I'm using 231 right now with 147gr jhp's just because I had a bunch of left over from the .45 days (yes, it's old powder). It's given me some fairly impressive results...

The Shooters Paradise Posse will be there on Saturday. Can't wait....

K, That's why I carry mine around with me. J, Thanks for noticing.

I was just pointing out that the thread was supposed to be about "Women We Love" and then I thought it would be funny to say that we should leave our wives off the list and.............................................................oh forget it. I was just trying to be funny, Patrick. Carry on, men.

That's just it, I don't remember anyone making any requirements or restrictions. The thread was supposed to be about "Women We Love". It's all about free love, man... Uhm, no wives please.

Ouch! You could have fired one over the bow before coming at me like that... O.K., O.K.... how about this female mountain biker.... Check out Tara Llanes here: http://www.tarallanesracing.com/images/med...anha_ad_jpg.htm

Well now Nemo, that is one incredibly impressive list. Since I'm a Mountain-biker-dude, I would have to add Marla Streb to the list to round it out. There's just something about a woman with, well..., impressive physical skills. See her here... http://www.marlastreb.com/gallery.html

Jake, that's too funny. Bob, you got the right Thomas. Duane, you cleared it up. I think I know where you were coming from now. Regards, Todd

Who's on the cover of this one? It'll probably be a while before I get mine...

Splash, I think it's more of a "innocent until proven otherwise" situation. The extended slide and mag release are Glock O.E.M. parts and are not specifically prohibited, so they're legal, as are the factory base pads for the Beretta and (now the new) CZ. Regards, Todd

Welcome aboard Boo, For what it's worth, I voted "no" in the poll, just because it was the first answer that popped into my head. That doesn't mean it actually can't be done, it was just my opinion at the time the thread opened. Everybody's entitled to their opinion guys, including Boo. I don't think he's calling anyone a liar or trying to disrespect anyone. Even Thomas needed to stick his hand into the wounds.... Hockey, what's that? Oh, you mean the activity formerly known as the professional sport of hockey. No offense Boo, I couldn't resist. Nice avatar, by the way. Duane, How is shooting an El Prez with minor ammo (and production gear) less impressive? The scoring penalty makes it tougher in my book. Unless of course, you're counting any hits. I can't wait to go back to major scoring one day. Regards, Todd

Flex brings up a very good point. Shooting is mostly a visual/mental skill, not just raw mechanics. That's not to say that dry firing to improve your gun handling mechanics is not very important, because it is. So, take your pick: gun, target, or gun and target. I "dry fire" all the time without a gun. I'm training my vision because I can only shoot A's as fast as I can see them.

Like Matt and Phil said, they have to be factory pads and they cannot increase mag capacity. That's why the Glock factory +2 pads are not legal.

Shocking news, and very sad. Steve will be remembered as a great shooter and a wonderful guy. My prayers are with his family and close friends. Thank you for sharing this hard news.

Whoa! I didn't know that....could be a problem for me then...

Just be sure the bullet is not contacting the rifling. Let us know what you come up with for a max COL, thanks. Carlos, what say you?

Thanks Matt, yah, the gun's fine. I feel that it's got a lot to offer for the Production shooter, but now more than ever I believe that it's shooter. We've all heard it and said a hundred times before but I believe it and I feel it now! Hope to see you on the range soon bro... Yep...10 yds, back to targets & wrists above shoulders too.

I did a 4.36 w/ 8-alphas & 4-charlies yesterday with my CZ-85. That's only 1.37 seconds away from winning this contest. And yes Skipper, I was consistantly in the mid to high 4's with my hits (not always pretty ones though), how 'bout that. I guess there is something to be said for reaching for the stars, cause that was by far my best run ever and it was too cold out for my taste to boot. Good luck guys.

What about movie phone? Wait, I don't know if he actually made any money at that. "...well why don't you just tell me the movie you want to see..."

You got to love kids!

That's awesome Sam, you know they have a .22LR conversion for the 75/85 as well right? It's called the Kadet. I can't say much about it as I haven't tested it yet, but it looks pretty sweet and I'd love to get my hans on one. I just have to wait a bit. It's on my "things to beg for:" list.

Thanks a lot guys! I am totally stoked and ready to enjoy this new season. And mcoliver, I'm still a newbie at CZ but the best I can tell, the 85 Combat (vs. the 85B) has an overtravel stop for the trigger and NO firing pin block safety. And BTW, a huge "Thank You" to Angus Hobdell for all his help and support, what a great guy! Todd

Chris, I agree with Benny, sounds like weak mag springs. Regards, Todd

I've been reluctant to say anything to anybody, but here goes. I'm happy to announce that I'll be representing CZ-USA this year shooting an SP-01 in Production Division. I just got my first gun from them last week, a CZ 85 C, which is to be my back up gun once I get my SP-01. I'm about as resistant to change as the next guy, so it hasn't been easy for me so far. I know Flex will be upset with me, leaving the tupperware behind and all, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to be an "Industry Shooter". There's a lot to like about the CZ too! When I first got started (1994) in the sport, it seemed like there were more of them, industry shooters that is, you know back when American Handgunner used to cover the matches. It's really benn great, getting to know and shoot with the guys I used to read about in the magazines. I have to thank Phil and Shooters Paradise for helping me out the past couple of years. I don't think I could have made it this far with out him. I'll still be representing Shooters Paradise as well (as long as Phil keeps me, that is). Thanks for sharing this experience with me and for being here on this forum. Hope to see you all this shooting season. Look for me at the FL Open packing a new piece of hardware.... Regards, Todd

That's great Sam. My oldest girl (14) shows no interest in shooting but my little girl does. I hope to get her started soon too. Happy and safe shooting to you!
