  1. I'm pretty sure the difference between the IPSC Standard and the TS is in the slide, specifically where I meets the frame; the TS has a radius for additional strength at the corner.
  2. I bought my 9mm TS used, but I came with all the factory stuff, no buffers though; 40 came with.
  3. In the US? fat chance Your best bet is to buy a 9mm Limited and customize it. I'm in the middle of a Hunter project right now:
  4. Here's the picture I was looking for This is my buddy in Pakistan's TS:
  5. Some 2011 guys open up the rear of the slide to the extractor channel:
  6. The top and bottom pictures are 2011 pictures I pulled off Google, but the middle three are my Tanfoglio Hunter project which shed 1.7oz, ~0.5oz from the rear.
  7. Either from the inside: or the outside:
  8. Just practice DA shots bringing the gun up from the bench; then draw to the DA pull in dry fire at home.
  9. I've never owned a Stock III, but I've held one and it seemed to have the same finish as the Hunter and if I shoot my Hunter, then leave it in my range bag overnight I do get some surface rust.
  10. Now we're talking Stuart! I've got a stroked 6" Tanfoglio in the works right now
  11. The DA shot is a part of the draw, apply pressure as you acquire the sights, the shot breaks as the sights meet the target. Easy "Eurotrash method" Here in 'Murica, us cowboys use the spur!
  12. Here's the problem I see with buffers in the TS: the TS is "small framed", now before anyone pipes up with "the TS is built upon the CZ 97 frame" (that's just not true) or "the TS grip is waaay bigger than my Shadow" I'll say this: the TS mag is wider than the Shadow for higher capacity in .40 so it can compete with 2011s in Limited, but it is no longer from the front to back. This, the ability to accept longer "large frame" calibers such as the .38 super, 10mm and the .45 ACP, is the defining characteristic of a "large frame" pistol. That being said, the small frame pistols have a shorter stroke, than large frame pistols so you can get away with shortening the stoke with a buffer on a large frame pistol shooting small frame rounds (9mm and .40), but it has a detrimental effect on a small frame gun shooting small frame ammo loaded as long as we all like to. Think about it: at the rear of the slide stroke, the slide is at rest, then is accelerated by the recoil spring. In a small frame gun it picks the next round out of the mag sooner than in a large frame gun with a spacer at the rear of the mag, so it has less distance in which to pick up momentum before hitting the resistance of the next round. This next part is untested theory (talking out of my ass), but it seems to me, a lightened slide would have less momentum to strip the next round, as well as a lighter sprung slide. Final recommendations: 1. Give the buffers a try but I suspect they will give you feed issues 2. If you're going to lighten your slide, take weight from the rear of the slide as well as the front, in my two slide lightening experiments I found that the slide with all the weight out of the front magnified the muzzle flip much more than the slide with weight out of the rear as well. I suspect this is because the rear of the slide is what rotates over your wrist as the muzzle rises.
  13. Just the sight cut. Some older Matches have the super sight cut, in which case the answer would be only the script on the side.
  14. I shoot SP2 and VV claims 3N38 is an equal so it might behave similarly: I shoot 115gr bullets @ 1.160" and when I loaded more than 9.5gr, the velocity started to go down; 10gr actually yielded less velocity than 9.5gr. At a shorter OAL with a heavier bullet I suspect you hit the same point at a lower charge weight.
  15. 9x21 is just for countries which outlaw civilian use of military arms, load data an ballistics are the same.
  16. Talk to george76904 he and his dad are making them last I heard.Oh and if you're not reloading don't bother with a comp, it won't do anything with factory ammo. That's not an exaggeration either, you really can't tell the difference.
  17. Why Open of course! I'm actually not kidding. The dot makes hard shots and shooting on the move easier plus with one or no mag changes it's much easier to break down a stage.
  18. Maybe we can set something up in early October. Which division would you like to shoot?

  20. I'll trade you a set of SP01 safeties for Shadow safeties, are yours the D style or the tumbler style? (take a picture of the right side and I can tell you if you don't know); if tumbler we'll have to trade sear cages as well.
  21. First question: do you have a chronograph? a. No a.1. get a chrono b. Yes b.1. see below: Here's what I do when working "off the charts": make a ratio of the bullet weights, multiply by the charge weight and that's generally a safe starting point as the charge weight tends to go down less than that for the same PF. Disclaimer: be safe, take anything you read on the internet with a grain of salt and do your own extrapolation.
