    Welcome aboard, Chris :)

    Whatja shootin'?

     

    Reloading, yet?

    Shooting limited glock. Just picked up a used edge last week so I will be giving that a go soon.  I haven't started reloading but plan on ordering a 650 or 1050 this week. Just have to decide which one.

    JP GMR-13 vs Sig MPX for PCC

    I've not shot the JP - or any 9mm AR for that matter but I recently purchased a MPX Carbine and shot the Zion Classic with it this weekend. My experience is that the MPX is very low recoil, accurate and fast. The experience is very similar to shooting a well tuned open gun. The MPX is a very dirty gun, which isn't really a big deal.

    Overall it was a good experience. I'll start a new post to share my PCC experience.

    Were you using the pistol lenth or carbine ?

    JP GMR-13 is the way you need to go. Reach out to Ben Zimmerman at JP and he can walk you through the whole process of spec-ing out the carbine YOU want and it absolutely WILL work. Start on JP's website and use their gun builder process to get close and see the different options. Then call Ben with your build number and he can talk through it with you.

    2011 slide to frame fit

    So just some helpful information first.

    If you are fitting a new slide it will need about .008" taken off the bottom of the slide before it will start on the rails. If the frame is new then you will need to remove about .003"to .005" from the outside edges of both frame rails. If the frame has already been fit to another slide then the rails should already be in spec.

    Do not remove material from the top of the frame rails.

    This is the wrong way to get a good fit. Remove the material from the bottom of the slide only. You really need a DRO equipped mill to do this. It can be done by hand but I would advise against it.

    Ok. so if the frame rail is too tall and there is going to be a gap from the bottom of the slide to the frame then I would suggest getting a new unfit slide. That way you get the best fit possible and don't get a sloppy fit by removing material from the top of the frame rails.

    You need to measure with a digital caliper to see where you are before you do anything.

    Best Pistols For Newbies

    My buddy has a Glock 35 and a 9mm barrel for an easy conversion. It's a fairly inexpensive option and super reliable, while offering great flexibility. I definitely agree that people new to shooting should begin by shooting anything they can get their hands on before buying a gun. My experience has been that most people in this sport are happy to let other people shoot their guns. And mgardner nailed it with the top 3 guns and all would do well for most shooters. I've graduated from a Glock 34 to a Glock 35 and recently purchased an STI Executive. I'm totally hooked on the 1911 platform. My learning curve in this sport has been expensive, mostly because I get impatient, but then again, you can never have too many guns!

    First USPSA event - What class?

    I recently shot my first match with 5 mags and was OK. I got a relatively inexpensive holster and a triple mag pouch and hung them on my regular leather belt. I kept 1 pouch in my back pocket - not sure if I used it, but I wouldn't have wanted to compete without it.

    That was enough to get me through the first event, and I'm not changing much for the second except an extra pouch. If I stay involved I have all the time in the world to spend more money on gear.

    I shot in Single Stack division which basically has the same rules (and mag changes) as production. The reloads were a lot to deal with during the first 1 or 2 stages, but the strategy of when and where to change mags was fun. For some sick reason I think I want to stay in SS to keep the reloading strategy, it's kind of fun :)

    I wouldn't expect to win anything your first contest out, just get familiar with the safety aspects and rules, and have fun and learn. So which class doesn't really matter - Limited would give you a scoring deficit shooting 9mm, but that shouldn't matter at all your first time out, and some people choose to shoot Limited Minor and work on better shooting to make up the points. I would consider that route, since my goal is to improve myself and not necessarily try to win.

    Something I didn't comprehend beforehand was that you shoot with a squad made up of shooters from all different divisions. You shoot the same stages, the only difference being when and where people have to reload. It's pretty cool that way - there are people of all different styles there to learn from, and it puts you in a position where you don't feel 'better or worse' than anyone. So regardless of what division you shoot, you will shoot the same stages with the same people. The only difference being how many rounds you can load in your magazine (and how many points you get for B/C/D shots).
