[Controlling Tumbler Dust]

I use mineral spirits 4-5 squirts out of a spray bottle after tumbling, controls the dust.

[Have you ever seen a man shoot a course of fire in a speedo?]

There are just some things you want to unsee

[What's the deal with federal primer stock & production?]

Just got my order from Jan 21 for ssp (Fed) was a years worth and reordered the same. Come on rife primers

[The End to Corn in Flash Holes]

Mineral sprits big thumbs up for cuting down dust, I have even cut out dryer sheets and the cob last longer

[Cancer]

I guess were all together on this, wife is in the mid part of chemo

[IDPA - SP-01 - Tiger Team]

There are rule changes coming end of year 30 day review then go into affect after S-W Nats. Was told this by J. Wilson at nationals(everyone was told this in her speech). Still don't know about SP-01 I suspect full lenght will go away. Shot the 75 this year and really did not see a huge difference still getting my butt handed to me by plastic so.........

[Shooting a match when I shouldn't]

I feel your pain, mine went 3 weeks ago just starting to feel better

[New CS 75 Shadow T- issues]

Shorten your recoil spring by 2-3 rings and retry

I have a SP-O1 and it never failed to strip a round, bought a 75 and it would fail every other time, SP-01 had a shorter spring in it so I matched it to the 75 no more problems

[XDM 5.25 IDPA?]

Yes it fits in the box, good to go in ESP.

[2012 Masters Championship]

Congrats Paul, was a hell of a match I have never seen more runners in a match. I ended up 5th in Esp Exp (2 No shoots from 2nd) they jumped up right in front of me. Scores are up on the web site.

[New Shadow - Question(s) about POI]

ntphd- don't give up on the 147s just yet. I'm new to my Shadow as well and have been using my 147s without issue. 147g Berrys at about 1.150"... no marks, no sticking in the chamber. I think it really depends on the gun/bullet profile. I know a guy that shoots 160gr Bayou bullets thru his... other than the stink they appear to work just fine.

I can see a heavier bullet shooting higher... but not to the left or right... never seen that personally. Regardless- different loads have different POIs with all guns... that's why I prefer adjustable sights.....

I have shot 147s for 2 years out of my shadow sp-01 147s at 1.15 tigher group than the 124s???

[Harbor Freight tumbler?]

Try this one from Harbor Freight...

Tumbler

That is the exact one I have. I took the paddles out and sprayed the inside with rubber pickup bed liner. I let that cure in the sun for about a week (90 - 100 degrees). I use corn cob media with a bottle of car polish. It is fairly quiet and does 1000 .38 or .40 brass in about 2 hours. I also tumble the loaded rounds to get off any case lube or burrs around the case mouth. They look like new factory ammo and feed and eject smoothly.

Really only a 1000, I thought at least 3000-4000.

[Who would you purchase a custom Shadow from]

I have an sp-01 from Matt and now a shadow 75 SAO from Angus(thanks Rob)and the triggers are really good from both

[Cz custom]

Glad I got mine a month ago wait was less than 2 weeks

[Harbor Freight tumbler?]

Try this one from Harbor Freight...

Tumbler

I have thought about it.

[Harbor Freight tumbler?]

I have had one for 3 years, not looking so good now but it has tumbled close to 100,000 and still going. Yep the big one is on my list when this one goes.

[SP01 Shadow on a diet]

I got my SP-01 to weight but had to use Marschal grips(lite),small right side safety the lighter mag break and plastic gude rod, 10 round mags 38.9 oz. but be prepared to weigh and quote the rule book for IDPA page 21 next to last paragraph"Pistols approved for ssp may also be used in esp,even if the pistol in question has a FULL-LENGHT dust cover" this can be your friend.

I now have a 75 Shadow and it is a good gun it's not the finish quality of and sp-01 but I do think it maybe quicker for me. Just seams to be quicker out of the holster and transition's very well"only had it a few weeks". I was worried about not having the weight out front for recoil but it just has not made a difference, my splits are the same or better. Overall I'm very happy with the 75 Shadow, thanks to the guys at the custom shop "Rob" for getting me what I wanted.

[Choosing a CZ for IDPA ESP]

I have shot a sp-01 shadow for 2 years in esp(you can make weight in ssp)it is a great gun and got me from MM-EX almost Master. But I have wanted to try something a little different for a while so I ordered an 75 shadow sao from Angus it will be here tomorrow and can't wait to shoot it. Really looking forward to shooting a new gun, it been a while. I stuck with the same gun for 2 years instead of chasing guns (I think it was a good choice but ready to play with something new)I really like ESP but it limits what I can do with the sp-01 but it will be a back up and I still can shoot it in ssp and Production in USPSA. Will give updates after I get the new gun

[Shadow 9mm barrel life]

I found that if the bullets are sized correct .356 it comes down to crimp with molly, try putting a little more crimp on them. I have tried .355 bullets and they are not very accurate and tumble out of my shadow. 50k plus and still more accurate than me

[CZ 75 Shadow Longslide]

How about the weight? 43oz for ESP if its not over or can make weight, I'm in
