    Your pistol is best suited for the Production division of USPSA or the IDPA equivalent (whatever that is ).

    10 day wait Sarge Welcome to the forum! The P01 was my first CZ so it began the love affair, but once I got into competition I cleared out the compacts in favor of full sized guns. If you're near San Diego you're welcome to try anything I have.

    I like your thinking Trunk Monkey Being patient and buying used is a great way to get into Open, I've bought three used 2011 Open guns (two in the classifieds here and one on Gun Broker) and have been very satisfied. The most I've had to do is install fresh Aftec springs in one of them after a few hundred rounds.

    Just go nice and slow fitting the safety, a properly fit safety and a ruined safety are just a hair different

    One more thing about brass: I'm a member of an indoor range with a relatively small number of reloaders, so when I show up for a session I sweep up a pile of once fired (most likely) factory brass, shoot my reloads and leave them. For me it's that with 38 I have to pick up MY brass, but with 9 I can pick up ANY brass

    Don't bother with the expense of a new top end, just shoot 9mm in your 38
  7. kneelingatlas
    My experience may be completely unique, but this is just not true for me. I have never bought 9mm brass and I have bought every piece of 38 brass I've ever shot. The difference is in the sheer number of 9mm shooters (major, minor and factory) vs the number of 38 shooters, furthermore the percentage of 9mm shooters interested in their brass vs every 38 shooter I've ever seen scrounging for all their brass. The way my squad works: while everyone is taping and resetting steel, one shooter is picking up all the brass, at the end of the day everyone who wants some takes a split of the brass. The 9mm shooters always come away with more than they shot.

    I'll give you one: less powder. I've shot 9 major for a few years and recently picked up three 38s to play with. I haven't done enough testing to conclude without a doubt but at this point I still prefer 9mm. All things being equal it takes more powder to get the same velocity and I know in theory that additional powder should create more gas to keep the gun flatter, but I just simply haven't observed that. So far I haven't shot the same exact setup with 38 and 9mm at the same PF, but I'm working on it... Not worrying about my brass during a match is definely a big plus for me.

    Aaron, Do you plan to use it for competition or just target practice? 3n38 is a really slow powder for use without a comp.

    +1 Sarge
  11. kneelingatlas
    The coated bullets will probably be a little smokey at major velocity, but the Blue Dot should shoot pretty flat once you get the PF up.
  12. kneelingatlas
    What's the slowest powder you have?
  13. kneelingatlas
    Your 9mm GT should have come two barrels, one without ports, that's the one for factory ammo.
  14. kneelingatlas
    You should be able to get at it with the slide off.

    Great to hear big Nick The feed issues went away with the transition to rear spacer mags (the old ones had a spacer in the front.

    Then I would start by replacing the sear since it's only $9, then the hammer too if needed.
  17. kneelingatlas
    Is that Everglades comp steel? Before you buy anymore you might weigh it, Jared's comp weighs less than two ounces. My Super Shorty only weighs two ounces less than my full size, so if you put a heavy steel comp on a shorty, it might not feel any lighter than my full size.
  18. kneelingatlas
    My two short 2011s are 38, but the full sized is 9, I'm pretty sure I prefer 9 at this point but I have more load development to do in 2015.
  19. kneelingatlas
    Probably rounded off sear, hammer hooks or both. Have those surfaces been tuned?
  20. kneelingatlas
    So hammer follow then?
  21. kneelingatlas
    It is, I just got it before I left for the holidays, so I plan to shoot it as soon as I get back! I have another of Jared's comps waiting for a project and I'm debating using it on a CZ 75 based with a 4.9" barrel with no holes. That 2011 has two 3/16" holes: I'm thinking if I get someone to carve about two ounces out of that bull barrel it should weigh the same as my Bedell Super Shorty and make major with at least a grain and a half less powder.
  22. kneelingatlas
    I had an older one which took some work (and CCI MiniMags) to run reliably, but I have a few new ones which run great.
  23. kneelingatlas
    Light strikes in SA or won't drop the hammer?
  24. kneelingatlas
    I haven't shot the 5" yet, but my only complaint about the super shorty is that it has three holes and my hottest test loads only made 161pf (10.2gr of SP2!).
  25. kneelingatlas
    I can't wait to see your V6 when it's done I assume when you talk about the barrel lengths above you're talking about the length of barrel which comes to the end of the slide not including the barrel inside the comp right? For instance a 5" 2011 actually has a 5.4" bull barrel. I have three 2011s with a 4" slide, 4.5" slide and a 5" slide:
