So you're a dry fire maniac now. You're going to see huge improvements very quickly. I think I will start one of these range practice diaries as well.

+1 on Clays for .40 minor. 125.0 to 164.99999999.

Ha, I knew that was you right away.

I think I will place an order and try them out.

Is anyone using the 140 grain Bayou bullets in USPSA production division? I'm currently shooting 180 grain Berry's with 3.0 grains Clays at 1.13" OAL in my stock Glock 22. Should I expect a noticeable increase in recoil with the lighter bullet at the same power 135 power factor? When using a bullet like this that's light for its caliber, would I want to go with a fast powder like Clays, or something slower? My main motivation in playing with this bullet is to save money. Thanks.

I just fit a Kart EZ fit barrel to a new Caspian frame and slide. The lockup is nice and tight, even contact on the lower lugs, very smooth unlocking. In one of Gene Shuey's DVDs, he demonstrates a test where he inserts a pencil fully into the barrel and puts upward pressure on the breech end of the barrel while slowly pulling the slide back. If it binds during unlocking, then it's supposedly a problem, but he doesn't elaborate. When I do this, my barrel binds a tiny bit. Not a hard bind, just a click. My questions: What is the purpose of this test? What, if anything, should I do to correct this? Is there a possibility of peening the upper lugs if I shot it as is? Thanks.

Barrel unlocking before firing pin retracts?
