S2 as it gives you more viable & competitive options. S2 loaded to 10rds for USPSA Production S2 with long mags 22+1 for steel matches S2 loaded to 16 for outlaw action pistol

I've been running the 16rd mec-gars with rubber base pads for over 4 years and they're still good to go (look good and run well at matches with no hiccups) - so +1 for the 16rd.

I have been running a 10# for the last 3 months and I did some testing at the range today so I will be switching to an 11#. I believe my sights return faster/flatter with the 11# recoil springs. I shoot 147gr loads making 128PF

I've loaded over 40K rounds of 9mm all tested on my 7 round EGW case gauge. If it passes the EGW it will pass any 9mm barrel. Set your press up properly and load so that it passes the EGW case gauge and you will not have any second thoughts about the ammo loaded.

I run the S2 LOK Palm Swells on my SP01 Shadow and this current setup gives me better grip/control compared to any of the aluminum grips. I have small to medium sized hands and my initial concerns was that the palm swells would be too wide . . . it actually fits nice (gives the gun some ass to hold onto). I had the CZ75 Palm Swells but the top part of the grip did not fit too well since it flares out at the top, I ended up exchanging the CZ75 palm swells for S2 palm swells and its perfect!!!!

My SP01 Shadow Target has been my primary shooter for the last 6 years. Its got a lot of rounds through her and the finish looks pretty beat up - I just chalk it up to the guns character. The S2 has a nicer finish to start with.

Recently sold my Sq Deal for ~80% of retail price. if you take it apart, the press will fit nicely in a USPS large flat rate box

Yes, it’s an awesome bonus feature. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have both the PSA gen 2 and a QC10 in Glock. Although the PSA works just fine, the QC10 is much nicer especially when it comes to loading/unloading a magazine (the PSA works, but the QC10 does it much better, faster, smoother). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently switched to LOK palm swell bogies S2 on my Shadow SP01 and I am one happy customer. Let me just say this is the best grip I have found for my CZ. The amount of grip I get is phenomenal. I have small to medium sized hands and the palm swell actually helps fill in the gap between your hands and the pistol grip giving you more to hold onto resulting in a better grip.

They’re around $70 delivered. Very nicely cut out of aluminum, fits well and functional. Awesome addition to the PCC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here’s the PSA lower with the BMiller magwell - I’m very happy with my magwell from BMiller. Will be getting another one shortly.

I shoot with 3 different guys who run the LeadStar rifles and the LeadStar AR9s are rock solid! The guys who own them seem to dig their rifles and will proudly share when asked to “show and tell”. Good luck.

Thank you. I’ve reached out to BMiller.

Does anyone know where I can get a magwell to fit my PSA AR9? See photos.

GunBugBit - great tips and excellent info!!!! I agree that this game is about familiarity. By going above and beyond what is typical will definitely push improvement.

I shot my 2nd USPSA match today using the GhostStryke ear protections. Todays round count was about 175 rounds, temperature outside was about 100 to 105, I wore the GhostStrykes the entire duration of the match (5 hours). This time around, I affixed the ear buds into my ear canal properly (per the instructions), in addition I cranked up the volume on these babies . . . it was amazing having "bionic" hearing and still have protection from the ear damaging gun fire ringing all around me at the range. With today's hots temps, it was also nice to have these vs ear muffs. And on a side note, the company has a 30day money back guarantee on these babies. The people manufacturing these are pretty confident in the quality of their product. I'm happy with my purchase, these guys are staying in my range bag.

I just picked up a pair and Im pretty happy with their product. I just posted a review on it.

I recently picked up a pair of the Ghost Stryke electronic ear buds (by SportEar) and wanted to share my experience since there seems to be very limited online reviews/user feedback on this item. Before I get into the review, here’s some background on my experience and use for hearing protection. Shooting. I shoot action pistol (USPSA) with a few Southern California and Dallas Ft Worth USPSA clubs. I’m typically out at a match or at practice 4 times a month. Hearing Protection - I own and have used all of the following both indoors and outdoors • Howard Leight - electronic ear muffs • Sure Fire EP3, EP4 and EP5 - polymer based ear buds. • Hearos and Mack's - disposable foam ear plugs • Custom injection molded ear piece. The Ghost Stryke comes packaged in a very sleek matte black box (very “Apple-esque” type of packaging), the package also included six #10 hearing aid batteries, 2 sets of foam tips (large and not, 2 sets of silicone tips, as well as one pair of silicone secure fit extenders. An instruction manual and a compact zip up carry case also come standard with each kit. Upon arrival at the outdoor range, I excitedly jammed the Ghost Stryke ear buds into each of my ears (the Ghost Stryke ear buds come labeled (L) and ® which is very convenient). In terms of comfort and feel, they were very light and comfortable. I would describe the “fit and feel” as somewhere between foam disposable earplugs and the ear buds that come with the iPhone (at least in terms of weight). A quick adjustment of the on/off/volume knob on each unit enables users to have "bionic" like hearing. I wore my Ghost Stryke ear buds the entire duration of the match (about 5 hours), the compact and lightweight design enabled me to move freely and without restrain all day long. The electronics did an amazing job of muffling the ear damaging noise from the gunfire while still enabling me to vividly hear the range officer's instruction. I am very happy with my Ghost Stryke electronic ear buds which is why I am taking the time to share my experience. PS. They also offer a 30day money back guarantee – I don’t know the details so please check their website for yourself.

Hey Fellas, I'm moving to TX early next year, the two cities I'm considering are Austin or Dallas. Does anyone know which area has more access to IPSC local clubs? I'm coming from So Cal and I feel very fortunate to have reasonable access to 5 different IPSC clubs/ranges (I do drive an hour out to get my weekly fix). Thanks in advance for the info - hopefully I get to squad with you someday.

I just picked up some N320 - hopefully it's as good as everyone says it is.

Just get extended firing pins. I load with TULA, Fiocchi, CCI, and Winchester and no issues whatsoever.

I've loaded over 5k 9mm without hiccups on my SDB - it's currently set up for 45LPP. The SDB is a great press (inexpensive and doesn't tale up much space). I am considering picking up a 650 (set to small primer) to load 40 and 9mm and leave the SDB set up for 45 and large primer

Changing out SDB from 9mm to 45 is fairly easy, although its not something I plan on doing from week to week. I would suggest building up inventory of one load before swapping to another load.

About 3 weeks ago, I boxed up my SDB and sent it back to Dillon for service (a chunk of the press body broke off and the handle also broke off - I guess I need take it easy). Ive received the press back and loaded about 1K rounds . . . its feeling smooth and silky like it should be.
