    There was some discussion of this at the match yesterday.  One of the shooters said that every shooter using CZ mags with extensions failed the gauge test at the chrono station.  TTI extensions were specifically mentioned.  I don't know if it was +4 or +2 extensions. 

     

    This may be the dumbest thing I've read online in a long time.   Complete 💩 !!  There were a total of 5 shooters that got bumped to Open, and it could have been for any number of reasons.   

  2. I am now running my JP with one of the new AR Gold PCC Triggers.  It has been flawless.   I have occasional dead triggers with my Hiperfire in this particular gun. No issues with the AR Gold.    The Hiperfire has been flawless for me in multiple other guns.

     

     

  3. For me, the XL is the best dot going from a weight and visual standpoint.    The only real concern seems to be regarding durability.   I doubt it will have any problems on an Open gun, at least no more than any other dot.    Whether or not it can withstand the demands of being installed directly on a slide for CO is another matter altogether.    I remain hopeful. 

  4. I did a search for milled Stock II slides and was surprised at the lack of slide lightening posts.  Lots of talk about optics mounts but not a lot of discussion about cuts for reducing weight.   I’d love to see pics from anyone that has done this. I’ve always liked the feel of the Stock II and Stock III over any of the CZ offerings.  There are a few companies out there offering slide lightening cuts for the Shadow 2, but I haven’t really seen anything for the Tanfoglios.  Am I missing something, or am I just not using the correct search terms?   If I were to build a CO gun, it seems to me a milled Stock II would be the ideal pistol.

    I used to run it in my 9mm SV IMM with 115 gr. 10.5 at 1.165 -1.170 Made 169 PF. Same load out of my new to me Shorty Bedell makes 160PF so I will try 124s with this gun.  I liked it much better than Autocomp/CFE Pistol. My favorite powder for 9major.

     

    How clean is it?

  6. I've been considering a switch to AA#7.  Been running CFE pistol, but I am looking for something a little slower burning.  Anyone else made the same switch and if so, what are your thoughts?   Looking for something to drive the comp a little more.

    What was the timer saying, was your times truly faster or was the gun just lighter?  Loving my evo grip, friend had same setup with plastic side by side I am loving the steel. 

     

     

    I was definitely faster on the draw with the plastic grip and on the few runs that I had to compare with, it was a fairly even split with respect to times.   I'm not contemplating a switch back to plastic at this point, but I certainly liked the lighter weight of the plastic grip.  

  8. I made the switch to a steel grip a few years back.  No regrets.  Last week however,  I was at the range with a buddy that has a similar Open Gun to mine, only his has a plastic grip compared to my steel grip.  I ran his pistol for a few practice runs and I was surprised and how much quicker the gun seemed to transition and how much faster the draw seemed.   The weight seemed much more noticeable than I had realized previously.   I really like the balance and perceived recoil management of my gun, but I'm pretty sure if I had to make the switch back to a plastic frame I could get used to it plenty fast.   This got me thinking... Have any of you made the switch back to plastic, or at least considered it?  

     

     

  9. How did your loading port come out? I actually have touched mine yet! That is my next mod, but being my first shotgun I am really not sure what angles I will want on it! So I have been shooting it stock!

    They came out great. Excellent for both dual and quad loads. I should have taken some pics, but I just barely had time to rough them out before the match. After the match, a buddy took it home with him for a couple weeks to polish everything up for me. I'll post pics when I get it back.

  10. Thanks for the help and suggestions. Shot IronMan this last week and although I didn't do as well as I had hoped I would, I had a great time and my shotgun ran like a champ. I really like the 1301. I appreciate the tips.

  11. Question for quad loaders.... I will be loading weak hand. I have taken the Serial Number side down as far as I can go and the opposite side has be taken down to the same point. Is there any benefit to taking that side down any further? Now is the time to do it if I am going to, I just don't see any real benefit at this point. Thoughts?

  12. when you shoot the slugs, what's the sight picture look like? if you are used to shooting trap and putting a dot on the other dot that's your problem.

    I have to bury the mid bead dead center in the front bead to even get close. If I do the figure eight, its even higher off target.

    Have you made sure your fit is correct? Several different stock shims come with the 1301.

    I'm going to try some different shims tonight.

  14. A couple questions for you guys.... After 20 pages into this thread, I thought I would just ask a couple questions. Like an idiot, I decided to try and run a new 1301 three days before the MGM IronMan. What could go wrong, right?

    Took the gun out today and had cycling issues at first, but after about 60 rounds, I was able to run a full box of Rem Gun Club 1 1/8 oz loads with no issue. Herter Slugs functioned fine but they are about 11" high at 50 yards. RIO Low Recoil grouped well, same POI as the Herters, but would not cycle. Windage is dead on. Going to put a barrel clamp on tomorrow and see how that affects things. I would rather run the gun without the clamp, but I was curious what you guys run. Clamp or No Clamp? Going to open up the loading port tomorrow. It doesn't like dual or quad loads as is. It hangs up at insertion. If the slugs don't shoot differently with the clamp, I am going to install a .180 Tall STI front sight and Adjustable sight in the rear.... Glock or Bomar, depending on what I have lying around.

    I need some reassurance here. Did I go off the deep end here? My rifle and Pistol are good to go, so I have a couple days to get this sorted out.
