    There isn't crap up there. It's a crappy town!!! However, there are a couple of cool clubs in/around Kansas City (Mill Creek and Bullet Hole come to mind). Too, in Shawnee Mission, KS (just outside KC) is the Hodgdon company HQ. If you want to do a drive, you could go out to the Sierra/Starline plants. The tour is cool.

    Jack - Fans are your friend. If it makes you feel better, we're in the upper 70's/low to mid 80's all this week with nice breezes coming in from the ocean to keep the temp down. Crystal clear blue sky and sunny can get old sometimes though.

    On a serious side, peel down layers, get a fan and a glass of ice in front of the fan.

    Hornady L-n-L AP Progressive -Dillon Dies 9mm

    Best of luck to ya'. I challenge you to find a more helpful bunch of people anywhere. It appears you do not understand the loading process as much as you might think. You were offered help and opinions, you did not like the opinions. Had you been a little more thick skinned you would have all of your questions answered by now.

    I echo sandman's statements, that you probably have bit more than you can chew to this point. A little bit of education of die sets, their associated jobs and uses would have been fruitful. While I'm all for seller disclosure, there are some things that are apparent and that includes a bit of personal accountability.

    That said, nothing from Hornady equals anything from Dillon in the way of quality, service to customer and support of the shooting sports...especially the predominent one of the members of this forum and its host. And a thousand bullets is a drop in the bucket to being able to call Dillon for ANYTHING and getting it sent out the same day and repaired/replaced for free.

    ETA: So that I'm not a total jerk, I bet if you contact of the OP of this thread he'd consider buying them off of you.

    M&P Limited Gun vs. S_I (etc)

    Jeff - Since you're used to a long trigger pull anyways (i.e. from your CZ/EAA and the M&P) there's no reason other than mag capacity (I don't know what a M&P mag in 40 with extensions hold) that you couldn't do well.

    As for the 5" vs. 6" vs. sight radius of a M&P well...all I'll say is this. I'm pretty sure that Travis kid on the AMU uses a 5" gun and he's won a couple of big matches recently.

    Can't find the rule regarding using a holster

    in USPSA/IPSC Rules

    Posted · Edited by uscbigdawg

    I've seen it (and have not been opposed to it) where with new shooters we'll have them start low ready or GSSF ready. It eliminates a potential source of safety concern until they're more comfortable. Ultimately, we're all adults (by age) and so after some discussion and review of safety, I ask them how they feel about it. Let's face it. First timers aren't going to win the match, so if there's a new guy who's nervous, dumbing down the rules for the sake of a guy coming back (to me) is an easy call.

    ETA: Thanks Tom.

    OP - 5.2.1 is pretty close. Tie that with 5.2.3 and I think you'll get it. 8.3.7.3 isn't a bad idea either.
