Sweet shotgun...is the gas system the same as a 391?

I had triangle shooting sports do my lifter, open the feed port, massage the safety and take some material off the bolt. Then, I added carbon arms extension tube for 9+1. Finally, I adjusted the stock to fit me better, and voila...it is a beast for shotgun matches and three gun. Cycles anything I put in, fast to load, and the single extension tube should cure the slug accuracy (we'll find out this weekend).

I shot a round of sporting clays today with my VM Tactical shooting a mix of shells. Ran flawless. My Beretta shoots a little softer, but it don't hold 10! Very happy with this Remmy!

First question: What factory brands and bullet weights are reliable for practice and general USPSA shooting events in 9mm Shadows? I currently use 124gr Federal white box, but will eventually run out and can buy other brands at 115gr weights locally, such as Remington. Pickins are slim! Question two: For a Steel Match, am I better off shooting 124gr or 147gr? 124 gr is 1120 fps/345 ft lbs 147gr is 1000fps/301 ft lbs Thanks in advance!

I just put a safari land 5 round sock on my versamax for backup . Fits well. Will let u know if it works well in an upcoming match. My belt holds 24, btw, so the sock brings me to 29 shells.

Great, thank u both for clarifying. So marks tube will be 9+1 correct?

Silly question, but the smaller tube would be 9+1 or same as stock 8+1. Looking at Uspsa rules for tactical and want to make sure I'm not gonna be over the ammo capacity restriction....tks

Ordered JP 15 with some minor mods Nov 15, received early Feb.

Well, the Bushnell works and I am happy with it so far. This is my first time out with my new rifle. Had help from a RO to dial the dot in, he gave me some pointers, then shot 20 rounds of PMC 55gr at 50yds. Will see how it holds up at my first shoot in March, where I hope to also see what other people are using at my local range. Thanks to everyone who chimed in...

Looking forward to your pics. I too had a great experience with TSS.

Me like.

I like this idea...I just can't figure it out without some experience. Looks like i will start with the dot. Thanks!

Luck is with me. This is back on the table. Pris? Aim point? Or 1-4x?

Thanks fellas. I am sure we are all in for a rough ride. I am crossing ,my fingers for the best for everyone...

Well, my need for my first Optic has crashed and burned. Thank you for your support and answers. Hopefully there is another alternative, but I believe NYS Law just crushed my JP-15 on order for months now...a sad day.

Going to try and find some stores to get a look. With so many short range targets, I really am wrestling with the Red Dot vs Optic (1x-3/4x). My fear is that the real close stuff will still be slow with the 1x-3/4x vs the Red Dot at only 1x. I had a horrible experience shooting close targets with a scope that had fixed magnification. Still makes me cringe.

Thank you for the general feedback. It's a Flat Top, so I would have to add irons that can attach to the Piccanty rail and also would need something to attach to the handguard up front. I'm not opposed to starting with irons, but I will have to buy a set of irons specifically, so my thought is should I just put the money into a Dot or optic instead? I could also use one of the angled optics and just tilt the gun to the side...

My first AR is almost done so I figure it a good time to get an Optic order going. (I ordered it to be built) Please help me decide as I keep reading and going back and forth without a clue. Maybe I can't make a bad decision here. My need is for 3 gun and Tactical events where the range has mostly hoser and targets that are within 50 yds. An occasional 75 with the possibility to go upto 100. Majority paper USPSA style. My focus will be on fast sight acquisition, so I am thinking Red Dot from either EoTech, Aimpoint or Trijicon SRS. Leaning toward AImpoint or Trijicon. Aimpoint models either the PRO or the Micro. I envision shooting two eyes open. I hope to have a second upper someday for 22LR and wanted to swap the optic, so a mount recommendation is welcomed too. BTW, if I have a second upper, when switching mounts, I assume that I will have to go to the range and zero each swap, correct? Thank you, Mike

I run Federal white/red box in 124 gr as I don't reload yet. I have had no problems and the price seems economical. Would this be a good alternative for my CZ? Or should I just stick with what i have been using...(apologies for thread hijackin)

Thank you for those that posted about them. I just received my tactical diamonds and not only do they feel/grip great, but I find my draw and sights are "on" in comparison to my stock aluminum thin grips which required adjustment before I broke a shot.

Thank you. 625 seems like the smarter purchase...

Thank you for all the replies. My thoughts are 625 with 4" barrel at 45 acp or the 627 with 5" barrel at .357 mag (I dont see any 4" new). I have no idea why, but 357 mag just has an appeal to it (probably for no other reason than dumb movie, etc., references). I believe both can use moon clips. Moon clips look like something that I want. I do not reload, so of the two calibers/guns, what are the pro/con of each in terms of stopping power, second shot recovery, general controlability? Will factory loads for both meet major?

Thank you both. What do I need to consider to meet the backup gun criteria? I guess I missed something as I thought it was just another Pistol that you don't normally use in IPSC shoots. Of these, which is the smartest choice: .45, .44, .357

I am interested in a Revolver and have no idea where to start. Background: Virgin to Revolvers; completed my first year of USPSA/IPSC local competition shooting a semi. Today's Priorities are: 1. To be used as a home defender 2. To be used in a backup gun match and revolver specific matches. Would like to Meet Major Power Factor Any recommendations are appreciated! Mike

Love my cz, but shoot more uspsa than 3-gun (because of my range). Really like the mp grip, and think it fits more natural, but the cz is one heckuva shooter in the uspsa events. Don't think you can go wrong with either...
