Stopped by their booth at nationals. Got my molds taken and am super interest.
Whats everyone experience with them (ie double plugging for open, adequate for indoor etc). Is the platinum custom level worth the extra coin?
Thanks

Isn’t titegroup not advised with coated/polymer bullets?
I havent read read anything from either manufacturers stating do not use as a combination, however people have a lot of issues with it smoking. Personally didn’t have troubles with it during the 80rds of testing and the live fire practice afterwords.
I will I’ll be switching to sport pistol if I can ever get my hands on it.

Here's a fairly comprehensive pdf of data on 180gr Bluebullets and titegroup.
Gun is a 5'' eagle.
If you would like the work sheet for personal uses, pm me your email. All you should have to do is enter velocities and change your bullet grains as needed, and the file will do the rest of the math for you.

What are some of your recommended books? I have "Practical Shooting, Beyond Fundamentals" by Brian Enos on order and inquiring about any other suggestions.
Is there any other writings that are highly regarded for USPSA/IPSC akin to how "Longrange Shooting Handbook" by Ryan Cleckner is PRS/NRL?

Make ready podcast. Though I'm biased and the creators are local to my area.

I'm looking to shoot just fun shoot stuff.I don't reload.I have many 1,000s of 9mm WWB 115gr factory and the like.I see you can get Edges around $2k everywhere and a Brazos tuned hard chromed one for $2,500.Is that as good as anything out there in the right hands or would there be benefits in a $4000 wondergun I'm not seeing ?
For 85-90% of the shooters in the sport the edge won't be the holding them back, myself included.

I think your still lucky, imagine if the NFA was involved
. You are getting a very nice rifle. Standard builds used to be 9-18 months for any custom rifle. Hell it's +3 months for a chamber job if you send the barrel to most gunsmiths. This is the how the business always was, but it's been getting better recently. I feel your pain, but we plan ahead now, and joke about "gunsmith time" (days = weeks). If you're not patient, it's not the sport for you. Good luck!
Tac ops only takes two years to get you your rifle. I agree tho, its why I haven't gone down the full custom build route and buy prefits for my actions.

daaaaaang 10 grains!! come on bruh help me out here lol. The pressure curve is definitely higher in that round vs 40. im intrigued to try it though
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Ya there's definitely alot of pressure, it's equivalent to 9mm Major I've read. Which in turn causes the insane blast that scares a lot of people. I'm sure you can tone it down with 147gr bullets and make Major PF, but I haven't gotten to testing those out yet.
Pressure curve and muzzle blast withstanding, fellow squad mates are always shocked at how my 357 sig feels in the recoil department compared to a 40 cal 2011. -

Commercial ammo is high priced and hot. Never bothered loading down so don't know about recoil at the bottom end. Loading it is not as trouble free as straight walled.
Factory rounds are expensive no doubt.
You don't load it down to make Major PF you load it pretty full tbh. I only have a single stage press, but have had little problems reloading it. -

well seeing as you have loads of brass you're gonna be preferential. im sure your hand loads are super soft and at the floor. more power to you. what's your load data for major?
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
Yes I'm a little bias, have about 2.5k once and twice fired 357 brass.
my 357 load is 124gr speer .355 tmj with 10gr blue dot. -

Call KKM precision, Schuemann and other ball manufacturers to see what your options are. They could definitely make a custom barrel for you. Buy an STI Edge and get the barrel fitted

That's a great suggestion, I hadn't thought about buying a separate barrel for an already built gun.

.40 is definitely softer than .357 sig. also most people load .40 because brass is readily abundant and cheaper. 357 sig is much hotter and harder to tame

My personal experience would force me to disagree. The recoil is softer in the 357 sig, its the muzzle blast that makes it seem so violent.

No I plan on switching back to 357 sig but in a 2011 gun. While the 357 sig has a lot more muzzle blast, the recoil is softer then my 40 loads. My 40 has alot more bullet drop and reliability issues when I try to drop the PF below 170, it works best at 175-180 with 180gr bullets . My 357 hums right along at 167pf with 125gr pills.
I should restate as looking for semi-custom. As awesome full blown custom would be, $5k budget is a tough meal to eat. -
$2,000 for rifle alone go with a semi-custom Patriot Valley Arms "John Handcock" or Seekins Precision "Havak HP1". Both shoot great and use the same KRG stock and Timney Trigger. The main difference is in the action.

You don't need to have a $5000 PRS rig to start, same deal with USPSA. The best firearm to start PRS with is the one you already have, again, just like USPSA.
Many have voiced similar view points but the linked page below does a great overview on getting into a longrange rifle shooting. Read that and I recommend picking up or checking out a copy of Ryan Cleckner's "Long Range Shooting Handbook".

Any local (level 1) uspsa match is worth going out to. Check Facebook for the local area groups and on Practiscore for matches in your area. If that doesn't work out look up the local ranges' calenders for USPSA or IPSC events. The local shooters will be able to point you in the right direction from there.

Congrats on the Black badge. I hear from my friends in Castlegar that its a major thing for Canada IPSC.

When was it ever alive ?
I think at one time single stack mags didnt have to meet the 140 rule,, So maybe 45 limited would be fine in 10 round only states,,, But other than that youd be a one legged man at an ass kicking contestAppendix D2 section 8 states: "Maximum magazine Length - 5.561"(141.25mm) or 6.742"(171.25mm) in single stack guns."
The rule still exists but I don't think you get any extra capacity with the 170mm SS mags in 45 (or any round for that matter) only increased reliability and cost. -
Nope, located in the US. Have read about the round being popular in the land down under. Similar restrictions in AUS making the 357sig a go to like the 38 super in Mexico, correct?
-
With the update rules for Limited (Apependix D2) specifically stating 357 sig is allowed for MPF, do you foresee it replacing or gaining equal popularity to the 40sw? With the extra fps and flatter trajectory while toeing the line closer to 165 PF minimum, along with the reduced cost of bullets it seems like it is primed for an emergence in LTD competition.

Looking into a sem-custom 357 sig 2011 ltd gun. I'm only aware of CK arms currently offering the chambering through their Limited Solution model. Are there any other custom shops I should be talking to?

I have seen Jim do this several times. First time I was pretty amazed.
Couple matches ago, my dot came off my Q5 and Jim was RO ing me. I looked over and said he could DNF me. But he's like, "NO, YOU GOT THIS!" Got the index figured out in a couple of shots and got it done. He made it a point to RO me on the remaining stages that day. I learned a LOT and have since added 'dot off' to my practice routine.
My stage times weren't great, but I finished the match and did better than I thought I would.
Emmett right? I remember hearing about this.
I've personally read that bit and its quite eye ope
