    CZ P07 Duty

    It is on the production list
  2. Yes it would but think about what it would do to a pepper popper! Agreed! Great post Cliff, I noticed the History Channel doesn't have chat anymore (at least not for Top Shot) and I figure it was all the losers griping about this and that and how they didn't do it the way that poster thought it should be done. If you don't like the show go watch American Idol or something! BTW Cliff, its my understanding you shoot with my old club from time to time, Tampa Bay Pistol Club. Good bunch there, I moved to Texas in 1997 and miss that crowd. Just ask about the guy that used to shoot a S&W627 in the 5th Sunday matches rather than an open gun with the handloads that where loud and sometimes scorched the targets. A guy once asked me if I used those loads to scare the poppers and plates in to jumping down to the ground so they wouldn't feel the pain! Have fun all!
  3. Should be interesting but if they wanted drama why didn't they recruit Dawson?
  4. Shinny and dry! Like others have said polish the heck out of it! Lots of things folks oil don't need it or they use the wrong oil!
  5. Great replies guys! I showed him this thread and he finally fessed up. A guy he shoots with has a bunch of 9X21 brass and dies and such he wants to sell (for too much!) and the guy tried to tell him he couldn't make the PF safely with a 9X19! Well he is all excited now that he knows he doesn't have to set it up for 9X19. They go to the range on Sunday mornings when I'm at church, I'm tempted to take a Sunday morning off just to tell this guy he is a moron!
  6. Was talking with a coworker who wants to get into shooting IPSC. He has a 9X19 CZ and is talking about making a open gun with it and wants to just rechamber the barrel for 9X21. I told him just shoot it as 9mm Major but he is bent on 9X21 for some reason. So can he rechamber the barrel or should he just get a 9X21 chambered barrel to begin with?
  7. I have seen it done on Glocks, XDs, M&Ps and anything with plastic grips. Joe W. Good deal, I thik I even have some stuff lying around I could practice on, now to figure out what to charge him if I decide to do it.
  8. Got a buddy with a Glock that was talking about wanting to do this, has anyone tried this procedure on a tupperware gun?
  9. Good to see the gun is running right now, I went through a case of this except it was a brother that had the gun. But he didn't know any better and does now. Benny, love the Avatar!
  10. 9X21 in the super comp ..... NO! I know at least with a 38 super its not a good thing. At an area championship somehow somebodies 9X21 got thrown into my ammo bag and this guy used the same bullets I did. I hand checked all my ammo before a match, my best guess was that after picking up the 9X21 loaded with the same bullet somebody thought it was mine and tossed it in my bag Gun locked up big time and cost me a stage!!! Yes I was POed!
  11. HS-6 is WW 540... It's all over the place... I think I'll just have to look into that! The N105 as well. CocoBolo, Nothing wrong with an old school comp that works, this one isn't bad but the softest flatest thing I ever shot was a (OK showing my age again) Jet Comp ... BUT not in the way the made it. I started with a Jet Comp where it had 4 chambers and three ports, the rear chamber had three jet ports in it. Well they erode quickly! So when they started eroding I just stuck it in the vise under the mill and opened it up into a 4 port comp, the rear chamber was big so it made for a big port, but man that thing shot soft and level as you could expect! Thank again guys.
  12. Thanks for the info so far, lots of good stuff. My gun is a dinosaur by todays standards, I run a 3 port EGW comp that I opened the rear port slightly and I have one poppet hole in the barrel (who came up with that name, we always just said we drilled a hole in the darn thing!) I figure I'm going to run above the 165PF because this thing always ran best with a 180PF at sea level, of course I'm at 3300 feet now so it my old loads wouldn't be quite that fast. So for runing a slightly high PF which would you go with?
  13. So people, I need to drag the press out and blow the dust off and reload some 38 super ammo. OK now I'll date myself and how long its been since I competed (kids are now out of the house and the wife has her degree and a good job!) I had been using 130 gr remington jacketed bullets with 9.4 grains of WW 540 & Federal 205s. So I have some 125 gr bullets and was wondering what powder would be a good choice (ya try to find WW 540 now days!)
