Damn, Al....... you'll be the sharpest dressed person on our squad next month!
;) -Mike
Don't you mean, "...again."
Of course, my mistake............
LOL -
This is like Ferrari vs. Lamborghini. Pick one. Enjoy. Don't over-think. Dave & Bob both have great stuff.... it's a good 'problem' to have. Check availability, and go from there. Let us know how it ends up!

Looks like a great match. Congrats to all the winners!

Here is a little spin on it.......... if you want to 'cross train'........... use the same gun. If you are shooting a G35, you can do that easily..... but no matter which model, you've got the option. Shoot Limited Minor, etc......... that may be the most helpful.
I 'division AND gun switched' all last season........ and it did not help my shooting at all. My only New Year Resolution this year was to shoot one division all year and see how it goes. I decided to shoot my Open gun, and leave the plastic on the shelf for a while.
I felt like, as Merlin said, "Jack of all trades, and Master of none". Oh, one other thing--- make sure you are having FUN. If not, re-evaluate.

The several times I've come across this issue, a Brazos tuned extended ejector has fixed the problem, just FYI.

I wanna play! I wanna play! I have THREE open guns......... and my AND the wife both shoot Open. What cool title can you convey to me, Jamie?
-Mike

Very nice Dave. You made a wise decision.
I've always liked Bob's stuff, hence why the wife has one.

I can’t wait for Taran’s impersonation on this one...
Funny enough, that was my first thought after watching it, too.
Todd seemed to be enjoying himself, too. Good stuff!

Congrats on the SS win today........ you were even complimented by how well you shot by your chief competitor.
Nice job! All the work is paying off............

Set the scanner so it is always on and hanging off the edge of the table. Set your scoresheets in a pile below, pick one up and drag it past the scanner. All you have to do then is enter the hits and grab the next one. Get it setup for a fluid motion and I assure you if you have more than 20 shooters it will make a big difference. Alos, be sure to use the + and * shortcut keys if you don't already. They help alot as well.

Lee has been kind enough to set this up for our club and do our scoring lately. It really IS the coolest thing.

Wife and I have done this quite a few times...........we just let the RO know and then stand at the line and do the swap from holster to holster. Easy, too, since she's righty and I'm lefty.

Man, you finish building my open gun, have some free time..... and look what happens.
:lol: -
Big +1. I always said I wanted to shoot that well if I ever made it to 85 yrs. old. Waco will always feel a little emptier now without him.

Mark,
You forgot to add "weak hand only".
:D -
If your using stock barrel i wouldnt recommend using VV N320, thats too fast powder and makes your brass swell.
Im using VV N340 with 200grs bullets and no sign of swelling.
this is correct.... i even use powder thats slower than n340, 3n37 5.2gr 180gr lead is my recipe, i will also try ap100 next month cos the store selling vv is too far
Sorry to hear you've had that experience; I've done like 5K + loads, along with a bunch of my buddies, and have never had any issues at all. Best advice is find something that works for YOU and stick with it.

VihtaVourhi N320 loaded to 1.135 about 4.5g w/ a 180g bullet. Use at your own risk, of course, but this has worked for me in the past to make the PF level you are seeking.

I've always used Ghost. Looks like that does the same thing. Having a solid backup is a necessity, so this is a good plan.

I'm still a noob when it comes to shooting open, but I have shot quite a few different guns in my quest for the 'right' one, and I didn't care for the recoil impulse of the 9 major as much as 38 super, which was one of the factors in my decision.
-Mike
-
Even money says Mike is shooting Production by January, Limited by March, and Open by July!!
"Maybe" I can stop division switching long enough to actually learn how to shoot this time thru.
:blink: 
-
Who else here thinks Mike should man up, and go to an indoor range and sight it in, so he can shoot it at the Waco match tomorrow???
As bad as I've been shooting lately, I could probably NOT sight it in and people wouldn't even notice the difference!!
:blink: -
One last refresh on this to see if there is anyone else with info before I write it off.

EGW comp, KKM barrel, 38 super. 5" gun. STI frame/slide. Built by Brian H., aka Hawley Custom.
