Welcome to the forum, Ken!

Not as much as I should. SHO much more often than WHO. I try to get in WHO practice 15-20 shots every few weeks, but this often ends up being 15-20 shots per month.

Welcome to the forum, Cooperwannabe!

Glad to hear you got it squared away.

Maybe too much detent spring pressure? Try removing the shell plate and detent ball bearing. Remove the spring under the detent ball and clip a wee bit off at a time until you get nice smooth function without an abrupt jump to the detent.

Makes sense. It's good to have options. Think I'll like the dot with 20 moa circle. I already know I like the dot and 32 moa circle. Will probably get one when I see one actually for sale.

I like the alarm and would miss having it. Take the battery out and clean everything with electronics cleaner. Let it dry, add fresh (Energizer - because Duracell sux) battery and you will likely be back in business. Failing that...call Blue.

Another vote for Sport Pistol. Been running SP with several brands (ACME, Bayou, Blue, BBI, Eggleston) of 9mm and 40S&W coated. Good fill, speeds as expected, minimal burned wire smell, decent accuracy....shoots great.

Vudoo makes some very nice, accurate rifles. I'm inclined to believe with the QC they have in place that they will also make an excellent 1911. Electron beam welding is amazing...expensive, but amazing. I will probably just stick with the old school, low tech 1911's I currently have though.

Pro Grip works nicely and I can always find it. Don't leave the bottle in a hot car though.

Switch dots on prior to holster/gear up and switch off at end of event/session. I replace all batteries in the late fall, even if still good. I worry a bit about a leaky cell killing optics. Carrying spare batteries is the new reality, but seasons are short up here.

Unfortunately, generally true. Not much pride left out there.

Very nice indeed. Congrats!

Interested to know as well.

Using all mixed brass. Currently 2 per 300 will not case gauge, but a high percentage of these plunk test fine. I know this will rile some folks, but adding a FCD (properly set) on station 5 has improved this from the previous ~6 per 300. The loads that fail to case gauge get set aside for practice use.

Not thinking you will get proper ejection with 115gr with much <5.0gr CFE using factory recoil springs. Maybe test 4.8gr, 5.0gr and 5.2gr and see.

To revisit this thread, my thoughts are that there is no right or wrong for this. Try it out and see. Do whatever works for you and your mitts on the pistol that you happen to be shooting. Just do it in a controlled, repeatable way. Be consistent.

Coated lead works well in the vast majority of factory Glock barrels. Using Hi-Tek coated. Coat your stock and shoot it up.

Bummer. Very sorry to hear about your struggles, Rowdy. Thinking the book idea could be good. A different way to help shooters that could benefit many. For participation, perhaps delve more into precision rifle events and archery.

Clean the contact and ensure it is maintaining tension. Swap to a fresh decent full output battery. Some of the bulk coin cells I've ordered in the past were caca. Great price, but 1/3 of them were worthless, so not a good deal at all. If issue continues, send it back home.

Welcome to you, Ariel!

Hope you have plenty of bench space. Welcome back, Tom!

I hooked my support index finger on the trigger guard as a habit back in the day when shooting a BHP. Still do it. Modified slightly by handgun though. Depending on the handgun I sometimes go a touch lower on the trigger guard instead of up high - like on G34/35. It just happens, I don't even think about it.
