Oh but I blame you... I was just looking at it before you provoked me!

Just to keep this all in one thread for the Shadow CTS LS-P I picked this up this past week: Picked this up from Oak Hills after Quack kept pushing! Unlike other basic ones it has the Fiber Front, Steal Guide Rod, Aluminum Grips, trigger listed as 3 Lb SA 7 3/4Lbs DA. It was not listed as a the SRT but it has no pre-travel after reset, and a very short reset.. so I have no idea if it doesn't have it how it could be better with it. I picked up the holster from Kingman/Red Hill Tactical and so far I really like it. I did not get a hanger yet.. not sure about that yet so sticking with the tek-lok for now. Oh and here is the test target:

The Red Hill Tactical mentioned in that thread is what I am thinking at this point. If it is secure in the comp-tac option it looks good as well.

I have one coming to the FFL on Monday. Need to get some mags and find a holster. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

I have wanted one of these for a long time, and a random visit to Oak Hill Guns website... cost me some money. So the Shadow is on the way so I guess I answered which division I am shooting next year. I almost picked up a "Shadow Line" awhile back but it was not 100% what I wanted so I have been waiting for the SP01 Shadows to pop back up. I need a bit more gear that I may have to delay getting a bit but I have time before next year. Anything I should make priority? Other than learning to drop the hammer....

I did't know if the V-Comp with the cap not the comp would still be allowed. Looking at the 627 V-Comp not the 625. I have missed just about every 627 5" gun by a few mins it seems.

Can a V-Comp be used minus the Comp? Just curious mostly looking at a Pro 4" for cost. What about a 9mm Conversion? Or is that just a bad idea? I have seen them and people claim they work... but since I see it hardly at all here on searches.

So is a 627 or a 625 going to be the way to go?

I have enough Cash to pick up either a basic 1911 or a Revolver.. assuming I need no custom work to start... and the required gear that is needed. The 1911 I have is a Full Rail Dust Cover so it is out, I also would not want to sell the other two, as I am attached. I am leaning that way just not sure how smart it is going to be just getting started.

Short Version: So if you were advising someone getting started in USPSA would you dissuade them from going Revolver? Assuming no matter which way they go they have to buy a new Gun. Long Version: I have shot one actual match and a few "outlaw" IDPA/USPSA style things, and I am planning to get a lot more involved next season since no one really shoots around here in the Winter. I have ended up in a situation in that I have no guns that are really ideal for any division. (A 1911 not SS Legal, a M&P not Production Legal, and a Smith 681... I just can't see the sights...) So I have been going back and forth for awhile on what I really want to shoot. So far I keep getting drawn to revolver just because I enjoy shooting them, but it seems their is almost no revolver participation at the local matches... not sure I want to be the new guy... and the revolver guy. Also with the rule change now I am not even sure what I should be looking at equipment wise. Production holds almost no interest for me, so pretty much looking at a .45 1911 for single stack or a revolver.. I could brake down and sell my new custom 1911 that is not legal... but trying to avoid that.

So would a czechmate be a good or bad idea for a beginner in open?

That would be exciting.

What is your goal, and what are you wanting to have done?

Long gone but it had no issues. I need to get another setup finished I have parts of a bunch of different options but nothing complete. I just learned about Oxford, I am going to have to check it out in the future very close.

If the ejector is not right to begin with you can slam a mag up into on a 9mm if you really try... or the ejector is not fit right to begin with. I have had one in the past where you could see the mags hit it if you pushed up. This is out of maybe 5 9mm 1911s only one you had to watch. So can it be a issue, Yes. Is it common to see this issue.. I doubt it. Is it common for this company you are talking about to have poor CS.. no idea.. you don't tell us who it was.
