My thoughts exactly. I used to reload on a single stage press. I reloaded 9mm, 45 ACP, 308 Win, and 7mm Mag. Sometimes it became a pain in the butt. I finally broke down shop and just started buying ammo. Maybe when I started to shoot limited, I will get into reloading.

I decided that as long as I can get ammo for $3.86/box of 50, I will just keep buying ammo. I will just budget for 2000 rounds of ammo per month for practice and matches. I did the math. To get started reloading with the press, bullets, primers, powder, and brass, I could buy 5000 rounds of ammo. As long as I am shooting my Glock 17, I will just continue to buy ammo. I can't wait to get back to the states and start shooting again. Glock 17w

Right now I am setting my budget to do a lot of things when I get back to the states. Everything from going on a 7 day cruise, buying a $1000 Rottweiler, Going to pistol training with Frank Garcia, and getting ready to jump back into shooting hot and heavy. I have hit a dilemma. I shoot a Glock 17 for IDPA and want to shoot more in USPSA when I get back. USPSA is my focus. IDPA will be secondary. I normally shoot CCI Blazer 9mm or Winchester White Box. I can get CCI Blazer from Academy Sporting Goods for $3.86 a box of 50. The Winchester costed $11.00 for a box of 100 from Walmart. Cheap ammo that functions very well in my Glock. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to reload over having to worry about buying ammo whenever I wanted to go practice or shoot a match. I will be shooting my Glock 17 for a while until I get accustomed to USPSA. I want to venture into limited eventually but not right away. If I buy a Dillion Square Deal Reloader and will be able to crank out lot of ammo, would it come out to be cheaper in the long run or should I just continue to shoot CCI Blazer? I think the CCI Blazer is at 132 PF. I am not sure what the Winchester White Box is. I appreciate your opinions and advice. Thanks. Glock17w

I am no Master class shooter but I try to break down each mechanic of my shooting. I realize that when I can't move my trigger finger as fast as I want, I am tensing with my right hand too much. When I relax my right hand, I tend to go much faster. Another thing I have realized when it comes to shooting is when I think about something while doing it, I tend to go slower. Let your subconscious mind take over your shooting. You will shoot better and faster I think. Get away from the timer for a little bit and just work on your trigger speed through relaxed shooting. After you do that enough times, go back to the timer and see if your splits decrease. My 2 cents. Glock17w

I am just wondering if the Comp-Tac Locking Paddle Holster is legal or illegal for use in IDPA? I haven't shot IDPA since December 2004 and probably will not get to shoot it until I come home in December 2005. If it is not legal, then does anyone know of any paddle holsters that are legal for use in IDPA? Thanks for your time.

I have thought long and hard about buying a new pistol. I think I will go with not buying a pistol for limited class. I am in Korea until Jan 2007 where there are no pistol ranges to shoot on and the only time I get to shoot is to qualify with the M9 Beretta. Korea has very strict gun laws. I think I will just get back into shooting when I come back. I want to compete in both USPSA and IDPA. Since I will be new to USPSA, I will get good at shooting my Glock 17 in Production and not buy a new pistol to shoot in Limited. Instead of buying a new pistol for Limited class, I will attend a 3 day course at Universal Shooting Academy with Frank Garcia. I think the money spent there will help me more than buying a new pistol. I do plan on putting a Vanek Trigger with the Custom Firing Pin Safety on my Glock 17. I already have the Dawson Optic Sights. I will get the Tungsten Guide Rod with the 13lb Recoil Spring to shoot USPSA and put the stock spring back in to shoot IDPA. I will make up my goals sheet while I am here to get my mind right when I come back to the states. I am reading plenty of books on shooting and watching videos while I am in Korea. I have the Steve Anderson Dry Fire book, Lenny Bassman book on the mental aspects of shooting, and Saul Kircsh book to read. I have already read Brian Enos' book and will probably re-read it while I am here. I have the Matt Burkett videos to look at. Once I get accustomed to shooting USPSA, I will buy a new pistol for Limited Class. I have been checking out Brazos, Dawson, and Benny Hill for a Limited Class pistol when the time is right to get one. If anyone knows anymore things I can do without a pistol to get prepared for shooting when I get back, please let me know. Also be thankful that you can shoot your pistols anytime you want to in the States. In Korea, most people have never shot a gun in their life. I have some Koreans ask me about shooting. They always ask if I shoot real bullets out of my guns. Until next time; Glock 17w from Seoul, Korea.

I have been reading several posts in the Glock Forum. I am not sure if this post should be in the Glock Forum or not but it has to do with setting up a Limited Gun. I have been reading that more people prefer the feeling and the quickness and smoothness of a G17 or G22 over the G34 and G35. I wanted to get some input on what everyone thought about using a G22 rather than a G35 for limited pistol. I own a Glock 17 and like the way it feels and the way it runs. Do you think that a G22 would run a little faster and smoother than a G35? My setup would be G22 or G35 Vanek Trigger Brass Magwell Tungsten Guide Rod 15 Lb Spring Dawson Sights Let me know what you think about the G22 or G35.

Hello all, I had some questions about accesorizing a limited gun. Since I have been shooting Glocks I want to stick with Glocks. I like the way they feel in my hands. Here is what I vision: Glock 35, 40 S&W Vanek Trigger Awesome Dawson Front and Rear Sights Magwell - what kind of magwell would you recommend? What kind of basepads would I have to put on the magazines? Skateboard Tape on the Grip Should I get a steel guide rod or tungsten guide rod or keep Glock OEM? If I get a different guide rod, then what weight of the spring should be installed? Look forward to seeing what you have to say. Thanks. Glock17w
