Aa7 (best choice imho) cfe pistol, autocomp, hs6

Eddie it's hands down the finest in the business, but i bet wait times are crazy, but he is worth the wait

It's a no go on multiple levels unsafe too fast too high of pressure, 9 major is already a high pressure round with slow powder def not a go with titegroup. The fastest slow powders are cfe pistol or autcomp. Even those have varying people's opinion on 9 major and the guns getting beat

Im pretty sure sti will still warranty their product

A bowling ball is a bad prop, but traversing a stage with a challenge is always welcoming to me. Safety while shooting is always the highest importance, but I'll be upfront I do think that there is a difference in 180 traps and shooter accountability, which I know im in the minority. Really appreciate the clarification of the rules as well as the comments on the subject.

Hard to call a stage design dumb because it presents a challenge I'm in the belief that the line is not blurred between unsafe and challenging that would be on the shooter to decide the safest and fastest way to shoot a stage.

Occasionally I like to build stages that require weak hand strong hand shooting, instead of the stand and shoot style, so using a prop to activate a stomp pad that is at the front of the stage with said prop. I'm not talking about a circus stage just a little variety nothing crazy heavy or "pistol centered stage" fair equity across all divisions.

So if it has a handle that a pcc can loop a hand through while gripping the fore end it would be okay? Bowling ball it's easy to grip with finger holes rather than cradling a basketball or the like

I'm not A PCC shooter but I was curious as a stage designer how can A PCC shoot a stage where something like a bowling ball or suitcase needs to be carried to use as a activator what's the legality on that

Thanks, wasn't aware as I don't shoot idpa. BTW I'm not a sti hater my trubor still shooting strong but is now a back up gun. If I could pick up a 9 major dvc for a good price id pick it up, (I'm a 38sc shooter)

Wasn't aware sti made a co legal gun. Are you referring to a slide mounted sa gun that would be only allowed in open division?

What does this cost?

Romeo 3 xl gets mt vote

.355 bullets are what the majority otf shooters use

When using auto comp in 38 super I loaded 7.6 grains to 1.235 oal about 168 to 170 of, I user aa7 10.4 all this with a124 gr rmr h.p.

As stated above there are better powders that are slower than auto comp & cfe pistol slower is better more gas

If it's a rts2 pattern the sig Romero 3 xl max will all mount but extend further in the front so a blast shield will not work

Great minds think alike

I shoot open, have a x5 that's deep for co occasionally play there, but personally I would go for the shadow 2 if that is a option

I wouldn't go shorter I've loaded to 1.240 1.235 and now 1.225

Let's be real Eddie's guns are in a league of their own there really is no comparison to make here

As stated earlier are any of your above mentioned choices closer to you for repairs, questions, support, etc..I think of the 3 I've seen more limcat guns in my area (not local but regional) where limcat is a NV made fun and sells is on the east coast, Bul are imported to my knowledge. If your looking at just those 3 than choose one that appeals to you whether cosmetics, caliber, grip, the list goes on. But since everyone else chimes in I shoot a EMG custom (Eddie Garcia) you'll have a wait if you order one, but they are the best gun hands down no detail left out on Eddie's builds!

Im at 10.4 gr of aa7 oal of 1.225 124gr rmr for a 170 pf. Aa7 is a great powder very gassy, meters well and is consistent dirtier than 3n38 but never had it cause me a malfunction

Risky business in my opinion, but load, fitting and spring weights may contribute to it going either direction. Good luck

Personally I would avoid the cfe/ autocomp powders in open, yes they will work but there are much better powders that aren't as fast and volatile
