  1. i been using a dummy round without primer so i can visually confirm it is just a dummy .. I use white case brass so I can distinguish it better plus I use different colored bullet head than I normally load live rounds.. I dont really chamber them in and press the trigger, my purpose is just to dry fire / draw / change mag with those added weight which I though closely realistic when actually doing those process. hope this will help
  2. OK as promised .. Here is what I got so far. bullet= bayou 135 grain RN powder = N320 3.4 Grain primer = small magnum federal blue box(sorry thats the only one I have) mix brass of 9mm AOL 1.125 Gun = G-34 (factory barrel) makes 128 -130 PF soft recoil / less smoke perfect for dark stage/ keeps the barrel clean (really clean). Im happy about it.
  3. thanks, that data will help . at least that gives me an idea of safe starting load . I will post my data result once I tested it and achieve a 132-135 PF for glock 34
  4. hi .. I just got this nice bullet I heard lots of great things about it. did anyone had experience loading 135grain 9mm bayou with either n-320 or titegroup also im looking for its load for 147 grain bullet Im trying to findout which will be best / Im going to shoot glock 34. my reloader dies are set to 1.135 oal. any recommended load will be appreciated. thanks
  5. I just bought the 19 dollar stanley tool box with wheels / I figure out it looks durable to sit on and can hold my icebox below and many other junks then more stuff on top , is that the same one you are using? do u find it durable enough?
  6. I have seen few educational DVDs among those dvd I can tell that Saul Kirch is probably is the best but too bad He lives in Europe. But this is what I always hear from folks I shoot with that Manny Bragg is for them is the best . those are guys who experience taking instruction from numerous super GM / I was told that He tend to take his class from level to level : (you have to take his first course before moving to the next) . I have limited time and money to spend for this kind of class ... so I made some research I decided it has to be a 1:1 training . someone who shoot the same gun as I do ... Glock . I finally end up contacting Robert Vogel because of few reasons ... He is the best Production shooter , He is the best Glock shooter , and the bonus part is He is just within driving distance from where I am ... He lives in Ohio. I learned how he train . the reasons for his movements. He share to me what He do to gain advantage on every little things that most of us dont even see. He is certainly a very smart and a very nice person. my $600 training turned out to be a great investment. this young fellow pointed me to right direction. He is beyond my expectation. I wish I can say that I wanted to take another class with him . But I truelly believe that I dont need anyomore training from anyone . He gave me all the foundations that I need . I just have to do now is to keep it building.
  7. its still looks great thou lol . Im beginning to think maybe for a hoser stage I dont need a prescription glass.
  8. Thanks Sean for sharing what you know , this really helps us... extremely informative.
  9. thanks Greg I will experiment on that ... I have few removable prescription lense to play. but wont that make you dizzy or give you headache if your eyesight are not balance? or you just wear it just before the stage?
  10. I normally wear prescription glasses when I drive and also when I shoot. I have prescription oakley and some prescription rudyproject glasses , last week I bought a cheap sunglasses camera, first I was hesitant to use it in the match because I know my sight will be a little blurry with it, my first 3 stage I use my prescription glasses I made bad hits, so I said to myself my game is already a mess I will use my Sunglasses Camera so I can see what Im doing wrong. but something better happen Im actually kicking ass . I was shooting alot faster and my transition and accuracy is good too.. I was shooting Limited10 but I finished strong on combine result very competitive finish againts alot of better shooters in all division. my theory is that my eyes are alot faster wearing non prescription because that is my normal eyesight , ( im only -1.00 on both eyes I dont need glasses to within a 5 yard distance further than that its blurry ) so it seems I see the frontsight clear but blurry on target ... anyone else had experienced or notice this?
  11. I never saw or even think of this as showboating , like what gentlemanjim says i just rack the slide and catch the ammo the gun is already empty before i move my other hand to catch the ammo . I would find it very shallow for competitive shooters to think this as a showboating because theres nothing special about it. the only reason I do this is I dont like to drop my ammo on the ground its sometimes hard to find once its on the ground. especially the range where I shoot it has grass. So most of you think its showboating.? most think this is unsafe. do you also know that alot of people think that our sport is unsafe? that we may shoot ourself when we draw our guns? its nice to learn from this forum too that there is no written rule againts this in eiter IDPA or USPSA. I wont intentionally do it because I now learn that alot of competitive shooters think of these as showboating and feels uncomfortable with this . But if it happens that I do it in the match Its not my intention to showboat it just comeout what I was doing in practice.
  12. I know in IDPA they dont allow this ammo catching after you shoot your stage for safety reason. , Some of shooters in USPSA /IPSC do this in the match, I recently was told by someone in local match that it is not allowed anymore even in USPSA. is that something new?

