Does anybody have a source for the uspsa target overlay gauge? The store is not currently accepting orders and I was looking for an overlay that will show the center of the bullet. thanks.

I have been using the light piston with the remington reduced 1oz loads as well.

Speaking of the Webley, anybody know of a good smith who can fix the timing on one? I have a mark 1 in 455 that needs to be fixed.

I use a 340 M&P. Very happy with the gun. I would not use something cut for moon clips. I prefer to carry with speed strips for loading since they are very flat and concealable. Speed loaders and moon clips will not conceal as well. The change pocket in your jeans is a perfect spot for speed strips with 5 rounds. Also I would suggest staying with 38 or 38 +p at most. 357 mag in those small platforms is a waste since you don't get the velocity out of short guns. I use the speer short barrel 38+p gold dot but may switch to the Buffalo Bore 150gr hard cast wad cutters once I get my hands on some. Corbon DPX also works really well but is very expensive.

No pistol grips on semi auto shotguns in NJ. Mag capacity cannot exceed 6 rounds in a semi. I do not believe putting in a limiting plug will make the gun legal because it is not a perminent modification.

Does anyone have a resource for precut grip tape for Glock 21sf's? Apparently Tru Grip is a no go now.

I'm running my vickers sling off of a tri rail with a midwest sling adapter and a 5.11 fixed stock sling adapter on the rear. The higher slind mount on the rear lets the gun hang better during transition drills.

Anybody know a smith that shortens the factory stocks or an aftermarket short stock for these guns? I couldn't find any information on it doing a search.

Can't believe I couldn't go to the match this year, damn economy. I have been regreting the decision all month.

My setup is all factory and 1 1/8oz 3 dram has been working 100%, I ran a couple of boxes of remington 1 1/8oz at 2 3/4dram as well through it without any problems. Anything less doesn't work. Also Remington reduced buckshot at 3 dram doesn't run. Now if I can find a buckshot load that will pattern good with a 9 pellet 1300fps load I'll be happy. Still trying to get a box of the federal LE127 to try.

Thought I posted mine before. Keeping it simple.

Widners has wolf large and small in stock according to website. Just placed an order and waiting for confirmation.

I hope sombody can shed some light on this. I have a 22/45 that I just started shooting after several years in the safe. Every once in a while the trigger kind of "rebounds" against my finger when the last shot is fired. Feels like somebody flicks their finger against mine. What is going on and how would you guys go about fixing it?

I would say it depends on your carry style and how motivated you are to carry. The model 19 is a little more difficult to conceal than the model 26 due to the overal height of the pistol. Since a gun is only good if you have it when you need it then you should decide what you would feel comfortable carrying all of the time. I myself find that the largest pistol I carry consistantly is a officers size 1911 and even more often a Kahr MK9. I also like to carry a spare mag hence the preference with single stack mags. Many of my co workers carry the model 27, 30, and the model 36. All of which make good defensive choices for various reasons. My vote would be a model 26 with a good belt/ holster combo for general carry. A model 36 is pretty slim and it is easy to carry a spare mag but the overal height of the gun is something to consider.

Isn't the slide release also different for the 40cal?

I'm having good results with 4.3grs of 320 and mg 124cmjs.

17rtf2. One of the newest models and you all ready have a 9mm. Could make a good backup for production division and will be easy to sell if you want.

The 180gr Speer gold dot load is a good one and has performed well on the streets in my area. Many good self defense loads are out there and gold dots always seem to be on the upper portion of the lists associtated with such ammunition. Otherwise if I was going to just pick one then I would look for a quality bonded hp design in the same grain weight you are building your 40cal loads in. Speer also makes "short barrel" offerings as well as bonded versions. As far as the reloading side of things I would load only jacketed ammo. I'm thinking regular practice not high round counts through that type of gun. I guess if you load tons of one load and prefer not to change anything then the aftermarket barrel would be a good idea.

I just wanted to give a follow up from the range today. 4.3gr gave me a average pf of 132 with a high of 133pf and a low of 130pf. 4.4gr gave an average of 134-135pf with a high of 136pf and a low of 132. I think that I will keep the 4.3 loading and chrono it once and a while when I change up primers and lots of powder. Thanks for the help.

I think I scored some primers at Natchezs but I will believe it when they are here.

I finaly saved enough to get a new 650 set up from Brian and now that it is on its way...no damn primers!

Just found out about the federal NT primers pockets the hard way last week. I bought a bunch of 9mm and now have to check every head stamp. I'm sure the guy who sold it to me didn't know any better. Can't the pockets can be opened with a reamer?

Today I chrono'd 20rds of mixed brass with federal match primers 124gr MG CMJ with 4.2grs of N320 out of my Glock 17. OAL was 1.135 and temp is about 70. Avg power factor of 127 (1025fps) with low being 125pf and the high being a 129pf. When I compared this load to the other ones that I made I found that .2grs roughly equals about 5pf. Would it be worth while for me to add another .2grs to my current load or does it sound like I am pushing the limits? I have not seen any flat primers or buldged cases but on the other hand I have yet to see anyone loading with more than 4.2grs. I would prefer to have a pf between 130 and 135. Anyone have experience with a heavier charge of n320 for that combination? Thanks

Figured I would put mine in. Not quite done yet and still missing a 650 from Brian but it will get there. One gun closet and a ammo closet.

I had a great time this year. Starting on stage 2 was tough for me and resulted in a FTE on one of the targets. I knew right away when at the end of the stage I looked down and saw one of my production mags still had two rounds in it. Another production shooter who shot after me did the same thing. I don't remember his name but he moved really well throughout the match. The RO said he did the same thing the day before by stepping just a little to far to one side. Otherwise only a mike or so the rest of the match. I did much better than I expected partly because I didn't go down expecting anything other than to have fun. On a side note does anyone know what setup Seeklander was shooting? I saw him shooting on Friday. I'm not sure if it is just his routine but when I saw him he seemed as relaxed as any human can be. Thank you to everyone involved in this years open for making it a great match!
