1973

Anyone out there go barefoot? Arkansas maybe?

Keep cheching the IDPA website for updates.

Someone asks a question and not only do they get the answer, they get the math to back it up... What a forum! Personally, I like the 147 gr 9mm in a 5" SA 1911 with the new Ice magwell, which cradles my hand. Almost like holding hands with my wife and cuddling after sex...almost Does your 1911 9mm make weight with the ice magwell?

I reloaded with Clays when I shot CDP and found it to be a good powder.

3.6 of tite group with 180 gr. bullet seems almost like cheating when compaired to factory ammo. Will that load make 125,000?

Is it better to be fast or accurate?

I guess heavier bullets (185 gr) may not be a bad option after all.

I currently shoot a 9.

Does anyone know what kind of recoil difference there is between 9mm 147gr and 40 cal 155 gr assuming the same style pistol and powerfactor?

And here I come... The low down. Tripp makes a .40/10mm system mag that he markets as for the 1911s with big magwells. They are cut down 10 round mags made to still fit the box but add length so that you can seat them in those magwell since he doesn't make an extended base pad for his mags. Now he markets them as 9 rounders. If your gun is well tuned they will hold 10 rounds, or at least mine did. They aren't on his website but if you call him he'll make them for you. Now like I said he doesn't market them as holding 10 rounders so they may or may not work. I have a couple 9mm 1911s so I just kept on shooting those with 10 round mags. Will the "true" 10 rounders fit the box, I doubt it. The cut down 10 round .40 mags barely fit and I don't see how leaving extra room on there would but I don't own any "true" 10 round mags as I shoot L10 with 8 round SS or my limited gun. Side note, if you have a 9mm take the wilson ETMs and take off that base pad and add a regular wilson pad and your golden. I have been using Tripp 9 round and 10 round 10mm mags for .40 loaded long in my Single stack .40 for years. The 9 rounders for ESP in IDPA and the 10 rounders for L10. The 10 round mags are to long to fit in the box. I recently purchased an Ice magwell for my gun and the 9 rounders were just a bit short to seat positively. So I called Virgil and ordered 4 System mags, I received them 10 days later. Mine all hold and run with 10 and the gun fits in the box no problem with an 1/8 inch to spare (bomar rear sight). It sounds like I need to give Virgil a call.

In single stack 10 has no advantage over 9 since the capacity is 8. In IDPA I can see 9 rounders as a viable option. 9 is my answer.

C'mon Chad, inquiring minds want to know. You should not be suprised since team single stack will be on again when Danny and Davenport return from their vacation.

I ordered one from Brazos yesterday. However, my magwell will not be quite as BIG as yours.

Pau B. tried the 10 round Tripp mags in his Trojan and he claims they don't fit. 2 days later he sold those suckers. That'll learnem.

I was pretty sure 10 rounders were out but I wanted to be sure. I feel pretty good about nine rounders since I will not have to perform an extra reload on 18 round stages and I do not foresee alot of 11 round stages were I shoot. Right Steve! I am counting on that.

I purchsed a Brazos kit about a year ago and put it in a Taurus and the trigger pull was just over two pounds with no fitting at all. I later took the same kit and dropped it into my STI and it was just under two pounds with no fitting. "Good is as Good does"

Does anyone know if a 10 round single stack .40 cal mag will fit in the box?

If you would like you could always shoot a .40 cal 1911 in ESP and use the same gun to shoot limited with major power factor is USPSA. ESP also has a lower power factor threshold at 125,000 vs 165,000 in CDP.

I was wondering if using the .22 Kadet conversion kit would hurt the slide to frame fit on my Mink built sp-01 custom?
