Welcome to the forum. You'll be hooked on competition in no time.

The folks at Shooter Connection are great if the biggest complaint is the plasters not matching, then you guys are doing a pretty good job. Thanks you Chuck, Mike and all of the Shooters Connection crew. You guys are great for our shooting sports.

You are exactly right you have to push the limits to see improvement.

My #1 lesson is "you have to shoot each stage with no fear". I don't mean shoot it reckless but you have to know and be confident that all the hours spent on the range practicing and all the hours spent dry firing have prepared you for any stage you may come across. This is a lesson I am still trying to learn.

Welcome to the forums. I'm located in Columbia about 1 hour east of you. I've shot at Green River Gun Club before it is a nice range.

Please attach a pic.

I prefer to practice with the same ammo I compete with. I like to know exactly what the gun should feel like when I pull the trigger and it recoils.

That sounds like a perfectly legitimate question to me. Lol

I use a Dawson that I bought at Shooters Connection and have no problems.

If you have the money get the 650 it will be the best investment ever.

A rule of thumb I try to use is get 90-95% of the point available on each stage as fast as I can. If I'm getting less then I know I need to slow down.

I have used them before in 9mm and have no complaints about the product at all. The only down side for me was it always seemed like they were out of what I was ordering and it took a while for them to arrive at my door.

When I shot Glocks the first thing I did was put new sight on the gun (warren tactical). The front sight post on the stock sights is way to wide for my taste and need for competition shooting.

I agree with the rest I have one that I use for dry fire only and it works great.

Great looking gun. I don't own a Benny gun but I know he does great work.

Happy New Year to all and best of luck in 2012.

In October I bought an STI Trojan from shooters connection and love it. It is a great gun that I have had zero problems with. To date I have put about 2000 rounds through it, and it shoots great. Hope this aids in your decision.

I would go with limited. If you've been shooting SS then it wont be a new set of sight to learn. You can spend your compeditive season focusing on things like getting in and out of positions and movement, without having to worry about 4 reloads a stage. Just my 2 cents.

Shoot your single stack, it is a lot of fun. Take the money you have saved and buy a 650, you will love it.

Congrats on the new baby.

I also think the bullet tray is a must. If you don't have one get one. I just got a 650 2 months ago, after I got it set up and tuned the way I wanted it the first 200 rounds I loaded only took me 11 minutes. You may also want to think about have multiple primer tubes filled so you don't have to stop loading you can just add more primers. I have eight primer tubes so I fill them all then I can just worry about making ammo.
