  1. Thanks, let me email them see what exactly is the kind of operation they have there!!!
  2. Actually you would be amazed how many people wanted to relocate there from US!
  3. Anyone still using the MK1919 or are there newer open shotguns on the market? sorry, haven't done 3-gun in a while!
  4. It really depends on the powder. I've noticed that some of the more expensive powders (VVs for example) leave minimal residue at any one location while cheaper powders leave a mess everywhere.
  5. folks, I'm relocating to Dubai for a couple of years, any idea what kind of hobbies I might find there that are still related to shooting?
  6. I disagree. You will need to reload sooner or later in some weird stage. Better be confident with reloads than assume they won't happen except in classifiers.
  7. oh, also, for the GMR-13, is there any sort of extended mag release for it? It take me a while to find it and that would waste a lot of time on stages with reloads especially classifiers.
  8. so for reloads guys, which mags do you use, the standard 17rnd I assume since they are easier to reload? New to PCC as well:)
  9. Just curious, which mainstream sport do you guys think requires/uses similar set of skills like those we use in our sport? I'm leaning toward tennis for footwork, grip strength, etc, but wan to hear your thoughts on that?
  10. actually mags get stuck in the grip by itself is i just push hard enough. I think I need to file the grip a little. Ok, time to use my dremel tool!
  11. Hey Al, both have STI frames and SV grips. One work the other doesn't. Not sure what's wrong!
  12. guys, need your help. So I bought this new SV signature grip as fitted it to my limited gun. I also have the same exact grip on my open gun. Anyway, the problem is that my 4 SV mags now don't fall freely out of the new grip though they do on the exact same grip of my other gun. Any idea how to tune them to fall freely? thanks in advance...
  13. so questions, if I want to order a shooting jersey but I'm not really sponsored by anyone, can I still use all those logos, etc?
  14. guys, I messed up the labels on all my springs and now I don't know which is which. I mean you can tell which is longer, but any easy way to know which is which? I know I have an 8#, 9#, 10#, 11#, and 12#. but I"m not sure which is which?? thanks in advance...
  15. so I broke one of the rounds from the suspect batch. Seems that the powder is sort of caked together in chunks! Now this also happened to be a compressed load so I don't now if that explains it or not. All I know is that the ignition of that ammo is very weird. It burned very slowly like a rocket on stages you know!!
  16. so here's something interesting that happened to me and I can't fully explain. I was at that match last weekend and I started having some malfunctions but I didn't give that much attention. Anyway, today I took the same ammo batch and thought I'll go practice a little (that's 38 super loaded with N105). I noticed that my ammo box had some sort of liquid spilled in it. Again, didn't think much of it and start loading my mags for practice. When I started my practice session, I started getting more malfunctions. Only then I started trying to understand what's going on and some I can feel that the powder isn't burnning fully. As in, the power burns on stages, I can even hear the boom in bursts, not sure how to explain this. It's like the powder is burning on stages making teh slide move on stages or something like that! so my question is, has anyone ever seen something like that before? Can that be because of whatever liquid that was spilled on my ammo box?
  17. So you guys are really saying it's not the load, it's the grip/recoil control?
  18. flatness as in muzzle rise/dot movement.
  19. I was looking at some of the videos in slow motion of both myself and some of the top shooters and somehow I could see my gun/load is not as flat as some of those top shooters. Or is it that their grip is much better than mine and not really the gun load?? How would you test for that? Also, is there a test for "flatness"? How do I know if my load is really the best I can achieve or there is better other than how it feels? Is there some test/method that is accurate and objective?
  20. Completely agree. If you're rushing it, you're not doing so good and need to go back to your control zone.
  21. guys, like I mentioned in another thread, I have 3 SV mag tube that get stuck in the gun somehow and do not freely fall during reloads. I called Brandon and he said I have to send him the gun along with the mags for him to tune. I really don't want to send my gun now since it's problematic for me (I have to drive 3 hours to ship any firearms). Is there anyone on this site that knows how to tune those mags without needing the gun (just through measurements)?
  22. Thanks guys!! so am I hearing that 2011s feed better loading longer?
  23. folks, just curious, form VV's load data you have the folloiwng load: 4.1gr of N320 @1.126 should give you 968fps (around 172PF) from a 5.5bbl. Yet I noticed most people on this forum will load long (up to 1.2OAL) for N320. Any reason why the load data form VV doesn't work???
