Studlee

Good grip. Not as aggressive as the PT but just right if you don't like aggressive.

Was using AutoComp for a while on a 124gr PD bullet. Earlier this year switched to CFE Pistol. Had to go .1gr higher charge than autocomp. For me recoil impulse was less and cleaner powder.

Recently got a couple boxes of 124 gr 9mm. They are plated. So far so good. Weight and dimensions are consistent.

Use an old toothbrush and alcohol to clean surface and let dry. Then use heat gun to warm up the grip and tape. The heat on tape will make it more pliable for the curved surfaces. Sometimes the edges don't stick well, I'll use Slow Jet glue in those spots. It still allow tape to come off without ruining grip later.

After wet tumbling and rinsing of the brass, I blow them them with air compressor to blow most of the water away. Then lay them on a towel for a day before loading.

From Naples your not too far from some east coast matches outside of Miami and north. Check out http://gunmatchadvisor.com/filter for FL.

I use One-Shot Sonic Cleaning Solution for cartridge cases. A few drops is all that is needed. Wet tumble for 1.5 hrs and inside and out is super clean. Using Dawn would take 2 - 2.5 hrs. After separating brass from the pins and rinsing the brass, I use an air compressor to blow off the extra water, then lay out on a bath towel. All dry in a couple hrs.

I emailed Dawson and they recommended the .225x.100 for the front sight. It's been perfect with no adjustment to rear. Hit POA. For sight tool I went with Fisher Solutions XL tool: http://www.sightpusher.com/New--XL-Tool.html

For paper, I bought a bunch of these: http://letargets.com/estylez_item.aspx?item=IPSC-P

Last ones I bought were from Make Ready Pro shop cuz they had them in stock. These are stippled. http://www.makereadyproshop.com/accurate-iron-stippled-m-p-backstrap-full-size-9-40/

Ionbond from Springer Precision.

Mostly Bayou. Have tried BBI and BlueBullets. When loading BlueBullets, you do get a blue residue on your fingers. They all shoot great though.

Love the 135gr Bayou's. Good compromise between the 124 and 147. I load 3.3 of TG at 1.137 OAL for XDm 5.25. Gets me 132PF.

IMO, the best bang for the buck is the Comp-Tac International. Kydex holster that comes with 3 belt mounts - Belt, Paddle, and DOH. For mags, I like the Ghost 360. Allows you to use it for different magazines.

^^ This. 3 of my mags I'm actually able to get 21 in.
