I followed a thread on AR9's and compatible triggers. I did a count of what triggers were working and which ones were not. This is what I found for whatever you may find its worth.
Trigger: Worked: Didn't work:
Hyperfire 24 32 2
McCormack 2 4
Timmny 14 1
POF 11 0
ALG-ACT 11 2
Triggertech 6 1
Elfman 1 8
JP 10 0
ARGold (AR10) 2 1
Rise 1 1

I had a Delta point pro on mine but recently decided to try a SIG Romeo 5X. I am so far very impressed with it and no plans to switch back to the DP Pro unless it fails.

I have owned many Ruger firearms. Due to the lack of an accuracy guarantee I will not take the chance at the price of an RPR. Too many cases of RPR's not shooting to expectations by good shooters.

Nope, but the key advantage - IMHO - of the 2.0 in Production was the improved accuracy out of the box, the "improved" trigger, and the improved grip texture. Now (well, after 90 days) you can drop in an Apex FSS trigger and barrel, and stipple anywhere you want on the grip, so the advantages of the 2.0 have largely disappeared. Certainly there is nothing wrong with the 2.0, but the 1.0 is available now in black and likely at lower prices (though I confess I haven't looked... I already have ample 1.0s in my safe), so this may be a good alternative route to a Production-legal top performer.
I did see someone mention here that the 2.0 recoiled softer than a 1.0. I have not really noticed that with my 2.0 Compact, but it may not be a true apples-to-apples comparison.
A new 5" 2.0 is $499.00 at buds and a 1.0 5" pro (the closest equivalent) is $574.00. Add an APEX bbl to the 1.0 and you have $275.00 more in the 1.0 and it does not shoot nearly as soft. If you don't have either, the best money would be on a 2.0 in my opinion. Shooting both my 2.0 and my Performance center 9L (with APEX bbl) the 2.0 blows it away. Accuracy is very equal but grip, recoil, trigger reset are that much better. I even have the Apex RAM and even though it helped the feel of the reset in the 1.0, the 2.0 is still much better. Both guns could benefit from an APEX trigger kit, but thats a wash between the two. The recoil of my 2.0 compact is about the same as my 9L, but I'm not using the 2.0C for competition. Of course there is the FDE color. Some people just can't get past that. I don't care what color it is (except pink, LOL) if it does what I ask it.

With the new Production rules, a 1.0 with Apex barrel and FSS trigger makes a lot of sense.
Is there something in the new rules that don't favor the 2.0? (I looked at the rules and didn't see anything) I have both and I would pick my stock 2.0 over my 1.0 with Apex bbl any day.

i had the VX-6 1-6 with the CMR reticle. not even close to being daylight bright, even in shadowy cloudy overcast days. I sent it in to leupold thinking it was the scope, it wasnt.
so i sold it for a loss, sadly. it had great clarity and weight....but not having a daylight bright reticle really forced me to search for the reticle while shooting fast which ended up slowing me down.
The problem is the reticle. The CMR is simply illuminated for low light shooting. The Firedot series of reticles in the VX-6 are daylight bright.

Remington and Mossberg have now standardized detachable box magazines in the 870 and 590 line of pump shotguns. I can only imagine that they will make their way to the popular semi-auto shotguns shortly. Currently this would place the shooter in Open division. So should we fight the future to retain our caddies, vests, and quad loads? Or start planning on allowing these types of shotguns in the other divisions?
Just like the carry optics discussion, this won't be a popular option with the open shooters. I like Kurts reply very much.

Mark P.... you realize that the PCC division is for old, fat guys, right?
How old......and how fat.....? Lol

Major/minor scoring in 3 Gun!?!?! Let's not get too crazy here...
Not crazy at all. We use such scoring at our matches. Its supposedly to even things out for the guys shooting 308/45. But theres literally nobody shooting major at our 3-gun matches. For us it would be easy to adopt Major scoring for all Tac-optic shooters and score minor with a CO pistol. And I'm not saying its the answer, but were I the match director it would be worth a try to see if it works. I may just discuss this with our match director next time I see him.

If you allow CO limited to 10 rounds into TO most existing shooters will not be "forced" to switch.
Loosing 10-13 rounds to gain an optic on the pistol is not a choice most would choose.
Im not sure limiting magazines to 10 rounds would be fair to anyone needing or wanting to shoot a carry optic pistol in 3-gun. If theres such a perceived disparity between a CO pistol and a limited pistol, perhaps a compromise could be made in the definition of a carry optic pistol. Such as, designating slide mounted optics on striker fired pistols only, everybody knows 2011's are a big advantage over Glocks, M&P's etc. LOL. Or perhaps an adjustment to scoring. All Cary optics, regardless of caliber score minor, etc. Theres several ways to allow it fairly. It just will take people with an open mind to come up with a reasonable solution.

