  1. I want to get a CZ for IDPA .It looks like the weight rule cancels out the shadow 2’s. 1) Is there any current catalogued gun that would be legal, ? 2) Is there any gun that I could make single action only (SAO) and still use for any division. If your a CZ shooter let me know.
  2. I loaded some Hi-Tek coated 147gr bullets for my G34 and chrono'd them. The accuracy was only so-so but they still had that led smokiness (not as bad) (plus the odor is strong) and it had me wondering if they are still leading up the barrel. From what i have been able to search online they appear to be OK, but does any body have any experience to share?
  3. So they were two different sizes then, had you used the regular RN or FP in the past?
  4. I have used berrys hollow point and round nose 124gr bullets W/ good results. Whats been your experience with the flat point hollow base bullets 124gr ? Can i keep the same die settings and just keep loading or do i need to change things. (i dont want to change settings) Do they seem more accurate? what other benefits am i missing or not? thanks
  5. I wanted to ask what you guys like for OAL for Berry 147's in a G34/M&P9 using VV320 Right now my 124 Round nose Berry OAL is about 1.140 What i really want to do is use the die setting for the 124 gr. load and just use the 147's and only adjust the powder setting. Anybody tried this? edit: to also include the VV reloading book says 1.142 so i should be good but wanted to know what other users report.
  6. I have been reading that Glock is shipping gen 4 guns with the factory beavertail extension included with the other interchangeable grips. So does anybody know if a grip force adapter is legal for SSP?
  7. im a beginner, hopefully some day i will get there
  8. well i guess i thought it was steel, because the one end has the metal that hooks up beneath the chamber end of the barrel and didn't look closely at the "rod" part, so i guess to stay legal in ssp i should get the polymer one. which has the advantage? polymer or steel? i might just go up to esp if steel runs better.
  9. since the stock RSA in the gen 4 35 is steel. can i replace it with the steel jager rod or do i have to stay with the polymer rod? the website says the polymer is legal for idpa but the gen 4 35 has a steel rod ( at least thats what i thought it has ) ? what do you think?
  10. it looks like a lower pound recoil spring is on the shopping list, thanks you guys
  11. Are you guys generally happy with how the gun shoots with the lower lb springs? What weight is a stock Gen 4 spring?
  12. yes i am trying to make a soft shooting load for the .40 so i can sort of fine tune the whole shooting system.
  13. i was thinking maybe the recoil spring was to strong since it is the Gen 4, and considered getting a lower weight spring also, i am just not sure which direction to go. i like the gun and the Gen 4 grip and bigger mag release so i am committed to making it work.
  14. i just edited the above to answer your question, I am an IDPA shooter and don't know the PF formula at this moment, sorry
  15. I am using an RCBS 5-0-5 scale, (will be getting a digital in the future) Berry's 180 gr hollow point, set at 1.133~ This depth worked fine with Tite Group but i don't know what the FPS was with Tight Group because i didn't have a Chrono when i first started into reloading. I am using a Dillon 650 with Dillon dies. I thought maybe i should either seat them a little lower to build up a little pressure or just use more powder but I'm not sure which direction to go. to answer you question about the slide functioning - some times the slide will not eject the fired case or not feed the next bullet into the chamber or the spent brass barely clears the ejection port , sort of slow motion like, (the slide feels a little sluggish if that makes sense)
  16. What fps do most of you use to get the slide to function smoothly without any lag and with positive extraction? i have a completely stock G35 that i m loading 180 gr Berry's and VV320 (everybody's favorite here it seems) to about 3.8 Grs This combo is not doing any thing for reliable slide functioning, the chrono is averaging about 760-795 fps. My VV reloading manual mentions 4.1 as max, so i will bump it up. Just lookin for your 2 cents. thanks.
  17. i picked up a lot of these today and will be using them this summer. my only other experience is with CCI. I'm hoping you guys have good things to say!
  18. over on gun blast they have a picture of a new dillon machine the DL-550 but no description of it. does any body know anything or heard about it?
  19. i have the option to buy CCI MAGTECH FEDERAL OR WINCHESTER small pistol primers for my M&P pro9mm and G35 .40. i load 9mm and 40 on a 650 my question is what would be best for these guns with stock to light triggers? also i once had a primer in upside down and fully seated since then i like the silver colored primers for contrast to look over when there done, Are the magtechs silver ? i have only used CCI
  20. this happened to me also a brand new m&p 9mm 5" pro series. the first time i shot it both mags malfunctioned due to the followers getting hung up on the cut out in the magazine for the release. it happened with three brands of ammo. so i know it wasn't reloads i emailed S&W but have not heard any thing yet. i am very disapointed, is this a common problem?
  21. Does any body know if its legal for IDPA, I know it cant be dropped or offset. tried to call them but they close at 330 PST and it doesn't say on website
  22. thanks guys i thought it was to tight, that makes sense now - the picture really helps
  23. i am having this same problem, its very frustrating, if anybody could put a picture up i would appreciate it. with the mod done - i'm thinking the shellplate may be to low because the ejector spring keeps backing out, it seems like the natural position is up a little higher, fwiw it was doing this before the mod was done. it does seem like its every 15-20 rounds or is when it starts working its way out HELP
  24. thanks for the reply's i still need to build the bench and wanted to get some ideas for the front edge design an inch back from the front edge seems to be the way to go
