I use the Lee Bulge Buster with a 9mm Makarov die and it has allowed me o use all my reloads in whatever 9m pistol I choose. Here is a thread that discusses it. https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Lee_Bulge_Buster_on_9mm/42-437330/ I know others who use the Lee u-die successfully .

Hello, I had a problem resizing 9mm Glock shot brass to fit my Kimber Custom II chamber. I solved it by running the ammo through the Lee Bulge BUster using a Makarov die. You can read a discussion of this here: https://www.ar15.com/forums/armory/Lee_Bulge_Buster_on_9mm/42-437330/ I solved my problem so I canuse my reloads in any 9mm I choose without fear of failure. That being said, the PM9 is on my wish list. Tom

+1 for Wolf 14# in a 34

Actually, my shoots a soft load in a 45 1911 and prefers it to the Glock in 9mm. I have a 1911 in 9mm and that shoots as soft as a 22 like the previous poster mentioned. It is a joy to shoot. Only bad thing is you'll go through a lot more ammo with it because it is so much fun.

I don't think the rifle power factor should be set based on politics. Excluding certain calibres because of their origin is not in keeping with the spirit of the game. ......Just my 2 cents

You should have no problem trading out for one without a safety. The one's with safeties seem to be in higher demand than those without.

You won't find a more competitive class is USPSA than Production and you have the gun the many GM's have and/or still use. I'd hold off on 40. It is a different animal.

The CZ has won many championships and is a proven platform..... But then again so has the tangfolio..Shoot what feels right.

That's very nice and a very fast turnaround.

+1 Accurate Plating

Holster wear is tough to prevent with any self-applied finish. Sending it out to a professional refinisher may not be that expensive an option when everything is considered.

A friend usually starts off practice with 50 or so rounds of .22. It works for himbut never has done much for me.

Hello, I think I've finally found my ideal carry gun. It is the Sig 1911 C3 with the Crimson Trace red dot grips. It has a Commander size slide with a bushing barrel mated to an Officer's size frame. It come with all the mods I would want including a mag well; is very light and compact; packs well and shoots great. I especially like being able to change out the springs to match a load. Great little gun.. I never thought I'd ever go for the red dot, but in a home defense situation it is a nice feature.

Have you tried different brands of ammo? All my .22's have been very ammo dependent as to performance.

Good advice. Practice with what you have and you'll improve much faster. There is no magic gun. I've tried a lot of them over the years and found that sticking with one, no matter what it was, for a significant length of time gave the best results. Good luck and continue to enjoy yourself.

M&P's are great once you change the sear. That solves trigger pull issues and they are ready to go. Good idea.

You may want to check the oal of your reloads. On my Kimber I have to shoot a slightly shorter load because the lands in the barrel start earlier than my other pistols. Good luck finding a solution.

Have you tried your local gunsmith or the CZ forum? As I recall they are an LPA brand sight and their standard size.

Consider too that the load you shoot makes a big difference. I've shot a lot of bullseye with .22's and I can tell you that ammo has a big effect on accuracy. Whenever I've gotten a new 22 target pistol I've spent hours shooting diferent brands and lots of ammo to find what it likes and what it doesn't. Unfortunately, doing that with a centerfire pistol can be cost prohibitive. You may want to try varying your load before looking for a new barrel. Just my 2 cents.

My G19 ran everything I fed it with the stock spring unless my grip was off. Then, with a light load I'd have a problem. Accuracy suffered with a lighter load as well.. If youwant a softer load then go to a 147 gr bullet and subsonic. It will be very sofy but still have all the energy needed to work the action.

Good advice.

Did you try another batch?

Also, they are on sale right now. For the on sale price you get a nice gun which should do what you like. That said, I carry a Sig C3 which is their 1911 with an officer's size frame and a commander length slide with a bushing barrel. It has a crimson trace dot as well. I like it and it shoots well.

The new ones are very nice and shoot well.

I have and shoot the same gn and I added a magweill, changed out springs, and just shot it with the mags I have (Wilsons and Act-mag). It is accurate and reliable. Enjoy your gun.
