This has been a great help to all of us who are / planning to upgrade their Prodigys. Thanks to all who contributed.

Wow... that's cool! 17+1 with 126mm mags is awesome! That's nice to know. I pick up my Edge today and should have my extra mags, grams followers & springs, and Bolen 4mm pads by Friday. Can't wait to build them and see what I get. I have trimmed my Barsto-40 (STI look alike) to fit inside the IDPA box, and have the same 126mm tubes. I too get a reloadable 17 in the mags. When people ask me why I went with a .40 cal. instead of a .45 cal. for self defense, I tell them my ONE mag holds more rounds than 2 of theirs! Always gets a wide eyed look of surprise! and then Oh, I see why. Happiness is a full high cap magazine. (note: only 10 rounds can be loaded in the mag for IDPA) Ron

I shoot a 2011, and really like the Ready tactical from SKDtac.com $22.95 single mag pouch. They stay on the belt and don't move around, I have never had to wrestle one out of it's holder....Uncle Mikes....cough...ehemmm.. Ron

Already have! LOL , I had; the dustcover cut (to make it IDPA legal) Front sight changed to FO (for my older eyes) milled the mag. funnel to <1 5/8" (again IDPA) Bead blasted all the hard anodizing off the mag. funnel and polished it with #600 wet/dry sandpaper to match slide finish Bought a new home for it on my side, Blade Tech belt holster....NOT the DOH....... I plan on shooting it a lot to smooth out the "stiffness" of being new. Hand loads VV-n320 4.4gr. MG 180gr., When my order comes up I'll buy a case of Precision 185s. Again with N-320 Ron

Look no further than right here on our board. seems I don't know how to post a link.....I'll have to read about it... Look under classifieds; Custom Tripp Limited Gun http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=68184# Ron edited to attempt proper linkage......failed

Continuation of thread drift.... I wonder if the Kilt had any psychological effect on the other shooters.....? Damn fine leggings. Back on track now, I am concidering making my own shooting vest from a pattern of my pheasant hunting vest. long enough and stylish too! If I make one I'll post some pics. Ron

This is from the assistant DA in Ca. (kinda rhymie) Bill Lockyer's letterhead is on the first pda. Sorry I could not find a way to post them directly, comming from a pda. This is the source of my information and I have it printed out (hard copy as well), so there is no problem discussing this on the internet. One must remember, it is a LAW that hi-cap magazines must have been owned prior to the ban in 2000.

Thanks Homie, I'll have to have a talk with the "Powers that be" in my IDPA area. Ron

I can't comment on the Lee press as I have never owned or used one, I have a RCBS Pro 2000. It was available at such a screamin' deal price I went with it rather than a Dillon 550 or 650, so far I like my reloader, I'm new to handloads too. Good luck with your purchase, what ever you end up with. Lots of Blue Koolaid fans on this site... Ron

I wish IDPA had something like a Texas Star....... When I get more proficient I'll go back to USPSA Ron

Thanks for the kind words ....Y'all, Once the smoke clears out of central Ca. enough to see a target at 15 yards, I'm gunna shoot 'smore handloads through it. I'm shooting VV N320 4.4gr . 180gr. Montana Gold, OAL 1.80 +/_ .05 . VERY soft load and clean as a Baby's behind......em, well cleaner than that, but, just as soft. I am learning to watch the fron sight rise off target and then drop back just in time for a second shot. Us old guys can be taught. Lernt' it all right here. Thanks, Ron I don't remember where I saw this or who(m) said it first, but it wasn't me.....I'll give credit to whomever claims it. "My greatest worry is after I die, my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them".

Paid my dues, waited my 10 days, shipped it back to Irv. , waited 3 more weeks for custom work........Worth the wait? Oh Yeah! I shot a few rounds prior to the "Postal" match on Sunday, and sorta half-assed sighted it in......Yeah, I should have taken my time from a bench rest, but, you know how a new gun is to shoot. You just want to GO!!! I shot THE best I have ever shot, tied for 10th most accurate out of 94 shooters.....LOL......there were 2 masters at the match and I Fubared one stage by not counting how many rounds I had left in the mag. prior to the "Make Ready" command. That won't happen again.... Thought I'd share a few photos for your enjoyment. I know I like pictures of others blasters Great Gun... Ron

Are you happy with the Auto primer system? I am having a heck of a time getting it to run right and not ingest a primer every so often <50 reloads. I took mine apart and noticed one of the plastic spring clips (6 total) was missing.....looks like a call to RCBS on Monday. Greeeaaat customer service IMO. Ron

"SNS"?, please extrapolate. Ron
