I'm just saying a Glock will do the same thing at a fraction of the cost, but if you've got the money, go for it.
Yes a Glock will do the same thing for a fraction of the price, that’s a very blanket and obvious statement. This is a thread asking people’s opinions of them who actually own them, not who think a Glock will do the same thing.. -
My issue is that it’s only 8 rounds. Otherwise I’d buy one. -
I’ve always liked this idea, although I’ve never shot a match like this. It seems like it would work really well. Each range would correspond to the block of stages you shoot on a given day, so you don’t have to worry about the delay of getting people from one range to the other in between stages on the same day.
There was actually talk of this being a possibility for an Area 1 match, I think it would be pretty cool to try and could work. -
There are a couple of them in the US. You just have to have a national championship or two to get a copy. [emoji23]
Definitely a perk for him.. too bad the colors they released to the US were so fugly.. -
I just have the skylight on mine, my room has good light so the extra strip on the frame of the press isn’t really needed.
-
Inlinefabrication and range panda’s 3d printing are my go to places for press upgrades. They have stuff for non Dillon presses also and prices are very reasonable. The locator pin tabs, powder thrower adjustment knobs, primer tube holders, plastic bin dams, and the light kits are amazing.

My stock 2 and Limited Custom both eject brass forward regularly. My thought on it was if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Picking up brass may be a little more of a PITA but oh well if the gun runs.

I got an email from Smoky Mountain Guns and Ammo. They will be selling the standard model for $459 shipped and the optic plate model for $499.
I’ll be doing some looking around, but that’s not horrible at all. -
Talk to Robert at Red Hill Tactical, he seems to have a ton of molds for different guns. If he has anything use code “Nevermiss” and save some money while you’re at it. They have done all of my holsters and I’ve been extremely happy with them.

It’s too late for me, I bought a limited since I was tired of waiting, now it’s for sale and I’m heading back to the 2011 world for Limited shooting. I wish they had been available earlier.

I had a few mags stick also, I simply squeezed them in a vise and it fixed the problem. I’ve been shooting my stock 2 for about 3 years or so. Pat Kelley did an out of the box to the match with a stock 2 and had similar issues. That’s actually where I got the idea from and ironically bought the gun from him that he did the video with. the new mags I ordered after I bought it had the issue so it went straight to the vise and never looked back.

Well, is anyone else curious about how these are going to compete with the other micros? I didn’t see another thread in them so if this isn’t in the right spot let me know.
I’m hoping the MSRP is less than the SIG P365XL, but we shall see.
Has anyone had the opportunity to put hands on one yet?

Honcho is gonna be the best bang for buck unless you want something actually custom. Custom being you design the slide cuts, you pick how the trigger is shaped, stuff like that. Other then that stuff ALL the 2011s are the same gun with different builders doing certain "extra" fitting, polishing, and marketing gimmicks.
You’ll see differences in blending and overall quality of work that won’t necessarily make the gun run better but after you’ve seen one that has really been gone over with detail it’s hard to go back. Berger Precision is building mine this winter.
If I wasn’t having him build one I’d hop on the Honcho train I think. -
Does everyone with 9mm mags run the rear spacers or do you take them out? I was talking with a guy saying he doesn’t..

I have a leather holster that fits just about everything I’ve put in it. Made well by a guy local to me, I’ve put my para, springfield, and a kimber,in it with a rail. Didn’t stretch it out either.

In the heat of the season, I live fire at least once a week, if I can get away with more I will. Sometimes even if it’s just on my lunch to run the plate rack for 30 minutes with SH/WH or transitions from outside to inside. I don’t dry fire like I should but am going to try this winter since our shooting dries up here in eastern WA.

60 yards with a 2011 edge in .40 on a 18x24 plate is the most I’ve “tried”, I might have to mess around on a fun range day soon and post video lol

I’d get ahold of Tim Herron. Awesome instructor.

We have 2 different stars from MGM, but I’d be willing to look at the Targets USA model as well. They make good products and the price points aren’t bad either. If we were in the market I’d look into them more heavily.

Uprange movement is a good thing to have in the toolbox as a shooter. We did a stage starting downrange and you had to basically walk backward through the entire stage to do it efficiently.

I use a DAA magnet and it works damn good. I typically snap a second mag to it in a stage where mags start from barrels, saves time and they aren’t falling off unless you get it on the very edge and are moving really aggressively.

To add, we also constructed some vision barriers about 6” tall made of a corrugated white plastic material and they work great as replacements for barrels. I’ll try to snap a pic when I’m out at the range next.

I would think that if it’s a shooting area it would be marked in the WSB but I get it.

Which one?

I don’t know the difference so I’ll pick dry fly [emoji2371]

Kind of wondering the same thing.
