  1. Understood, thank you!! I’ll look into it more. A short block plus an e2 is pretty enticing! I love my Brazos limited like no other. The only issue now is can I fit it in the budget?!
  2. Gotcha. That makes sense. Not too much more either. Though my backup doesn’t have May round through it. Maybe 2k total. What’s the short block mean? Short dust cover?
  3. TBH that’s kind of what I’m leaning towards at the moment. Not quite sure how much it’ll be but, it definitely seems to be the most cost effective at the moment. But, maybe down the road get something else who knows!
  4. I think I’ve decided to make the switch from limited to open, fully! Currently, as it sits I’ve got 2 limited 2011s and 1 open 2011. #1– a Brazo’s custom with a plastic grip. #2– an STI Edge with upgraded SV trigger shoes and quality internals done by a local gun smith with a plastic grip. The open 2011 is with a PT grip, built by the same local gunsmith. I would love a backup/dry-fire gun for open as I have for limited. But, funds aren’t there to keep both limited guns and add an open gun to the collection. My Question? Should I sell the Edge and use the funds plus some to have a backup open gun built …. Or Have a new slide and barrel fitted to my Edge, drill and tap for an optic mount, then eventually add a metal grip?
  5. Why so? Why not run both the same optic? Why run the larger on top?
  6. Going to be running a dual optic set up. One on the top rail and another on a offset mount. Should I run the same red dot for both? Or a railway with a smaller one offset? thanks J
  7. Yes we have seen them... thanks again Sarge
  8. Thanks guys. I already have a bunch of 17 rounders. Some with +6 and some with +3. So thinking about getting 2 33 rounders. But the question is how many to carry during a stage and what extensions? Our regular matches which I typically shoot limited/open are typical matches with 32 round stages. We also have monster matches (which I’m probably going to start doing pcc) that can have 35-45. Currently thinking bringing some 17 rounders with the +6, getting a 33 with no basepad and a 33 with a Goliath. Thoughts?
  9. A few questions, Glock AR9 platform... 1) How many mags in belt and what capacity? 2) How many mags do you carry to a match and what capacity? (I.e. how many 33+ rounders do I need?) 3) On a 33 round Glock mag: +10 TTi vs TF Goliath +20 Thanks J
  10. Thank you all for a response. I think I’m at a point where I do want to load a caliber that I already have, don’t want to get the stuff to load something I need to get dies and brass and etc for....I don’t know if I will ever shoot revolver in a competition. My thought currently is if I want to then I will get something more suitable for it, ie 8-shot 9mm/38 something. Currently looking at a S&W 610/986, Ruger LCR/LCRx or SP101. Thanks again
  11. Thanks guys. I’m pretty much into limited and open. Not sure if I would ever shoot this is USPSA or not, just kind of a range plinker. Does that change the suggestions of: 929, 627 or 610?
  12. I don’t know if this is the topic or not but, mods change if not....thanks. Looking to purchase my first revolver. I do shoot USPSA but in limited and open with very little want to try the revolver division, but who knows. More so want something to shoot at the range and enjoy. Looking to just stick to the calibers I already load: 9mm and 40. Which I know doesn’t leave me many options. What revolvers/brand/ Models do you suggest? S&W, Ruger, Charter Arms, etc... Thanks, J

    Racker ?

    The atlas ones come stock bent like echo mentioned. I have one of them as well as a Brazo’s zig racker that I cut the last bend out so it would be shorter and I could swap it to the other side without interfering with ejection. https://atlasgunworks.com/product/atlas-gunworks-ape-hanger-racker/
  14. So what’s your powder of preference then?
  15. I just talked to the previous owner And he said that it’ll run 170pf with 8.2 grains of hs6 at 1.165 and a jhp...I’m not seeing that it is that far off that is what everyone else’s Charges are
  16. Forgot to include.... Full Size, 5.4 barrel, full length slide, short dust cover, 4 holes in the barrel. 2 Vees at a 45 and 2 popples. I believe all are 3/16 but I don’t have it to measure. I would need to load at a 1.165
  17. That’s the plan. Thinking I’ll start at 9.0gr. Unless someone tells me otherwise
  18. Hey all, Looking for where to start loading 9 major at with the following powders with a 124gr precision delta jhp and CCI srp... cfe hs-6 aa#7 thanks, J
  19. Thanks guys, This is what I'm currently working with.... Thinking I'm going to go with either RMR JHP or PD JHP both in 124gr and load to 1.165" OAL but, I need to check to barrel to see how long I can load. Thinking I'm going to with AA7, if I can find it local, because its going to require more powder thus more gas and start at a safe amount, 8gr ,and work up from there. Assuming I'm going to be in the 9.5-9.8 grain range. Looking for pressure signs obviously. But, I might as well pick up some HS-6 as well too and test. Thinking I'll be in the 8.2 gr range for that one. Sarge, I'm hoping to start load testing the beginning of the month and the goal is to shoot the last 4-5ish, matches in open, monster matches included. I will try this myself but, When I start having issues I'll hit you up and take you up on your offer! Thanks
  20. The holes in the barrel is the one thing I wasn’t happy with when I purchased from the previous owner. I was going to shoot it for a while and see what I can get it to do, then replace the barrel and comp if I’m not happy... I mean after all it’s my fun gun, I’m happy in limited. AA7 is what I’m leaning towards. Thinking with the holes in the barrels I’ll have to go with 124s Sounds like find the 170pf load and increase from there until the gun runs flat and the dot tracks up and down, with the dot quickly returning back to the target. Take video and make sure all the gas is coming out of the ports and comp not front. Am I correct in my thinking?
  21. Hey all, Just recently purchased my first open gun. I've been shooting 40s&w 2011s in limited and reloading for quite a while, 5+ years. But, after doing some research I have a question when it comes to physically shooting the open gun and tracking the dot. For reference I've got a full size 9mm major gun with 4 holes drilled, 2 popples and 2 vee-ports at a 45 deg, in the barrel and a Bedell Ti comp... 1) I have yet to decide a powder, I have some CFE laying around, but thinking HS-6 vs AA7. Anyway, what would be a good power factor to shoot towards to make the comp work? As loading for a open gun and non-comp gun seem different. In limited I would load to 170 and call it a day but, what about open? Is there a power factor that makes the comp work better, i.e. 176-180 or is it similar to loading for limited? 2) When I narrow down a powder and load up some rounds, what am I looking for the dot to do? How much movement? What kind of movement? 3) When i get everything situated, I'm assuming spring wise its similar to finding a proper spring weight in my limited guns? THANKS in advance! J Ohh, and if this should go in the reloading form, mods I apologize and please move. Thanks.
  22. Nope, It’s already a 6-40. But I’ll give that a go if it doesn’t work, would a 8-40 be too large?
