  1. I’ll try and remember to post a picture in this thread later. It might be close, but I call it a fit.
  2. The short answer is yes to mag compatibility since the PDP polymer and Steel Frame both use the same mag. The difference is the base pad and whether your steel frame has a mag well or not. As for mag pouches, my finding is similar to what YVK mentioned; CZ mag pouches work very well with Walther mags. Of course, mag pouches made for Canik’s will likely work since the mags are darn near copies of Walther’s.
  3. I seem to recall that N320 is more temperature-sensitive than Sport Pistol. Since most of my shooting is in the Florida Panhandle, our temperature swings typically aren't very drastic so I don't see much variance on the chrono. With 5" KKM barrel in a Sig 320 X5, I'm only using 4.0 grains of Sport Pistol to hit 132 power factor wth a 124gran match winner loaded to 1.10" Using a Walther PDP Match SF with a 5" barrel, I can use 3.5 grains of Sport Pistol with a 147 match winner to hit 139 power factor. Sounds "high" for a gamer load, but the PDP Steel Frame groups and shoots VERY well with it.
  4. I'm curious if there have been any official words regarding the provisional Limited Optics division. How about any good rumors?
  5. I'm still working my way through the Walther ecosystem. The picture of the pistol on the MBX website looks like a PPQ. Is there mag compatibility between the PPQ/Q(whatever) and the PDP? More specifically, will the MBX magazine work in the full-size PDP Match Steel Frame? https://mbxextreme.com/index.php?page=Magazines_Optic_Walther Could be a good option while we wait for other vendors to catch up with mag wells and extensions for this model. Yes, I know ZR Tactical makes an extension that works with the OEM mag well. I have one.. I also know that I will lose those tiny screws when i have to take the mag apart to clean it as many of the places I attend matches have dirt/clay/sand in the bays.
  6. Cmore will make a plate. Per an email exchange i had with someone at Cmore; If you send them the slide, they will prototype a plate and give you the prototype. It will be non-anodized aluminum. But at least you'll have a plate - before anyone else

    PDP and R3max

    Going to Necro this thread with info I have learned. The CMORE RTS2 uses the same plate as the R3 Max/XL which has the same footprint as the FP Alpha 3. With that - the folks at CMORE will make a prototype plate for your pistol if you send them the slide. According to the email, it will be an unfinished plate constructed from aluminum. So, not a mass-produced option, but an option nonetheless...
  8. I'm looking for feedback on the CMMG Resolute MkGS PCC. What did you like? not like? change immediately?
  9. I'm looking for feedback from anyone that's tried running the new 226 X5 with an optic. Direct mount or with an adapter plate - either/or. What do you like? what do you hate? what holster did you find? did you decide it was a dead end or is it your weekend warrior?

    Pointman "9"

    Thanks for the info! I tried to send them an email but it bounced as undeliverable. I was going to guess .04 or .06 but after my experience with Wilson Combat and the weird size they use (that I can only find on their website) I figured I'd ask around first. Thanks again!

    Pointman "9"

