  1. Guns are assets that depreciate at different rates. Like exotic cars compared to a Honda. Resale value for an SVI is better than most, if not all competition guns available. Shoot one for a few years and then sell it. Your net cost will probably be a pleasant surprise
  2. LOL. It is over next week. Only 6 episodes in season 8.
  3. i would NOT use the Brass Limcat magwell with a steel grip. Too heavy. It is perfect for a plastic grip. Use the standard Limcat magwell with the PT EVO
  4. Something always changes with acquisitions. Might be better, might be worse but when someone else is In control, change is a certainty
  5. You can: A. pay a premium for 1lb cans of 3n38 B. try N350- lots of 4lb available. You will have a hard time distinguishing this from 3n38 C. try another manufacturer i have opted for plan C
  6. Unless you look really good in yoga pants and a crop top, don’t expect a pallet of ammo to be delivered to your door anytime soon. They’re also not passing out free infinities to the second place M class at your state match. As others have said, you can get a discount here and there but in our sport Even the best of the best are unlikely to be making a living from just shooting. When it trickles down to the mere mortals, it would be unrealistic to think that a significant portion of expenses would be covered by sponsors. Fortunately, dry fire is free
  7. +1 We can land on Jupiter but can't build a durable MRDS with slideride-sized glass and RTS2-sized footprint
  8. I just Chrono'd my first batch of Major Pistol. Can't comment on flatness yet. Recoil felt similar to 3N38 38 Supercomp 5 inch KKM barrel with V6 holes LSI comp 124g Precision Delta JHP at 1.245" CCI SRP 80*F 10.6 g avg FPS 1379 SD 10 PF 171.0 10.8 g avg FPS 1399 SD11 PF 173.5 For comparison, 9.7 g of 3N38 yields a PF of ~170 with my barrel. Doing the math for these loads at 25K rounds/year, one would save ~$250/year using Major Pistol powder instead of 3N38. This does not factor in the deal going on at Powder Valley now b/c they are out of stock
  9. Height 24mm Width 30mm or I could have just looked at the picture above!
  10. Window is 25 x 22.5mm. RTS2 is 25.76 x 22. Waiting for the Sig MAX.

    Query

    If you are using a 650, you need dies, .223 shell plate (13345) and Station 1 locator (13614)
  12. Same. I would also consider using scaled targets--you only have 28'
  13. Could it be PSTG--practical shooting training group?
  14. I'm in for 5#. Can't seem to find any 4# kegs of 3n38 right now. Load data on this forum is scarce for 38SC. Seems like most experience has been with 9Major. Assuming that it is slower than my current 3N38, I will start at the VV charge weight and work upwards
  15. Nice blaster. I think you probably have a V6. The 38SC has V8
  16. I recently checked this...a 3mm TTi pad fit the gauge. I would definitely confirm prior to IPSC nats if that is what you are shooting
  17. Agree but then it is time to change the advertised time line. I am waiting on a gun from a builder that I won’t name. I was told ~4 months. It’s almost 10. Ready to lose my mind Underpromise, Over-deliver
  18. I would recommend using the largest dryfire target that your space allows. Practice on targets that most closely approximate live fire. Using 1/6 targets for drills with movement is not ideal--the distance changes too quickly with limited movement. I use full size targets to simulate 10 yds and closer, 1/2 for 10-20, 1/3 for 20+. Unless your space is very tight, avoid 1/6 targets
  19. Check out the Doubletap Mount. This will fit RTS2, DPP and Romeo 3 There are spacers for different frame widths https://www.doubletapsports.com/doubletap-custom-products/Doubletap-Sports-Compact-Scope-Mount-1911-2011
  20. I have an 8 and a 6. I prefer the 8. I have never had a situation where I wish I had a smaller dot
  21. No, but I shoot Open so the only gauge issue is for the 170mm mag. Use a 4G2 TTi pad with a 140mm mag in Limited
  22. 140mm STI Gen2 tube 11 coil Grams spring and Grams follower TTI 7mm basepad I think I can stuff in 24 of 38SC but easily 23 reloadable With a 170mm tube, 13coil and a 3mm basepad. 29 reloadable
  23. I have been an MBX fan for a while but I am liking the STI gen2 as well. With Grams springs/followers and a TTI basepad, they are significantly cheaper than the MBX
  24. If you are referring to brass getting stuck inside each other, yes, this occurs in limited quantity. In my opinion, the trays are still a lot faster than hand sorting. YMMV
