Ahh, that is a very nice website. Thank you for sharing.
So I checked out one place for 12k of 9mm cleaned brassed for $371, so thats $0.03 per round. If I get 6 reloadings out of my 38 Super Comp brass, then the both balance out, don't they?
So for all of the 38 Super Comp shooters, how many times have you reused the brass? This might help everyone understand the cost debate.
I have some cases that you cant even read the headstamp on anymore. 20+ reloadings. -
It all comes down to one thing.
Do you mind picking up brass?
38 will always shoot nicer. ( will cost just as much if you one and done all your brass vs picking up 38)
There are plenty of good powders for both.
9 is harder on the guns and harder to get ejecting properly
I shot 9 for 2 years. Loading it is a pain in the ass vs 38 -

That’s the Carry Optics appendix. Look at section 21.5, end of middle paragraph.
this is the Production appendix which has the referenced D4-18
https://uspsa.org/viewer/Appendix_D4.pdf
Why would they go out of their way to say “remain in force and relevant”?
D4 18 is also incorrect now. Production is listed +4 oz
Carry Optics is a flat max weight of 45 oz. -
Romeo 1 sight is significantly lighter than DPP or Rts2

We should kill Major and make everything score minor.
That would be cool. As long as minor = 155 PF across the board

How often do these come back in stock?
Just saw a FB post from SSI that the grips are back in stock. -
But I have a drawer full of slide rides if you are in the market.

Maybe the least of the suck! Lol
Nah. I will take the issues with the minis before I ever go back to a shifting zero, dot washing, broken mount having crappy battery life, pain in the ass to zero slide ride.
-
Slide rides have a gaggle of issues of their own. Reality is all red dots for pistols suck in some form or fashion.

The biggest problem with 3n38 in 9 major is bullet push. The compressed load will cause your bullets to push out of the case and increase the length if they sit for any period of time after you load them.
You need to load them and shoot them within a few days. This used to happen in supercomp when people were loading 4756.
I tried about every powder know to man back when I shot 9 major. I use 3n38 in SC. HS6 or AA7 is what I would be using if I were to go back to 9 grenade.
Dirty isn't a problem so long as it doesn't cause reliability problems during the course of a major match. -

i see that, however a loaded ammobot 1050 is much better since it can actually kick out the bad pieces of brass and like 1/4th the price.
1/4 of the price?

6k rounds on a recoil spring is nothing.

that seems like a fair complaint. Do you feel like communication could have been helped by you admitting "oops, I dremeled the f** out of my comp, and now it cracked and is loose" rather than "my comp is loose". (assuming that's really what happened).....
I don't think these kind of internet pissing matches make anyone look good. I wouldn't resort to one unless there was dishonesty or real shadiness evident.I agree completely. Every builder I know has what I consider communications issues that wouldn't fly in the rest of the business world. That said, they are all small operations and we are all like kids wanting our new toys. We are excited and we can really overwhelm them with "is it ready yet" calls and messages. I am guilty of this myself.

So it takes 21 days to fit a new comp?
No pooh bear. It takes 21 days to fit it in the schedule for fitting the comp and test fire. I don't think Shay is sitting there waiting for the gun to come through the door. There is more than that going on in the shop.
And of those 21 days, 6 were weekends. So actually 15 business days. -
Was this the gun sent in with a "loose comp"? The one that ended up with some dremel work on the comp that caused it to crack? Which then needed to have a new comp fitted, machine time and then test fired for function? Just want to make sure we are talking about the same gun.

I was told they will have several more in stock by sometime next week. -

For a P320 grip module with the following features;
- Machined out of stainless steel
- X-Series ergonomics
- Either integral flared magwell or ability to accept the X-Five magwell
- Enhanced grip texturing similar to Phoenix Trinity's EVO 2011 grip
...I would happily pay $650-$800, about the same as a steel 2011 grip costs these days. Hell, I'd buy two
I think the problem with your idea is...
A SS grip module would put you way over weight for CO
It would likely have to be a different model gun as far as USPSA would be concerned and require 2000 to be sold to use in production or CO.
It would cost way more to machine an entire grip module that just a 2011 grip. Likely in the $2000 range for a retail price
Not very many people ( except us) would even want one. -

I’m getting the itch to build one of these myself with tungsten powder and some epoxy
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYou won't get there with tungsten powder. You might get an ounce or two.

And evidently $850 of weight added to it or you will just be spinning your wheels and couldn’t possibly be competitive.
Well, the guy winning everything in CO is shooting an X5 with that grip. He certainly thinks it helps.
-
It is factory + 4 oz for Production. CO is max weight of 45 oz.

Damn...I'm getting rather impatient waiting on some company to come up with a grip module made out of metal. Preferably in the same mold as the X-Five or X-Carry grip
are you willing to pay a couple thousand dollars for it? -

Just ordered the tungsten guide rod from springer. And the tungsten grip module grip from Shooters Innovations. I’m hoping for big improvements and big hopes that it shoots softer and shoots flat.
You will be amazed. It makes a huge difference.

"some" would be wrong. Grip it like it owes you money.

Negative. The biggest dot available in the RTS2 is 8moa. I have no clue what an RMR2 is.
