[.40 powder]

Titegroup works well for me loaded long

[Starting load for 165 grain blue bullets in .40]

Dont go too light. At my 137 PF the brass is almost falling out on ejection. STI with full weight slide and 10lbs recoil 15 pound hammer

[Starting load for 165 grain blue bullets in .40]

I got 137 PF with 3.8 gr WST at 1.190 from a 5" STI.

[Pet loads for .40 minor?]

I dont have Clays but i have WST. Where would i start for a 180 plated minor load at 1.18~1.2. Thanks

I think 5.4" is a solution to a problem that doesnt exist

[Coated Bullets vs Zero HP FMJ's]

Looking at switching to Blue Bullets. I'm using less powder and seem to be just as accurate (within any meaningful measure) as Zeros and MG

[40s&w oal]

1.18 to 1.20

[CK Arms Thunder Limited]

Just FYI CK steel grip is a sure fit in a DAA Racer

[Steel grips]

I have a Freedom Gunworks Limited gun with the CK Arms Steel grip and I like it a lot. I would say it has a medium grip texture and gives a lot of weight to the gun.

Oouch! Savage

[VP9 loads]

135~137 with n320 and 147 Zero jhp. Never a hickup

[VP9 Experience]

Trigger finger to dro the mag. I just wish the little paddles were longer like on a P99

[Is area 1 a good well run match]

What's "Silver Bullet". I'm asking about area 1 championship how do I find out if there are weekend slots?

[Is area 1 a good well run match]

I heard this year that the weekemd slots sold out. I haven't checked that personally. But having to take extra days off work to shoot in the middle of the week would cause many of those added slots to go unfilled.

Geez I think I heard that somewhere else. That they opened early to local shooters that filled the weekend slots. How would I even find you because I can't see squaring on practice score without registering first and it doesn't seem like they have a Fb or other website running ?

[Is area 1 a good well run match]

Trying to understand why area 2 sells out in 3 minutes and area 1 still has 100+ openings. What's everyone else know that I don't???

[recoil and muzzle rise vs barrel length.....]

I guess he's assuming it would be the same angle and since the sight radius is longer, hence, will rise higher. BUT...angle will not be the same due to several reasons, first one being, a heavier slide and one that is nose-heavy, will naturally be tamer, if ammo is the same. BUT...a 6" slide could dip more, if you don't have your fundamentals squared away, like me

Yup. Im assuming a slide that has been lightened to,weigh the same as a 5" slide shooting the same ammo. If you would expect the same angle of barrel litt the sight would seem to rise more from LOS. In the real world there are many factors at play.

[1911 slide lightening cuts = stress cracks?]

Ive seen several tri-topped around the ejection port

[New Colt Competition Pistol Coming]

Meh

[Techwell TGO or Techwell XT?]

Tgo

VZ Aliens!

[recoil and muzzle rise vs barrel length.....]

The 6" has to rise more given a longer radius all else equal.

I dont get rails on competition guns

Thanks for the write up

[Ck textured 2011 grip]

I think the slightly smaller feeling of the CK grip is because the front strap is not a squared off as a standard STI plastic grip
