Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I've had better luck with gen 2's. All have worked perfectly.
  2. This is genius. I haven't seen this before. Going to be pulling a ring off a rapala tomorrow
  3. I wonder how the aftermarket will be. I'm going to list my Edge to get one in 9mm (haven't shot USPSA in a few years) and would love for it to double as a host.

    TEXAS STAR

    I shot the 5 star for the first time in my life last week. 3.57 seconds with my production Glock 34. I did it again today and choked on the first shot, ended with a 4.7 seconds. I think I could keep it pretty consistently around 3.75 seconds. Hands at sides, about 12 yards the first time, 15 yards today. Unclassified, non USPSA member.
  5. Thanks, that means a lot to me. I reread that post and don't know if that came across the way I wanted. I have no expectations of making GM or even M in the future. It would be great, but right now it isn't exactly my goal. For now my goal is to just get my A card by this time next summer. Unfortunately I have no internet connection until Sept. 1st, except for when I'm on campus so I will not be updating this thread for another week and a half most likely. I've been moving into my new apartment so there hasn't been any practice for the past 2 days, but now that I'm settled in I'm hoping to get back into the groove of things.
  6. I haven't joined USPSA yet. This is my first year ever shooting USPSA and unfortunately couldn't get started until around mid to late June. I shot probably 6 or 7 club level events this season. I then went to Alaska for a bit and now am returning school, where there are no clubs that participate in USPSA. Further, I live in Northern Minnesota and during the Fall, Winter, and Spring in northern North Dakota which has an even worse climate (and constant 20 mph winds). I am working on starting a competition shooting oriented club at my school (UND), and am hoping to bring USPSA to the area. I do shoot regularily and the little practice I've put in since I started USPSA and even more so, this thread, has made pretty large improvements in my shooting ability. It's pretty fun going out with friends with their AR's and AK's, placing clay pidgeons at 40 yards, playing a game of 'Horse', and beating them with my pistol. I plan to join USPSA next April. My practice is geared towards the club level events that start next May. The club I shoot it is not competitive what-so-ever, with maybe one A shooter so I am largely competing against myself, which I love. I hate to sound like every other noob to this sport, but ultimately my goal is get my M and one day my GM card. When I started I shot low C, right now I probably shoot low B to mid B. I'm really just trying to nail down the basics (IE draws, reloads, transitions) the best I can before I start shooting classifiers. Right now I can manage 6 second El Presidentes, which ideally will be around 5 seconds come April. I shoot a stock G34 in production. When I have nailed down the fundamentals enough to earn my M card I'll likely purchase an S_I and see what I can do in open class. That's the plan thus far anyway..
  7. Shot one day this week, probably got in only 3 days of practice. Moving into a new apartment a couple hundred miles away on Friday, so I've been busy. Luckily the town is a whole lot more boring than the one I'm in so there will be PLENTY of time for dry fire. I also bought a reloading press so that should kill some time as well.
  8. If I was to list my 75 for sale, what do you think I should ask? It's a stainless with (2) factory 16 round mags and (2) factory SP01 18 round mags, CZ Custom 2 way adjustable trigger, CZ Custom Cocobolo grips, extra set rubber grips, full action job with all polished trigger components, FPB removed with spacer installed, spare extra power extractor springs, 15 lb mainspring installed, spare 13 lb mainspring, and all stock parts included (factory trigger, springs, FPB, etc.). It has had 100 rounds fired through it. Again, I REALLY don't want to sell it, but if I come into a bunch of cash an STI Trubor may be calling my name.
  9. I am sure I'll have to contact Angus to get an answer, but do you or anyone else have any idea of how much Angus would charge to fit a compensator and mount an optic? I suppose for a Cmore he'd have to drill and tap the frame for a mount. Ugh it's starting to sound easier to just sell it and buy an STI.
  10. The kit I got has the Pro powder measure already. I will try out the Lee scale before I buy another. Cabelas is local and I would rather buy from them. I appreaciate the input, though. So far I have: Lee Classic Turret Large & small primer feeders Pro auto-disc measure four measuring discs Lee safety scale Lee Deluxe carbide 4 die set ABC's of Reloading and Lyman's 48th 2 calipers, one digital, one dial Brass tumbler (~800 round capacity), media, separator I'll be picking up a few plastic bins and some storage containers for completed rounds. I'll use a barrel for a cartridge gauge. Anything else you guys would strongly recommend?
  11. I currently have a very nice CZ 75 Stainless chambered in 9mm that I don't really have a use for. Whenever I go to the range I see myself grabbing my Glock 34 and leaving the CZ behind, it is a total safe queen. I'm not really interested in selling it off, so I'd like to turn it into an open gun. It has a complete action job, and was converted to single action with a 2 way adjustable trigger. The FPB was removed as well. The trigger breaks at around 2.5 lbs. I'm covered for 20+ round magazines as well. I'd be using the Custom Shop Magwell. Can I get some insight into what optics are options? How about compensators? I know Angus has been talking about making one, but he's been talking about making on for 5 years. Are there any available options out there? How about barrel options? Thanks
  12. ^ I did get the Lee Classic turret. I plan on getting an electric scale to supplement the Lee scale. Already bought a tumbler. Bought a set of Lee carbides with the factory crimp. They're cheap and if I dont like the factory crimp I can buy another one. What are the advantages to the Pro powder measure? I'm still unsure on the powder disks, my loads will all be the same being 3.3-3.4 grains of titegroup, is there a setting on the disks for 3.3, or is that something I'll need to figure out with experimentation? Thanks.
  13. Thanks for the tips. At the recommendation of a few on here (some through PM's), and a few local guys I'm going with the Lee Turret press as planned. I'm on a budget and a beginner. With the turret I can learn each step of the process easier than I could with a progressive and I can still churn out 200 rds an hour. It's easier to set up and best of all, the kit costs under $200. It has awesome reviews and it seems like everyone who uses it loves it. If I feel like I need to load 500 rounds a day I'll swap over to the dillon. I was able to pick it up, a tumbler, media, and carbide dies for $300.
  14. I'd love to order from Brian, but I am not looking for input on who to order from. I'm looking for what specifically to order given my budget constraints (Lets say $600) and wants.