Its funny that most of those declaring "Just shoot open" are themselves open shooters. Looking thru the results from the last few months at our club it seems open is a dying division. Or at least a struggling one. Perhaps its a more emotional response than practical. PCC and CO is growing rapidly in popularity. Something will change in the game with respect to CO, its just a matter of time. It doesn't need to be another division, nor does it need to be "Just shoot open". I still feel Tac-Optics is the best place for it. A minor rules adjustment is all that would be required. The only thing that needs to be "Open" is our minds.

Just finished this project. Functioned 100% and very accurate. Used an old mil-spec trigger, but plan on something nicer in the near future. The big surprise for me was how much I like the SIG Romeo 5X. If it holds up over time it will be a winner. I tried a mild "Battle worn" finish to the ceracoat. It actually looks better in person than in the pictures. Drilled out an old Miculek comp I had. Overall it balances and shoots remarkably well. After reading all the posts about weight, recoil, sight movement etc, I was expecting the worst. It is remarkably smooth and flat shooting as is. I will probably play around with the bolt/buffer a little just to try to tune it a little. Probably for no other reason than curiosity.

for an inexpensive Miculek style comp in both 1/2x28 or 1/2x36, you might look at McDonald Precision Components...
Or get a Miculek and drill it out. Thats what I did. Works beautifully .

For $60.00 MOA precision will send you one ground to fit your stock. Mine is great. Fit perfect.

The Gibbz and NFA side charging uppers require a special cam pin that can't be swapped out in a 9mm bcg. I guess you could drill the bcg and permanently attach the cam pin.
Thats not entirely true. At least with the NFA. The 9mm side charger does not use a special cam pin. Only their AR15 and AR10 side chargers do. The 9mm version will work with almost any bolt for 9mm. Im not familiar with how the Gibbz works.

I would guess its the 6061 version (the oversized latch didn't help either). I have seen this before with them. I have not personally witnessed this with a 7075 Mil-spec charge handle.

It reminds me of a beefed up 10/22 also ...
Me too. But priced higher than a Kel-tec. At over $500.00 Im not remotely interested. $350.00 I might actually look at one. Remarkably, they will probably sell a boatload of them.
-
All things being equal, I think it makes no difference to accuracy. I believe a quality made bullet with good uniformity by a quality bullet maker will give you all the accuracy you could ask for regardless of a cannelure. A cheap poor quality bullet will give poor results with or without a cannelure.

I have always found FMJ give me the best results both on the loading bench and on target. If you look closely RMR (Rocky mountain reloading) has prices that are as good or close enough for their FMJ offerings. My last order was for 4000 124gr FMJ 9mm and they were the same price as the cheapest plated 124 bullet I could find. Very pleased with their accuracy and customer service.
-
I have tried 55gr, 60gr and 75gr (all Hornady) in my DD 1/7 and it likes them all, but the 75's were a little better than the others. The 55 and 60's were averaging 1" to 1/14" at 100yds and the 75gr consistantly hit 3/4".

Capped turrets? I dont know about that but they took an already great scope at a perfect price point and added $400.00 for crap I wont notice in 3-gun. Glad I got mine before the HD version came out.

I did this on one of my DPPs and I think it may have messed it up. I was careful about it and used a dremel slowly, but that particular DPP had to be sent back to Leupold. They replaced the guts and its fine now. After I took off the material, the autoshut off sensor wasn't working - the optic would shut off at 5m regardless of movement. FYI.
Probably just a coincedance. The problem you experianced is known and not unique to your example. If the electronics were that delicate, it would never survive the battering it takes during recoil.

After every match. I take rifle apart and wipe everything down. run mop in the chamber. one pull of bore snake through the barrel. clean bolt. Relube and ready for next session.
This is my routine also.....almost. I don't do it after every match. But when I do decide to clean, this is what I do. One pull and done. I have not put a rod down ANY barrel since I bought bore snakes a couple years ago. Will never go back to my Deweys.
-
Its actually easy and better (in my opinion) to take the material off the sight. Thats what I did. Its only a sliver of aluminum and a dremel going slow with a little touch up black. Buggering up the slide was not so desirable a choice, as Im more likely to change optic, or sell the pistol some day and would regret altering the slide.
