New pistol for both idpa and uspsa
IHAVEGAS replied to Chrisyoung's topic in "Other" & Pistol Comparisons
I called IFG (importer for the Limited Pros) about 3 weeks ago & they said yet this year. Patriot Defense posted a picture of the new LP frames (with Defiant inscribed on them) somewhere on this forum. Information flow from Tanfo seems treacherous in general. Text from the add below, you will find the same text on the Patriot Defense website & Ben Stoeger pro shop website and some other places if you look. Either the new and redesigned Stock 1 is IDPA legal or the Tanfo experts are running bad adds. It is weird to change guns dramatically and still keep the same names. I think the story is that the original stock 1 was just called the stock but then the 2 & 3 came out & people started calling it the stock 1and now there is a stock 1 . "Tanfoglio Stock models line is enriched with the STOCK I model semiautomatic pistol in double action suitable for Practical Shooting - Production Division and IDPA competitions SSP and ESP class. - The new Stock I allows the novice to approach the world of sports shooting and the expert shooter to compete in divisions that have been until now reserved to few models. - Stock I has a cylindric barrel113 mm long that can get excellent results also using coated tender ammunition bullets. - The slide is equipped with new and improved serrations for easy operation. - The frame is the Stock III one: it has a longer fore end up to the slide muzzle for a better balancing of the pistol and a picatinny base for the assembly of tactical lights and/or laser devices - The Stock It weighs less than 1219 grams including magazine." -
BOLO Tuning for a longer DA pull
IHAVEGAS replied to PatriotDefense's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
You just need to buy more Tanfos It gets easy after you have a few already shortened bolos to swap into the new gun & test. -
1911 Single Stack Holster / Rig Recommendations
IHAVEGAS replied to DWS's topic in 1911-style Pistols
That is my favorite RHT. No problems with the double either if the fit is good, I think it might be easier for them to deliver a good fit with the single but that is just a guess. -

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/789161912 New version of stock 1, IDPA legal, available now but I think they are priced a bit high at the moment. Limited pro's are still supposed to be shipped this year, they are a little late, I think they were initially looking for them to arrive mid to late summer. -
BOLO Tuning for a longer DA pull
IHAVEGAS replied to PatriotDefense's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
Nerve racking. If you take it a smidge too far you will not be the first. -
Depends on how fussy you are. My guns have PD bolo, Titan hammer, 1 piece sear, extended firing pin block, lighter hammer spring, PD or Xtreme extended firing pins & fp springs, reduced weight trigger return spring. Basically I just asked Joe at Patriot Defense what goodies to get for the best trigger I could get. Lots of folks put in extra power extractor springs, I use stock unless I have an issue. You do not need all that stuff but for me it is worthwhile.

The first two I did were drop ins. -
"If everyone agrees, then nobody is thinking" I was surprised when I shot a friends open gun at how much quieter it was from the shooters position than from the r.o.'s position at the side, and, there is a wide range of sound pressure level with different open guns and loads.

I assume you can use it to fine tune point of aim at the range? When I had CZ's with fixed sights and the CZ specific sight tool I used it a lot. If you have adjustable sights or are not obsessive-compulsive about poa then it may not be worthwhile.

The scoring rules are pretty clearly laid out in the USPSA rulebook. One case is a no-shoot penalty and the other one is not. I think it is a good idea to either read the scoring rules or have somebody at the range explain them to you. That is not being snarky, it is a game, so there have to be rules. I think with IDPA shoot throughs count, but it has been a while since I've looked at those rules.

Not just Glock, or IDPA. No Dremel or file rules are stupid.

7. Les Baer, 1911, Premier II, 9MM Luger, 1.5 in. Accuracy Guarantee, Green Fiber Optic Front Sight, Single Safety ... Delivered Price - $2,604 In stock at 1911 Heaven. I have been thinking about such things -
You might decide to become a nobody after a few matches , for a 1911 person a soft shooting 9mm 1911 can be really nice. Reloading is either part of the fun or a chore depending upon who you are talking to or how you are geared.

The last time I worked a level 2 the RM made sure that we did not have any line on top of line targets on my stage. I think what one person would see as a sloppy set up another person would see as a set up that avoids scoring issues. +100

Failure to go into battery during match... potential causes?
IHAVEGAS replied to regor's topic in Miscellaneous BEginners
Trying to remember how a CZ behaves when you bump the safety up a very tiny bit during recoil or reloading . In any case DSPerman extra power safety springs are a popular reliability mod. -

Oh, good thing for a newbie to know is that some of the suppliers have forum discounts if you tell them you are a Benos person. -

https://techwearusa.com/g10-dualtec-semi-aggressive-fat.html Is one of the versions of that grip + their system Magwell the new hotness for USPSA SS or is it something else? Figured the op would want to know & I'm making the dive back in myself. -

9mm Suggested Load Production Minor 147gr. Zero JHP CZ 75Pistol Vihtav
IHAVEGAS replied to RWingNJ's topic in 9mm/38 Caliber
A lot of buzz about the somewhat new Sport Pistol powder being a cheaper alternative. Never bought VV because I never had a powder where I thought dirty burning was an issue, am about half way down on an 8 lb jug of SP though (147 gr 9mm loads) does seem like it is cleaner than what I'm used to. -
0.05 second per stage on average. (0.0 most of the time but there will be that stage once in a while where you start with a really tough shot and take more time to insure a smooth pull) Pure wild guess.
-
Wise man. The S2 out of the box is nice, but if you are used to a really well set up CZ then you will want to get it to that level (at least I did).

Straight barrel vs cone barrel accuracy difference?
IHAVEGAS replied to Drtheo's topic in Tanfoglio (EAA / IFG)
It depends. You can buy a 1911 that has been proven to shoot 1.5" or better 50 yard groups and I think CZ Custom makes similar guarantees on their accuracy-bushing guns (not sure about CZC, from memory). For strictly off the shelf guns priced about the same, then I think you are correct.
