Higher power (not major) powders for 9mm
dtsdave replied to datderecelltech's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
There is great info here too. http://www.natoreloading.com/9mm/ -
The Labrador is huge compared to the Garmin. It is also, according to things I have read, finicky about aim and trigger event. The Garmin is so small and was very easy to use. There seem to be a lot of Labradar units for sale right now. eBay has like 10 on there now.

I have one. Tested so far at an indoor range. Worked like a charm. Did 7 10 shot stings of different loads. Never had a Chrono before and it seemed to support my thoughts on my ammo. They are very hard to find in stock right now but seem to be available for backorder.

I was having the same problem and then I was also having shells fall out between 3 & 4. I bought a new shell plate and it is running like a top now. No more finicky indexing or feeding in station 1. There were easily 10,000 rounds on mine and I bought it used. So it was time.

Agreed on the tightness. I load on a square deal b and they were not fun. I hand primed most of them to make it easier for me.

Is there a PCC or a PCC lower that will take S&W magazines
dtsdave replied to SnipTheDog's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
S&W just released their own pcc. The M&P FPC. Looks a little like a sub 2000. -
3.9 Grains N320 1.125 ish depending on your barrels. Substitute lots of other powders.

Super vel also sells remanufactured ammo for very good prices in bulk.

Brought this one back from the dead.

Those look identical to the ones that came with my marvel unit 1. The funny part is that I only use the gsg ones in my conversion. The gsg mags are a little skinny but marvel has a shim they make. All their stuff is now sold through frerking gun works. I do not use the shims but I was having problems with the mags falling out of my frame. I put a new mag release in and they stay in place now. I have 6 of the gsg mags and they all work great.

Timney alpha trigger. I have one in a gen 5 and it is sweet.

Ruger PC Carbine aftermarket barrel (Taccom3g)
dtsdave replied to jburks's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
I did not experience any accuracy issues with mine. -
I really wanted one. I was stocking up on magazines and was planning on selling my P-07 once I bought one. Then I wanted to start shooting carry optics. Bought a P-10 F. Then I bought a PCC. Now I sold my CZ's and bought a G34 MOS so magazines all are Glock. Since you cannot compete with a DWX in any USPSA Division besides A fudgecicle nobody but a few crayon chewers and winder likkers want or open minor I am not sure if I would buy one anymore. I do have a Dan Wesson Pointman 9 and it is my favorite gun. I did shoot SS with it for a few years. With 50+ year old eyes and limited competition opportunities due to work I like red dots.
-
I also run a unit 1 and I really like it. I use the GSG magazines and I only load 9 rounds per mag. However I am very new to steel challenge and have only shot it with an optic in 1 match. I have shot thousands of rounds at the range. I am B in PCC and RFRO and made C in RFPO in the 1 match I shot. Hope to make B this weekend if I can.
-
I thought the A01 specifically took the P09 mags. I have the springer precision base pads on my P 10/P09 mags and they are nice. I did not replace the follower so I can only get 21-22 rounds in them.
-
What is interesting is the circle on the Holosun 507. For steel challenge it sort of centers your round plates even though the dot is relatively small. I have C More's on my rifles and rimfire pistols for steel challenge but I bought a P-10 F and it had a 507 on it. I sort of like it.

Looking for a 22 LR handgun to train with
dtsdave replied to Nick_shoots_fast's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisons
I have a marvel precision unit 1 on a single stack frame. Not sure of that was what you were referring to. It is a little blockier than my actual single stack gun and does not fit my ss holster. The marvel mimics a model 41 so the optic does not move with the slide. That may or may not be what you want either. Accuracy is incredible I like it a lot but I use mine on steel challenge, not as a uspsa trainer. -
I made some mouse fart revolver loads by dropping 95 grain projectiles over my 124 grain powder charges. Wasn't perfect but it was easy on the hand.
-
To the OP, Are you leaving your mags loaded to capacity in between matches? I can imagine that without bullets in the mag there would be a lot less pressure on the feed lips during storage.

Looking at 1911-22LR guns and want owners input
dtsdave replied to Nick_shoots_fast's topic in 1911-style Pistols
My marvel has been great. I have it setup for sv ammo and it has run on quite a few different brands. However I really only run it on cci sv since I have a ton of it and if I need more it is available. You just have to keep it clean and make sure the recoil rod/screw is tight. In use the gsg metal magazines and they wobble a little in the frame but seem to be fine. Initially when I put the unit 1 on my ria frame the mags were giving me problems. I swopped the mag release for a new one and I think it sat a little higher and was not rounded and the mags are now staying in place correctly and not falling out. Marvel/fcw guns has shims for the gsg mags to make them a bit tighter. Mine work fine so I have not tried them. -
Ruger PC Carbine aftermarket barrel (Taccom3g)
dtsdave replied to jburks's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
Had a 6 stage match with the new barrel. I shot 3 matches with the stock barrel and this was my 4th. I am a low B in RFRO and was .13 seconds from a low B with the PCC. I was able to shave 3.71 seconds off 5 to go, Showdown and Accelerator. The rifle definitely felt better and handled more like my 10/22 with the weight reduction. I did have a little trouble on roundabout. I had 2 stovepipes. It is possible that with the shorter barrel I am not getting the slide to cycle completely. I will bump up my charge just a hair and see what happens. When I test fired the rifle earlier in the week I did also have 1 stovepipe. I also shot a 3 stage uspsa match earlier in the week. No stovepipes and the only issue I had was all me. Failed to engage a target on one stage and failed to take off the safety on another. Moron. Stage 1 was perfect. -
Ruger PC Carbine aftermarket barrel (Taccom3g)
dtsdave replied to jburks's topic in Pistol Caliber Carbine
I sighted in the rifle with the new barrel yesterday. Recoil was definitely different. The rifle also moves a bit more but it did not seem hard to bring it back quickly. I am shooting a steel challenge match this weekend. The match is 6 stages and I need .13 seconds to make B classification. It will be interesting to see what my times look like.
