  1. Quick google search turned this up. It's for a 220 SAO, but may help. https://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/710871/sig-sauer-p229-p227-p226-p224-p220-p239.html?page=56

    Yes. The milled slides can be used to replace the original stamped ones without issue.

    To the shooter’s left.
  4. Couple Wilson team members have been shooting them in some larger matches in ESP.
  5. Sorry, just saw this. It's a .285 like comes with their XD set.
  6. The difference in length between a round nose bullet design (like the berry's 124 TP RN) and the flat point bullet you're loading is significant. If you start looking at these lengths, you'll note that the FP load will have a MUCH shorter OAL if the same seating depth is maintained. My production load is 1.065 with the bullet you're using and the seating depth (amount of bullet in the case) is very similar to the Berry's 124 RN in an OAL of 1.150. FWIW.
  7. You can also use one of the “R” clips from a primer tube in a pinch. I actually have about 18K on one currently and it’s still going strong.
  8. I shoot a pair of X5 Allrounds in production and I have XL hands. But I admittedly press the trigger just inside the crease also. I use stock plastic with an aftermarket stipple job, but I realize that may not be an option for IPSC. The largest combination I've found for the 226 framed guns are either the rubber Hogues like mentioned above (I realize these aren't legal either) or the stock rosewood grips that come on the elite pistols here in the US. Their texture leaves a bit to be desired IMO, but size-wise they're similar to the Hogues and I've seen them on some variants of the 226 LDCs being sold in Europe, so I think they're likely an IPSC legal option for you. Especially given the LDC is allegedly a purpose built production gun for the sport. The Tanfoglio frames are a good bit longer in the grip (front to back) than the Sigs. They very well might be pretty good ergonomically for you and have a number of purpose built models. I can't speak to the legality of tinkering with their action parts, but the Xtreme variants come out of their custom shop stock with action work, if I'm not mistaken.
  9. The bullet feeder on the 650 alone will increase your productivity pretty significantly. I’d recommend making that upgrade and reevaluating. You’ll need it to automate the 650 anyway and It’ll swap onto a 1050 setup also if you wind up going that route. It’s an obvious next step.
  10. Those are all very fair points, fellas. Thanks for taking the time. I agree with them for the most part. The two games are quite different in some respects, no question. I agree in particular that USPSA is the more difficult of the two; longer courses of fire, more movement and athleticism, longer and potentially more difficult shooting requirements, etc... And that’s not even factoring in the stage planning. But I think even some of the stage planning in IDPA (read “paint by numbers”) still requires many of the elements of memorization, visualization and then execution that USPSA does (on an admittedly smaller scale) and that it’s actually a nice stepping stone for folks learning the action shooting thing. I haven’t personally ever found it a hindrance stepping back up to bigger more complex USPSA stages. In fact the opposite, which is why I asked. One could also argue that having a course of fire with less potential options would be a better test of the pure shooting, in contrast to ones stage breakdown/planning skills. At any rate, the folks capable of shooting As/zeros the fastest and the most efficiently are the ones winning both sports. I think the mechanics cross over pretty significantly. Just my take. Thanks for entertaining the question. t
  11. I'm curious as to the sentiment that shooting IDPA would/could hinter USPSA development. I'm interested in hearing more of the rationale. Having spent a goodly amount of time regularly shooting both sports, my sentiment is that it could be plenty valuable, in particular for a newer/younger shooter.
  12. Heres a quick iphone pic of the Dawson rear. Again, not the prettiest solution, but a relatively functional one.
  13. The 320 has the same size dovetails as the rest of the P-series pistols. And they both have the same size dovetails as the Springfield XDs. Dawson makes their adjustable rear for the XD line of pistols. I have a set on a P226. The design rides a bit higher than is ideal, in my opinion, and requires a taller front sight, but it's a serviceable solution and they've held up for me quite well. L.P.A. also makes a workable adjustable set that will work. I've not used those though. The Sig "team" 320s had an adjustable rear sight that was a much more elegant solution. Very similar to the sight that comes on the X5 Allround, IIRC. But they were done custom by Bruce and last time I asked, it wasn't a service they were going to be providing. Unfortunately. Anyway, here's a link to the Dawson rear that I'm using... https://dawsonprecision.com/springfield-xd-xdm-adjustable-black-rear-sights/
  14. Given the volume you're talking about, I'd absolutely recommend you go with the 650. It allows for the most upgrade options and is, by a long shot, the faster of the three machines you mention. If you don't buy one now, assuming you continue shooting the amount you are, you'll be wanting to upgrade in short order anyway. FWIW, I was in a pretty similar place 6 or 7 years ago; I was a new reloader, shooting a lot and wanted to buy a press that I could both learn on and wouldn't disappoint down the road. I bought a 650 and it was definitely the right choice. I added a case feeder almost immediately, added a bullet feeder a few years later and I'm still perfectly content with it. It's a great machine, and aside from some minor tinkering/tuning/learning you'll get with ANY press, it has been seamless. t