    I guess "technically" it's a Dan Wesson, but i put this here since they fly under the CZ flag. Does anyone know the size of the fiber rod in the front sight of the Pointman 9?
  12. I've recently rekindled my interest in CDP and am going through my books to find a load to (re)start with. I picked up some of the Blue Bullets 200gr SWC. I have some data for Clays but my trip to the range with some test loads on the labradar put the numbers just under the 165 power factor. I'm guessing Clays is very temperature sensitive - it was a 90*F day with pretty high Humidity. - typical day in the NW Florida panhandle. Back to the drawing board; I loaded up a few using the Wilson Load with 4.5grains of N310. Labradar numbers shows ~900 fps. Mixed range brass and Federal large pistol primers. I had outstanding results with Shooters World Clean Shot, which The Internet says is a 1:1 with AA#2. 4.6gr Cleanshot came across the ProChrono with a 10 shot average of 845 and SD of 6. When i tested this load, i had my buddies Ransom rest with me. I tested my old standby load with Clays and the Cleanshot load I listed here. Pretty sure i know what load i'm taking to the Kentucky Classic
  13. So I understand that Cleanshot is "reverse temperature sensitive". Which I take to mean, as the temperature rises, the velocity will drop. So, generally speaking, a work-up done in the summer will have lower numbers than the same load's performance in the winter.
  14. I've been working up a load with the 135gr RMR Matchwinner using Cleanshot. My experience with Cleanshot; it seems to produce much lower velocities than other folks are reporting. Yes, I understand barrel length and OAL have a lot to do with that. And I've also lost confidence in my chronograph. So, I ordered a Labradar unit from Midsouth. I'm hoping it comes in pretty soon. When it does, i'll post updates here. In the meantime... RMR 135MW @ 1.10OAL with 4.31gr Cleanshot Test pistol: 3.9" Sig 320 AXG Legion 10 shots Min: 941 Max: 970 Spread:29 Average: 954 SD: 8 Average Power Factor: 128 1- 956 fp/s 2- 950 fp/s 3- 953 fp/s 4- 962 fp/s 5- 947 fp/s 6- 957 fp/s 7- 961 fp/s 8- 970 fp/s 9- 941 fp/s 10-951 fp/s
  15. I'm going to build up a few hundred rounds of 9mm with 135 Match Winners from RMR. I plan to use Shooters World "Clean Shot" powder which i understand is pretty much a 1:1 with Accurate #2. I've read that the powder is "reverse temperature sensitive" Can someone help me understand what that means? If you have any chrono data from test loads shot in "hot" and "cold" environments that would be very helpful; I'd like to see the numbers.
  16. I managed to get my 320 to fail. I did some laundry and left a small strip of pasters in the pocket of my shorts. next match comes around and I’m wearing those shorts. Unbeknownst to me, in the small pocket where I stash my starter mag was the remnants of that strip of pasters. Some of the clumps of paper migrated into the magazine between the 2nd and 3rd round. Far enough down the magazine that I didn’t see it when I put it in the gun. First and second round fired just fine but number three was a total stoppage. Many lessons were learned that day
  17. I haven't sent any in yet. I plan to do that soon.
  18. I posted this over in Sig Talk forum. I purchased a 320 Max a couple of weeks back. The Romeo3 Max looks to have gotten an 'update' on the buttons... There's a thread in the Open forums about a few people having issues with the dimmer button. I have 4 of these optics on other match/practice guns and they ALL have issues with the buttons. Either they don't register on the first/second press or they require a LOT of force in order to register... The 'new' buttons are flush and don't offer the tactile sound/feel when pressed. The pistol case is dated Jan of 2023. Old (REV1) on the left and new (REV2) on the right.
  19. I'm just getting into PCC myself so I wanted to put together a load. I'm loading for a 16" Sig MPX. My current handgun load (124JHP and Sport Pistol) certainly ran the gun but the consistency wasn't great; producing a 25-yard group size of about 3-4 inches. I made a load with some 115gr FMJ and Clean Shot. I feel this load produced a more predictable dot movement and certainly yielded a much better group size at 25 yards, coming in around 2 inches. The Clean shot load is a LOT cleaner, which matters more in the MPX because of the piston system.
  20. If you need more data to show how important it is to test EVERY barrel you're going to go to a major match with... I have 4 KKM barrels for my SIg 320 Legions. Each will post slightly different Average Velocity, Extreme Spread, and Standard Deviation. Even though they are the "same" barrel. Probably manufactured within a close timeframe of one another since I ordered (and received) all four in the same internet order from KKM.
  21. Didn't find an ideal thread for this, and it doesn't have to be caliber specific. Regardless of the caliber, there's typically more than one bullet weight brought to the line. Looking at USPSA CO Nationals, everything from 115gr to 160gr was used. Asking "why do you shoot a xxx grain bullet?" the answers are usually "softer shooting" or "faster slide". How do you get to that conclusion? What tests do you conduct to determine WHICH load you like best? Did you start your tests from the beginning when you made other changes (higher/lower recoil spring) to the gun?
  22. I went through this with my own X5 Legions. I landed on the middle spring and short bushing. It took quite a bit of time and ammo to make a decision. I did things like shoot doubles and marking where the 2nd shot landed. Running the plate rack helped with dot tracking.
  23. If you check three different load manuals, you'll probably see three different TRIM TO lengths. I went down a pretty deep rabbit hole trying to troubleshoot an issue where my ammo wouldn't allow the slide to lock into battery with a Bar-Sto barrel. I sampled/measured about 200 pieces of brass after they were sized and grouped them based on their length. The next step was to try and find a crimp that applied the "best" crimp based on the length of the brass going into the crimp die. That would be great IF every piece of brass also had the same case wall thickness. Guess what? They don't. So IF you're going to trim brass, I think you also need to have the same head-stamp to give yourself the best chance of getting the results you're actually looking for.
  24. I was running the blue bullets 135TC with 3.5gr of Sport Pistol. Fantastic load. I want to say the OAL of 1.10 worked great for most pistols but of course YMMV
