[SP01 shadow custom - light strikes]

I use a CGW 11.5 mainspring and have never had a light strike on the primers, BUT I use nothing but Federal primers and change the mainspring 2 a year.

[Temp sensitivity N320?]

My experience with 320-310 is it pretty much stays the same year round. Only wish it was easier to find these days

[With some claasifiers being removed?]

It took me awhile but I had to voice my opinion:

To all concerned,

I am writing this letter to voice my displeasure as a paying member of USPSA in the recent string of decisions made by the organization's leadership. In my opinion these arbitrary decisions were misguided and poorly conceived and executed.

It would be very easy for me to say I am not a revolver shooter, so I don't care what decisions are made pertaining to that division as long as those decisions only affect those within the division. But unfortunately, as becomes more evident every day, that is not the case. When the revolver rules were changed to allow 8 shot minor it set into motion a ripple effect that ultimately resulted in the "retirement" of a significant number of classifiers. Many of those classifiers were tried and true tests that have endured for years. But more importantly many were of the brand new 13 series which promised to inject much needed enhancements into the classification system. Locally we were looking forward to working our way through the new classifiers this coming year.

I feel the best interest of the membership at large has been cast aside in the interest of appeasing the relatively minor number of revolver shooters in USPSA. I use the word minor to describe what is typically one shooter at any given match in my local area. Occasionally a few will sign up to shoot a match but those instances are rare. The matches I frequent on a monthly basis typically consist of 50 or more shooters so you can see that one or two revolver shooters is indeed a very small percentage.

To make matters even worse, not all revolver shooters were even in favor of making the change to the rules in their division. In essence this makes the number of revolver shooters who wanted the rules change statistically insignificant.

I would like to strongly urge all USPSA leadership to aggressively work on a solution to the problems these decisions created in the classification system. The goal of such a solution should be to reinstate the retired classifiers immediately. This could easily be done with only minimal alterations to the WSB's that would create inequity among the revolvers of different types. Simply requiring reloads for revolver shooters is one easy fix. Or since those who made the rule change thought it would put the two types of revolvers on equal ground with minor and MAJOR scoring, let revolvers shoot head to head. Of course, that was not well thought out and would result in significant advantages to the 8 shot revolvers but it would be much more fair to the overwhelming majority of the members of USPSA.

VERY well said Sir

[Odd problem with a barrel]

As long as it shoots something you normally use well, I'd just use it until it quits doing what you want and then I'd get a new barrel.

Exactly

[Production Irons and Production Optics *FIXED*]

I know I'm old school, but I think optic production is getting away from the intended purpose of production.

[550b .40 S&W issues. HELP!]

Did you remember to tighten the setscrew for your shell plate bolt that goes into the side of the ram?

Thats what I was thinking

[Best place to buy c-more slide ride]

Go to the battery store and buy a few "extra", you will never know when you'll need them

[Accidentally engaging safeties]

Had the same problem, get the short safteys problem solved

[New Division Idea]

I really don't see how this could work

[premature slidelock on last round]

Check to make sure the slide stop isnt hitting the follower

[For those that remember Calvin....]

True classic's

[New Division Idea]

Personally I like production and the way it's set up with 10 rounds. If you want more rounds that's what Limited is for

[Cerakote in St. Louis, Mo]

I know this isn't the St. Louis area but I've had 2 handguns done by Accu-Kote in Claremore Okla. Both guns turned out very nice,PM me and I'll give you email and phone numbers if your interested.

[Will this have any affect?]

I have found that the 11.5 spring will light CCI and Winchester primers until you get to around 3-400 rounds then it gets kind of iffy. Federal primers go boom every time.

[Grips]

Are they as thin as the alum. grips?

[Trigger return spring]

I have all CGW springs in my gun, change them once a year and have never had a problem.

[Classifiers and 6/8 shot]

So we punish all the other divisions because the smallest division has a new rule?

I vote uspsa collects more data before doing anything. You could be fixing a problem that doesn't actually cause an issue.

I agree 100%

[Is N320 being discontinued]

I think all powders have been discontinued!

And primers

[Holster for SP01 shadow]

Never tried the ghost but tried the Double Alpha and went back to the bladetech

[Tuned 2011 mags]

Only way to go is Brazos, all mine hold 20 reloadable and work all the time

[Hammer goes halfcock for top IPSC shooter. Shooting too fast?]

+1 on Matt said, this makes more sense

[Thicker CZ 75 Grips?]

I had the same problem till I got the walnut grips from CZ USA, they are thicker and fit my hands great. But they are on back order.

[STI Edge .40 Recoil spring help]

Tried them all and like Sprinco recoils springs the best. They are consistent and seem to last longer.

Ive tried ISMI and Wolfe but still keep coming back to the Springco 12# for the 40
