FYI - spoke with Tim at Tac Com, and he stated I had the original clips. He is sending new ones out immediately! Great Customer service!!!

I Purchased some Taccom 4 and 8UP Quad Shell Holders...The upper clips (solid plastic) holding the shells are not as tight when I originally purchased them. So now, running during stages I will loose a few shells or they get knocked out of place. My quick fix was some tape which seems to help, but looks bad. Anyone else have the same issues and possibly know a fix? Thanks!

Not sure of the model number, but it's the two toned version, circa 2001 build in .45 w/adj. Bomars. It's a joy to shoot. I am using it in USPSA and local IDPA matches.

Thanks for the info and also great video's - wow. I ordered the DAA's. BTW, Midway has some Discount Promo codes going today.

I did have fun...unfortunately the match I attended I was the only SS. Not sure there is a way to rank myself against the rest. Everyone else (about 30-35 shooters) played in the other divisions

Do you mean they were really hard to fully seat, or they just wouldn't go in at all? I mostly use CCI primers, but just loaded around 800 .45acp LP using Federal, and every so often, I'd run into a case that didn't want to let the primer fully seat. I'd carefully but forcefully make them go in. This was mixed brass, primarily Winchester, RP, Federal, Speer, PMC, etc. I think most of the tough ones were actually Winchester. I haven't measured, but I suspect the Federal primers are just a tiny bit larger than CCI LP. They fail to seat...you will crush the primer and it will still not seat. I never had this problem before, but then I haven't loaded a ton of .45's. Maybe this is the first time I've encountered the CBC brass. I am using the Dillon 650, mixed brass and Tula LP. At some point I may use other primers and see if they seat in the CBC brass.

I've been through almost all the SS pouches for USPSA. The DAA were the best for me. Tried them bullet nose out and have never looked back. Had to drill my own holes in them to set up nose out (they have a video for it). Stoeger sells them now on his website with the holes all drilled so u can easily test reg vs nose out. Yes, it is a toss up on pouches...I have some double stack plastic DAA's that are not being used...are the Single Stacks a little more sturdy?

lol...true. I ordered the comp-tac holster, and will verify with Safariland on the belt width to use on the DAA style belt...1.5 or 1.75. The DAA belts are thick and measure 1.5'sh.

Thanks...Amazon has some, just not 6...Any thoughts on the DAA Single Stack pouches?

*On the Safariland...Will it fit onto a DAA style belt?

I used Side Armor magazine pouches - very nice but they will not fit the thicker DAA belt. I am thinking on Comp-tac paddle holster, and pouches. I have that setup with a glock and love it... With Comp-tac you have both the clip-on and Tek-lok option for their magazine pouches and I am not sure which is best.

I shot my 1st USPSA Single Stack match yesterday. I was using my 5” Government in a Blade Tec Holster, along with my IDPA mag pouches, and I need more pouches - lots more What are the best holsters and magazine pouches used in USPSA Single Stack division? I am also considering another DAA Belt. Thanks, Mike

thanks, I do not see it excluded and it weighs under the limit.

I am planning shooting in the Single Stack Division in USPSA (.45 Major )....Is the Colt - Special Combat Government considered a factory pistol that can be used in USPSA SS Division? I think in IDPA the CDP it is allowed. This pistol is a joy to shoot. Thanks....Mike

I've shot with a few, and most are okay and some shine

Thanks for the info. I have a can of CBC brass set aside, guess how many and it's yours Next batch I may try US primers to see if that fixes this problem. Saying that, Tula's work great in my 1911's and modified Glock's. So much cheaper when you are shooting tons of rounds a month.

I just reloaded 700 plus 45's using a Dillon 650...the only brass I had issues with this time was CBC stamped brass. The large Tula primers would not seat. Anyone else have that issue?

I pick up what I can, and try not to be a brass hound or get in the way. If I shoot a 9 I will try not to pick up say .45's unless I am handing them back to the shooter. If in doubt ask the match director.

George Post, awesome reply and so simple...."Just warm" the ammo...thanks

IDPA and USPSA have 10 round divisions, both are fun. Maybe someday you can change your states laws

Break the ice!

I bought one based off this video -

Call Dillon and also email them...I have the 650 and when I had a similar issue I replaced one of the springs(Primer Indexing Arm I think is the correct name). I know you have a 550 so maybe check or replace. I purchased mine about a year ago along with a spare parts kit, which I have used.

If you have a 1 year old or young child climbing on you - you need to be 100% alert. I personally would not NOT wear.