  14. Went very well, but then again my wife (who I was explaining it to) is a mathematician
  15. I suspect someone would have called foul if he had cocked it back, I haven't shot revolver in years but when I did my guns I had cut the spur off, with experience it is not hard to shoot DA only to stage a wheel gun.
  16. Forgot to comment on Tara, yes they should give her a shot if she wants it in season 2.
  17. I have to disagree with the comments about this guy Chief AJ, I heard about this Chief AJ guy years back and from what folks that knew him had to say he is a self made expert and superstar that does not deserve the titles he give himself. Is he funny, sure. Is he a character, yes. Does he hold this slingshot title, yes. It was my understanding he had to search and search to find something he could set a record at and tried many different things. I talked with a guy that had taken a shooting course he gave and the guy said it was really a joke and he learned nothing in this overpriced class. So Chief AJ may be better than I've been told but I haven't seen anything impressive come out of him as of yet. I could think of more than a few people I'd like to see host the show rather than Chief AJ, including Colby Donaldson. JMO.
  18. That is funny, I had not looked at it that way. GMs are not unbeatable. In a side match I was teamed up with a GM that I will not name but I will say everyone here knows that name. We where doing a blind draw 2X4 shoot for the cash. The GM and I (at that point I was shooting B open and was on the verge of an "A" card) planed it out, he started on the right and I was from the left. We both went prone as well. It was simply, that the team that cut the 2X4 in half between the painted lines fastest won. Well we didn't win, we didn't even place second when everyone said we where the team to beat. One of the things that was funny was we both shot our guns dry and had to reload. Those watching said it was like syncronized swiming but with guns and fully dressed. Our down fall, our little 38 supers screaming out the end of the barrel poked tiny holes in the 2X4, the winning team both shot limited 45ACPs and each round blew chunks out the back of the 2X4 with every hit. The second place team was a master and "B" open shooter. The GM and I came in third. The winning team was a "D" and "C" class limited shooters! A GM card doesn't make you a shooting God!
  19. Brad I'll I will say is you did good ..... now switch to that CZ and really start shooting As far as why Denny hasn't gone to elimination ..... Maybe the red team was thinking of getting the competition off before its too late? No I'm not trying to drag up garbage from episode 5 ..... I'm just saying Denny hasn't performed toward the top from what we have seen from the outside. Would you want to shoot against someone like Denny or Brad? JMO I do have to say the kid (Kelly) is doing great. He has knocked out everyone that he has come against. Do I remember correctly that Brad was the only to knock out another team member, Kelly has taken out the rest.
  20. I thought they shot loads with corn meal and a wax plug in them to pop the balloons If memory serves me right they use a regular 45LC case with black powder and a wad. Knew a guy used to do the trick (fake) shooting and he said the flame from the black powder is what would bust the ballons. Thats the reason why you never see targets further than 15 feet away. No bullet means no recoil.
  21. How about large targets at 2000 meters with a M2
  22. I could not tell you what type of titanium we used years back (early 90s) building titanium comps. What I can say is that as calishootr mentioned the ports eroded quickly but also more than one comp was also launched down range, keep in mind it doesn't expand and contract at the same rate as the steel used for the barrels. They did produce quite a show with the sparks. We didn't have a lot of luck with aluminum/steel comps either. I personally launched one down range. We just went back to using steel.
  23. at first it looked as if you where trying to define what "is" is
  24. Well I finally watched the 3rd episode on line. Brad, the folks editing this program are trying to make you look the fool! You gave them plenty of ammo to do it with as well. Good job standing up to 2 eliminations at this point. As for Kelly and Bill ..... ya that was odd, but I wasn't there. So Brad I'm curious, did they get any more comments on tape that are going to make you look bad?
