[SP-01 locking up]

Might be a worn out recoil spring.

[Who makes this bullet?]

Looked at the everglades and it does have the impression in the bottom. Guessing it is when it is sized and the jacket is smashed on and pressed out or in the mold.

[9mm reamer depth]

You won't be able affect throat without affecting chamber case depth as well so watch the end of you brass to make sure you don't ream too deep to achieve the leade you want. What teamer are you using?

 

I reamed a few barrels without using go/no go guages. Load a few dummy rounds as close to what you want to use with the types of brass you plan to use. Use lots of oil for smoother cuts and clean often. Sammi specs are pretty generous and will give you a lot of wiggle room for your round to move front to back. Don't use much pressure and spin it freely with your fingers to get a nice smooth finish cut on your progress. Spin as you remove it to prevent gouges.

[Who makes this bullet?]

Doesn't zero have a new hap style bullet? Haven't seen the base of the zero bullets so can't say for sure.

[SP-01 best adjustable sight?]

I have the second ones that vtec linked too. They work well on my sp01 phantom. If the tactical has sights like the shadow then the shadow 2 rear sight is decent and can be found relatively cheap.

[New Shooters ! Beware of those bearing loaners !]

I ran a 5k run and gun with a buddy. He shot a glock 22 and I shot a cz phantom. He doesn't math very well and asked what the pistol total shot count would need to be. I told him I was taking 4 mags giving me 80 rds total. He needed 66 rounds and translated that to 4 mags for him at 15 rds each. Well he ran out and we both shot the last stage with my pistol. He fell in love with my cajuned phantom and went out and bought a shadow 2 to one up me. He was a dead set glock guy.

[147grn Coated and Clays]

244 has worked great from the testing I have done with it. Have been starting at the bottom or below load minimums and getting very consistent results with single digit sd's and good accuracy. Have done a lot of different bullets weights in 9mm, little bit of 40, 45 and 38 spl.

[Need Coated 124’s recommendation]

Sounds like these bullets run a little on the soft side since people are jumping up in the diameter to prevent leading and improve accuracy. Wonder how close they really are to 13 brinell hardness.

[shadow 2 rear sight]

Alright it is a metric #2 allen wrench. Heat it up with a solder iron in case it has some loctite on it.

[Best compact range bags?]

I just go to lowes and buy the small tool bags. Strong enough to hold all my stuff with enough pockets running the sides, in and out to hold mags, pens, tools, timer etc. Usually under $20. 

[shadow 2 rear sight]

I think it is metric #4 or something like that. I have a bunch of loose wrenches on my bench and just keep trying ones till it fits. I am terribly unorganized.

[keyholing]

I had some tumbling with Penn 115 SWCs but I think I was pushing them too fast. My Penn 120 FP are some of the most accurate in my CZs. I use 4.0-4.2 WSF with those.

[9mm velocity magnetospeed vs traditional]

Saw a guy place his chrony behind a plate rack to test loads. Makes it real hard to shoot it. He had the info sent to his phone.

[Need Coated 124’s recommendation]

Good on them for something that wasn't their fault. As the quality workforce gets smaller and is replaced by lazy people, I fear this will happen more often. Those heavy boxes full of bullets will get miss handled and abused as payback for making them work so hard. 

[Let's talk extended firing pins]

#2 - I will check the length on mine. Got a used Shadow SP01 and not sure what firing pin it has but I did change the hammer spring to 11# and recoil spring to 13#. No problems with setting off rounds or funny looking primer strikes.

[Indent ring on HP bullets during seating]

Helps to seat and crimp at separate stations. Doing it at the same time can crimp before the seating is done. Some harder brass will be tougher to seat and can cause those rings. If you have a wad cutter style seating stem you can use that for hollow points. It has a flat front instead of concave.

 

 

[shadow 2 rear sight]

Make sure to raise the set screws a good amount. There is a recess under the sight they fit into and you could still be hitting one of the edges.

[165gr 9mm and my Dillon.]

I see more variation with mixed brass. Some feel harder than others and I can tell when sizing and bullet seating those. Fed, rem, win, g.f.l., no real problems. Geco, cbc, s&b all feel harder to seat and size resulting in different OALs.

[Hat cam with built-in stabilization?]

I have the newer session hero 5 and don't use the image stabilization. Makes the image look wierd and not move smoothly. Work on getting a steadier mount for your camera. If you have it on a hat that is not nice and tight then it will vibrate with recoil. I used the headband style over a full cotton ballcap and it stays pretty steady. I have moved to the clip mount on my active hearing protection band. Trick is getting it angled right and not pointing at the ground when I shoot.

[SP-01 Duty Holster]

http://www.czech-holsters.com/Duty-Holsters-c1_35_2.htm

 

Here are some duty style holsters. KT-mech can make you a hooded level 2 if you need light mounted. They are fast an offer many options for a good price. You can also get suede lined.

[How to get 21 rounds, reloadable, in 75B from Mecgar 19 for free]

Did it to all my p09, p07, mecgars and cz mags. Cheapest +3 rounds when you add the plastic +2 extension from cz with LEO discount. Makes $30-40 for +5/6 hard to stomach.

[multiple holster one hanger]

If the video shows a round mount on the drop down it could be g-code holsters set up with their RTI mounting brackets. Fits several different style holsters and allows you to swith holsters on same belt by clicking the locking plate back and forth then pulling up on the holster to free it from the mounting plate.

[Am I the only one here done with The Walking Dead?]

Found myself yelling at the show too much because they would put themselves in the stupid situations that would make things go bad. Saw who neegan batted then stopped after that. Buddy of mine says the whispers season is getting good so may just jump back in there. Got to the point where I was rooting for main characters to die because they annoyed me so much.

[K—O]

Just get a 550. You are already familiar with it and it can be fast enough. I load both pistol and .223 on mine. Less to adjust and makes you focus more on what you are doing so you don't mess something up. Then you and whoever you are sharing the 550 with can swap conversions back and forth when you need them.
