  1. IIFYM + ~1.5 gallons of water a day
  2. OP here, I wanted to follow up incase anyone was interested, or somebody finds this thread by googling. I decided to have my barrel throated/reamed by patriot defense and I am pleased with the results. I had received a 500 bullet certificate for the precision bullets so I felt that the expense of the service was justified. I have not noticed diminished accuracy or any other issues with my barrel. Ultimately I decided not to use precision bullets. Precision specially advises against titegroup usage and I have a surplus of titegroup. I opted for Acme 147's instead, despite them being slightly more expensive.
  3. I also experienced this problem twice [on one stage during a match] with my Mac-gar AFC mags with shock bottle base pads. I had to grab the slide and sling-shot it as the slide stop wouldn't budge. The stage was some kind of steel 3-gun stage repurposed for USPSA and my stage plans dictated I shoot the gun dry and then move. Otherwise I would have to go 1-for-1 on the center position.
  4. Where is the class? In Florida? I may be interested if it's not full...
  5. Enlightening Thank you for another in-depth explanation.
  6. I ultimately decided to send my barrel to patriot defense. The 500 precision bullets were from a certificate I was given, so I feel as though I am coming out ahead.
  7. The precision bullet length is .66. For those curious, I will attach a comparison of a bayou 147 fp to at the 147 precision bullet. I ordered 250 135gr cone shaped projectiles from Blue Bullets and 1k 115gr fmj from my friend(I'm not crazy about 115gr, but I'm getting them for $.043/per projectile). I will compare them to my 147gr loads once I dial in the 115 & 135 to ~130pf. Then I'll shoot them in a 4 stage Tuesday mini match at my club.
  8. Thanks everyone for your helpful responses everyone. IDescribe, I especially appreciate your detailed responses. I will post again tonight with the bullet's length and a proper follow up post.
  9. I received 500 of these(http://www.precisionbullets.com/store.html) in 147gr. I loaded some to 1.135-1.147, they passed my Lyman gauge but got stuck in the rifling of my barrel. I reduced the oal length to the point at which they would drop and spin in the barrel. This turned out to be around 1.08. I believe this is due to the profile of the bullet, specifically the width near the case mouth extending towards the nose. My bayou and xtreme bullets loads both work fine in this barrel. I'm very new to CZ so any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Shadow 2 Legal Date

    That's good to hear. Hopefully the remaining batches will be delivered in the coming weeks.
  12. Volusia is about 2 hours south-east of me. Never been, as I'm not really willing to drive more than 40min for a club match. I typically shoot at ShootGTR's Tuesday night matches. Although I haven't shot in about 1.5 months.
  13. Where are you shooting at? Goodluck at your first USPSA match!

    New VP9 compact !!

    I wish they'd make a 9 the size of the 43 or shield
  15. I like to stick to Stoeger's books. I find if I start looking at too much content from different guys I lose focus. Read practical pistol, then start working out of the dry fire book and skills and drills. You'll need a shot timer too.

    Wasn't the stock II added to the list in 2013(I could be wrong here)? I'm pretty sure there was not 2000 of them in the US at the time. I'm guessing Troy's interpretation of 2000 units was clearly different in 2013 than now.
  17. Thanks! I listen to practical pistol, but I've been looking for others. Can anyone vouch for the "power factor show"?
  18. Port Malabar is an excellent club. I was a member there when I first came to Florida. North Florida Checking in.
  19. My head hurts What's the advantage of having only nitride, compared to nitride and polycoat?
  20. I thought that all the slides are nitrated, whereas the blue version has a nitrated frame and slide while the black and urban grey do not?
  21. There is a need. The need is to have shiny magazines that look cool and may or may not have an immeasurably small advantage lol

    Glock Split Barrel

    That's crazy. Did glock pay the shipping or did you? And don't tell them reloads were shot though it!
  23. Shoot a division like production in which you can be competitive shooting your stock 34. Reloading is not a big deal.
  24. Thanks for the heads up on the 8000. I like the idea of being able to use a headset and it looks like a gameboy sp which is a plus I guess lol
