  1. General question ... for Prod and Carry Optics, do people generally prefer lighter guns?  I know B.J. won both divisions with a Glock, but guys like that, at that level, can really shoot anything.  Are guns like the PDP Steel frame and Shadow 2 not optimal?  If you were picking out a new gun, what would it be?

    OH great, and I just bought a Garmin. I like my Labradar better then the Garmin but it's kind of a pain because of the size and battery situation. I didn't see an accuracy claim on the Garmin and I was getting a 2% difference on them side by side.

     

    Which do you think has the better phone app and interface?  That is one of the deciding factors for me.

  3. So I drilled two holes in the strap already, but I think I did a good job.  Other than that, I never really got around to using it.  The invoice says it includes:

     

    1" Aluminum Ratcheting Buckle - High Release Type

    1" x 13" Custom Ladder Strap - SOFT

    Ladder Strap Feed/Retainer

    Specialty Hardware

     

    Hopefully someone can use it.

  4. Yes, same bullet.  One thing I didn't notice before was the barrel lengths used.  Hodgdon's notes a 7.7" barrel vs Hornday's 4". 

     

    I will start with the lowest load like Guy suggested and work up.  I will just watch the chrono.  I'll be interested to see what the results are so I'll have a better idea of which book to grab first when working up any future loads. 

  5. I'm trying to work up a 38 Special load for Steel Challenge (so PF not important).  I have 4 different Hodgdon powders and a bunch of Hornady 125gr FP/XTP bullets on hand.  When I look at the Hodgdon and Hornady reloading manuals, they seem to have differing suggested powder loads. 

     

    For example, for 231 powder, the Hodgdon manual has:

    • Starting Load: 4.3 gr  
    • Maximum Load : 4.9 gr 
    • OAL 1.455"

    while the Hornady manual has:

    • Starting Load: 4.8 gr  
    • Maximum Load : 5.7 gr 
    • OAL 1.450"

     

    I would expect some differences, but not that much ... especially with the Hornady loads having a shorter OAL.  So my question is, what should be my method for choosing the range of loads to try?

     

    Thanks.

     

  6. For the life of me I can't get my SDM sight to install on my 627.  Anyone know a trick that I'm missing?  I've installed other DX sights, but this one seems impossible.  I think because of the length of the actual sight.  My fingers are tore up!

    Yeah, it's the Performance Center version, 5", with aluminum case etc. 1100 shipped. 

     

    I found one not too long ago.  Didn't come with an aluminum case though.   Is it a factory case?
