What It's Worth ! Parts and good deals in STI Stuff just don't go together, Cheap STI parts are like hunting Dentures for Ducks. Have fun and a great 4th. Perry

For What It's Worth ! I have seen really good used PARAS, some with a lil trick work sell for $500 to $1000. Maybe take a look at one. Best I can remember 2011s came along after some PARAS hit TEXAS. Now GLOCKS - One of my friends Ps and moans that Glocks don't fit his LIL hands, But some of his higher scores have been with my GLOCKS and my re-loads. Now ain't that GRAND. Perry

CALL DAWSON ! See what he has in base pads. Per above +2 would help. I shot Limited with a STI Eagle, holds 20 with Dawson Pads and springs. I only load 19 because the mags don't wanna lock in proper with more. I think that Gunsmith that builds CZ sells pads, springs and followers. Have FUN, Perry

Hillbilly Saying ! "Be careful of the person with one PISTOL, he probally knows how to use it." Why do you wanna buy what a bunch of hog headed shooters on a forum like ???? Buy what you want and like. Be SAFE, Perry

Opinion ! Five gallon buckets of ammo (practice) will improve your score sheet more than a new pistol. LOL If your heart is set on a SV or STI and you have a thick wallet, have at it. We only come this way once, whatever makes you happy. Perry

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH ! The better the Brass to specs or close, the better the 650 and 1050 will produce quality ammo in numbers. I buy some brass from a supplier in Ky., Cleaned, Roll Sized, De-primed done on a custom roll sizer w feeder. Some of the folks in here can give you more info than I. If you gonna sell to the public, better do things right with a quality control program in place, with paper work for CYA. Above all, an Insurance Policy, Umbrella coverage, and a Corporation set up via a lawyer. Check out you State laws too! Liability is high, risk is great, law suites are plentiful. Most lawyers are like Great White Sharks. CYA - cover you back parts. Perry

For What It's Worth ! No one seem to be talking wallet pain for OPEN. Pistol cost, who built the pistol, will it run?? Cost if it don't run ?? Mags, kinda guts and base pads are they tuned to the pistol?? Belt, holsters, mag pouches and etc ?? Open and Limited can cause pains in the butt where you carry the wallet. LOL Happy New Year, Perry

Metro Per your comments, Cost of loading .40 minor. After you have purchased your press ( Recommend a Dillon 550 or 650 ) just my opinion you will load better quality - less trouble with a 650. That said - then all you need to change calibers is a conversion kit and a set of regular dies (Lee RCBS Redding ). If your careful cost will be about $100. I run a mixed brand die set in a 650. After you get set - up visit the brian enos re-loading section, A lot of old re-loaders there to help you. Some are the same age as RED CLAY dirt. Be SAFE, Happy Holidays, Perry ADD ON - Opinion 9MM will not knock down steel poppers and other steel as well as .40 S&W. Cost and performance is gonna be a trade off always, for your likes and range set-ups which will vary per location and which shooting sport.

Hey George ! Your full of it, and not talking Ice Cream. LMAO Perry

I have been reading like post for years, I also Quizzzzz if you thought to ask the boy what he really would like to shot ??? Most of todays teens are savvvy, and good researchers, and may know more than one may think. Point 2 - Keeping him intrested, Maybeeee, when he/your teen gets interested in the GURLS/girls, we will see. I have spent a lot of miney on my grandsons, they seem to be more fond of GURLS and damnnn old junk cars than POPs shooting BS. Keep us posted. Have FUN, Perry - LOL

My OPINION ! Glocks just run & run, low maintance/up-keep, easy to work on. 1911 has a lot going for them too ! Been around over 100 years to prove point. Probally what you really want and how thick your wallet may be. LOL Have FUN, Be SAFE. Perry

OPINION ! You have a Glock G-34 that will fit nice in about anything but Revo. Shoot a few of of your choice to decide what you like. Go to USPSA.com and print the Rule Book about 35 pages and /or if a new member you should have recieved a rule book. Have FUN, Be SAFE, Perry

Opinion: Less recoil, back on target quicker, cheaper to shot, easy to reload. If set-up right just as reliable as .40 or .45. I also like STI Eagles. Perry

Take a look a Lee Factory Crimp Die # 90817, Don't go crazy crimping, but may just help. Be SAFE Perry

Caution ! About Barrel length info, some em 3 gun ppl will be showing up with shotguns with a barrel like a broom handle. LOL Perry

BE CAREFUL !! When your ready to buy a shotgun be careful and do your research. Some of the damnnnn things work and some don't even same brand and models. Two "biggies" with shotguns is capacities and re-loading, gotta have both. Also careful who you listen to! some will do - say anything to get sponsors and free stuff, do/tell anything to help their cause. Back side romancers will not help your cause. Hillbilly Opinions, Perry

Johnhuber, I am in East Tennessee, know lil about Nashville, . Visit 3 Gun Nation.com Local guy over this area lives over in North Carolina, nice guy will call you back. I have his name and no. somewhere, If you don't get info needed, post back and I will find it for you. Perry .

