[expander die on dillon 650 / 750]

.

[Aguila SPP]

I loaded 1000. Never again. They just slow down the process.

[.401 cast bullet issue]

Toss that “factory crimp die.”  I had nothing but trouble with one I tried.

[Lost shipment. What to expect.]

I avoid the problem by ordering only 1000 at a time.  Why try to kill my mail girl?

[anybody back to Glock after CZ / Tanfo ?]

1911s, SIGs, CZs, Glocks, Tanfos.  I’ve wasted a bunch of money searching for the “right” gun.  I should have spent it on practice ammo instead.

[Coated bullet]

I consulted Manuel and he agrees with 4n2t0.

[9mm or 38super ?]

Thanks for all the input , going to shoot a light 38 super tomorrow and see how the hand feels.

I have several Supers and gone-to-hell hands.  .38 Super loaded down to minor is a joy to shoot.  For some reason, perhaps the way it cycles the gun, 9mm isn’t the same.  It should be, but it’s not.

Heck back in the old days we shot 160's

just stay with the gassy powders to work the comp as much as possible

 

 

Indeed we did.  Ah, the good old days.

[SS under 1K .45 ACP]

I had a SIG  “1911”that was very accurate and reliable.

It appears not too hot.

[Questions for .38 Super owners]

Buy a Coonan.  That otta be hot enough.

[Has anyone ever received a new Tanfoglio like this?]

[Winchester small pistol primer issue]

The only primer I have problems setting off are Winchester.

[1911 Complete Disassembly, Cleaner, Lube]

Unless you really really want to take it all apart just keep shooting it.  At only 8k rounds I’d squirt some lube on the rails and keep shooting.  It depends what your comfort level is for a dirty gun.

It’s time for me to fully disassemble (not merely field strip!) my Colt Competition 1911. I’ve never done it before. I’d like to know what you use to thoroughly clean everything once disassembled, and advice on lubricants and lubricating during reassembly.  THANKS!

How did you determine it was time to detail strip?  I used to run tens of thousands of rounds through a 1911 with only the normal field strip cleaning.

[1911 38super or 9mm]

.38 Super all the way.  

[Winchester 572 Load Data]

You can use the 572 but you’re gonna be sorry you bought eight pounds of it :>)

[Winchester primers.......]

The only primer I have failures with is Winchester.  I actually prefer Remington.

[Glock to CZ back to Glock!!!!!]

I’ve tried the suspender thing, it does help distribute weight but the shoulders get tired.  Maybe at 70 I’m just too old for this game.

went from glock to  my  squadron of  CZ tactical  sports  for  uspsa.....went  back  to  glocks  for  one  reason,and  it's  the  fact  the  CZ  is  way  too  heavy  to  carry  around  in the  wait  for  my  run.  sure  enough  the  cz is  more  accurate  at  distance, but my  glocks  are  accurate enough for  such  game.  if  i  was  competing in steel  chalenges,would  try  to  find  a  way  to  make   the  ceezee  less  of  a  pain to  carry  around.

Indeed, my hip doesn’t ache carrying the Glock around an entire match.  Can’t say that about my Tanfoglio.

[Autocomp powder]

WST, N310, Sport Pistol..all better for 9 minor in my experience.

[Glock 34 failure to feed during loading or reloading]

Factory ammo or dodgey handloads?

[NEW: Walther Q5 Match - New awesome production guns showing up everywh]

I wasn't planning to buy one yesterday. Just find a shop with an ordinary PPQ to see how it fit me. Two shops had none when I called. At shop #3 though?

 

"Do you have a Walther PPQ in stock?"

"Several, yes."

"Do you have a 5 inch, by any chance?"

"We have that new one with the blue trigger."

"I am on the way there!"

 

Picked it up and it pointed right where the Tanfoglio did, the grip fit me perfectly, and the controls are where I instinctively want them to be:

 

"I'll take it."

 

Now I have RedHill rushing me a holster body, and a Dawson sight, Talon griptape, and 3 more mags all on their way.  

 

I've found your Tanfoglio videos most useful.  I too picked up a Q5 (in trade).  So far I like it better than any other plastic pistol save my HK USP .45.

[REDDING DUAL RING CARBIDE DECAPPER/SIZER DIE]

$109 at Midway! Jeeze.

[Back in the saddle]

I've recently returned to shooting after about a 20 year absence. I used to shoot a Colt .38 Super in IPSC and made it up to B class until my wife's health forced me to retire from spending money and time on guns. I still have a Wilson Comp'd .45 Combat Elite that's retired now, but probably the best and most accurate firearm I've ever shot. I now shoot SIG and HK 9mm and am looking to get back into the game, probably IDPA. This seems to be a great site for information.
