I was looking at E3, seems to be a shortage of published pistol data for it. I recall 10 or so years ago people on this reloading forum debating if it was the next great powder or was too fast for pistol loads and would blow up your gun. I found some 38 special 158 loads and 45acp, I did not locate any data for 38 special 124/125gr bullets. The other powder I came across was Alliant BE 86, also another newer powder I have zero experience with.

I looked through almost 40 years of reloading manuals and the lowest 38 special bullet weight loading I could find was for a 148gr wad cutter. I am trying to find a powder that has similar characteristics to Solo 1000. It is a flake powder, somewhat bulky, clean burning, soft shooting, low SD in the calibers I was loading it in.
This was for WST powder.

I have tried regular Clay's and Titegroup as well. I will look at WST data, I have not tried it yet either.

I am trying to replace 38 special 124/125gr and 158/160gr minor and 45acp 200/230gr major.

I just opened my last 8lb jug of Solo 1000, and I am trying to find a replacement powder. I had started trying powders, but with the limited availability of powders it has been a pain. I have and use N320 and Universal for other caliber and loads, but was not happy with the results trying to use them as a replacement for Solo 1000 loadings. The powders I have yet to try in the same burn rate are Trail Boss, E3, and the Ramshot powder line. What powder did you guys use to replace Solo 1000?

Well as just a range toy you might consider this, if you can justify the price over a base 629, for the LPA rear sight and milled rail.

Good luck with the new venture Warren. Any plans for a hammer mounted firing pin version in the future?

Anyone making a sight base for the K100 yet? Jaroslav was posting pictures of sight base on the Grand Power Facebook page some time back, but still nothing. Perhaps just buy a blank from EGW and machine the correct dovetail, seems to be the only option.

I like the cylinder release on the one with the PPC sight.

It is time for NROI to address 3.3.1 for Kalifornia again.

Is anyone making a dovetail base for the regular K100 yet?

Thanks Eli!

I think I fixed the link Eli.

I have a question about a Tanfoglio part. I was wondering if any of you know what the part number would be for the extended oval magazine release like on the Stock 3 pistols. There are several different part numbers listed on the EAA website for witness mag. releases. I found this one on the EG website, but no part number and no way to tell if it is the extended release.

Also if any of you have a Henning conefit guide rod, what is the O.D. of the guide rod at the widest point.

Do not listen to this please. It is sad when someone who lives in the state does not know the laws of their own state and cities, but attempts to give legal advice on that which they do not know. Possession of magazines greater then 10 rounds is a crime in the city of Sunnyvale, San Francisco, and as of this year Los Angeles. There is no provision for "Grandfathered", or magazines owned legally before the year 2000 in these cities.
I live and shoot here in Ca the mags are ok to have and use you just can't buy or sell them here I shoot nothing but STI open and limitedI'm thinking of going to the match. Can someone chime in on mag restrictions? Is it only 10 rounders? Not sure if I can even buy 10 rd. mags for my STI double stack.
Once again the information you need is posted in the links I listed above.
Just in case for some reason you do not want to bother to go to the links the important information is here.
CAPC~32310. Except as provided in Article 2 (commencing with Section
32400) of this chapter and in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section
17700) of Division 2 of Title 2, commencing January 1, 2000, any
person in this state who manufactures or causes to be manufactured,
imports into the state, keeps for sale, or offers or exposes for
sale, or who gives, or lends, any large-capacity magazine is
punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year or
in the state prison.
Or in simple terms.
The age of the magazine and the age of the gun mean nothing. The critical item is possession of the magazine(s) in California before January 1, 2000.
Yes, you can go out of state and buy magazines of any capacity - but you may not bring "large-capacity magazines" back to CA - that would be importing and that can be charged as a felony. 'Importing' ALSO applies to moving here or visiting here. Buying and disassembling and bringing the magazines back to California after JAN 1, 2014 (AB 48) appears to be illegally importing a 'kit'.
Yes, you can take one of those kits you possessed in California before Jan 1, 2014 and create a 10-round magazine from the parts and some method of blocking the capacity. The modification is supposed to be 'permanent', but there is no guidance on what that means in law, regulation, or court cases. Use your best judgment!
You can have "large-capacity magazines"; except in the above listed cities, no one may give them or sell them to you in California, and you may not give or sell them to anyone else in California; the law changed to be more specific in 2014: you may not buy or receive them. This includes sales from LEO and interfamilial transfers - that can be charged as a felony.
Very scary, and confusing. At the end of the day, no one cares. Used to live there, had pre-ban stuff times 1000. There are so many open shooters in Cali that started only a few years ago that it's laughable. So say what it is. No one cares. Don't give me the advice of some lawyer, or DOJ hack. No one cares-period.
I just want people to know what the laws are, what they are risking by potentially breaking the law and how to do it within the law. There is a 99.9% chance nobody will run into any issues or problems, but who wants to be that .1% that ends up loosing their guns, magazines, and catching that felony charge that prohibits you from ever owning firearms? With the new ban on magazines within the city of Los Angeles, you are hard pressed to get anywhere from LAX, and north to south without being in violation of the law. You are correct if USPSA shooters in this state were in line with the law Limited 10 would be THE division of choice, but it is not. Hell USPSA will not even enforce 3.3.1 here, though with LA City passing an absolute ban they might actually have to rethink that.

