  1. No harm in using it.. You should be fine. I run mine the same way
  2. I run Br4 primers exclusively in my major match ammo. Extremely small SD in pf and ignition is 100%. I load on a 1050 and seat primers deep. Only primers I've had issues with reliability are Military rifle primers although the CCI 41s are good but Winchester don't even think about trying. 15lb main spring with extended firing pin and extra power firing pin spring. Crush the primers in a little if you're on a 650
  3. Work on it for 5-10 minutes in your dry fire. Confirm in live fire
  4. It's usually out 7-10 days before the match so probably end of next week
  5. A few of my buddies have the Canik TP9 SFX package and it is pretty awesome for the money. You should be able to get holster and other things for under 1k if you don't have everything
  6. Venom, Rafferty, Bedell, Brazos, McLearn, EMG, Infinity are all very good. They gave differing time lines depending on your patience level. They will all run very well. I know a shorter turn around would be a Brazos Custom with a cheeley grip. I bought the fitted short block kit last year and finished it up with internals, grip and sights. It ran great all last year and it still going strong. He has many years in the game. I may get another kit but already have a Bedell as well
  7. The occasional piece of brass getting caught under the mount, bullet separation, worn out primer pockets. 38sc people shoot one headstamp and have very few if any problems. I shoot a major match almost monthly so the cost is minimal given what I spend already. If you don't compete in many majors, you don't need new. You'll read many anecdotes about no failures with range brass. New brass is 100% in spec. Do what's best for you
  8. Yes, new starline brass for major matches exclusively. The ejection is more consistent as well as feeding. No issues the last six months doing it this way
  9. Those are both great powders and low pressure. You were right about the manufacturer. He has a reputation of building guns that don't always hold up. I'm pretty certain that's where you slide and comp cracking came from. Was it a titanium comp By chance?
  10. I've got 10-12 reloads out my starline and federal 9 brass with HS-6. They can go far with slower powders
  11. I've been using 9mm star line brass for the last six months and both my guns run very consistently. HS-6 is lower pressure and meters well. 38sc is a tiny bit flatter but doesn't necessarily make your skills better. .
  12. I like 124s and 115s in minor. The sights snap right back into place. The 147s feel softer but sights take longer to return. I would stay right where you are
  13. Daaaaaannnngggg you need a hug or something?
  14. No, it won't. Everybody and their mom is in some optic division. Compete with what you like and have fun. Like everyone else is lol
  15. Started in limited. Now in Open. Love my limited guns and would never sell them. Still practice and compete in locals with them. Why does changing equipment rules seem like it will magically bring interest back into irons?? Optics are just better for people old and young. If you love limited please don't let others, or the lack thereof, in the divisions effect your participation. It's the competitors choice to not participate. They numbers have spoken and Carry Optics is king. Personally, I would love for a separate Limited Nationals to be held every year. I would be the first to sign up for it in addition to Open. All the big dogs would shoot up too I think
  16. If you use a really fast powder like Titegroup
  17. They work fine in my open and limited guns. Using n350 6gr @ 1.200
  18. If you slam a magazine in a 2011 when it's locked back you will very likely break the nose of the ejector. Maybe not the first time but eventually. They don't have the tab like plastic guns do that prevent over insertion of magazines
  19. Ideally, you want the bottom of the gun heaviest and the slide lighter as it's the reciprocating mass. In 2011s 10-11 ounces in slide mass is the sought after number. If it doesn't cost too much look into it but if it's more than a box of primers just buy those instead lol
  20. Just got two cases of black bullets last week and they are solid. Brass Monkey, Gallant, Blue are all solid
  21. Everglades race holster is very common to see now
