what was area 8's numbers ?

The barrels are short (sub 5") and they have DA first trigger pull. Horrible triggers, little to no support, refusal of HK to send anyone but a HK dealer even a simple part.

Bladetech, comptac, lots of leather choices, Get a decent belt and belt holster, Paddles suck, sooner or later your gonna draw and come out with the gun and holster still on the gun.

I recently canceled a couple mag pouch order when they added $12 shipping, to items that can fit in the $4.95 flat rate box. Which the post office provides for free so there isnt any box costs either. One other thing you can do that I did is email them and make sure you let them know why you canceled your order.

Trijicon lists mounts that go on Doctor, and some other "reddot" mounts but they both look the same.

I think auto part stores are the worst for this

How about both knees down then lean left and right at the waste.

You can save some bucks by ordering just the tubes from Brownell's. Most likely you are gonna change the springs,followers and basepads anyway.

you need a different powder, faster is better, Tight group comes to mind, could probably find loads for WST or Clays. How low you can go is gonna depend on what works in your gun and what kinda sport you are playing, most have minimum some have maximum power factor requirements.

I really liked HAP's, more competition and more bullet choices on the market is a good thing, although I am not much of a fan of zero's business practices and will continue to patronize the handful of companies that concentrate on sport shooting.

By rule of the level one exemption you can specify a mandatory reload, someone should be able to execute a prone reload safely, Level one exemptions should only be used as a last resort because of a lack of room or props, If you are building a tunnel you have both, USPSA is about freestyle let people solve the shooting problems freestyle. Matches that go overboard on when's and where's get real boring, There are other games for that.

that was a frikking awesome review, short simple and too the point,,, was that the movie where some genius was using a put together Mini 14 sniper rifle ?

I dont use Metal form 10 rounders .40 mags, I switched to a universal OAL for my .40 ammo and it is a little too long for the spacer mags, I dont use Trip research 10 round mags, they simply didnt work in my SS .40, constant nose dive failure to feeds, They looked like great well made magazines and many swear by them. He did offer to tune my gun to get them to work, But my gun was flawless with the above metal form magazines and factory American Eagle ammo, and metal form 10mm tubes with the chipmcormick extra round followers and long loaded ammo. .40's are strange fellows in a 1911,

But unubtanium is such a cool word ! I really do see 38 sc and tj as a better mousetrap I just wish it was more available, Are there any Super guns that wont run on SC ? Any reason Winchester or Remington couldnt quietly switch their factory brass ? I see Starline does list it as available, but I guess I have just built up the habit of not worrying about brass during a match, At tear down there is usually plenty of .40 or 9 to be picked up on the last stage to replace what I have dropped. About a year ago there were some killer deals on SC open guns and I just happened to have the money, but everywhere I looked I was unable to locate any brass, which kinda scared me away from .38SC, of course now I am horse poor and cant even afford a .22 open.

This started about a year and a half ago, at that time no one had holsters, also no mention was made from EAA about the switch to all rail frames, If I had been present when she picked up the gun I would have refused to accept it as it wasnt the gun she ordered. I really loath pistols with rails and have no use for them, but I guess they are the fad now so everyone has jumped on the bandwagon.

The problem with 38 sc isnt so much the cost of brass its that it seems to be made of unubtanium, I really dont want to pick up brass during a match or worry about specific brass, normally before and after a match I can pick up a bunch, and get plenty of 9mm and .40 to use, I saw a lot of great deals on 38 sc guns get posted here sold and repeatedly reposted as people found out they couldnt get brass. Everywhere I have shot with minimul effort 9mm brass is free, and mailordering once fired is pretty dang cheap, the last time I saw 38SC it was only available new, and was $150 a thousand,

Stopping power is irrelevant on zombies, you have to hit em in the head to stop them, 5.56 is lighter weapon and much lighter ammo, faster to shoot, less recoil, and plenty of penetration.

I got the 617 mixed up with the 317, was looking for something way lighter.

I think they are only making rail guns, which would suck a little less if they actually updated the dealers and websights, On my recommendation a friend bought a witness, no mention was made of rail until it arrived. Oh and just wonderful, no holsters anywhere that will fit.

any metal on the frame under the grips you can remove ? Sorta like the caspian framed 1911's.

We are talking a .45 Widebody, they hold 10 +1 so were not shooting with less rounds than the 9mm guys, IDPA limits mag capacity to 10.

You want a fast powder that takes up alot of room in the case,,, Clays would probably be ideal,

I see this gun is finally showing up at gunbroker,,,, listed way over MSRP, but thats beside the point. Anyone had a chance to play with one ? been looking for a back country trail gun in 22 magnum, all I am finding are snub noses or big heavy steel guns,,,

There's a big thread somewhere on .40 open that gets into all the different mag setups,,,, I can get 22+1 in a mag just slightly over the limited gauge, I think the 170's are getting about 25.

You'll need an ejector, and sInce you said, IDPA, you will also need a different slide stop,,, really the top end switcheroo makes almost no sense whatsoever on any gun. By the time you buy all the parts, and especially if you are paying for fitting these parts, you could have another gun, Yes it can be done but there isnt any advantage, You'll end up messing up your frame to slide fit to the current slide and basically have two topends that dont fit well. You have the ultimate gamer ESP gun already, down load some 180 gr .45 ACP loads to 130 ish power factor and put big giant holes in the cardboard with almost zero recoil.
