I miss having the space to do this. It would be fantastic to step out back and shoot as desired. The only thing worse than paying range fees is buying factory ammo! I never buy factory ammo (except rimfire) but those range fees add up quickly.

I just wanted to give kudos to excellent buying experiences with forum members here. I've had recent transactions or interactions with rowdyb, sschultz, ScottieShootz, Lifeislarge, and the Ben Stoeger Pro Shop. Each one was professional with good communications. Thanks again.

Just picked it up this morning. Came from a forum member here...great purchase experience. Brazos Pro SDC Limited

Gun arrives tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to start with a WST/BBI 200 load and go from there. I pushed pause on ordering the 1050 conversion for 40. I will run it on my 650 press for now, getting a feel for it. I ordered that die combination that seemed popular and it's ready to go. Just waiting on the brass to arrive soon.

Yes, I would be interested in joining. Keep me in mind please.

Which class? What location and approximate date?

Yea man...components are ordered...Limited gun is on the way...just need to get the 1050 and bullet feeder conversion parts.

Welcome to the forums! I traveled through Jo'burg on the way to Harare, Zim 10 years ago for a hunt. That was one long flight from Dulles...18 hours in the air.

That's fair. Just be upfront and tell people no comments please. It's tempting to put something there to ID the transaction but that's only because the trust hasn't been built yet. I was tempted to say "enjoy your time on the Brazos" for my Brazos Limited purchase...but didn't. Hah.

Good point. It's tempting to provide a small comment...but this is a good reminder not to.

Thanks for all the good info.

I've been reading the tutorial. It sounds fairly straight forward with minor fitting?

Is that the best kit or should I consider a diff one for Production USPSA?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't price it individually but it looked like a good option. I will probably call CGW about it.

Has anyone tried this package from CGW or something similar? https://cajungunworks.com/product/75810-shadow-s-2-kit-bushing/

I've done that before and sometimes it works and sometimes not. It's a large pain in the butt if you have stored a lot of passwords, etc. I'm hoping not to do it as right now, this forum is the only online problem I'm having. If I reset and clear cache, I know I will have to re-do many, many passwords.

Welcome to the dark side! That looks like a nice Limited gun. Congrats. What are your bolt gun interests? You've got some great reloading & casting equipment. It sounds like you're military on deployment? If so, thanks for your service.

That's a hassle for sure. Sometimes they are a real convenience...sometimes it is more trouble than its worth. Overall, it's been useful to me. The recent example I mentioned of me being out of town (and far from a bank) but wanting to make a large purchase on this forum is a good example of that.

This hit me and I need to send mine back. I've had no issues with mine personally and I like it a lot. It's a big improvement over previous versions. Of course, any good Ruger Mk pistol is a real nice gun that will basically last forever if you don't abuse it. I know of many with over 100k through them. Some have much more.

I just used it a few days ago to purchase a $3k Limited gun from this forum. It worked really well but that's because both parties were ok using it and I was out of town so that helped not to delay a transaction. I wouldn't go past your comfort level but it is possible if both parties understand the system. Sure there's risk but if someone is well established here, that helps with the credibility. Of course, the $ was real and showed up. You can transfer it that day or the next. I've bought 1/2 dozen things here recently with PP.

It sounds like that's working for a lot of you. I just placed an order for them for my 1050. I resisted .40s for a long time and just went with 9mm or 45. I feel the dark side pulling on me.

Just put them on and like them already. I look forward to a range session but will do some dry firing tonight. Good first impression so far. I prefer the palm swell to the thin factory grips. With the S2 being such a muzzle heavy gun, the thin grips weren't holding well for me. I also like the aggressive pattern of these new grips.

Thanks Smitty. That's a great reply. From what I have read and listened to so far, that's about what I expected to hear. I do appreciate Anderson's mental game thoughts. I forgot to mention that I've been listening to both of their podcasts also. I found Ben's first and have listened to about the FIRST 15 or so. Because of Anderson's format, I've listened to the most RECENT 1/2 dozen. They are quite different from each other but I like that. If you can ignore (or enjoy) the off beat material then it's great. Personally, I like both of them and the stuff I don't like...I just ignore it. On their paid materials, I wouldn't have a problem paying more for them. They are priced right but worth far more than the cost. I can't imagine trying to advance competitively without having structure, mentoring and coaching. Even the truly gifted advance faster with all of that. The rest of us should pay even more attention to getting that.

I've got all materials from both men ordered. I will be reading/watching all of it and making practice routines from it. I was just wondering what are the main differences between their material? Or are the differences minor in nature? Anyone taken classes from both of them and have additional thoughts regarding that? It's interesting how they both quickly made GM (in different ways) and of course, they are both known for their teaching and dry fire routines. I would love to learn from both of them at some point but in the meantime, their materials are enroute.
