I'd pick up an Anderson's or Stoeger's book on dry fire drills. You can make big gains without firing a shot. They will help with all aspects, including trigger control. Good luck to you...

I broke 10 DVC Open comps... yes, 10
On the same gun? How many rounds? When the comp breaks, where do they break? I have about 5k on my DVC open and I'm not sure to watch for. Thanks

After you have cataract surgery, aren't your eye focused to distance only? Since there is no lens to focus up close, how do you see the iron sights? I had my surgery and have 20/30 left and 20/20 in the right, but I can see irons unless it is bright and sunny. Just curious as to how this works, thanks.

Take a look at the CZ forum, just saying.

So, how would you handle magwells, race holsters, magnets, and equipment positioning with these combined divisions?

As a single stack shooter, I love the idea of single stack, production, and L10 being thrown together. Make them all eight major 10 minor and be done
I like this one, too. Would the SA/DA guns be able to start with the hammer back and safety on?

Check out this Enos link, it is amazing:

Well explained, thanks....

Looking at the geometry, I would think that one would stack quite a bit. "Stacking" is where a coil spring gets harder to push the more you compress it. It will be interesting to see how that one works out.
Okay Warren, not trying to be argumentative, what in the geometry do you see that would cause excessive stacking? It looks like they added a couple more friction points.

I only have S&W revolvers, are other brands coil springs?

I got an email about this from TK Custom(Adjustable Coil Spring Speed Hammer Kit for S&W N-Frame - TK Custom). In this time of spotty primer availability, it might be an interesting way to adjust spring tension.

I had 2 SP01 Shadows with the CZC milled mount. I sold those and got a Shadow 2 Orange. I really didn't want to cut the slide, so I bought an optic mount for my RTS2. I actually like it better than the CZC milled mount. It's been solid as can be. It shoots about an inch low up close and about an inch high at 25 yards. I don't even think about that stuff anymore. When I pull out the open gun or my red equipped revolver there is no adjustment at all. I don't think that you can go wrong either way.

Being as I am well in to my Super Senior years, I was wondering who is the oldest active shooter in USPSA? And what does he/she shoot?

I just picked up a Shadow 2 Orange this spring. Incredible gun, very accurate and very reliable. I want to be able to shoot it in CO, but couldn't see myself cutting up the slide. I installed a CZ Custom dovetail mount and have very happy with it. I had an AccuShadow with the RDS mount and I like the way the Orange points better. I do have to allow for about an inch at 7 and 30 yards.

I have a 6 inch 617-2 10 shot with an aluminum cylinder. Wonderful gun, but the aluminum cylinder fouls up really fast and is harder to clean than my other 617. I'd like to buy a stainless 10 shot cylinder to replace it. I know it will change the balance of the gun, I'm okay with that. What can I expect for issues with a project like this?
Thanks

I tried a legion and a CZ shadow 2. The CZ fit me much better and I like the trigger much better, too. The DA/DA was not a biggie to me. You somehow have to try each to make a decision. It really depends on what you like. I went with an RTS2. I have them on all of my other guns.

It is harder to shoot (especially Major pf, due to reduced capacity) than any of the high cap divisions.
People don't like Reloading that much, or having a stage plan bombed because of a miss on steel.
I wish more folks shot it around here. I just look at the overalls, and make a match on PS with me and the production shooters.
Can you use the whatif option on Practiscore and change yourself to production?

Hello: Try some 95-115 grain bullets at 140-150PF for shooting steel matches. Feels like a 22 and will run with no spring change in most pistols. Thanks, Eric
Does this formula keep the gun flat shooting? I tried just using minor loads from my CZ and the dot was all over the place.
Thanks

Hello: The Federal small pistol primers with your load will have flattened primers. As long as you are not getting any blow by or pierceing the primer you should be ok. When I tried them years ago I was getting blow by and they were really flattened. That was with 115's and 3N37. Thanks, Eric
Thanks for the answer. Sounds like they are at least safe to give them a try. I was worried that they might not hold up at all. I only plan to use them if the supply gets really short.

I have a good supply of Federal Small Pistol primers for my revolver. Would they be safe to use in my 9mm major open gun? I'm using 6.8gr of AutoComp with 124gr JHP bullets.
Thanks

Rowdy,
Slightly off topic here, sorry. I see that CZ Custom's site still offers lightening of the Shadow 2 slide along with the optics cut. Would you lighten the slide or just do the optics cut?
Thanks

Make it a +4 for Pinnacle. I'm very happy with the work he did on my 627...
-
I use TiteGroup for all 3 of those calibers. Works great, cheap, ton of data, and easy to find.

So I ended up buying an OR shadow 2 off a local gun store this week. Y'all convinced me.
What optic do you plan on using?
1000 rounds review of the STI DVC Open in 9 mm Major
in Open Pistols
Posted
I have a couple of STI DVC open guns in 9mm. 1 has 7500 rounds and the other about a 1000. No issues at all. There are 4 other STI open guns at our club, so far no issues. I email STI and asked them if they would continue to honor their warranty and they said yes. We shall see. I sometimes wonder if some of the issues with the bad guns came from the owners modifying them, especially with steel grips.
