Yep. 2550-2750. Settled on 2600 as per the OCW test it was perfect-to!

I'd go with the 4. Bit more versatile IMHO especially on tight shots.

Nick name (Logged in as:) would be nice too in the shirt. Maybe avatar also.
Other than the avatar, my login is on my current shirts.

I'd have to go with JT on this one. It's more a function of etiquette than a necessity of a rule.
I clear the pistol pretty fast and once holstered and locked I usually turn to the RO, give him a smile and wait for the RIC command. Then do whatever needs to be done (brass, tape, check hits, etc.).

Corey - We're going to have to get you out west, if only for a club match.

I've watched open guns over the last 12 years that I've shot and I still own (and shoot) my first Open gun. Through the short gun fad and now the 9 Major craze, my Open gun(s) are basically the same as what was used in the early to mid-90's. Heck...I load my ammo at 172-173 PF as it just runs the gun better and feels better (even at Steel Challenge matches).
Personally, what I would like to see is a wider variety of Open guns. While the STI/SVI is definitely the standard, that doesn't mean we can't see more of a variety. Thank goodness EAA is back in the game as well as Glocks but that doesn't mean we can't have XD's & M&P's in the mix too. However, like Jake said, it's not like the old days where everybody and their brother with a mill wanted to find the best widget. Material isn't getting cheaper and folks are just less willing to invest in R&D.
I've heard an awesome design for a rifle action from a known rifle shooter and the response from many shops to do the work was that they can't keep up with the sales of what they have now, so anything new would hinder that, even though it IS better.
It's kind of frustrating, but the optimist in me says that maybe due to the work that was put in over the last 2 decades, maybe it's a sign that we can now concentrate on being better marksman instead of chasing the latest and greatest widget.

Don't rule out JVDynamics. Jojo Vidanes is THE guy when it comes to 9mm Open guns.

Backyard Outfitters (or something like that)

...Find someone with an airway trainer and dump half a can of vegetable soup in the airway. Now, clear the airway and try and do proper CPR with one of those shields....
THAT'S AWESOME!!! I thought we were the only ones that did that!!!

Actually I did learn that. Don't ask how. It was a stupid day at the range.

One thing that Chris and I found interesting at the range was the brass comes out cool.
Weird.

Also, I think Chargemaster's really like (at least mine does) throwing 45.3 grains of Varget. It was spittin' those out SUPER fast.
Rich
What the heck are you loading at 45.3?
308.
Rich
For Chris...
No pressure signs either (welll....not bad ones anyways.
)...not bad for a factory rifle!

Well that seals it. Gonna go buy 2 more mags. I wasn't sure about them, but we've got the Keigans stamps of approval.
Seriously sweet lookin' rifle!

Area 4 is a maybe. Open Nat's is more likely.

Absolutely spot on Doc.
Get the big guns rollin' before anything else. My rule was when I dropped people off at the CSH was as long as they were alive when I handed them off, I did my job.

AI mags. They're not cheap, but they work.

Mikey!!!!
Man...if I'd have known you'd be there, I'd have gone. Congrats on the USSA deal!!!

SPR-E. It's about "E" better.
Seriously though, it'll do what you want.

California Family Fitness in Natomas. Love that place!

Given all that, give a serious look to a CZ in 9mm. VERY affordable, probably the best pistols ergonomically there is and the frames are small enough for most womens' hands. Hi-caps are readily available as well as "race" gear or more production oriented gear. Triggers are easily tuned too.

Black Dog Machine has them.

Absolutely. The first one is the sacraficial lamb (or practice...depending on your perspective

9mm 1911, CZ SP01. Open gun with a cut down grip...
I'll second this. We built an ex-girlfriend an open gun built on a cut down Entreprise frame (basically making it an officers model) and then with no grips added grip tape (like with Caspians).
Worked like a champ 'til we broke up.

ETA: She was 5' (maybe) and all of 95 pounds.

Patrick - That's perfect!

I would check your press/priming tool. I've found the opposite that Win brass is a bit more soft than R/P. However, if you're looking for a good uniformer (which is what I'd use instead of a swager) go for the Sinclair with drill attachment. Chuck the uniformer in to a drill and knock 'em out.
