I'm switching back to production! I would like to shoot one of these!

I get the thought process behind this but now your changing what the match would normally be to something that screws over PCC. So, that does affect everyone else. To me, a normal USPSA match is not the same as a USPSA match that's set up to put PCC at a disadvantage. Who cares if they finish HOA in the combined, unsorted results?! Before PCC, did you design stages to put open shooters at a disadvantage? Probably not.

PCC dudes bragging about winning HOA at a club match is lame! Just like if an open shooter does it. "Congratulations,.... You're using gear that is a huge advantage. You should beat shooters using less advantageous gear"! I shoot open BTW.

Why would anyone worry about fill rate for 9 minor?

Maybe a tenth of a grain variation. You can't see the difference between a tenth. I loaded up 400 rounds of ammo last night. As I was doing it, I could tell which case was a Hornady and which was a Xtreme. Just by looking.

Good question. It was all done using my RCBS Chargemaster 1500.

I've seen them. It's legit. Try to get it stuck in there sideways. It won't. I've never had a mag get hung up(knock on wood) so I haven't gotten one.

I'm not seeing any of the extreme to be stepped.

I was working up some loads and I noticed that some brass has more room inside the case than others. I took a pic. All brass is range pick up. All have been processed on my 650. Powder is 10.0 gr AA7 Left to right (Hornady, Speer, Win, Xtreme) Basically, Hornady has more room than most and Xtreme has the least. All the other brands seem to be about the same. Loading 7.0 WAC and there's no problem. If I want to load AA7 I guess I'll need to sort brass. Unfortunately, the last box of mixed brass I got was full of Xtreme! I measured the length of these cases and they all were around the same. I guess it's due to case thickness?

I thought the SA pull had a ton of creep on the two I dry fired. Anyways, I was trying to encourage the OP to try a hammer spring swap since it seems he doesn't want to do a trigger job. The Lim pros have one piece Sears, that may help too.

Hammer spring change is cheap and fairly simple. The current IPSC world/USPSA national champ's trigger on his tanfo sucks! Hammer spring is enough to get the trigger ready to run!

My load is 4.3gr of BA9.5 , for a 124 gr Xtreme rn @ 1.150". This got me 131 pf at Area 4 Chrono out of my Glock 34. I'd start at 4.1 for a 124 coated.

I shoot at this range monthly. I've never noticed any problems! My favorite match every month. This match will be like an area level match! Chad puts on killer matches!

BA 9.5 is the poo! I love it! About to order 10 more bottles. Though, sport pistol is probably easier to find locally if you ever need to buy a bottle to hold you over until you can order some.

Is there any resource (e.g. books, podcast,) out there geared specifically towards open?

Nope! I switched a while back because of it. I really liked both! I use 9.5 for 9mm now. It's great! However, I'll probably switch from that as well. Don't want to be pissed off for a 3rd time.

Why? Glock is like Toyota, Jeep and iPhone. They do small changes. Then act like they reinvented the wheel. .25" slimmer and holds 5 less rounds. Wow! So amazing!

Stock needs to include recoil spring and hamer spring change. All the other stuff is nice but not needed to ball!

I had to read this a couple of times. I mean, this is the internet, and there are people out there that look for reasons to get pissed off about anything they can. Ha.

I've wondered if my comp is ineffective? I'll try again when I get me new gun with the binary comp.

I loaded up some more rounds this weekend. I did 124 gr PD JHP with 10.0 gr Major Pistol. I can't tell a difference between this or any other load. I've shot several different loads multiple times now and can't feel a difference. Don't know if that's because of my comp or what.

Also, I want to be able to get my support hand palm up high and get as much traction as possible. See circled area. That area is the most important area for me.

That may work. Never tried that. I prefer agressive texture that will not move. I peel skin off my support hand after a good day of practice. I like aggressive. I would think sweaty hands and rubber would equal slippery? Maybe not.

Nothing (tape) is going to work if you grip hard. Anyone saying otherwise doesn't. Silcon Carbide is what you want.

So you got to order another part because it doesn't work correctly? I'm not trying to stir up crap. I'm about to order a race holster. I'm considering the Alpha X. It will be for a PT grip.
