[Major 9mm OAL]

I load mine to 1.142 - G17 Open S&JCustoms, Zero 125 JHP

[Haven't got my Front Sight magazine yet.......]

Mine came but had about 10 or so pages duplicated and a the same amount of pages missing! Had to read an article when you have the start and not the end and vice versa. Anyone else have the same problem?

Love it!

How many cases can you get into a 5 gallon bucket? I am envious

[Thinking about a G17 for USPSA Production]

BT lists 2 different models for the 17 vs the 34. Since the trigger guard stops it from dropping further, the 34 holster should work for a 17.

[Got my new 686 SSR today]

One of these days, I'm going to have to get myself a wheel gun

Clear Boxes with lids works for me. Make sure that they are the same sizes as it is easier to stack.

[My first USPSA match/great weekend...]

Good to meet you this weekend. I also had a couple of problems of my own.

Stage 1: My gun hard jammed after shooting all A's except for the last 2. On clearing, we found a little bulge on that little 9mm round.

Stage 2: I was shooting production for the 1st time and with ony 3 map pouches, I stuck the 4th magazine in my pocket. On the make ready command, I loaded from the rear mag pouch and when I needed the last mag, I forgot that it was in my pocket!

It was still a blast. See you next time.

[G34..........]

I have both. The longer barrel gives it a little more velocity. The slide cutoff feels like it cycles quicker but I don't think it feels softer. The nice thing is that if you have a G35, you can build a G34 to the same spec and shoot 9mm. Alternatively, you can drop in a 9mm barrel to the G35.

[New to me SVI Infinity]

That's a smoking hot deal

[my new Limited Blaster]

Congrats! Fine piece of art

[KKM 9mm barrel]

I have a KKM on my G17 Open 9mm built by SJ Customs. With 125gr, it too shoots 1 ragged hole (only when I do my part which is not often the case)

[bad 9mm brass!]

HP for Hirtenberger Patronen in Austria: Feeds great on my 9x19 open but the primer pockets are inconsistent when new and unfired. They need to be reamed as some are extremely tight with Win Small Pistol primers. Some are quite loose and should be discarded.

[How much needed to spend to shoot open]

Hmm, for me it's more fun than playing golf...;-)

I bought a Bedell Shorty 38 SC after only doing it for a a few months. It is expensive especially if you take into account what else you need to get. Adding a few "tuned" magazines will set you back a song. When I ordered the Bedell, I also ordered a SJC Custom 9mm open built on a Glock 17. It's much cheaper to shoot and maintain.

[9mm Starline Brass]

Correction, the brass was not Starline as I thought. I reached a got a bag of brass, turned out that these were new Hirtenberger 9mm brass. The primer pockets are not uniform, some are tight and others are loose.

I have some Starline and they are far more consistent.

[After market barrel OK for Stock?]

Thanks a bunch!

[After market barrel OK for Stock?]

How about USPSA?

[After market barrel OK for Stock?]

Are these legal for Stock classifications? I seem to be getting conflicting information on this. Thanks in advance.

[9mm Starline Brass]

I just got in 2k of 9mm Starline Brass and have noticed that some are very tight and needs to be reemed by a primer pocket tool while others are fine. I estimate that about 20% are tight and 5% very tight.

I also got 2k of 40SW Starline brass and they are fine (random check of 20 cases). Anyone with this exerience? I would expect that the chrono will show a wide extreme spread and high SD on the 1st 150 rounds that I loaded with the Dillon 650. I had go over them with a hand held primer seating unit to get them flush. This did make me a little nervous since it is a loaded round.
