  1. Good to know, thanks Hopefully someone out there has chorno'd Everglades and Atlanta
  2. I was just wondering if anyone that is running the MPA Open gun have chrono'd any of the factory 9mm major ammo I will hopefully be receiving mine soon and since I am not a reloader I am trying to decide which factory options make major with it. The ones I know of are: Everglades Atlanta Arms & Ammo Blackdot Outdoor Dynamics Universal Ammo (if I am reading their website correctly) If there are others that make major with the MPA offering I would love to hear about it Yes I know people are just going to say I should make my own, but for several reasons that is just not in the cards at the moment
  3. I’ve heard good things - I bypassed them since I can’t use the 140mm MBXs I already have. Bul is their own pattern and while MBX makes some in that pattern, it meant everything I had was null and void
  4. Looking that way from what I am able to find searching around, but I'm hoping the brain trust here has some other options I can look at
  5. There is also a significant price difference that I have to take into account - MPA at 4500 is pretty much the top of my budget
  6. Yeah I saw that, but sadly when you go to the listing is says out of stock and you can't order. Hopefully they will have some soon and I will keep an eye on it
  7. They are, and I am looking at one. I'm just trying to see if there is anyone has something that is in stock and ready to ship like the CK ones used to be at Shooters Connection. I think MPA is saying 12 weeks on their website. While I am waiting for something to happen so I can place an order I figured I would dig around a bit since I haven't been paying attention to the Open world
  8. So is anyone doing "off the shelf" Open guns anymore. When CK was around they where, but looks like no one is doing it since MPA acquired them. The Tanfo/CZ open guns seem interesting, I would have to replace too much gear that I can't afford to do. At least with 2011s I can run my MBX mags - sadly they are not compatible with BUL (no idea how available they are, just know they are out there) Trying to see what options are out there without having to wait months to receive besides used
  9. So I take it that to you by the time you get a VR80 running like a scalded rat you are into Dissident money It will be a full-on open gun - one of the MPA Open guns that they are doing. Seem to be the best option for the money/time waiting to received and my budget
  10. So it looks like I will be moving into Open soon, at least pistol wise so odds are I will be just filling my tube of my A5 and going for the time being That said to have a VR80 running properly to be competitive what would I be looking at past the $600 sticker price? I'm really attracted to the Gen12, but I am not sure if I can swing that in one go or not. Trying to figure out my options/cost so I can find a path forward
  11. Hung up how? And what insert? The one I have I think is for a plastic STI grip, but since it looks like I will be ordering an MPA open gun soon I am trying to figure out when insert I need
  12. What about an MPA grip? I think it is a Cheely E2, but I am not sure
  13. Does the issue with JHP only apply to 9mm major? And is 38 super and 38 super comp interchangeable?
  14. So if I understand correctly the hollow part of the hollow point gets caught on the feed ramp when loading out to 9mm major lengths
  15. Yeah I am yet to find someone that does fmj in 9mm major, but the Black Dot is loaded to 1.16 and the Everglades is 1.145 which is fmj territory if I understand things correctly. I'm hoping that it addresses the nose dives associated with the Gold Teams. I think MBX made some design changes to as well, but I can't find answers to either sadly. I think Black Dot is using Montana Gold JHP which look rather RN Everglades I think uses their own "Round Nose" JHP Pretty sure I would need to have the chamber reamed, but again I can't find answers
  16. Has anyone tried the Everglades or Black Dot 9mm Major Ammo in a Domina (the basic "blue" one, not the Xtreme) running MBX 170mm mags https://www.evergladesammo.com/9mm-major.html https://blackdotammunition-com.3dcartstores.com/9mm-MAJOR-124gr-br-100-ROUND-BAG-br-Competition-Specific-Ammunition-brREAD-DESCRIPTION-CAREFULLY-br-Not-for-use-in-standard-9mm-firearms-_p_18.html Seems like round nose is the preferred, but I am on a limited budget and very limited time so the option to roll my own is not available to me and these seem to be the only 9mm major I can find in stock. That said the Atlanta 147gr is also JHP.... I heard that the Tanfoglio's are not fond of JHP, but no one in the Tanfoglio sub forum is answering so I thought I would also ask here. It is something that I just need to have the barrel reamed, or is it something else. Trying to cost out my Open options and Tanfoglio's have always appealed to me. Yes I know the Czechmate is basically the same, but sourcing 170's looks to be an issue from what little I can find on them.
  17. While I am still mulling over conversion in my other thread for financial reasons - I have been seeing folks mention some 9mm major ammo issue which brings me to this question Has anyone tried the Everglades or Black Dot 9mm Major Ammo in a Domina/Stock 2 converted to open running MBX 170mm mags https://www.evergladesammo.com/9mm-major.html https://blackdotammunition-com.3dcartstores.com/9mm-MAJOR-124gr-br-100-ROUND-BAG-br-Competition-Specific-Ammunition-brREAD-DESCRIPTION-CAREFULLY-br-Not-for-use-in-standard-9mm-firearms-_p_18.html Seems like round nose is the preferred, but I am on a limited budget and very limited time so the option to roll my own is not available to me. If it matters, if I can find a way to swing a Domina it would be the "base" one that is blue not the Xtreme version. Most likely ordering from Patriot Defense.
  18. So the Stock 2 Optic is just milled for a plate and then I have to get a plate that matches whatever red dot I choose to go with? I thought it was ready for certain options and only needed a plate if I choose something that didn't match what it was already setup for
  19. I'm looking at getting into open, but it will be with something that is pulling double duty in USPSA and mutilgun. To make my life somewhat easier (and to actually get use from the comp) I plan to shoot major across the board. I have narrowed it down to the Stock 2 Optic or a Sig XFive because I want to have my optic on the slide to give me better retention options for multigun matches. All that is what has lead me here since I have some questions What all do I need to convert a Stock 2 Optic to Open (and be SA)? Anyone try the MBX Tanfo mags? and are they any good? Where can I find info on what Red Dots are compatible with the Stock 2 Optic? My terrible Google-Fo says to convert to open I would need barrel/comp, magwell, SA trigger (and remove interrupter)
  20. Seems PCC and I are getting along well - Second match win with PCC
  21. Little 3 gun action from this past Saturday
  22. Vortex Venom on mine - dot is smaller than I need (2 MOA) but its inexpensive and works well
  23. I am running Universal Ammo's 124gr 9mm "minor" ammo through my CK with an 8lb spring and it runs beautifully. IMO if your debating between a CK and a DVC a CK is just a better option all the way around.
  24. From last Saturday, first time shooting PCC and my first overall match win!!!