Just use a mag blocker.

The modification to 10 rounds would need to be permanent for it to be legal. The CA PC is 32310 that covers "High Capacity" magazines, this is updated from the old CA PC numbering 12020.

I must have missed the survey that showed that the majority of the 100ish shooters at Nationals dislike 8 shot guns and are only shooting them to be competitive. Strangely enough, everyone I know has more fun shooting 8 shot minor, even the 6 shot diehards who finally tried it out of curiosity.Matt, Jerry, and Cliff were spending some quality time together. They are discussing a new revolver sport, 6 shot only, clothing optional.
6 shot major/8 shot minor level playing field huh?
It is not a question of dislike, in order to win you must shoot and 8 shot gun. It is not a level playing field period.
I would also like to point out to those people who were accusing Jerry of being the driving force behind this 8 shot minor rules change, that he has not shot a major revolver match since the change.
If the 8 shot minor was to increase revolver participation at major matches has it succeeded? If going by the nationals numbers no.
2013 First stand alone revolver match(no 8 shot minor) 119 participants
2014 Second stand alone revolver match(8 shot minor) 113 participants
2015 Third stand alone revolver match(8 shot minor) 106 participants
If it was to increase it at the local level has it done that?
Based on classifier scores 3% or so,

I can't believe everybody missed this comment........HA. Ahhh the internet...where the men are men and the sheep are nervousI read somewhere on the internet that kilts were invented because the sound of a zipper scares off the sheep!

Not sure where it was rejected by the ADs. I remember a majority thinking it was a good idea. That's how it was passed.
Chuck there has been some messages back and forth between people on this subject that have not been publicly posted in this thread, and others spilled over to the impact of this rule in Colorado. I have not personally seen the e-mails, but the information in the messages was e-mailed to me so take it at that value. Chris has indicated that because possession of these magazines is allowed in CA, the rule does not apply. He does not take into account however that legally obtaining these magazines in CA was illegal after the year 2000. Amidon has also said the same thing to the shooters in Colorado, with regards to the application of this rule in their state. Keep in mind however the Colorado law is written differently then the CA law. I know you are no longer an AD, but was your thought process when this came up for voting, and how would you interpret the rule?
We all have a lot invested in guns, magazines, and equipment, Atlas probably more so because he has a thing for those eye-tal-yon blasters, but at some point something is going to have to give here in CA. I could be like most people are and say well I have mine so screw everyone else, but I look around and none of us are getting any younger sadly, but thankfully I see a lot of young and junior shooters coming up. USPSA passed this rule, I would think and hope to try to keep a level playing field for the shooters behind enemy lines, but unless it is applied it is pointless.
I know there are some different circumstances this will not apply to, but please be open minded. New shooters in CA are basically limited to shooting in production or L10, unless they had magazines before the ban or they were obtained illegally. I am not going to make further public comment on what I know people have done or do that shoot open or limited here in CA, lets just say L10 is not as popular as one would think. If a new shooter or junior wants to shoot open without breaking the law they are going to be doing so with 10 round magazines, and at a severe disadvantage. Should the rule be modified to where everyone at a match in open loads down if a shooter shows up with only 10 round magazines, or should the rule be applied as written.
-
Correct.The national office was overreaching
Is this also in the rule book or USPSA bylaws under optional? If it was indeed nullified it is no longer in the rulebook, but last time I checked it still is in the rulebook, therefore they are ignoring the rule.it was rejected by the area directors and it was forgotten; it's call nullification.

You are right. After all, it is in the part of the rulebook marked "OPTIONAL".
