I haven't loaded it in 38, but in 9 it's close to WAC, maybe a hair harder in the hand.
-
If you're using it for minor I would think a lighter bullet and a bigger charge of slower powder would be the ticket. I would try 100gr or 115gr over something like Longshot, 'Lilgun, N105, etc.
-
This should really be over here! Man I really like this setup! I've always been anti slide mounted dot, but it was easy to draw, easy to track and very light! I'm going to mess around with a few of my other comps, but I definitely want to shoot my next match with this dot.

This one uses a dovetail adapter, so no machining required; to employ back up iron sights you'd need some custom work and taller sights.

Is CZ the dominate Production choice now?
kneelingatlas replied to Blue Jacket's topic in USPSA/IPSC Shooting
Yes, a lot of the top guns are shooting CZs and Tanfoglios -
About what?

Here it is http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=203323&page=1

It has a recess for the bushing.

I know what you're thinking, it's tiny, it's no big name 2011 comp, but it works decent. I ran it from 120-170PF and they all felt about the same: like a soft minor load from an SP01.ETA: I'm pretty sure the width is to match the 75B narrow slide.

Strength, tune-ability, and looks. It started out mostly closed, then I figured, I would shoot it, open it up and I could tune the side to side by making one side bigger than the other and get it to track straight up and down.
-
All things being equal I'm still going to stick to my 5% per inch estimate, at least for my purposes: using slow powders in Open guns with barrel lengths between 4" and 6". This figure is based upon my results using barrels of the same make and rifling, so I think whatever role the barrel plays should be neutral. Now between CZ barrels, STI barrels and Schumann barrels I see huge variations
-
Have you gotten the sides of the hammer and corresponding areas of the frame? With 2000 grit?
-
I suspect the burn rate of the powder also has an effect. Garret, were you using a relatively small charge of fast powder? Perhaps if the charge reaches peak pressure before the bullet leaves the barrel there isn't much to be gained with more length. I have a few Open guns with 4 1/2" barrels which really take a hit in velocity when compared to 5 1/2" barrels, but I'm using large charges of slow powder and I suspect I'm not burning the entire charge before the bullet exits the barrel (queue large fireball!).
-
I also saw some gains when I opened up the first port a bit:
-
I welded a bridge across the fourth port and opened up the sides too, big improvement. Did you do all the mods at once or try it between each one? I haven't messed with side bleeders much yet, but I'm interested
-
Dillon 550 I'm pretty sure you can adjust the height of the ram which seats the primer so you can really lean on it. I load on a 650 and I slightly flatten the primers in their pockets.
-
Which reloading press do you use?
-
It sounds like something is rubbing, I've had it happen; it just takes a little thinking to figure out where to file.
-
Is the Shadow frame the same as the 75b SA? The physical frame is, but the Shadow has the extended mag release and one piece sear.
-
CTS: TS upper on 75 Shadow frame.
-
The slide is unmodified and it's made of aluminum. The idea was a bolt on solution like a Glock.
-
It wouldn't do you any good as a backup it's too short to co witness.