    Glock 24

    how do you load your ammo on G-24? do you use less powder compared to G-35, I currently use 200G montana 4.2 titegroup oal 1.12 for my G-35 it gives me about 170pf. someone told me I might need lesser powder and its more forgiving to recoil .
  14. That guy is a fighter. reminds me of my friend in a local indoor club where I started shooting , He only have one arm hes good and sometimes can beat everyone in the match, literally singlehandedly beat us... He complaints if the stage involves too much reloading , what a whinner lol .. Im trying to convince him to play uspsa , Im still hoping he will. Hes a nice person too.
  15. yes ... most of the time its available hehehe / Actually I think magnum primer is louder , that is just my observation , but of course i cant confirm it I may had been bias if i knew im using magnum primer.
  16. hey can I still join ... A-66257 C-L-10 B-production my only problem is theres not much classifier in my area
  17. i still have this problem keeping both eyes open / i sometime find my self closing my non dominant eye .. tape helps me too when i started to correct it .

    Glock 24

    anyone have seen a glock 24 lately?? I heard its good for limited . [edit]
  19. its amazing isnt it . not unless you experience it you will never really know. I been hearing alot of good stuff about getting a training with Manny Bragg . I just happen to be another Glock person and on my opinion Bob Vogel will be a great Glock Guru for me and I prove my assumption right. Im very thankfull to the man.... by the way Mr Panda .I had been reading alot of your post since I started here in Benos.. I think you have the gift of writing Books are you about to make any??
  20. I never believed that I would be needing a class before .. I bought books and DVD , and closely following advices here in this forun.. by just doing that I won the last winter ssp expert class and got bumped to master class ... but what strikes me is that how come that Robert Vogel has that massive points ahead of everybody, he outscore everyone on the match. So I planned taking class with him , I found him very accomodating and very easy to set-up a schedule with, I choose to set a 1:1 class with him, I travelled by car for 11 hrs to meet him in Lima Ohio, that guy has a great teaching method , very easy to get along , very intelligent , talented and humble He has strong work ethics despite heavy rain He didnt wasted my time we both got soak in the rain but it didnt stop us training. afer learning and knowing this guy whom I would rather call "the super Cop" of shooting sport. I was amazed how much more room I have for improvements. I will be spending the next few months performing his training regime .. Im excited if where this will bring me... so my tips for improvement is Learn from the best on your prospective division, those guys are doing something right that we are doing wrong....
  21. I just got my new 2011 edge / 5 inch/ im looking to buy appropriate holster for limited, any recommendation please... I heard the ghost seems a good one/ how about the cr speed or the new double alpha? any input is appreciated..
  22. thats no longer true .. there are now DM who seems to be the cherry on top of you Mr Cream....
  23. well since I got nothing else to do but wait ... Im going to start making ammo for it. Im going to order from montana gold 180 gr jhp a case for now hehehe .... by the way do you guys even dare to use lead bullet for it?
  24. Im a little anxious to know ... Bob/ Brazos custom is processing my order ..cant really wait to find out what difference his gun is compared to stock sti edge from gun shop ... I normally shoot production and the only chance I handle a 2011 type is when I visit gun shop and occassionally feel the trigger licking good smoothness of the stock STI ... would the custom made are more smoother than that? as describe it is set to 2.5lbs is that any good? or I need a more lighter than that??? any BRAZONIAN here who might know?
  25. At our local clubs we seem to have a good mix of stages, we have Hosers and we have long shots, we kneel, we squat and occasionally we go prone. What we don't do, or try hard not to do is build a stage with multiple prone, or kneeling positions and if prone in particular is needed, we try to put it last. We, as many clubs do, have shooters from their teens and 20's all the way up to 60's and 70's with the vast majority probably from late 30's to late 50's. Physical challenges are fine and most of the time I am up for them, but we have to realize that vaulting an 8 foot wall, crawling through a 30 foot tunnel, running 50 yards to shoot one target, going kneeling or prone 3, 4, 5 or more times in one stage are going to cut into the number of shooters we have. So ironically will not having a series of physical challenges. The answer to this as with most everything in life is BALANCE. Too much physical challenge and we lose too many shooters, no challenges and we are arguably shooting Steel Challenge, PPC and Bullseye. Nothing wrong with any of those, but they are not us. So, go prone, at the last position or if needs be, one time in the middle, squat, but not multiple times, run, but don't make the match a foot race. There are plenty of other matches where the physical challenge is paramount to the match. Matches like the North American Tactical Challenge, NC Recon, Blue Ridge Mountain 3-gun, and I am sure quite a few others. What we really need at our matches is Balance. I think that we do perhaps tend just a bit much to open targets and faster stages and we need tighter shots and longer shots. Vlad, Slav and the rest of you that design at OB, ignore that last bit, our stages are fine as they are. Jim Yep I like the way you set up matches in Old Bridge and long island ... its very well though.
