It should be fine. I'm not a huge fan of Accurate #2, but it works. What are you shooting it out of? With a 1.2 OAL I'm thinking a 1911 frame but it would help to know. Edited because evidently I can't read today.

I agree. My coffee must not be working this morning...

I had a 120# dumbbell "bounce" off the rack onto the top of my foot. I always wait till I get my breath under control before racking bells now! I was at Lake Pleasant on a friends houseboat a few years back. When we were coming back to the dock, I was tasked with getting the boat tied up once we got settled. I decided that it would be a good idea to jump the last few feet to the dock as we were coming in. I slipped on the jump (too many beverages ) and barely caught myself with my left hand on the railing. Seeing the dock rapidly approaching my face, I did what was later described as the most impressive one arm pull-up ever seen! I weight right at 260# at the time. I hyper-extended my elbow and couldn't move it for about 2 weeks.

Congrats! I did the same thing in Limited. I don't know if I'm going to make B this year but that is my goal.

Have you shot one of the full size guns? I was set on getting a Limited 40 for my next gun. I have fairly big hands but that thing is BIG. Makes my G35 feel down right skinny.

Glock 35 Ruger MKIII Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt Throw in a conversion barrel for the G35 in 9MM and the conversion cylinder in 45 ACP for the Blackhawk and I'm set.

Major or minor PF? 231 is a great powder for minor loads but there are much better choices for major. Major PF. 231 works great for Major. It may not be the softest powder available, but makes PF easily and has been temperature stable for me. I went back through my load data this morning. My quoted loads from above were for my G22. I will edit my post to reflect. 4.6gr with a lead 180gr goes 950fps in my G35 4.8gr with the Hornady 180gr XTP goes 950 in my G35

I load to 1.14 for my G22. 5.0 grs of 231 will get me to 950 with 180gr lead and 5.2 will with a Hornady 180 XTP. Edit for G22 instead of G35

This has been posted before but bears repeating. Refers to an 1100 but the same rules apply. 1100 longetivity tips

Wow. Glad to hear you are going to make a full recovery! I keep my powders on a shelf and make it a point to only have one on my reloading bench at a time.

I've tried the dryer sheet trick and it doesn't work. There is just too much rogue on that media in the first place. I have resorted to finish tumbling in a small amount of corncob media. I only use the Tuff Nut media on very tarnished brass anymore.

Very nice. I sold mine 4 years ago and still kick myself over it.

Welcome! The Phoenix area is amazing for the shooting sports. I try to shoot the Rio Salado Practical Pistol and Hosemasters Practical Pistol Match each month. Come on out and join us.

Are these factory or handloads? It sounds like your OAL is too long.

Depending on the rules of the match, you may be bumped into open with the +5 unless you plugged it to only hold 8.

The diameter consistency with the extremes was the major problem for me. In the two boxes of 500 that I have bought in the past, both had problems. .396 to .405 dia in the same box of bullets. The undersized bullets just couldn't be made to shoot well enough even for plinking! I've had good experiences with Berry's and will buy them in the future if I need bullets and can't wait for Montana Gold.

Go with the Berry's and make sure to only crimp to the point of removing the belling from the case mouth. Overcrimping generally produces poor accuracy and in my G35 will cause them to keyhole. Do a search for the extreme bullets here. Not well thought of.

Yeah, that last one on the left just kept dodging my bullets! Those four swingers didn't help either.

ENTJ here Probably about as split between being an extrovert and an introvert as anyone can be. I was terribly shy when I was younger and decided that was no way to go through life. I have that wide group of acquaintances but only three people outside family that I consider friends. I love being center stage in everything I do but like curling up with a good book for some alone time too.

When you're taking down the Christmas cards and you realize you get more from firearm companies and people you know in the shooting sports than from family.

I'm pretty sure it would limited and production legal, would it not? You would be fine running the 35 slide in Limited but would not be technically legal in production. No way other than calling Glock up to prove that your frame was not a 35 coming from the factory but still not legal to swap calibers.

Thread drift... Still not quite true Grumpy. In a vacuum the two balls would hit at the same instant. You would have to take air resistance into account even where the air density is equal. If the two cannon balls were the same size but one weighed 12 lbs and the other 6 lbs the heavier ball would be less affected by the air resistance component of the acceleration equation. First, did I say the two balls were of differing sizes? I said WEIGHT. Second, with the air density being the same, both WOULD hit the ground at the same time, gravity does not pull "harder" on heavier objects. Vacuum (no air density) or regular breathable air, both would still hit at the same time...Maybe if you dropped 6lbs of lead and 12lbs feathers, you might get your result.. Gravity accelerates an object high up in the air downward at the usual rate of 32 ft/second/second. As it accelerates, however, the air resistance increases, roughly like speed at low speeds and then more like the square of the speed. Finally, the air resistance exerts an upward force exactly equal and opposite to the force of gravity. The object will then continue to fall at that speed, which is called the terminal speed. Exactly what the terminal velocity is depends on the shape, size, and density of the object. The terminal velocity of a man with an open parachute is much slower than that of a man without a parachute. It also depends on the material the object moves through. Terminal velocity of a steel ball falling through water is much slower than that of a steel ball falling through air. An object falling in a vacuum has no terminal velocity. The only limit would be due to Einstein's relativity, a completely different subject.

It's possible. I'm no expert on this subject but I think most glocks will start to lose accuracy more from wear on the locking surfaces vs internal wear. The only auto pistol barrel that I have personally seen with throat erosion was a 9X25 Dillon with about 75,000 rounds through it. edit cause my spellin ain't so gud

I guess I've just got a little thicker skin but I didn't see anything "hostile" in G-Man Bart's post. Maybe I spend too much time over at ar15 to take offence without some serious intent? I can't really comment on barrel wear in pistol calibers. I've got a G35 with ~60,000 rounds down the tube and no visible wear. It's not uncommon for Limited bbls to go 100,000+ before the accuracy drops to an unacceptable level and need to be replaced. I shoot a 6mm Remington for long range varmint and paper punching. Now I accept the fact that an 87 gr V-Max at 3450 fps is going to cause enough erosion in the throat that I will get maybe 1,800 to 2,000 (very generous) rounds before I need to replace it. Different pressures and temperatures in that sport.
