I know there are a lot of people bitching about USPSA but I don't really follow the politics. I shoot whatever and wherever I can. Just a pain to follow all the different rules, division etc. The more shooting the better.

I know this thread say's USPSA/IDPA, but does anyone know anything about this APSL? A local club is holding a match under this banner and I have never heard anything about it? Internet is pretty thin on it as well. Thoughts/info

Thanks for the info, I think I'll try them.

Does anyone have any info on the MPA 2011 grips? I have only been able to find one reference on the forum and that stated they were too smooth and lacked grip. The price is much is better than Cheeley or PT. I currently use the Cheeley standard texture on my other gun. Any info appreciated.

What barrel is that?

Awesome thread with lots of information. I'm still confused about a couple of things. I want to build an open gun from my 9mm TS. Why can't I just buy a longer barrel from CZC, thread it and and add a comp? It seems from the thread that the Comp will need clearance to fit inside the dust cover but I can do that myself. The primary role of this gun will be 3-gun open division. The option of using SP-01 slide and stock TS barrel makes sense but I haven't seen a bunch of these for sale. Which comp and where to get it? Thx

I have a Safariland 014 Open holster for a CZ TS that I am using. The holster works well and holds the gun. The problem is the safety catch. it has become very hard to move between positions. I have disassembled and inspected it several times and can find nothing that should be causing the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks, much appreciated.

At the risk of getting yelled at for not checking the threads, I am going to ask if anyone could give me a starting recoil spring weight for a 1911 in 40 S&W. This is a new build (1st in this caliber). P.S I did do a search and came up empty Thanks

Thanks

Has anyone loaded the Hornady 75 grain HPBT at a 2.240 COL? I am looking to load it with 23 gr's of TAC. 2.240 is the max length I need to get it feed reliably from my PMAGS. Lyman manual say's 2.260 COL. I'm not looking for extreme accuracy, I am looking for a load to put the hurt on a MGM spinner target at 100 yds. Will the decreased COL make this round unsafe. Thanks

That all makes sense, thanks for the education.

Ok, I have a probably stupid question but i'll ask anyway. I have never shot open but have been considering it. Currently shoot Limited with a .40 and 3-gun with a 9mm. Reload both. It is easier to make PF with heavier bullets and my guns are more controllable with heavier bullets (147 gr 9mm and 180 gr .40). why doesn't this seem to apply to 9mm major? Why run 115 or 124 9mm?

That's kind of what I thought. Want to buy an AR-10 and would like to use it for both heavy metal and long range local competitions. Probably should just go with .308

Can a 6.5 Creedmore be used in heavy metal?