I have several glasses, the ones I like best are a Lite Orange light gathering lens, made in Italy bought em at the Gun Shop. You can change the lense, Have yellow, blue, clear. Shooting eye wear has come a long way in a few years. JMO Perry

Mr Hadley O, I got the feeling that FN didn't want to talk to customers. Answer NO ! I tried to be nice, thanked them for their time and hung - up the phone. Perry Shockley PS - Here's kinda the way I see this, legal action is out, Great White Shark Lawyers want $500 retainer fee then time and expenses on top of that. Will eat up several $1000 Shotguns quickly. FN knows this, therefore is gonna sit there quiet as a church house mouse and discorage Phone Calls. If you have a thick wallet and go legal, Your gonna run smack into all Hard Core REPUB Judges. LOL Not enough Liberal Demos in Tennessee to fill a Blue Bird School Bus. Now we're back to that dead horse. Hillbilly Opinion !

MR. GERRITM, If your one em gurus who puts band aids on poor designs, no offence meant or intended. When I bought mine it was supposed to be the best comp 3 gun on the pike. Nor did I see FN waving a flag, and telling folks their mk-1 was a Police Combat High Brass Shotgun. I have $1300 in a piece that I don't wanna shot or band aid further. But I AGREE with most of your post, thanks. Perry

Mr.Comp1984, I also own a SLP Mk1 FN, Does and act the same as yours, I called FN twice got kinda smart azzz type answers to my questions, not exactly user friendly. One of the ppl told me his did the same thing, just shot high power premo ammo. Didn't like that answer so I ordered from Brownells 1 part # 800-741-0015-- B111604913 Browning Sporting Clays Piston, helped some but not a fix. Some Browning parts fit FNs. Next I installed a Re-coil Reducer from Gamaliel.com in the stock, Gamaliel is the top shotgun ppl in the country, get yourself a catalog, good people. I have Lung Cancer left lower, can't stand to much recoil kicking, still shot 3 Gun. (3GUN NATION 27834) USPSA & Steel Challenge. Then got mad/ really pissed. Ordered All the Stuff/Sheit to build a Moss 930, built it at home, shots anything in any order, never a failure. Shots hi-low 00, slugs in any order you wanna put em in. Nordic & Briley parts. The FN is in the safe until I decide to sell it. Be SAFE, Have FUN, Perry Good Luck, but you maybe looking up a dead horse, hillbilly opinion.

Timawa, Have you come-up with your problem??? When you load the first round from a BARNEY MAG, remove, install a mag full loaded, you still need to have enough room so the top ammo don't jam into the bottom of the slide and cause problems. Cure may be to replace follower-springs- base-pads to gain a lil more clearance. I just change all my mags and have less problems. Steve and others maybe can explain this better. Perry

Shelby213, .40 S&W is much easier to load than rifle ammo. If your gonna use a lot of .40s take a look at a Dillon 650 w a case feeder it is one .40 loading mutta set-up properly. I Clean in a Dillon 2000 Vib Unit, re-size, de-prime on a single stage Rock Chucker before placeing the cases in the case feeder. Have a lite and a 3X mirror mounted on the 650, look at/in every case before placing bullet, fussey but don't have ahhh sheits. I load .223s on 2 single stage presses, 1 RCBS5 & 1 Lee, try to do everything safe and very careful. Like all my fingers and eyes and wanna keep them just where they are. The Crimp Die I like is a LEE 90782 - .40 S&W straight Crimp Die. Price $12.98 plus ship. If you don't have time and patients you'll be on the ragged edge. My Opinions Perry

Hillbilly OPINION !! If you didn't have your shinney butt there to help set-up for local then don't say a word, shot and go on your merry way. A lot of folks our area don't shoot one of the gun sports now, rules lawyers sitting around like vultures wanting to shap a PE on someone or PO them. Most of the time probally better to shot , zip the lip, help tear down, go home. JMO Perry

Dubois, Be brave and take a lil extra ammo, shoot the damnnnnn things you will not be the first or last that they make a monkey outa. Most stars hang like a stick man, head up, arms out, legs down, shot the head first then the arms fast if you can, keeps it from spinning then the feet. Hold so up swing can be shot just as it breaks your sight plain. If you don't cusss and say bad words the star will teach you. LOL Have FUN, that's what it's about, Perry
