This seems the appropriate place to post my 5oth post. Thanks guys.

I've been on the fence about reloading for years, mostly because I don't really know how to do it and I'm not all that mechanically inclined. I guess it cant be too hard based on some of the nitwits I shoot with lol

If running a 1911, Dawson has a nice magazine release that angles back towards the thumb and is really easy to reach. A set of VZ grips with the Super Scoop option also helps a lot.

Buckle up, it's not a cheap sport

Plan on losing about 20% of the purchase price on a used STI

I'm down for a 10 spot

maybe in an old school Dirty Harry Shoulder Holster

would be fun though. 5.7 is like shooting a BB Gun on steroids

make sure to bring a mag brush. when it gets sloppy out, especially at our club you end up getting tons of mud and sand in the mags

I bought some factory loaded 9mm major from Atlanta Arms and they load 147's for some reason. They seem to shoot fine.

I think its going to be a love/hate with this bag. I used it for the first time today. It looks great, holds lots of stuff in easy to find places. Heavy Mo Fo though.

I like to shoot with people that are better than me, not hard to find by the way. One of my friends made GM today at our match. Very cool!

OK, I guess I'm slow, but are you saying that pulling the slide back from the rear serrations and catching the round from the air is dangerous? How is that different than pulling the slide back and letting the round fall to the ground? I'm new so don't slay me for asking.

Has anyone used any of the ORM 9 major. I see they offer it in 115 and 124 grain options. Price is much more reasonable than Atlanta Arms. As low as .34 per round vs .44 cents.

I've had the same broken down range bag for 3 years. I can't wait to use this at my match tomorrow!
