Rear sight set screws. What size Allen key?
I have tried a set of both metric and sae Allen keys (brand new), and I cannot find a key that fits. The one metric that sort of fits is so loose I will not attempt to use it for fear of stripping.
Gun is new, never been molested prior...

Prefer 200 gr or 230 gr for IDPA out of a 625?
Never used anything but factory 230 gr FMJs. Any issues with RNFP in a revolver, or stick with RN profile?

You have to have an account and be signed in to get the build it option, but all it really does is give you add on's. You still have to individually sort through with change plates,. Dies, etc.

I went with the 5 moa, and am digging it. I also have a slight astigmatism and most dots don't look so great to my eyes, but for some reason the SRO's 5 moa looks great, the 2.5 was better than most for me, but the 5 won no contest for my eyes. If you're on the fence, the 2.5 moa dot cranked up can be made to look bigger, can't really make the 5 moa smaller, but you really don't need to crank it up as much either.
Some guys (usually Timmys, not so much the guys around here) get all deep in the weeds about how a smaller dot is more precise... but remember a 5 moa dot is 1.25" at 25yrds so...
Try to check out both before you buy, they're both good, pick the one that "sparks joy" lol.
With aimpoints and such, the dots look like a bunch of grapes, with a few hanging down to the left. It doesn't appear round at all to me, and is distracting. Hoping these don't go the same way for me.

The dot is basically at "infinity" so your distance correction is what you use to see it. That's the beauty of red dot sights, particularly for those of us with older eyes. Both the dot and the target are seen as being distant objects so there is no need to focus on a target (far) and sights (near and nearer) at different distances as with irons.
Did not know that.

I have astigmatism and both the 3.25 RMR and 5.0 SRO.
The SRO is far superior for competition use. The window is much larger which helps in not losing the dot during shooting. Also, 5 MOA is more than precise enough for any of the shots you'll take in USPSA.
As a side note, if you're shooting under bright sun, then you'll most likely be maxing out the brightness on either optic. However, the dot will still come across as not that bright when wearing sunglasses. I recently bought a pair of Hunter HD Golds to mitigate this issue.
Good to know.
I have a pair of prescription Oakley's, though are not progressive lenses like my daily wear. It will be interesting to see what happens with those. Might have to get another with progressives (bifocals). It sucks getting old.

Thanks guys.
I figured the 5 would be a little easier to pick up. I will ask to see some dots at the next match, maybe even luck out and someone has an SRO. Also looking at a RMR, maybe I will luck out there too.
-
1 Moa, 2.5, or 5 for USPSA Carry optics.
Anyone have side by side actual experience with the above mentioned dot sizes? I have nowhere local to check them out, so I am looking for some input. 1 Moa seems small, but again, no experience.
I wear corrective lenses, astigmatism, and first time ever purchasing a reflex sight for a pistol, if that helps.

I did not consider the crossover between 45 and 9mm with Same primer size. Something to think about if/when I start loading 9mm.
I am wondering if smaller primers would lend themselves to better ignition due to smaller surface area-less metal to deform in the cup, therefore more energy to compress the anvil. Maybe it's the other way around, I don't know.
I think I am getting way into the weeds here, as I am just starting back up, so a super light trigger pull and primer ignition should be very far outof my mind at this moment. But I threw it out there for discussion.
-
Any 45 brass in the near future?
-
At a point in time, I reloaded 45 acp, and never had to deal with small and large primer pockets. Now, aparently, there is such a thing. It's been awhile...
Revolvers, specifically a 625, fully stock right now. Trigger job is down the road, but a sure thing. Is there a benefit to using one or the other with revolvers? I know federal primers are preferred for lighter trigger pulls, but does size matter?
Looking at reloaders currently, haven't decided on a model yet, would appreciate some guidance. Had a XL550, but hated it, primer issues. Not dedicated to a brand, but leaning towards a 750, but would appreciate some feedback.
-
Thanks two shoes.
I am a glutton for punishment. I kind of got hooked on revolver when I first started shooting USPSA. While I have a shadow 2 for production if I so chose, I prefer revolver.
Watching JM shoot, then running into a few guys at Rayner's Range who also shot revolver pretty well helped me lean that way. I started out with a G17, sold that rig, and set up a 625 rig, which is long gone now, unfortunately, and now trying to replicate it.
-
Been out of the loop for a long period of time, so I thought I would say hello.
Going to get back into USPSA again, as I left due to obligations of work and family several years ago. Currently contemplating guns to make the return (leaning revolver).
I live in North Central Ohio, recently joined Tusco Rifle Club in New Philly. Haven't shot much in the last 7 or so years, so looking to get back out on the range. In the past, I have shot at clubs like crooked Creek Ashtabula and Rayner's down south.
Maybe I will see some of you on the range.
-
Thanks for the suggestions.
I spoke with with a co-worker who owns a TS. Spoke highly of it action wise, but fit and finish left something to be desired. With that freshly in my mind, I stopped by a shop last night and stumbled upon a Urban Grey Shadow 2. It followed me home.

Think I have decided on a CZ tactical Sport. Any recommended dealers?
Its been a long time since I have competed, looking forward to getting back in to it.

I love the genre, but I was seriously disappointed with 'The Crazies'.
It lacked zombies. It lacked the gore. It lacked the hopelessness.
-
It was an excellent book. I agree with the article that was posted, it deserves to be made well if it is made.

Powerslave was the first cassete I bought to play in my new boom box.
Seen them in concert twice. I'll have to check out the new stuff.

Things have been good until the last three days.
Sunday, the dog starts drinking water like it is going out of style, and peeing like there is no tomorrow, with plenty of accidents in the house. Took the dog to the vet Monday, took blood and urine. Results Tuesday.
Today, I had probably the worst day of work I have had since I destroyed a $20,000 die cast die insert several years ago. I have been worried sick about the dog to the point of being irritable and possibly aggressive, then at 3:00 PM my wife calls to tell me that a friend of mine died last night. Vets office at 6:00PM to find out my dog has diabetes, and possibly Cushings disease, both treatable but serious diseases.
My wife and I are upset about the dog, I am upset over the loss of my friend along with being scared of dealing with friends whom I don't speak with anymore.
I hate that things have to go bad.

I had 2 stoppages of that type with a 17. Handloads were so light that the brass was almost rolling out of the gun during ejection.
-
I picked up 25 cases of 45 the last time I was at the range. Looked at the headstamps and saw NT, then noticed the primer. They are small primers, and crimped. They all went in the trash. Sign of things to come I think.
-
I am looking for a gunsmith in NE Ohio that can cut a dovetail for a front sight into a Springfield slide. I am looking for quick turnaround more than cost at this point. Any recommendations?
-
My Mark III has had almost 1000 rounds of Winchester Wildcat through it without a problem. Also fired a couple hundred bulk Federal and a 20 year old box of remington that was cruddy enough for me to consider throwing it away than shooting it. All without a problem.
I have only fired 50 rounds of Wolf Target through it, but no problems.

Posing as a FFL holder or employee is not advised. Honestly, it is pretty ignorant of the dealer for him to even suggest it.
FEDEX and UPS offer Second Day Air that you can use to ship handguns. It is much cheaper than over night. Shipping a pistol in a flat rate box, insured, with adult signature required isn't all that cheap. Last one I sent was $18.75 USPS. Expect to pay a little more than that for the others, but not much. And there is no quesiton as to the legality.

Thank you. I will pick up some replacement screws. Think I will get an ez out (if I don't already have one). The fit on these is atrocious.
