For the 135's, I load 3.5gr Sport Pistol @ 1.130 and have had good results. Nice recoil impulse, accurate, low SD's, and low smoke.
Same load I ended up at, also like the 147 FP with 3.2 grains of Sport Pistol at 1.130" make 133 PF in a gen 5 glock 17.

Have not shot one yet, but the local gun shop has got them in. The 48 is sweet, and the 48 slide fits the 43 to make a long slide 43. He is on the 2nd batch, they are selling very well. When I buy it will be the 48, get the long slide and the find a 43 to go the long slide short frame route.

Might add a 4.5# striker spring at the most, then lots of dry and live fire, the trigger will keep getting better the more you shoot.

In my area $40 per 1k, at a gun show the same for primers from the early 80's. Not knowing how they have been stored i would rather buy new. 10k plus hazmat saves me a bit, more if you look for the sales. Most of the gun show folks around my area bought mass amounts at the peak price, so they are not going to sell at a loss.

It definitely will print less.
Winter time, I carry a Ruger security 9 (same dimensions as the Glock 19)
Summer time, it's a Kahr CW9
It's quite a bit easier to keep from printing with the slimmer profile under just a tshirt as opposed to a jacket.
I'm interested in the Glock 48 myself to replace the Kahr with it's long revolver like trigger.
As a replacement for the CW9 I think the 48 will be perfect. I carry a G19, but durring the hot time of the year I am always worried about printing.

Also make sure your resize die hasn't work it's self out, I've had that happen before, not getting sized all the way to the base.

Gen 5's need to be loaded short with most coated profiles, I load blue bullets 135tc's at 1.120 for a gen 5 34 and gen5 17, any round nose and that drops OAL a lot.

I would be more impressed if someone figured out how to use a G26 magazine in a G43!
Heat gun, get the grip warm and make it fit

40 lite CO
in Glock
No, but I shoot with a guy that shoots 40 minor in IDPA for SSP and loves it. He is shooting a gen 3 35 and thinks it is softer than any of the 34s he has shot.

I was the shooter in this senario.... I did not realize due to the distance that I was actually hitting all shots low and as a result the three to the body did fall in the 0 down area and the two to the head were just under the head area....I thought the target should have been scored 10 down but to no suprise I ended up 28 down on this one target.....
Needless to say I have decided to skip the next match because this particular S.O. Is running the match...I will not shoot any future matches with this S.O. Running the match....
Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, comments, and support.....Mark
You should let the club know that you will not shoot with them anymore because of this type of SO. Also might want to show the SO the rules and see what they say when shown the rules. No SO/RO is perfect, and getting called out sucks, but it might help in the end to make them a better SO.

I have a 17 mos fs gen 5 on the way! I shot a gen 5 34 in carry optic a little this year and liked it but really was wanting the front serrations, figured I would give the 17 a try for next year. I like the way the 17 feels shooting a stage a bit more than a 34, not sure why.

I shot in this class twice with a SIG P320RX, and made several range trips before my first match, only to realize that the Romeo1 red dot is to small for these 59 year old eyes....I was chasing that dot all day....Purchased a Burris FF3 6 MOA and will give it a try again in the near future.....
Right now I have shifted my focus to PCC and with a C-More 8MOA I find that big red dot easily.....But remember - I am old....Mark
Agree with the Romeo1 being small, I've shooting a P320RX in USPSA and have felt the 3MOA dot has been hard to track in Bright sunlight. I did shoot a 6MOA vortex in three matches this year, and other than the window being smaller I did find it easier to track. Yesterday I was able to look at a DDP 2.5MOA side by side with my Romeo1 and it seem to look twice as big as the 3MOA Romeo1.

I have a few 9mm pistols I would be using these in. . Glock 17, PPQ, M&P, CZ75B, and a 1911 9mm.
Well for the Glock 17 3.1 of titegroup and a 147 blue flat point at 1.125" has been a stellar load for me, also 3.3 grains of sport pistol has shown a great bit of promise.
-
What gun are we talking about? 147gr blues and 3.1 of titegroup is a great load.
-
I had to use a pocket knife last weekend.
-
I have not pull the trigger on an open gun since 2005, but back then AA#7 and a 124 grain fmj in a 38 super was the sh#t!

Have played with a few Gallant 135 and 125s and liking them so far. Blue Bullets have been all I've ran, other then 1 case of bayou and the Blue have been great, but the gallant seem to be just a tiny bit more accurate. The 135 gallant might be my new favorite.
-
Blue Bullets or Gallant 125-147 grain, add a little titegroup and have fun.
-
Try "Glockparts.com", I put a G34 mag release in my G3 19. not a lefty but short thumbs it help a lot and it was cheap.

Blue Bullets or Gallant, 1.250" CCI primer and 3.9 grains of Clays makes 172 power factor in my 5" springfield 1911.

Thanks. Just putting my CO Gen5 34 together now

I have 2 of the plus 3 and 1 plus 5 and they have been flawless. TTI cost more, but they work. I also run the TTI grandmaster trigger kit in the gen 5 34 and it has been flawless so far, only have three matches with it so far but no problems.

Are the TT basepads any wider? I am looking to replace the G5 basepads for a G5 G34. Did not want any problems with the flared magwell.....

I run the TTI plus 3 in a gen 5 34 and they work fine.
9mm loads for Blue Bullets

Every gun is different, but it's funny how many end up liking the same combo.
