Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Over the years, I've used many pistol platforms in both pistol and multi gun matches. Running your carry piece is the way these sports started, and your question leads to a bigger question: Are you shooting to game, to train, or both? I mainly shoot to train, and because I enjoy it, but I say there's room for both. Many times, I would shoot a 5" version of my 4" carry piece, with a refined service trigger in both. When I got more into the gaming/competitive aspect, I was shooting a 2011 with a trigger that was too light for street use. So, my answer is "yes", I shoot my carry piece in matches, especially if it's a new piece. I'm gaining proficiency and confidence with the same tool lives could depend on, while testing reliability, in the elements. If your new piece has an issue, 5 or 6 matches will usually shake it out. What better reasons to burn some ammo?
  2. This thread still comes in at the top of search results on this site. I'd say that since manufacturers change the materials they use at their leisure, and without notice, testing of new batches of primers or ammo is prudent, especially where light trigger pull weights are involved...and more so if the weapon sees potentially serious duty.
  3. So CZ did address the loose front sight issue, with a set screw from the factory on the accu bushing guns? No more loose/lost front sights?
  4. STI did a great job choosing the initial finish offerings. Not only does the TiNi/HC look great, but it should wear very well and hold resale value better than blued or painted finishes. I doubt many will want to further modify the slide or frame, so I don't see much of a downside to the HC. Slide and frame cuts suit my taste-just "racey" enough without going overboard. I'm #12 on Dawson's limited 9mm list, and have high hopes for the positive changes at STI. Dustin, I'm glad to hear you guys aren't rushing under delivery pressure. I'd rather have it right than fast. Currently waiting on my new P10 that went back for some TLC.
  5. Thanks again. Good to hear I may not need to buy/tune more mags, as I already have STI 40s I tuned that can double as spares. I did see uncle Teds YT vid on the pistol. I'm hoping there's more in the gun than the quick group that was shot...not to call Ted's hunting prowess into question whatsoever
  6. Thanks, Craig. I need to order a 24lb. spring for my 10mm stock II, since It's still trowing brass into the next county with a 22lb., so I can order the 21lb at the same time when I call Wolff. Have trhe STI mag springs improved any in the past few years, or do they still get weak quickly? Just wondering if I should replace the spring in the mag that comes with the gun, or if that's not needed. Did you have any function issues with your P10, and if so, how did you address them? I still have a bad taste in my mouth from an STI apeiro that was a real pain to get running. Hoping that won't happen with the P10.
  7. Hey Guys, Just put a P10 on order, and can't find much info on setup. Will be using it for fun, & maybe some hog hunting. Trying to get a head start as far as mags (will my STI .40 mags work?), recoil spring weight etc. Anyone have any input on tuning mags for this pistol?
  8. I'm shopping for one, too. Also would would like to find a adjustable rear sight. I just picked up a FNS-9L on GB for $536. shipped, with the SS finish slide.
  9. Welcome to Texas. You'll have a great time, and make some awesome memories. Only way to mess it up is getting in too big a hurry and getting DQed. That would really suck, especially given the journey your making. Might be worth reviewing the safety section in the match book PDF Sheldon was kind enough to post for us. Be safe & have fun!
  10. Good to see the support here. I got the Wife signed up, too. Guys, copy/paste that link & send some emails, and/or post it up where you can. Just 5 days left last I heard...
  11. Impressive rate of fire, lack of recoil and versatility. This thing looks like it shoots soft for a 5.56, but it's a 7.62. Our Guys need these... http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e29_1352371125&comments=1
  12. The problem is our rights are under attack. There are "lawmakers" out there right now trying to make it illegal to "stockpile" ammo, or even buy in bulk/online. No ammo=no guns. They have already succeeded in many areas. The media are gradually brainwashing more Americans into thinking that guns are evil. Most people have no clue as to the historic pattern of disarmament preceding mass murder. We'd better stop reacting to the symptoms and start dealing with the problem, or get used to living as disarmed subjects.
