Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Hello all So my Super Nova bolt latch broke. Less than 1000 rounds through the shotgun and it is down. I've found that there was some factory defect (maybe) but I can't find anywhere that sells this part. No one has it in stock and even Brownelss states it is out of production from the factory. Can anyone point me to a supplier that I can buy this small (but vital) part from. My shotgun is completely out of action and happened on day 1 of the Level 3 IPSC shotgun match. Lucky for me someone's backup shotgun (note to self have a backup) was a Benelli Super Nova. I could find the entire trigger assembly but it seems a bit excessive to buy a $205 - $255 dollar assembly if all I need is a $20 part.
  2. Thanks. Will have to check it out when I finally have the gun. Again appreciate all this information. You've been a great help.
  3. Thank you so much for all this info. I've come from a revolver shooting background and then moved to production and started eating up the competition there. But I'm a jack of all trades and master of none. Just love guns so now trying to have a bit of fun in Standard Division on the side. So long story short capacity isn't my biggest issue. Considering you can only shoot 9 shorts per shooting position (according to the rules) I'll have some spare rounds for misses. I'm so use to if you are not shooting, you are reload that I'm not worried. Is it ideal? Like you said no. But it will do. How do I know (what do I check) to see if it is a modern short mainspring frame.
  4. I've "inherited" a P40 S. From what I've been able to get on the internet this was suppose to be the sporting gun geared towards IPSC/USPSA shooters back in the day. Due to our draconian gun laws I'll only have it in my hands in about 3 - 5 months (if i'm lucky). It has had some work done to it. (See attached picture). The only info I could find so far is from this link forum info I did find So it has been modified already from the factory configuration. I've not shot it but the buddy that gave it to me has shot it and apparently the trigger is amazing. However I want to turn this gun into a Standard Gun division (IPSC) shooter. So I'll remove the comp and since I'm sure this has a fixed front sight that cannot be removed maybe just have it dovetailed and a dawson sight fitted. Maybe just do a novak cut dovetail or something very generic to give me access to loads of options. What I would like to know is what magazines can this run? CZ mags? Also grips, these old tanfo's use CZ 75 grips or is there specific tanfoglio grips i must buy? Also if I do want to replace the trigger and hammer what parts, if any, would be compatible? In short I need to know where to source parts and what modern mods will be compatible with this old bird. If anything if someone could at least just point me to some kind of reference I'll be happy to do the research and work myself. Just need a starting point.
  5. So I can get a good deal on a S&W Performance Center 1911 in 45 (sku: 170343). Good looking pistol and all and of course I can just buy it for having another good looking pistol however I'm in the market for a pistol that I want to use. Currently I'm shooting revolver division in IPSC and ICORE. I run pistols for 3 Gun Nation only. However I'm looking to get into Classic Division (I believe in USPSA it's called Single Stack). I was looking for a 9mm because less recoil, more ammo. I'm already use to that setup for Revolver division shooting a S&W 929. So minor but more ammo. However this deal came around and now it has me doubting if I just shouldn't get it. However the factory slide cuts is what worries me. Does that eliminate it from this division since the rule book states "17. Prohibited modifications / parts are slide lightening cuts, weak hand thumb rests and slide rackers." Do these factory slide cuts fall under this since it is technically not a modification but an factory product?
  6. I run a Versa Max Tactical. The fork needs welding etc. etc. If my options are between those two guns (Beretta 1301 and the VM Competition Tactical) I would so go for the VM Competition Tactical. No work needed. Well if you want to open the loading port more by all means go for it. Other than that it beats the Beretta with capacity. No need to weld the lifter since it is the competition lifter that isn't forked. Yes, it is heavier than a M2 but that bit of weight fights recoil. My VM Tactical handles recoil so much better than the M2. Runs reliably with 24gr loads without me having to do a thing. Have you had some shotgun experience yet? Like in are you use to a certain manual of arms? If so the Beretta 1301 might throw you since the safety isn't were other shotguns' safety sits. Not a big deal but until you are use to it, it will cost you. Don't get me wrong. Next semi auto on the to buy list is a Beretta 1301 but if these two are my option I would definitely go with the Versa Max.
