[Dry Fire]

There's mo substitute to dry firing.... just get familiar ,again ,with your pistol, magz and sights.

[Who makes the softest .40 sw off the shelf?]

thank you , i'll check them all out.

[Who makes the softest .40 sw off the shelf?]

A 5" svi 2011.

[Who makes the softest .40 sw off the shelf?]

Considering switching to LTD MAJOR,  and looking for the softest ,most accurate manufactured .40 ammo-

 Don't have time to reload.

 What are my options?

[1.5lb trigger for limited]

Anything less then 1.5, inmho,May ran the risk of hammer freeze......have seen it happen in the middle of matches....

[Bill Drummond class]

Attended his class this last weekend , as part of the svi experience. bill is a great shooter and a gifted instructor. if you a chance to attend his class, do so.

 highly recommended.

[Shock- BUffs, who uses?]

 Thank you guys for your valuable feedback..... it seems we have a split field though, of yehs and nays.....

 o put differently, what are the advantages/disadvantages of short stoking? doesn't cut down the reliability factor of the cycling of the pistol?

[Shock- BUffs, who uses?]

Wonderi if any  other svi/ sti/ 2011s shooters use shockbuffs, and if not ,why?

[How has STI been recently?]

Defenitely not the sti I’m used to from 4-5 years ago. A lot has happened since then and their quality and fit and finished have deteriorated a lot. Hopefully the new mgt gets sti back on track.....

[Fine Tuning Svi Mags]

 I purchased several new svi tubes for 9mm,their 13 coils spring and followers. I opted to use the Taran Tactical base plate(4mm),

and when loaded  22 rounds , I get double feeds, stove pipes and other maladies.....what am doing wrong ,and how to fix it?

[Closing the gap on A class]

I’m kinda in the same boat... B level shooting ltd minor..... don’t want to spray and prey yet... lol.... still learning to improve.....

dry fire 3-4 times a week , local indoor matches once a week.... still making stupid mental errors.... qou Vadis  from here?

[Atlas, Akai, or CK]

I have 2 akai sand they are truly works of art- accurate and reliable. ~ 20 k thru one of them without an issue.

[Federal Syntech USPSA ammo....]

Got a 1000 rounds to try them out..... much prefer the win wb 147 gr flat nose fmj....

[Gugas ribas comp. holster vs. da alpha x?]

Thank you guys.

[Roger's Shooting School]

Heard nothing but raving feedbacks from friends who went.... on my bucket list.

[Lefty Slide lock reload times]

.... but agree with the above poster. That a slide lock reload is slower then reloading the mag while the pistol is still in battery.

[Lefty Slide lock reload times]

It takes me between 2.3-2.6 seconds to reload a new mag to first shot using the front serrations method with my right hand....

[Gugas ribas comp. holster vs. da alpha x?]

Has anyone compared the 2? What are the pluses and minuses to both? Any other alternatives I should consider?

[Double Alpha Alpha-X holster]

Forgive the elementary question ,but does it make any sense to use the alpha X with a limited ?

and if not ,why?

[To those who don’t load- what manuf. and model to pick?]

Memphis ,not sure why....perhaps in need to look more into reloading after all....

[To those who don’t load- what manuf. and model to pick?]

Thank you for your suggestions.... so far the Winchester 147 flat nose is remarkably accurate....the Atlanta arms less so...ymmv.

[2011 mags]

I like the mbx magazines.... they have been quite reliable.... just received some TTI Sv tubes with tti springs, followers and pads , for added capacity.....we shall see how they work....

[Need a bigger range bag]

Take a look at the GPS backpacks..... large plenty.

[Double Alpha Alpha-X holster]

Just ordered an alpha x , based on what some of you have said..... what belt do you pair it with?

[So 1911 9mm Single Stacks...]

OP, It depends on your budget..... given the aforementioned choices , I’d go with the S&w. DW, a Colt  would also be good choices
