I always change divisions when I get bored... something to mix it up... I am normally an open shooter but I just spent 6 months shooting single stack. Find something to keep it fresh.

Tuco: When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

Yep... interesting premise, faily well done. I enjoyed it.
-
Nope, haven't seen my knife either.
-
Sounds like the barrel isn't locking up in the same place with a hand cycled round as it does when fired.

Smith and FN off the top of my head make guns already machined.

Mine came in today, got a chance to handle it a little before I hit the road to go to South Carolina. Trigger sucked as I would have expected but a set of springs will help that a lot. No chamfer to speak of on the chambers so reloading will stink till I get that addressed.
Fit and finish seemed fine so I am fairly pleased with it.

Dear God how did I miss these before... I laughed so hard I almost snorted a whole cup of coffee out of my nose... there needs to be "holy crap these are funny" warning screens at the start of these things.

Ok so the last time I shot this in single stack I had 98 pts in 7.65 for 12.8105hf. Classifier calc shows that as a 76.99. If I reverse the math i'd need same points in 5.89 to get 100. I had a slow reaction to the beep on one string and a slow reload on the other. That's maybe .6/.7 I could get back, but not 1.7 but then I am not a GM (A in Lim A in Single Stack M in Open). That score is pretty close to my limited average so at least for single stack that seems reasonable?

Pictures or it didn't happen.Awesome find!
Funny . . . I opened the local news paper, yesterday, only to find a 1982 little league picture. And, who happens to be in that pic? None other than Kyle Farris!
-
I thought it was an enjoyable match, and I am glad to have finally gotten to attend. I'd like to have shot more than one stage well, but I know whose fault that is and what to do to fix it :-)
A big thanks to the people who set it up and worked it.
-
Looked at the stages today looks like tomorrow is going to be a good time.
Now if the weather guy can get the forecast right and it warms up a bit :-)
-
Leaving st louis in a few after a late breakfast. Should get to the range late this morning to check out the stages and watch some folks shoot.
-
As always the answer is an easy email away... email NROI and ask them.
-
Mine came today. Kinda ticked they went into force a couple of months before NROI/USPSA got a copy to me, but glad to have paper copy finally.
-
Shooting Friday, really looking forward to shooting my first single stack nationals. Trying to get up there thursday early enough to scope out all the stages.
-
If it were me I'd get a production gun... probably shoot limited minor for a while so that you can spend more time focusing on your shooting and less time worrying about planning your reloads. Then decide what you want to do.
-
Yep mine recoiled downward slightly too which took some getting used to. I was using n110 or h110. N110 was best but is probably unobtanium right now as is h110. You might find some 2400. I'll track down my notes tomorrow and see what I still have for load data.2400 powder. I have more info.
I ran one in open. Gun jumped the wrong way.

I tried that chocolate and peanutbutter melted in the microwave on icecream tonight. Dayum
You're welcome. Think something nice about dirtypool40 wherever he is now.
-
I have always had good luck with WST.
-
My first trip to the Single Stack Nats... I'll be shooting on Friday. Been looking forward to it for months.
-
I probably still have the load data if you need it.

Isn't 9x25 just a longer 9mm case?
Think of it as the .357 sig's louder faster more obnoxious brother.
-
To echo the above I have to ask why you want one? (I just want one is an excellent reason by the way) Many years ago I campaigned a 9x25 race gun. It was fast, flat (like no dot rise flat) and accurate. It was also uber loud, expensive to shoot (used almost 2x as much vit n110 as the powder I used for super, had to start with virgin 10mm brass to form it, the dies were like 120 buck or something crazy...) and it held less rounds (25 or 26 +1 if I remember correctly). Unless you are just chasing ultimate velocity in a 9mm from a 1911 style handgun then there are other calibers you should probably look at. Maybe consider a .357 sig if you just need a bottlenecked cartridge.
