Apex Trigger
in Sig
Has any one installed a Apex flat trigger in a P320 after upgrade and if so, what was the new pull weight.
-
I have flown with four handguns without any problem.
Is there a practical upper limit for the number of guns.
(I don't plan on flying with dozens but would six or seven cause World War 3 )
-
I have been shooting a SP 01 for the last two years and have put over 20,000 rounds of all kinds of factory ammo thru it with no more than a handfull of failures.
I have used most name brands made in the U.S. as well as ammo from Brazil, Mexico, and also Blazer.
Accuracy on all of them is fine for USPSA.

I have shot a couple of IDPA matches as a non-member of a club "out West"
When the scores were posted, I had 12 procedurals. Nobody said anything to me while I
was shooting.
I really believe that the score keepers enjoyed giving procedurals.
That's a great way to discourage new shooters from coming back.

I just bought a Cmore sight for my CORE. The dot is so bright I cannot see the target, litterally.
I plan on bringing it bact and get another brand
-
I didn't start until I was 61. That was over sixteen years ago. (do the math).
Last year I shot over 50 matches. Didn't win any of them but wait til this year !!!!!
-
As posted, my original though was to add a CORE slide or modify my Pro to take
a dot.
After talking to my gun shop owner, he convinced me to buy a CORE.
It should arrive in a few days.
I am hard to convince. It took him at least 30 seconds for me to decide to buy another gun.
-
I have an M&P Pro. Is it possible to put a slide
from a M&P CORE on this so I can add a red dot.

Useless factoid.
ALL of the stones used in curling come from a small island off the coast of Scotland.
Yes, I know, I should get a life.

I like the Stoeger 50 round test, but is there a range of times for various classes so we have an idea
of what times to look for.

After looking at the 14 pages of comments I am reminded of a story.
there was a monastery where the monks could only say one sentence a year.
During a meal, one monk said " the potatoes are awful".
A second monk said "the potatoes are fine". Silence
A year goes by.
The first monk says " I think the potatoes are awful ".
The second monk replies "the potatoes are good". silence
Another year goes by.
The first monk repeats his original complaint.
The second monk repeats his reply.
A third monk stands up and says " I'm leaving. I can't stand all this bickering".

I have a Pocket Pro that I bought in 1998.
Outside of changing batteries every now and again, it
has been 100% reliable.
-
I will be moving back to the Phoenix area in about six weeks.
I would like to know if the availability of ammo, especially 9 MM, has loosened up
recently.

Some of you older folk may remember the play "SOUTH PACIFIC"
Since I got my CZ Custom, I have been singing a (slightly) altered
song from that show.
It goes like this: I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in
love with a wonderful GUN !!!!!!

124 vs 147 POI
in CZ
I bought a box of 147s to compare with the 115s. Both factory.
I have a CZ Custom, and at 10 yards, there was no difference. They both shot
a group that could be covered by a nickel.
-
This afternoon I was practicing with empty mags fron CZ and the bottom fell out, just like
in the video.
I have only had the SP01 for a few weeks and haven't done much in the way of mag changes.
I have been shooting USPSA for 15 years with a large variety of guns, from 1911s to various
"tupperware" and never had this happen.
I'm glad it didn't happen during a match....I have enough excuses.
-
My mistake in describing the "cuts" as ports.
I didn't think Doug was in error.
Now I have an excuse to buy one !
-
I just saw an ad from S&W with Doug Koenig demonstrating their ported barrel .45.
He said it could be used in L 10 division. Is this true.

"Shadow Line"
in CZ
After waiting about three months, my Shadow arrived two days ago.
I am as happy as Dracula in a blood bank !
I haven't shot it in a match yet, but shooting it indoors at 10 yards offhand (in my 76 year old
hands), I shot a five shot group that could be covered by a quarter.
A double action Bill Drill was faster than one singe action.
My only small compaint (every body has them) was there is not enough travel
in the rear sight adjustment to drop the group to point of aim.( I am shooting 115 grain
factory loads. I will try 147 grain when I can find them.) With the sight all the way down,
the group is about 2" high at 30 feet.
I am looking forward to the next match to see how it handes at speed.

A few years ago I bought a 34' by 14' shed for an indoor range. I put three steel plates, 4' by 7', at the back with railroad ties
in front of them to eliminate bounce back. The wall and ceiling were covered with insulation to reduce noise. I also installed an
exhaust fan to take care of lead powder.
With a heater for winter use, it is a great way to practice shooting at targets up to 10 yards.
There are no indoor ranges anywhere within a reasonable distance.

Steve,
There is a match on the second Sunday of the month at the Factoryville Club.
Factoryville is north of Scranton. If you go to their websight, there is directions
to the club.
I hope you have long underware.

The Maid
A maid asked for a pay increase.
The wife was very upset about this and asked: "Now Maria, why do you want a pay increase?"
Maria: "There are three reasons why I want an increase..
The first is that I iron better than you."
Wife: "Who said you iron better than me?"
Maria: "Your husband said so."
Wife: "Oh."
Maria: "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."
Wife: "Nonsense, who said you were a better cook than me?"
Maria: "Your husband did."
Wife: "Oh."
Maria: "My third reason is that I am a better lover than you."
Wife (really furious now): "Did my husband say that as well?"
Maria: "No but the gardener did."
SHE GOT THE RAISE

A rear sight should never come loose. I would get it to a gunsmith to see why and then sort it out. I know of one person that has constant problems with rear sights coming loose but that is because he uses 255gr RN`s in his 45 and no amount of advice can convince him that it is knackering his gun and the loose rear sight is just a symptom and not the problem.
About a year ago I was practicing with my Limited gun. During a free style string of fire, something hit me in the mouth. I put my hand to my lip and came away with blood. I guess I probably looked rather shocked trying to figure out who hit me. I looked down at the gun and noticed it no longer had a rear sight. During recoil, the sight came off and gave me a "fat lip". I found the sight on the ground a few feet away. I haven't shot the gun since.

I have been shooting since the invention of gunpowder !
I just tried the 50/50 drill for the first time.

The inventor should get a Nobel Prize and a bag of peanuts.
