Tens of thousands of 9mm reloads, all jacketed bullets, through our Glocks. No worries if you stay within published load data and inspect your brass during processing and cleaning. Enjoy your new hobby to support the other hobby.

If you are driving to the match and have room, a complete spare rifle is the best peace of mind.
For a fly in match or limited cargo capacity: complete bolt, charging handle, pins and springs for the lower (especially trigger group), firing pin, cam pin, cam pin retainer, buffer retainer and spring.

Watch the used/re-sale market like a hawk. These pop up daily across the cyber world. Be ready to pounce on the next couple that appear.

Shock buff is the #1 culprit. There are two distinct schools on them: those that won't shoot without them and the other promises malfunctions with them. From my seat, you are shooting minor 9mm loads with an 11# recoil spring. Do you think that this modest combination will smash the pistol to smithereens? If not, what is the real value of introducing a shock buff to the equation?

Live in the Zen: bask in the successes and recognize the shortfall. Do it better next month.

Sounds like a winner. After your five 'dry' reps, how many times do you perform the complete draw stroke? Is this like 5 dry, 5 complete, lather-rinse-repeat?
-
Looks like a great training class.
Are those Deltapoints or RMRs on your pistols?
Is your wingman from your agency, or a shooting buddy or domestic partner or what?
What were the top three things that you learned from this experience?

Panic,
Amen. I notice the same thing: moving my finger left and right from the center of the first 'pad' of my trigger finger will push/pull the groups in the same direction that the finger moved. I haven't shot thousands of rounds this way but a few hundred shots confirms what you are describing.

I like 24.5gr of AA2230 for 55 grain FMJ blasting ammo. Accurate and predictable out to 200 yds.
-
Many shooters feel that JHP is more accurate than Ball/FMJ. I think that accuracy is anecdotal from pistol to pistol. See which your handgun prefers.
-
Another vote for Solo 1000. Double charge pours conspicuously over the case.
-
Another vote for 230 grain Round Nose, 4.0 gr of Clays, loaded to 1.250 OAL. Smooth shooting and consistent from my 1911s. Makes power factor, even from a Commander-length barrel.
-
I load 4.0 grains of Clays to 1.250 OAL for both 230gr RN and 200gr SWC. Shoots Major from 5" or Commander-length 1911s.
-
Another vote for the coffee can. Sits on the back of the bench, out of the way.
-
Load two with the strong hand. Your weak hand maintains a firing grip on the forearm so your thumb injury won't be exacerbated.

In my circle of friends running 9mm M&Ps about 8 of 10 guys run the 147 gr bullets. One guy swears that his Pro runs tighter groups with light 115s pushed fast. The final guys is agnostic, shoots whatever is on sale or available.
-
Consistency. That is my new mantra for the next few months.
-
Frank,
I had no idea that you were this active on Enos. Good to see you too.
-
Solo 1000. Clean and consistent with Precision Delta 147s.
-
I got the ISMI 13# spring and steel guide rod for my Gen 3 G34 from Brownells.
-
I shot a local club match where they used soft pistol-rated poppers for a 35-40 yard slug array. By the end of the match, only 20 ish shooters, each of the poppers had a bunch of well-defined dents or divits from the slugs punishing the targets. I would second the recommendations for using good steel and beyond 50 yards.
-
I run 2-3 of the TACCOM 6-Up for birdshot. For specialty ammo, slug or buckshot, I add one CCW four-shell caddy strong side between the Duoloads and my pistol holster.
-
I am running the Leupold Mk IV/MRT (1.5-5x) with the CMR-2 reticle. It is much more versatile than the Bushnell 1-4x and Trijicon 3.5x ACOG which I ran previously. Lightly used or on sale and it would meet your price point.

Colt gold spring is the current military standard. You also want a black insert inside the spring. Blue inserts are the old style and weaker than the black ones. My rifles are split between the Colt gold/black combo and the Wolff extra power springs without inserts.
Striker broke prematurely - is this normal?
in S&W (M&P, etc)

Is the factory striker the best one available? I have seen these stories of broken strikers again and again on the various web forums.
I just wondered if there was an aftermarket striker that could hold up more reliably to the dry fire and live fire schedule of being an active shooter?
