Hello BHill, I will give the N320 a shot and see, what it will do. Recoil and muzzle blast is not my aim. On the other hand, QL seems not to be build for revolvers. My velocities where waaaayyyy slower than QL said. I´ll try it anyways.

@BHill: That´s interesting. I thought that the N320 would be the last to use, because it´s quite a bit fast and will lead to higher pressures. Do you use it in the .44 Magnum?

@wgj3 All disciplines in .44 Magnum in my shooting association (BDS) here in Germany.

Hello guys, bought me an used S&W 629 PC with a 6" barrel (looks like a competitor, but w/o the rail), and am new to load this caliber. I´m having coated 245grs. Elmer-Keith-style bullets on hands (Lyman mold #429241), OAL 1,614". To pass the chrono test in matches over here, I have to do a 250 PF+, what seems very sporty to me. That means I have to make over 1.020 fps. My powders are VV N320, N340, N350 and 3N37. Which powder would you chose to reach that velocity? How far can I go with the charge? Any experiences welcome! Jay

Always a work in progress....

Thanks to all of you guys, I will go for it.

Are you kidding me? Pffff, over here in Germany, where this baby is born, we have to pay double that price. http://www.waffen-centrale.de/Sig-Sauer-P329-Compact-Kal-9mm-Lug http://www.frankonia.de/Pistole+P-320+Full-Size/SIG+Sauer/Ansicht.html?Artikelnummer=186897&brandCategory=7134&navCategoryId=7134 Prices are in Euro. Would be much more cheaper to buy one in the US and re-import that thingy, what a joke.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I added some skateboard tape to different pistol grips and it went off from all of them after a while. I don´t know why, old tape, stupid operator (me), to much and agressive hand sweat, wrong pistols (Czech), but it didn´t work for me.

@motosapiens: Unfortunately there are so many kinds of 3M deck and stair tape, that I´m begging you to post a link inhere from your stuff. That would help me a lot.

Ok, have ordered some "Jessup". Will sand the original wood grips down and give ´em a shot.

This wouldn´t fit the IPSC box, I suppose.

How´s the preparation for this? Do you just clean with alcohol, or does the surface have to be rough (sanded)?

@moto: Maybe I´ve used the wrong stuff? Have an original big skateboard - tape, will google yours. I was hoping that the epoxy, glued right on, would hold better. @MRrevolutionIX Had those on it, but they are pretty big on the TS, my hands are only mid size. @adamage Have tried the alu grips, w/wo tape, they are very flat and don´t fullfill my hand.

Hello guys, did someone of you make some sand grips for the TS, with some epoxy or so? I had skate board tape on it, but that didn´t really hold very long. So I´m thinking about glueing some sand on it with epoxy or something. Has anyone been doing this? Some info would be great.

What are your thoughts about the P-09, compared to the Shadow, f.e..

Sorry, because of the bullet diameter, which might be to small because of the U-die also. If you are shooting "weak" bullets (everything else than MJs), the bullet diameter should be compatible to the barrel diameter, which means, the bullet should be 1/1000"+ wider than the barrel.

Well, but might be the precision will suffer..... A LOT, if so.

Very good shooting man! This is a 9mm, right? I saw you shoot a Shadow on Youtube, did you do Production as well?

+1 Put your thumb downwards will give you a much better control.

Cleaning when I think I should, not to often, but I do it once or twice a month (so every six shooting sessions or so). Have used brake cleaner with big success, take off the grip panels, just spray it in, brush over it, and then spray the dirt out, oil it. Now a friend of mine, who is cleaning his pistol after every shot or so ( ) gave me a can of cleaning benzine (right term?), which does the same, just without spraying.

Hello Hopper, I wouldn´t change that safety. I had a Shadow with this wide safety and have now another one with the slim safety. The wide safety is a perfect thumb rest, and if you want to shoot steel, or try it in Standard, you definitely will miss this thingy. I would love to have my wider safeties back, they were a great application for me.

Yes, that´s what I tried to say. The hair dryer might the grip hot enough, really. Don´t forget to take off your plastic grip panels before.

That´s correct, but do it carefully and with some fine sand paper. With taking away to much material you will force the play of course. You only have to lightly polish away those little high spots, as you name it. Sorry if my writing above was so missunderstanding. I´m not an English native speaker.

I´m German, so I´m not sure about the term, but a heat gun, as I understand it, will produce much more heat than a hair dryer, right? Take care and don´t overdo it. To much heat will damage your coating. I´ve used a hair dryer for so long, until I wasn´t able to touch the grip frame with my fingers, hot enough so.

Yes, the frame of the grip at its very front end, like I wrote. The very first inch or so, not more, and NEVER at the back of the grip frame. The CZ style pistols have an outside grip frame, and an inside slide frame, right? So by "squeezing" the grip, you are minimizing the play.
