I will echo the 1911 suggestions. Every gun enthusiast should own one. Fun to shoot, versatile for many competition circuits and it's classic americana! I settled on a Kimber Custom II (their base model) and it is an excellent pistol. Zero problems to date. Fpr 1200.00 though, you could look at some higher end 1911's. Good luck in your search

Yep, a gentleman by the name of Hawk sells them at the Raahauge's Shooting Range in Corona, CA. Very nice guy and usually has a good supply. Might as well catch a uspsa match there to if you are making the trip. Every Saturday at around 9am. 14995 River Rd Corona, CA 92880 (951) 735-7981

Just following up on this for anyone who may search for Solo1000 in the future - Fowlers in Orange County did indeed have Solo1000. Was about $19.00 per 12 oz. Thanks again to Chuck!

Thank you Chuck, just put them on my list.

Thank you very much man, I will give them a ring. I had no idea they carried powders. Cheers!

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck finding Solo100 in the Los Angeles are. Thanks!

Thanks for the info! Your write-ups have been excellent.

Montana Gold and Zero's are the most popular as far as I know. Zero's are hard to find in stock sometimes. Define reasonable cost too. Have you considered moly coated to save a little money?

Yeah, the metal on the inside of the body that limits the capacity gets in the way of the floor plate. Jones technique will work well.

Hi Duke, For my Glock 9mm's (including a G19) I have found my OAL sweet spot to be right around 1.140". I am using 124gr MGB over Titegroup as well. That said, I have loaded out to 1.160" with no problems in my 9mm Glocks also. 1.140" just puts me at a good power factor and works 100% in my guns.

I have found this OAL to be ideal for my G34. 1.135-1.140" seems like the sweet spot. Fits in mags, produces good burns, feeds 100%.

Great read, thanks!

Same here. I also received my invitation packet in the mail this morning as well.

I started with 231 in 124gr. 9mm. It felt nice and was accurate for me, but was just very messy. I would not really care about the messiness except the grit kept getting in the trigger/connector area and made my trigger feel like shit a fee stages into a match. I have since moved onto Titegroup. I know you are not a fan, but I find it to be a great powder.

Would be awesome to see someone roll into Production with a G26. Just saying...think about it

Shooting too close to it can cause some crazy numbers too. Make sure you are far enough away from it that it is reading the bullet and not the gasses and powder debris .

I know the 92 Elite models have dovetailed front sights so it should be possible to do with the standard 92. Whether it would still be Production Div legal is a great question.

No problem, glad it helped. I would think you would be comfortably in above minor PF with the G17. Always good to check your loads though if you plan on shooting any major matches. Temperature, elevation, barrel speed and all that stuff can make a difference.

Just wanted to throw this into the mix incase someone is looking for chrono data for similar loads. Temperature: 73º Humidity: 62% Elevation: 750ft Test Gun Glock 34 - factory barrel Load Data Bullet: 124gr Montana Gold Bullet CMJ Powder: 4.0gr Titegroup Winchester Small Pistol Primers Mixed Brass OAL: 1.135-1.140" Chrono Data Shot 1: 1096 Shot 2: 1074 Shot 3: 1079 Shot 4: 1089 Shot 5: 1070 5 Shot Average: 1081 = 134 PF

+1 for taking the round bumper off. It serves no purpose for me other than annoying my leg.

The bases are VERY secure. It is not a concern. The problem I did have with the Arredondo's is they failed to seat with my Dawson ICE magwell. From what I have read this is not a universal problem. Many people run this combination with no problem at all, unfortunately I did not. I switched to Dawson basepads and they of course work perfectly with the Dawson magwell. Other that the seating issue, the Arredondo's are very nice and well built.

Definitely believe shooting with great shooters will make you better. I also believe hanging out with ugly people makes me more handsome.

Have not tried the Rhino camera, but it does look pretty good. I would only wonder if it messes with your sight line at all if you wear your hat a bit lower. I use a Contour HD mounted on the brim of my hat and it stays out of the way while giving a pretty nice POV angle. Some may think it is too bulky, but I forget it's their after I put it on for the day (with a fairly tight hat on of course). Edited to add: I will note I have to adjust my hat when shooting rifle and shotgun to get a good POV shot. If I keep it on straight the alignment is off, the Rhino camera would probably share this problem. The Eyewear cameras would probably remedy this, but the quality os lacking in my opinion.

Hey there Hodgdon Data (http://www.hodgdon.com/basic-manual-inquiry.html)shows 4.7 as the starting load and 5.1 max for a 115 gr FMJ projectile. I would bump your charge up by .1 or .2 and see how that works. If it doesn't cycle by 5.0, come back and see us You can always throw in a lighter recoil spring also if you want to stay at 4.7gr.
