  1. I use a Lee FCD to reload Blazer 9mm brass with 165gr .358 coated bullets for my 929. Since it’s a revo I have to overcrimp which leaves a cannelure type ring in the coating. So I’m doing so much wrong -Lee 9mm FCD with overcrimping to boot. no leading nor accuracy issues. It’s perfect I did recently change to a Lyman M neck expander (.358 die) in place of the sizing/de-cap die on my 650. All my brass is pre-processed and sized separately. The press runs smoother and getting less shaving of the odd round that I used to get. It is creating a bulge that the FCD smooths out.
  2. It was announced at the IRC, scheduling conflict. At least you’ve just been to frostproof. First time for us, just hoping we don’t get the wrong side in the early am when the sun comes up. At least that’s the main complaint I’ve heard of.
  3. As a lowly b class shooter I quite like it when I beat A class shooters at a match.
  4. Up here limited and SS are tied, way, way below production. It varies club to club, some with no limited shooters at all.
  5. Same as below but 2x day dryfire and normal lifting routine (strength emphasis). If my tendinitis improves more grip work - seeing my Chiro tomorrow (it so happens he’s been shooting for 20+ yrs - fellow ipsc shooter)
  6. No Dryfire will work wonders to get out of D class! Don't forget to make some practice dummy rounds as well.
  7. And all at just 19 years old? Wow. Congrats.
  8. I like it better than liquid chalk. I had the gruffel stuff, the DAA is easier to get and the ability to stow it on the belt is a plus. Seems to work equally well. they are probably all buying it from the same suppler, I mean how many companies make grip liquid?
  9. I like the DAA Gripz with the belt magnetic holder. Turns out my wife uses it 10x more than I do. Shoot revo so I don't have a super aggressive grip surface.
  10. Mods? Just had the edged champered but that shouldn't make any difference. I went to .358 from what I read here. They worked great in our first 929's and when I got our 2nd set of fully tuned 929's they worked in those as well. Thankfully as I had 20k of lead on hand. What exactly is your issue? Can you clarify: I load using a Lee 9mm FCD.
  11. I use .358 Ibej's in our 929's. No problems. Did you mic the Gallants?
  12. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/04/10/potd-watch-hands-unload-show-clear/
  13. All of the above and I added this a while ago -just in case This screwdriver set is the cat's meow. I even take it if we are flying to a match. https://chapmanmfg.com/products/5589-ultimate-gunsmithing-set
  14. What exactly goes on in a cross fit gym? I'm an old school body builder.
  15. That about sums it up. I try to make practice as close as possible to match conditions.
  16. I remember one classifier stage at a regional match where an A class then M class shooter shot it after lunch. I was next up and burned it down. Same rate of fire for sure. Hits...not so much. Lowest classifier in ages! OOooppps
  17. I'm in a similar boat with the Lee FCD on a Whidden toolhead. Blue Loctite the die in place is what I had to do. Works.
  18. I can't imagine taking a course with a grip like that. My hands don't develop callous much even with daily dryfire and lifting weights 4x week.
  19. We used David Olhasso with TK parts. Totally different gun.
  20. Doesn't need to be a #, can be a mix or all letters Mine is LCANADA929 Wasn't an incentive and didn't even know about it. Ron mentioned we could have a custom # so we got creative.
  21. Good to know! I never new the difference between the 2 machines.
  22. Cool beans! If I may ask what were the ITAR issues? I was hoping to get a machine sent to my US box and I'll bring it over (didn't email Mark7 yet to see if they can supply the right doc's)
