    I have no read that the Timney trigger has issues with the EPC-9. Where did you read this?

     

    It's on their website. The bridge for the trigger is too big to fit in the EPC-9. Some have modified it to fit using a belt sander. I'm thinking of going with the CMC trigger for my build.

  2. Had another one last night. Picked up a CZ Tactical Sport off of here in January and put 150 rounds through it, adjusted the trigger, and put it away. Last night the buzzer went off and several shots failed to reset the trigger. Took 1/2 turn out of pre and overtravel screws and all better.

  3. I received the magwell and grips from aandabooks. Got them installed and what a difference. I'll be picking up a few Dremel items and taking my time blending the magwell to the frame, and polishing up the inside of the magwell. CZC was closed for SHOT so I'll be ordering extended basepads and fiber optic front sight this week.

  4. Hoping to pick one of these up myself in the very near future for limited major.
     
    I believe there's a full setup for sale in the classifieds. I'm liking it so far.

  5. You won't need 10 magazines in Limited.  I have 5 and it's one more than I've ever needed even on 60 round stages.  I recommend spending that money on other things.  You might like having an adjustable rear sight, or fancy schmancy holster a whole lot more than mags you won't use.  
    10 would be the final goal just to reduce time loading mags during training. I'll get up to 5 to start but won't be sacrificing usability on the gun to have more magazines.

  6. I've been shooting one for years, and I love it. You'll need to blend the CZC magwell. I recommend a 9 or 10 lb recoil spring, and leave the hammer spring alone, dont drop it down in weight. Adjust the trigger to get the take up and over travel you want. The giant czc safety is awesome, but you'll need to trim it to your liking. The factory safety does dig into my support hand a bit during dry fire, but I've never dropped a mag or noticed it during a match. You can get shortened or extended reach aluminum triggers from CZ. The CZC base pads are the only ones to get. You should be able to cram in 21 rounds from the get go. You might want to grind on the trigger guard to make it more comfortable for your strong hand middle finger.

    If it fits your hands, then you have a pistol that's about as good as it gets. I really dont think I'd gain a thing by switching to the most expensive 2011.

    Thanks to aandabooks I have a magwell and thin grips coming. I will be blending it once I get it installed. I will also be ordering the fiber optic front sight and extended basepads from czc here shortly and probably ordering a few magazines per paycheck until I get up to 10 or so.

  7. Put 150 rounds through her today. Observations: This thing is wicked accurate and doubles at 5 and 7 yards were quick and accurate but tracking the black sight in an indoor range was darn near impossible. The mag release is well checkered much to the dismay of the meaty part of my support hand during recoil. Overall, I think with a fiber optic front sight and maybe a different mag release it will be good enough for now but I'll probably just add extended basepads, a magwell, and lok grips while I'm at it.

  8. Nice, check out Armory Craft also for the metal grips, and Cajun Gun Works for the recoil springs. Love my TS they just run out of the box.
    I've been looking just about everywhere comparing.

  9. I've been shooting my G17 in limited basically since I started in USPSA and have dabbled in revolver. Found this for a good price locally and picked it up.17183863446849bf91a4f07761f84434.jpg

  10. I went 627 to try Revo. Only shot 1 steel match with it but I've carried it hiking, hunted with it, and it stays on the nightstand. I went 627 over 929 because if I decided not to shoot revo, a 9mm large framed revolver is useless to me.

  11. I got a speedbeez holster, TK moonclips, Starline Short Colt brass, and North Mountain moonclip holder. I run the same charge and powder for bullet weight as my 9mm and like that combo. In an N-Frame it just soaks up recoil.

  12. I got one after leaving Weld County USPSA. No idea how much I've put through it but making a sure mess in the basement for the shopvac to pick up. Here are my initial pros and cons

     

    Pros: 

    -Aesthetics and controls very similar to real steel.

    -Accurate, the thing hammers at short range. I haven't tested past 5 yards.

    -Cheap practice at home

     

    Cons I will list in order:

    - Doesn't fit in my Safariland Holster. The frame under the muzzle is taller and I suspect this is the culprit. It will get about halfway in but that's it.

    - Magazines are expensive ($45 each), but this will be offset.

    - Recoil, with correct form, there is very little muzzle rise. I expected this of course and will have to use live fire to confirm results.

     

    Overall I like it for general fun training as I'm fairly new in the sport but I doubt I'll be able to reach Airsoft Splits (.14-.16 Alphas) with Real Steel anytime soon. What I really want it to help me with is my draw to first shot. When I first got the gun I was around 1.8 draws but have gotten down to about 1.2 consistently. I use the Splits App on android to do my timing.

  13. Firewood,

     

    Thanks for the advice. I am still looking at holster options. I think a DAA Racer or Race Master may come in the future but not now. The problem is that most 4" holsters are in IDPA Style. I don't think a 5" speed holster will fit my 4" gun. I could cut down the sight channel on an IDPA Holster to allow a faster draw as well and be on my own if it doesn't work. I may post a WTB ad as well.

     

    For moon clips, I'll probably order 50 and be done with it, then make dowel towers for an ammo can for storage once loaded and again when shot. I made a loader out of a piece of scrap 1x4, a piece of 1" aluminum flat bar, some bolts, and a washer with a flange bolt on top (~$15). I also made a demooner out of an 8" copper pressure chamber with a notch cut to engage the moon clip (~$5). Both work pretty slick.

     

    On the Glock, I have shot USPSA and have a Safariland holster I bought from Bruce Braxton (Braxton1) when he worked on my trigger. I have probably close to 10k rounds through it. Not much to most standards but much more experience with it. I will eventually get the smith slicked up but this isn't a dedicated competition gun. I bought it to shoot in competition with the ability to carry it on hunting/camping adventures and full power .357s.

     

    Again, thanks for the advice, I'm new to D/A Revolvers for competition and need all the help I can get.

    not sure i want to try a 'fist' challenge...  ahaha

     

    but yeah great shooting for your first time at this!!  it's fun.  also give uspsa a try if you haven't already, fast shooting, AND you get to run around with a gun.

    Edited, I wouldn't want to try that either. I've shot USPSA as well. Only local weeknight matches but it is a good time. Tried a 3-Gun match as well this spring but a hectic schedule and focus on High Power made that the only one.
