh centered on the Keyhole the first shot left. OP Dont go overboard buying 147's.. at really low power factor some guns wont stabilize them especially the cheaper bulk plated bullets you may end up wanting to use.
  12. honestly I would learn to do it your self.. I have never used a guns smith that didnt butcher my guns.. Included ones reccommended on this page. absolutely destroyed my Hipower slides doing something as simple as installing sights. either I do it or it doesnt get done... Fitting a barrel isnt all that hard.
  13. junk test.. they used a hollow base on the 185 vs regular base on the others to make the results turn out more significant by requiring more powder than a flat base would need to reach velocity.
  14. it is what I use,, CR speed pouches on the Blade teck clip on backs. cant figure out pictures,,, But basically I bolted them to the clip in the center leaving a bit of bolt sticking out whicvh grabs belt.. adjusted tot he angle I wanted and put a split rivet in to hold it the angle..
  15. well this is mainly a gamer forum... Gp100 wont be competitive in USPSA, and putting an optic on it would put you in open in ICORE.. You couldshoot it in Limited 6 or classic.. depending on whether you run clips or speed loaders. People like big butts in ICORE on Smith frames,,, but I dont see alot of Rugers
  16. you also need to factor in powder type.. a 124 gr bullet loaded to 130 pf with power pistol will be alot harsher than the same load loaded with say AA#2 With a generally fast powder though, half a dozen of one 6 of the other.. Sights will react a bit difference, things will feel different,, but come on,, were are still talking mousefart loads in 40-50 oz guns.. People get feel preferences, but probably mostly mental and doesnt amount to much on the score board
  17. kinda whipped this up,, not a stage designer, but lets say the shooting area is 25 yards deep, example of a bad stage with no shooting challenge, only a running challenge. Track pdf Compare to shoot pdf,, nearly identical lay out with a few changes to shooting area and visjon barrier... Suddenly its a shooting challenge with several options.. track.pdf shoot.pdf
  18. did you thank Captain Obvious for that little tidbit ?
  19. I didnt like the nose heavy feel of the 929 either... I had no problem lighting off rounds, and my trigger was ok.. Although I dont mess with my triggers to the point they wont shoot anything I put in them.. If it wont light off wolff primers I have no use for it. Reloads were fine, and the flat nose factory remingtons were fine as far as bullet creep.. I was also curious about the velocity loss between a 6" revolver and the 4.5" auto. For my 686 and 627, I basically have 2 groups of moon clips, 1 size for starline brass and 1 for everything else.. I bought 1000 38 short brass that was mixed remington and Magtech,, that didnt work well in moons for starline brass., I do keep it seperate,, and only shoot the mixed brands in my 686 as they work with the generic moons I have
  20. more mismanagement nonsense... I mean for handguns we can pick up loaded mags off the ground blow the dust out, rearange full and barny mags, top off mags,, pretty much anything but put them in the gun, at any time and any place.. Why on earth do we need an entire confusing mess subset of rules for carbines or 22 handguns.
  21. check crimp on the JHP loads,, take a bullet measure OAL then push on it hard on a bench, see if you are getting bullet setback.
  22. thanks,, we should all meet at a hooters after a match.. we would all get along..
  23. Concomitant..... why I love this forum... Can feel good about getting insulted when you have to look the word up.
  24. Humm so its looking like I wont be able to fund my retirement from the 3, 22 round 40 cal 140mm mags I have
