I use 7.2 and a 124PD in my Limcat with 6 holes and makes about 174PF, that same load in my friends CK was 178PF. The KKM barrels are pretty fast.

I have 2 DPP, both frame mounted on open guns. One for about a year the other about 18 months. I have had no issues of any kind with these sights, I think I changed the battery in the older of the 2 but honestly don't remember. Honestly if we could merge the RTS2 and DPP together we could have the best thing on the market, there are features of both that I like. RTS2 brightness adjustment, and glass shape. DPP battery compartment, sight adjustment. Can't we have it all?

How many popple holes does it have? And are they angled back?

Sarge, is correct I have tried steel but I prefer a lighter gun. I also like a very aggresive grip and that is why I was considering a PT with aggressive texture. I really was wanting to know from thise who tried it how they held up.

Thanks Sarge, I like the new Cheely grip. I would prefer to stay with the PT because its the same shape and texture.

After doing some searching I found a few threads where people had put the Aluminum grips on there guns, Just wondering how they have held up. I am thinking about putting them on my open guns but worry about them cracking. I have the PT aggressive steel on my Limited guns and like them I just don't want to add that much weight to my open guns.

I had the chance to shoot a friends gun with the E2 grip on it. Its a nice grip, but for those of us who are used to the aggressive PT or SVI grips it may not be enough. I would say if it provides a similar level of grip to the standard texture PT grips.

Having had both, I will say they both have features I like. RTS2 wins for ease of adjustment, shape of the glass, and dot clarity. DPP wins battery life, ease of adjustment, and battery compartment. The RTS2 was my first microdot and I liked it until it quit on me during a stage at a major match. It was a V4 and cmore said they could not duplicate the issue. They did replace it though. It could have been low battery but I had no indication of such it just quit. Switched to the DPP and have not had a problem with it in the 2 years I have had it. The reliability to me is the most important feature.

What does your dot movement look like? No need to load longer or increase powder if the dot tracking is good. I have been running 8.2gr. HS6 with a MG 121 at 1.160", I like this COAL because I can use it in mags with or without spacers. When I watch close I see the dot make a small circle, I think last time I tested this load was about 168-169PF in my gun.

Definitely try it, shooting limited to start and not buying new gear is solid advice.

Interesting, my M&P shoots perfectly with 124s, but about 2.5" high with 147s.

I am sure it depends on your ammo choice, I agree the gun is very cool.

Very nice, wish they would put adjustable rear sight on them.

I load 9 major on one of my LNLs and 40 on the other, I probably loaded 25K 9mm last year, I have loaded about 7K this year so far which is why I am confident in the machine. My older press probably has close to 100K on it, like I said before a 1050 is a different animal and has some great features. The swage station alone is almost worth it. A bunch of my buddies have 1050s and they are completely happy, the only complaint I have heard is cost both initial and to change calibers and even with that said I haven't heard anyone say they regret buying one.

I don't know your friends, but its simply not that hard to keep a LNL running if it was I would not have them. I am not going to say they are better than a 650 but I do think they have some advantages. The LNL index is smoother, and the powder measure I think is better. The effort to change calibers is pretty minimal but there usually is some adjustment required after a change. The case feeder on the 650 is better from what I have seen but the Hornady does work it is the part that does require some tweaks to make it work right. As far as CS goes I would not know as I have not needed them. I have loaded thousands of rounds on the LNL without issue, I usually clean it off every 10-12k but that's about it. Edit to add: LNL nor 650 compare to a 1050, 1050 is whole other class.

I have 2 LNLs and both work very well, I did add a lock washer to help stop the bolt from coming loose on the shell plate. As mentioned above the pawls adjustments are very small.

My closest match is about an hour, most I go to are about 2.5. I think about 3.5 is as far as I have gone for a local match but luckily I wasn't driving.

I have 2 of them, I have had zero issues with either. I started using them about a year and a half ago, battery life has been outstanding for me.

9mm, both of my 170s will hold 30 so I can start a stage with 31, I also have a 155mm and it will hold 27. I usually don't load 30 in the 170 unless I feel I need the insurance. I will say I bought my magazines a couple of years ago, I don't know if there is a difference between them and the new ones.

You have to use them for a while, once the spring sets you should get 30. I have 2 and so do friends of mine and we all can get 30 in a 170. I do have to use a loader to get the last round in.

It's a good match, usually 4 stages plus a classifier.

What Richmond match? GRB USPSA at Cavalier is on Saturday the 19th, this is the only USPSA in Richmond.

I don't disagree with CHA-LEE about the shoes being stiff, it took me about 3 or4 times wearing them to get to the point I felt them to be comfortable. I wear a size 12 4E in New Balance shoes and have to disagree on the width aspect, these are the only trail running style shoes I have found that will work for me, I did go up to a 12.5 and that may be why I don't have the same issues. I like the fact that the rubber on the bottom is harder, they should last longer. If I need a shoe for concrete any number of suitable alternatives are available, but for the best traction I have found for most outdoor surfaces the Hellcats work for me.

That is a nice working gun! Do you carry it in a leather or Kydex holster?
