As a upper B / lower A class shooter in 4 divisions, I find major scoring the advantage. I can go faster not worrying about charlies and wind up shooting about 93% of the points in a match. A/C on every target gets you 90% of points available. That would significantly drop with minor scoring as would my results. The only time i need to slow down is in an array with multiple (4-6) steel. But then again, I'm just an average shooter getting older every day

I ask the builder whats the oal they prefer or set up the gun for... if possible also, different mags/followers like adifferent length with different profiles

My gun likes 200 grain RN, looking to go with a lighter bullet. Who makes 180 grain or less in a round nose instead of a TC Poly/moly etc coated is fine, no need for FMJ

Just for s#!ts and giggles??? 9 major does its best in a comped gun in the competition world. No good for limited so you would have to shoot in open.

i emailed him with no luck

125 pf is 125 PF whether it 9, 40 or 45 (probably see the bullet going down range) 165 is 165 is 165 125 doesn't equal 165 mag capacity is different for 9 vs 40 vs 45 all have their advantages and disadvantages What is the next demand, it's not fair he shoots reloaded 147 9mm versus my white box 115!!!!!

what did the pal run when you found one... im still having no luck so far...

just take into account, your reader lens will change over time as you age, so if you go with one lens for front site, that will need to change over time. 40 yoa 1.0 50 yoa 2.5

quick search and could t find one for sale

anti splatter spray......, i have heard non sticking cooking spray works as well, anyone have any experience?

Planning on just using it for barrel / comp on and open gun, perhaps small parts when detail break down. Anybody use the harbor freight one? For a once in a while cleaning, will it hold up?

I shot the battle in the bluegrass for 8 of its 10 years and don't remember minor ever winning or even sitting in the top 5/10 with any regularity, and this was a SS-PROD match with balanced stages. Perhaps look into the history of that west coast SS match every year for more comparisons (lots of GM in SS at both) When the top 18 shoot major at locap, and they are the big names, I'm going to say it was balanced or major friendly. Now, and average shooter may do better with the extra rounds as we may take more makeups.

I was thinking of going this route to clean the barrel/comp on an open gun and perhaps the slide. Any downside to this, its always been in the back of my mind and I never really researched pros and cons?

HA, I remember years ago when i had to find a aluminum, FLGR or go with a shorty, do to the weight limit, how times change LOL

I believe where he was going is a new shooter shows up with a "glock" and the 2 or 3 mags that come with it. Cant do production with 2/3 mags but can in Lim minor.

Remember, prior to covid and the election, lots of people chose to shoot factory 9, do to its easy availability and cheap cost. Their time was more valuable to them. Well that bird flew the coop.

the one on the right is obviously the major load

When I shot production with a shadow, Matt Mink suggested to me to practice and maybe shoot level 1 with one slide stop and have a second for level 2 +, or perhaps it was one for practice and one for matches. Then I had a third in my bag as a back up. They will break, and usually at the worst time. So depending on how much live fire practice you do, chose from above. I went with level 2+ option so as to limit the damage it could do to a match that I dumped a lot of money into .

plunk test for max oal is crucial, otherwise every bullet produced above it, is a waste.
