Most likely its the brass. I'm willing to bet almost all of the rejects are foreign or military brass, wcc, sb, gfl, cbc, etc. Should have none with quality American commercial brass, blazer, remington, federal, and winchester. Its a combination of things. First, the brass is thicker in the middle with these cases. Second, the 147's are much longer than the 124's. Combined together, the longer bullet and thicker brass bulge in the middle, making it too thick to case gauge properly. The worse was when I tried .357 sized 147 bullets with the thicker brass. The failed ones I save for practice, 99% will run through my glock stock barrels, the 1% make me practice malfunction clearance. None will run in my shorter chambered Walther.

4k on a G17 mos, 2.5 DPP, 13lb ismi recoil spring. First CO gun.

I would buy either, but like the flat point as first choice. Thanks.

PM sent to be on list. Thanks.

The magwell is huge without the front cutout. I would agree with the Gen 5 17 MOS with front serrations. I shoot the 17 better too.

I use this one, have it on 4 guns. Works great for me and not expensive, https://ghostinc.com/gen-4-5-x-release-9mm-40-357-sub-and-compact-gen-4-5-x/

I agree with you about it being a sealer and I have noticed the Winchester red sealant is sometimes uneven on individual primers. Maybe 20+ years ago I remember an article from American Handgunner, it was a debate article between Mike Dillon and Richard Lee. Part of the discussion was on why Lee only recommended CCI and Winchester primers and not Federal in there primer system without an additional blast shield. Lee and CCI have sealants that help to prevent a daisy chain explosion, so the plastic tray alone was okay. I've had a friend have a daisy chain explosion with Federal, thankfully it was in a Dillon where the explosion went straightup. I use all three and save the Federals for matches (Glock shooter).

I like this one from ghost inc, https://ghostinc.com/gen-4-5-x-release-9mm-40-357-sub-and-compact-gen-4-5-x/ Been running it the past couple years on several guns, easy to hit without shifting my grip and no accidental releases.

Yes, single action is okay for IDPA CO.

Tanfoglio limited pro or CZ SP 01, I know you said no 2011, but that would be the ticket if you can consistent slide lock with the mags. Inconsistent slide lock is the weakness of the 2011 for IDPA, although 9 is better than 40.

I agree, I have gen3s and gen4s. Its the g17 gen5 that has a different lockup, uses the g19 locking block and lug pattern. With the different rifling and lockup its supposed to be more accurate than previous gens. I have one to pickup up this week. Will have to bench and see.

I have a close friend from optometry school who practices in Larned, I think a couple hours away from you, his wife is from Salina. Look up Dr. Douglas Ayre, he'll take great care of you. Let them know of your needs.

My G34 gen 4, came with the 8794 mag release. Straight from the factory using a Glock prize certificate. Its legal, you're good to go.

No issues in my glocks, from G43 to G21 to G22. All factory polygonal barrels.. Go shoot and enjoy.

Run that baby CZ!

Just looked at the scores, Congrats Rowdy on the 1st place expert CDP and match bump to master. Sweet.

Diameter of bullet should be .355" or more. Yikes, if they actually are .333".

For production, I know the Dawson .200 pads fit with room to spare. The .300 should, but I can't give actual experience. My gun has Sevigny rear with .230 front sight. HTH.

Congrats Rowdy! Nice shooting. Met you at the Florida state match. I was the SO on stage 1. We were talking about your CZ and written articles.

To shoot the match in ccp division, you'll need to shoot a classifier before the match since you haven't shot a ccp classifier (or shot ccp in another sanctioned match) within a year of shooting the state match. The mm ranking is from the equity promotion where you can't be ranked lower than one step from your highest ranking. If the state match is before September and you can't shoot a ccp classifier, you can shoot esp without shooting another classifier. I could be wrong, but I haven't seen a state match that required points to shoot it. Just needed to be an idpa member, signup, pay your fee, and make sure your classification is current. The points are for getting into nationals, the more points you have accumulated the more priority you have for getting into nationals. For the nationals you have to send in an application first and then get approved, if you don't make the first cut based on points, your name goes into a lottery for the remaining spots. HTH. Here's a link to the rulebook, look up section 9 classification, I was trying to copy and paste, but the formatting came out funny: http://members.idpa.com/Content/Rules/4sig5pxx.mr1.pdf

You do have a point, the rules don't specifically state it, but you are "within the spirit of the rules". Its the same as trimming and blending a safety, slide stop, trigger guard, magwell, and beavertail for ESP/CDP/CCP. If we were following SSP rules, different story. Yeah, I need to read through the clarifications. (went through the latest clarification compilations for the 2015 rule book, nothing on topic) You're fine to file down the safety to fit.

For most of the shooters helping compile the data, they found just shooting the classifier and not thinking about the 1 point=1 second, they scored better. I guess its that subconscious vs conscious mind thing.

I'll second Rowdy's comment on data. One of our club members is an AC and is on the tiger team. He's been accumulating hard data to help design the future classifier. He has had all master class shooters in our club and area shoot variations of stage 1, 2, 3 and how it compares to their historical times on file for those stages. I assume they are compiling this across the country. I'll have to ask him. He also mentioned once they have a correlation of how master class shooters shoot the new classifier its easy to back track (regression) and set the times for the other classes.

Any specific suggestions on that? I'm pretty much settled on .45 ACP. It's come down to the Springfield XDS Competition or the Glock G41. Was just about sold on the Glock till I realized its .15" too long for the stupid IDPA box, and I really was hoping to find one for both. I may go with it anyway and pick up a 21 slide & barrel later, though the XDM package is tempting. Also want to go SF as I've been shooting DA revo for so long not sure I can deal with a safety. Plus I now have trouble sneaking up on a trigger that breaks all at one:-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Without a magwell, the G41 should fit the box unless you have some really tall adjustable sights.
