KAP Guns

I used to have a sidways mounted Cmore. I got tired of having to take everything apart to clean my gun & dealing with batteries. I went to a dual illumination Trijicon RMR. I love it. I do not have batteries to deal with and the brightness is auto adjusting depending on light conditions. Last week we had a stage at a local match where you started in the light & ended up in almost pitch black darkness. All the open guys had to turn their dot way down for the end targets but couldn't find it in the light. Mine was bright in the light & dim in the dark. That being said it did take a few weeks to get used to the smaller window. and the lower mount changed my NPOA a bit. It took some getting used to but I am fine with it now!! My only wish is that Trijicon would make it with a slightly bigger window. Dot tracking is no problem with the slide ride mount I have.

I love my Trijicon RMR. There are no batteries to deal with. It is a fiber optic and tritium dual illumination. I hated dealing with batteries. It took a few days to get used to the smaller glass but after a bit I absolutely love it.

The only time having a 40 is not cool is on a 25-27 round stage because I have to plan a mag change or make sure I hit everything with 1 shot. If I had a 9 I would have plenty. My gun shoots just as flat or flatter and less snap than my 9. Here is a pic of the whole family. Open Gun, Backup Open Gun & the Limited Gun

This is how it started

When did you start shooting open? 2012 Was 40 your first caliber in open? No I had a 9mm major and absolutely hated loading ammo for it. PITA to load & only a few powders that work and they were all dirty powders. Why did you choose 40? I love 40 and my Limited gun was 40 What make is your gun? Limcat Flashcat Who built it? Jonny Lim What barrel length, comp and optic are you using? It started as a 6" bbl threaded down to accept the custom Limcat comp, I have a Trijicon RMR mounted on the slide (I started with a Cmore with a sideways mount Do you run a big stick, and what capacity are you getting? Big stick 25 reloadable and 26 packed What have you settled on for a load? 140gr Bayou Bullets with 5.2gr Red Dot Powder seated to 1170 OAL What's your open classification? B (Sometimes I shoot like an M but others like a C) Where do you live? Loves Park IL

I want to just hit the major PF and I have a lot of Red Dot. I like Red Dot a lot because I can use it in several calibers & it burns clean. Has anyone worked up loads with Red dot? I have used it with heavier bullets and had no problems but never chrono'ed them either. I need to be just above 1000fps. any help would be appreciated.
