Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Yes! You get the exact point of what I want to do! I was just trying to get as close as possible to what major felt like. But my main practice point is tracking the dot and making sure everything reacts neutrally. thanks for the input! I’ll have to email grauffel about his thoughts on “lesser recoiling” training
  2. Oh wow cool i’ll look into sns thanks! I have some aa7 left and a sample pack of 124’s maybe I’ll give that a go too I appreciate it!
  3. I’m currently diving down the other rabbit hole of powder choice for 115gr blue bullets. Everybody has their own brand.... Thanks guys, I found some 135pf velocities of load data with decently normal chamber pressures, which I may be able to play with a bit.
  4. Oops. yupp sorry, it is comp’d, without popple holes, all barrel. All this work and thought that I could make something different, and i’m right back in 115gr minor loads on this site haha. So much for my uniqueness....
  5. Understood, I was trying to get as close as possible within SAAMI specs to be easy on the gun for high volume practice. I’m seeing that the general consensus for minor loads is still 115’s, with the powder choice giving it the change in characteristics that I’m looking for. Thank you for the response! I’ll have to look at the burn rate chart for silhouette and dig around that.
  6. Dude you’re awesome. I appreciate the quick response, and sending me in the right direction. I’m looking at different load data right now between powder charge vs velocity vs chamber pressure, etc. thanks again
  7. Awesome thanks! Yea I figured I’d have to go a little hotter to get the slide speed up, but didn’t know if I should go 115 or 124. Most of what I saw were 115 minor loads with higher powder charges to “work the comp”, or as much as a minor load can. Any idea of slower or faster powders?
  8. Hey all, I looked around for a similar answer to this question, but could not find one. If there’s one you know of, please link it and I’ll kill this thread. So I recently had a non-ported 9mm minor barrel fit to my 38sc gun for bulk practice (to save money and not break parts), and to also screw around with steel matches (just for fun, not my main goal for this question) I was looking through the threads at 9mm minor loads, and found many that greatly answered questions for “match” ammo, shooting super soft and super flat. However, I am looking for a load that will “mimic” (feel, not noise obviously) the way the gun reacts in major. My major match ammo is 124gr Atlanta Arms 38sc, if that helps anyone. I know you don’t have my gun or barrel or what not, but a general direction to start in as far as bullet weights and powder burn rates would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
  9. Shay had a few of them on his display guns at nationals, I like them. You get real deep in the beavertail on them should be a great helper with consistent and high strong hand placement. Texture is also great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. [emoji115]This Just be aware of your thumb with lowered cr speed pouches. I’ve jammed mine a few times since the pouch is close to the bracket on those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I choose them specifically for the double layer models. It’s ultra stiff, and when paired with a good hanger there’s no snag. The front cut height is perfect for getting the muzzle out as quickly as possible, yet enough to positively retain the gun. Can easily match the speed of a race holster, and in my case I exceed it. They inspire confidence in a hard and fast presentation to a target. Best of luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I think the special editions were advertised as a little longer wait time since they build all their guns in batches. Probably had to wait to get all of them sold first, but I could be mistaken. Sorry to hear about your bad experience with them though. Best of luck with whatever gun you end up going with Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Does anyone think that with the advent of CO and PCC, that the less popular divisions need to be gotten rid of? I’ve heard this argument from both sides, and have come around to liking the thought of CO, although with the original 10 round mag rule I thought it was stupid. My thought process right now is that there’s not enough participation in SS, lim 10, and revolver to take the “heat” out of the more popular divisions, so just leave it be for now.

  14. Civilian legal lasers have a mW limit that prevents most injury to eyes. They may experience temporary blindness with extended direct contact. I highly doubt a laser aiming device would put any legal liability on the user with a justified shoot. And even in the case of not having to shoot, the laser would be considered fair warning that if the actions of the assailant were to continue, deadly force would be applied. If you want to temporarily blind someone in an armed conflict, a laser wouldn’t do a good job. A high output light will Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. I think Stoeger is one of the only people to have them in the US so far, if not maybe a few people. He talked about them on his podcast, had his done by Practically Perfect Performance I believe. I’d check them out or call and see if the polymer poses any limitations or significant differences to the steel frames for action jobs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
